Price was also reminded at the erd of this phone convar- sation to continue working on a picture (sketch) of the tall rail-mounted crane that runs up to Building 1. The tape resumes with yet another telephone conversation between Russ Targ and Pat Price with only the voice of Russ Targ being neard. Price appar- ently reported that he saw a dome-shaped building (about 55' tall x 160' diam- eter) with its center located about 200 ft. west of the SW corner of Building 1. He also saw a 65-to-75 ft.-tall cement silo-like building south of the dome- shaped building that consisted of three 25 ft.-diameter vertical silos tangent to each other (see Fig. 6 for their relative locations). He confirmed that’ the swimming pool was west of both Building 1 and the silo-like building. Russ Targ then concluded the phone conversation with a request for a sketch of the crane that runs on rails; specifically, "What does the crane look like when it's outside of Building 1?" Since Price had seen two types cf gantry cranes (one about 150 ft. tall and the other about 50 ft. tall), he sketched both of them (see Figs. 7 and 8). Discussion of Sketches Drawn by Pat Price on the Second Day The detail shown in Fig. 7, the sketch of the taller gantry crane, is remarkably close in detail to the actual gantry crane at URDF-3. This sketch provides the most positive evidence yet to support the validity of Price's re- mote viewing of URDF-3. Figures 9 and 10 illustrate the cement silo-like building and the dome-shaped building. Figure 6 shows their relative locations to Building 17; however, there is nothing at URDF-3 that looks like the dome-shaped building or the silo-like building. In Fig. 6, these buildings are shown in the general location where, at URDF-3, a partially earth-covered tank and tall cylindrical- shaped tanks or towers appear. The swimming pool (in Fig. 6) is in the general location of the headframes at URDF-3. * - Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00794R000200240001-0 ,

is a communication which
I hope
will
help to
clarify many
of
things that have been brought to my attention over the past
jple
of days.
ien we talked
in front

last week
in reference
to
Jim Schnabel,
I informed you that
I had every intention
of
making with him towards the end
of
his program.

history
of Remote Viewing.
You stated
that you
felt
was sincere
in
his
efforts
to present RV
in a favorable
light,
that time, we also discussed my
reservations, and why
I have
jm.
lave since been informed
of the
following:
That you have told various personnel within TMI that
I have
reed to work with you and Jim Schnabel on the Remote Viewing
eduction.
And,
it has also come to my attention that you have agreed

is used during Gateway presentations
him, and
in fact have already done so.
e
first statement
is not true.
You and
I have no agreement
:h
regard to the production
or Jim Schnabel.
I spoke with him
the end
of his seminar at which time he presented me a
Dposal.
I
told him
that
I would consider
it very
seriously and
'0 him a response no
later than Memorial Day.
I
did not take

proposal
lightly.
In
fact
I gave
it very serious

My decision and response was to not

To:
From
:
Edwin C. May, Ph.D.
Subject:
Contacts
I thought I would provide a list of people and a description of their role in the project. They appear in no
special order:
^ Dr. Jack Vorona
(703 ) 692-9036 Office
Jack has the longest continuous interaction with the project. As DD for S&TI at DIA, he was actively
involved from 1975 until he retired in 1991. Jack monitored the project’s funding, political interactions,
the establishment of the Ft. Meade group when they were part of Army INSCOM and its transfer to
DIA, and is intimately familiar with the success and failures of the applied activity.
In addition he is
cognizant of the political risks and how they evolved over the years. Jack currently serves as chairman of
the sponsor-directed Policy Oversight Committee.
y
Garrison Rapmund, MD, MG (ret)
I
Gary has followed the program since 1978 where he was active on one of the Human Use Review Boards
for the Army. While commander of the Army Medical Research and Development Command, he initi-
ated a $10 M, 5-year research and applications program. He was the creative force behind our Scientific
Review Committees and was the first to meld applications with careful research. Gary currently serves
as the chairman of our Institutional Review Board (i.e., Human Use Committee) and is the liaison with
our Scientific and Policy committees. Dr. Rapmund can provide an objective and non-intelligence com-
munity perspective on the research, applications, and politics.
Professor Jessica M. Utts, Ph.D
(916) 752-2361 Office
Jessica is a full professor of statistics at the University of California at Davis. She has national recogni-
tion for her research contribution and is often called upon to comment scientifically and in the media on
statistical issues including anomalous mental phenomena. She has been involved with the research on a
consultant basis and has helped to establish the reality of a genuine information transfer anomaly. She
has first hand knowledge of the program from 1985 to the present and is particularly astute at under-
standing the statistical requirements that must be met before a weak phenomenon can be considered
valid.
Mr. Joseph McMoneagle, USA (ret)
I
Joe was the primary source for the Meade activity from its inception in 1979 until his retirement in 1984.
He can provide information about protocols, selection of people, and analysis from the inside. Joe cur-
rently is one of our major sources of data.
Mr. James Ambrose
As the Under Secretary of the Army, Mr. Ambrose was fully informed about the AMRDC’s 1986 pro-
gram, which he had approved. He is cognizant of the technical aspects of the program and can describe
OSD’s view in the late 1980’s. Jim currently serves as a member of our Policy Oversight Committee.

