(S/SK/WNINTEL) The mission of the SUN STREAK Prototype Operational Group (POG) remains dedicated to the exploitation of the Remote Viewing (RV) process to determine its potential and effectiveness as a Human Intelligence (HUMINT) collection tool. At a minimum, remote viewing is a discipline of last resort that can be utilized as a cuing mechanism in support of and in coordination with other US intelligence community agencies. 2. (S/SK/WNINTEL) The POG is comprised of professional intelligence officers, a group of highly self-disciplined personnel dedicated to the development and exploitation of this unique methodology. The attached annual report reflects the scope of this extensive effort with its perceived highlights of accomplishments as well as its limitations and shortfalls. 3. (S/SK/WNINTEL) The following reports reflect the results of activity pursued by the POG for CY 1988: a. (U) At TAB A is the Annual Production Report retrieved and sorted by remote viewer. b. At TAB B is the Annual Production Report retrieved and sorted by remote viewing methodology. c. At TAB C is the Annual Production Report retrieved and sorted by operational project. SG1J 4.

(S/SK/WNINTEL) All remote viewers are cross-trained in remote viewing methodologies that include Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) and Extended Remote Viewing (ERV). The practical application of reducing the training time from two years to six months in CRV and ERV was successfully implemented. A third methodology identified as Written Remote Viewing (WRV) surfaced as an _ initiative during the reporting period. It is anticipated that will complete ERV training in late January 1988; is pursuing training in WRV on her own initiative and under the tutelage of SG1J ave expressed an interest in pursuing training in WRV. Training in WRV is being done on a voluntary basis. completed Stage SG1J IV of CRV on 10 January 1989. has attended monthly meetings of the American society of American Dowsers (ASAD) in Baltimore on his own initiative and at his own expense. Both have been encouraged to attend career related courses at the Defense Intelligence College. More than one hundred remote viewing sessions were conducted in a solo mode mainly against training targets. Sessions conducted in a solo mode are independently pursued by a remote viewer without the assistance or presence of an interviewer/facilitator. Remote viewers are at liberty to incorporate CRV, ERV, WRV methodologies in part or in toto while operating in a solo remote viewing mode. Solo remote viewing appears to be characteristically successful against highly refined targets of great specificity. Sessions are shorter and the conceptual accuracy of the results are highly encouraging. The remote viewer breaks quickly if he feels himself slipping into analytical overlay. 6. (S/SK/WNINTEL) During the reporting period, the unit Automatic Data Processing (ADP) system was programmed to reflect the scope and value of all training and operational sessions from 1986 to date. This information is now retrievable by date, remote viewer number, project number and methodology used. The results of training sessions are entered on a daily basis. Results of operational sessions are entered upon receipt of customer feedback. About 15 to 20 percent of operational sessions were evaluated based on customer feedback, known ground truth, or public disclosures of previously classified data, ‘DP96-00788R001000380004-7 4 ers Approved For Release 2000/08/07 » GIA: ~

(S/SK/WNINTEL) Except for the Branch Chief and personnel involved in training, all remote viewers operationally function and interact as remote viewers, as project officers, and as facilitators/interviewers. Personnel are expected to remote view on about a daily basis; they are not expected to conduct more than two sessions in one day. During the reporting period, seventy-four sessions were targeted against the US hostages in Lebanon. Customer feedback indicates the information provided was of value to the customer when it addressed the locations of the hostages,their groupings, and their physical status. Predictive estimates on the dates of release were in error. Other customer feedback revealed that on three occasions POG personnel were able to pinpoint the location of ships of interest to DIA. In the third instance, a dollar-value assessment of significance was added to the feedback. The three reports of interest are encouraging in POG efforts to resolve the search problem, i.e., the ability to pinpoint an identifiable location of a person, place or thing in time and space. Continuing attempts to provide information of a predictive nature were generally in error notwithstanding some occasional success. To date, the results of our efforts dealing with future time are Simply not marketable. POG customers are made aware of this fact at the outset of any operational project. 8. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Protocols explaining CRV methodology and ERV methodology are at TAB D’and TAB E’respectively. A protocol for the WRV methodology is being formulated for review. The POG is looking forward to greater successes from the challenges of 1989.
