RV Phenomenon--Definition Remote viewing (RV) is the ability of certain individuals to access and describe, by means of mental processes, information blocked from ordinary perception by distance or shielding. Targets for remote viewing SGTA have ranged from small objects in nearby light-tight cannisters to remote technical facilities at intercontinental distances, from numbers generated B. RV Application to Intelligence Requirements eee ee gt ements Since the early 1970s, SRI International has been tasked by the DoD/ Intelligence communities to assess the potential of remote viewing for intelligence applications, both to enhance the potential for U.S. appli- cations, and to provide data that would be useful in assessing the threat potential of corresponding Soviet/East Bloc applications, To carry out this task, SRI has responded to operational requirements set by intelligence community representatives monitoring the progress of the work, The investigations have shown that remote viewing, both by SRI and Army INSCOM personnel, has in many cases provided meaningful descriptions of, e.g., East-bloc targets of interest to the intelligence community, Evaluation by appropriate intelligence community specialists indicates that a remote viewer is able by this process to generate useful data corroborated by other intelligence data. As is generally true with other human sources, the information is fragmentary and imperfect, and therefore should not be relied on alone but is best utilized in conjunction with other resources, Although efforts to establish the precise degree of 3 SECRET Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001100340001-3
SG1A Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001100340001-3 SECRET accuracy and reliability are not yet complete, the data generated by the RV process appears to exceed any reasonable bounds of chance correlation or acquisition by ordinary means and therefore constitutes an exploitable information source. Successful operational viewings carried out by the SRI team for the DoD/Intelligence communities include: e A secret NSA facility, including codeword retrieval. e Soviet R&D facility at Semipalatinsk (PNUTS), Results from some of these tests are presented here as examples. 4 SECRET Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001100340001-3

(2) Large metallic gores which comprise a sphere (or spheres) buried underground, INFORMATION PROVIDED TO REMOTE VIEWER: (1) Coordinates of the site (latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes and seconds). (2) Viewer told site was an R&D facility in the Soviet Union, ~ (3) Viewer and interviewer otherwise blind as to site, RESULT: Remote viewer narrated a description which was tape recorded, and remote viewer rendered (among others) drawings shown on following two pages, indicating: (1) The presence of the large crane, correctly identified as to size, (2) Assembling of large spheres from metallic gores.