continued with discussions
of
the length
of
the gantry rails.
Price saw weld-
ing operations
taking place south
of. Building
and also saw an electrical
sub-
station east of the building
(see
Fig.
5).
In reality there
is
no substation
near the gantry crane or Building
at
URDF-3.
The session ended at noon.
*
The session resumed at
3:01
p.m,
with what appears
to
be
a
telephone con-
versation between Price and one of the experimenters.
Although
it's
possible
to hear only the experimeter's
side of the conversation,
the discussion appeared
to
be related
to
the dimensions
of the gantry crane.
Price
had
said earlier
that day
that:
1)
the distance between the rails was about
50 ft.,
2)
the height of Building
was about
50 ft„,
3)
the height of the gantry crane was about 150 ft.,
and
4)
the crane ran on
the rails
that entered into
Building
.
The above dimensions
lead
to
a discrepancy
in dimensions because
the gantry
crane
is
too
tall
(150 ft.)
to enter the
ft. -tall
Building
1.
This discre-
pancy
is
resolved
by Price telling
the experimeters
that the
tall
gantry crane
does not enter Building
but that there are
two shorter gantry cranes
inside
Building
that also
run
on
the
ft. -wide
rails
-
one running
east- west on
rails and one running north-south
to meet
the
tall
gantry crane outside
the
building
on
the same
rail.
This complicated relationship of three gantry
cranes
does
not exist
at URDF-3.
Price is
then contacted by phone again and asked
to scan
the area across
the road west of Building
(see Fig.
5).
He
is
told
that
in
that region
there's
something else which
is on the order of being
as
large or as unique
as
the crane.
(The experimeter
is obviously trying
to see
if Price can see
the four headframes
that exist
at
URDF-3).
Note:
there
is
an azimuthal
shift
of- 90°
in comparing
the north-south motion of Price's
tall
rail-mounted gantry
crane as opposed
to
the actual
east-west motion of the rail -mounted gantry crane'
at URDF-3.
For the time being,
if one accepts
this -rotation of 90%

May, Ph.D. Re: SAIC Experiment Database SG1I Ce: [Sd Michael Mumford, Ph.D. and Andy Rose, Ph.D. (ATR) T have been asked to identify a complete list of experiments that were conducted at Science Applications Intemational Corporation (SAIC) from 4 February 1991 through 30 September 1994. ‘This memorandum lists the experiments, describes their qustilication, and tabulates their overall results. In addition, complete references to the original reports will be provided, Background It is instructive ta waderstand the context in which SAIC was contracted ta canduct research into anomalous miental phenomena. bollowing the example of the previous Cognitive Sciences Program at SRI International, we were asked to create a Scientific Oversight Conmumittee (SOC) that would be actively involved in monitoring the research. ‘he SOC’ s charter was to: * Review and approve a detailed written protocol, including all statistical analyses, for cach proposed experiment. * Exercise unannounced “drop-in” privileges to observe experiments in progress. * Review, in written form, the final reports and the conclusion of each study. « Provide guidelines for future research. To comply with a Congressional-directed requirement, the first four months of the contract were used to prepare a 5-year integrated research plan. Following that, technical and human-use protocols had to be officially approved before any experimentation could begin. Thus, data collection began in January 1992. Experiments continued, albeit with gaps to prepare and seck approval for more protocols, through March, (994. All approved technical and human-use (i.e., Institutional Review Board) protocol documents, final reports, and SOC comments are on file with the sponsor and are available for review.

experimenter was correct
in asking Price
to
look
in
the region west of Building
as
shown
in
Fig.
5.
Price was also reminded
at the
end of this phone conver-
sation
to continue working
on
a picture
(sketch)
of the
tall
rail-mounted crane
that runs
up
to Building
1.
The tape resumes with yet another telephone conversation between Russ
Targ and
Pat Price with only the voice of Russ Targ
being
heard.
Price appar-
ently reported
that
he saw
a dome-shaped
building
(about
55'
tall
x
160'
diam-
eter)
with
its center located about 200
ft. west of the SW corner of Building
1.
He also saw
a 65-to-75
ft. -tall
cement silo-like building
south
of the dome-
shaped building
that consisted of three
ft. -diameter Vertical
silos
tangent
to each other
(see
Fig.
6 for their relative
locations),
He confirmed
that-'
the swimming
pool
was west of both Building
and
the
s'ilo-like building.
Russ Targ then concluded
the phone conversation with
a request for
a
sketch of the crane that runs
on rails;
specifically,
"What does
the crane
look
like when
it's outside of Building
1?"
Since Price
had
seer,
two
typ-;
gantry cranes
(one about 150 ft.
tall
and
the other about
50 ft.
tall),
he
sketched
both of them
(see
Figs.
7 and
8).
Discussion of Sketches
Drawn by Pat Price
on
the Second Day
The detail
shown
in
Fig.
7,
the sketch of the taller gantry crane,
is remarkably close
in detail
to
the actual
gantry crane at URDF-3.
This sketc
provides
the most positive evidence yet
to support the validity of Price's
re-
mote viewing
of URDF-3.
Figures
9 and
illustrate the cement silo-like building and
the
dome-shaped
building.
Figure
shows
their relative locations
to Building
1;
however,
there
is
nothing at URDF-3
that
looks
like
the dome-shaped
building
or the silo-like building.
In
Fig.

these buildings are shown
in
the general
location where,
at URDF-3,
a

tall

In a typical anomalous mental phenomena (AMP) task, we define: * Anomalous Cognition (AC)—A form of information transfer in which all know sensorial stimuli are absent. That is some individuals are able to gain access to information by an as yet unknown process. This is also known as Remote Viewmg (RV) and Clairyoyance. * Apent— An individual who attempts to influence a target system by mental means alone. * Analyst—An individual who provides a quantitative measure of AC. This individual usually is blind to experimental conditions and the intended target. * Anomalous Perturbation (AP)—A torm of interaction with matter in which all known physical mechanisms are absent. That is, some individuals are able to influence matter by an as yet unknown process. This is also known as Psychokinesis (PK). + Beacon— An individual who, while receiving direct sensorial stimuli from an intended target, acts as a focus of attention for the receiver in AC experiments, - Compute Assisted Search (CAS)—The use of computer-generated options which are linked to real-world objects in a Search task. * Reedback — After a response has been secured, information about he intended target is displayed to the receiver or agent bd Noise —Incorrect elements in an AC response. * Protocol— A template for conducting a structured data collection session. * Receiver— An individual who attempts to perceive by AC and report information about a sensorially isolated target. A Receiver is also known as a Subject or Percipient. « Response — Material that is produced during an AC" session. * Search —'The inverse of AC. ‘That is, given a known target, determine its location. ‘l'his 18 also known as Dowsing. * Sender— An individual who, while receiving direct sensorial stimuli from an intended target, acts as a putative transmitter of that information to the receiver in AC experiments. * Session—a time interval during which AMP data are collected. * Specalty—A given receiver's ability to be paracularly successiul with a given — class of targets (c.g, people as oppased to buildings). + Target— An item that is the focus of an AMP task (e.2., person, place, thing, event). * Target Designation——A method by which a specific target, against the backdrop of all other possible targets, is identified to the receiver (e.9., seographical coordinates). * Trial—The smallest unit of data to be analyzed.

STARGATE
In the post-cold war era, the nature and activities of the
STAI^>ATE Program are more relevant to the mission of the
Central Intelligence Agency Program (CIAP) than the military
intelligence services. Therefore, the conferees direct the Director
of DIA to transfer ten civilian billets and $500,000 that are
currently dedicated to the STARGATE program to the CIAP. The
transfer of STARGATE resources and management to the CIAP
should be completed by July 1, 1995. The conferees direct the
PCI to submit a status report to the .appropriate committees by
March
1,
1995.
The report must
include
1) management
strategy; 2) transfer status; and 3)
identification of a program
manager. The directions for STARGATE included in the Senate
report are adopted by the conferees.
