PERSONNEL SCREENING AND SELECTION :
A.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
A candidate applying for the position
of
a remote viewer should be predisposed to performing this type
of
function.
The candidate should possess some background
knowledge about this
field.
The candidate should also be open
minded,
positive,
and possess
a willingness to learn,
grow and
explore.
The implementation and follow-thru of selection
procedures
is critical
in order to insure that only the best
available individuals are hired
for these key remote viewing
positions
.
B.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
The candidate will be tested on his or
her aptitude and potential to perform
in this function prior to
hiring.
A special set of targets have been developed for
testing.
Testing will be accomplished
in two phases.
C.
(C/NF)
During the first phase,
the target pool will
contain both dynamic
(targets with motion)
and static
(still
photographs)
targets.
Dynamic targets consist of action pictures
while the static targets are
a series
of thematically related
still photographs.
The target sets are divided into four
categories to include military,
scientif ic/industr Lai,
natural/nontechnical,
and projects.
D.
(C/NF)
Two factors are considered when choosing
targets.
Within each category,
targets are chosen because they
are thematic,
interesting,
and possess geometric elements that
can easily be drawn.
Second,
they are selected to be as distinct
as possible to insure
for judging accuracy.
E.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Several target packets are assembled
prior to the first phase testing period.
To prepare
a single
packet,
the Activity Chief or
a designated remote viewer randomly
chooses one target from each
of the four categories.
The targets
are individually placed
into opaque envelopes and sealed.
The
target packets are shuffled and locked
in
a
safe.
One of the
packets
is selected by the Activity Chief
or the designated
remote viewer
for use during the initial
session.
F.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
The initial testing session begins
with an introduction to remote viewing which
is presented to the
candidate by either the Activity Chief or
a designated remote
viewer.
This introduction will
include an historical overview

of remote viewing and research that has been conducted
in this
field.
This presentation will also include good and not so good
examples
of remote viewing.
G.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
After
a short break,
the experimental
portion of the testing
is initiated.
The first phase of testing
requires that an individual acting
in the role of
a
"sender"
be
involved
in the experiment.
This individual
is sequestered
in an
isolated and closed room throughout the four phased trial series.
The "sender"
is responsible for random target selection and
display during each trail run.
While each trial run
is
in
progress,
the sender views the
selected, target material
and
mentally attempts to "send" the target information to the
candidate being tested.
A monitor
is also involved
in the
experiment to insure for the security of the response and target
feedback to the candidate.
H.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Before the series begins,
the
designated remote viewer describes to the candidate what
is
expected during the experiment.
The designated viewer explains
the logistics
of data collection and provides
a short list of
hints on how to accomplish remote viewing.
The candidate
is
encouraged to write and/or draw their first impressions
on the
provided single response sheet.
I.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
The sequence of events
for each trial
run
is as follows:
1.
A one minute relaxation period
is allowed during
which the candidate
is encouraged to clear his
or her
mind staying alert and relax as much as possible.
2.
A single telephone ring
(i.e.
the sender does not
answer the phone)
signals the sender to chose
a target
randomly and view
it continuously until
further notice.
3.
A five minute viewing period
is allowed.
4.
The data
is collected and then secured
in
a
Large
envelope
.
5.
A single telephone ring signals the sender that the
viewing
is completed and then he or she can come out of
the isolated room and display the target to
the
candidate as feedback.

6.
A short break
is allowed before the next trial
run begins.
J.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
During phase two,
the targets are the
same but no "sender"
is used.
Before
a training session begins,
the monitor selects the top opaque envelope from
a randomly
ordered stack of envelopes.
The monitor places that sealed
envelope
in
a separate and isolated locked room during the remote
viewing session.
K.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
The sequence of events
for each trial
run
is as follows:
1.
After
a brief relaxation period,
the candidate
is
instructed to describe the target with written words
and drawings.
2.
A five to fifteen minute viewing period
is allowed.
3.
The data
is collected from the candidate,
secured
and copied.
4.
The target
is displayed
for the viewer
as feedback.
L.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
The candidate's responses to the
intended targets are judged by an independent designated remote
viewer who has been uninvolved with the experiment
.
M.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
As background,
the above described
method was developed by SRI
in October
1989.
A copy of the SRI
document was provided to DIA
in order to assist this Activity
with
a protocol
for identifying and selecting personnel.
N.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
After
a candidate
is selected for
a
position vacancy,
he or she will sign
a Statement of Consent
issued by DIA.
This
is due to the fact that the DIA and DoD
General Counsels’
have determined that Project STAR GATE
constitutes experimentation on human subjects.
As required by
Procedure
of DoD Directive 5240. 1-R,
approval
for project
activities has been granted by the Deputy Secretary of Defense to
the DIA for implementation.
The Statement
of Consent was
prepared
in accordance with guidelines issued by the Department
of Health and Human Services.
Specifically,
guidelines under
Section 46.116;
Subpart A,
Part
46,
Title
45,
Code
of Federal
Regulations were used to prepare the statement.

III.
(U)
METHODOLOGIES :
A.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Remote Viewing
is
a highly controlled
and formally established unique
intelligence collection
capability which has the following characteristics:
1.
It
is passive.
To the extent of our knowledge,
collection by remote viewing
is totally passive,
that
is to
say,
it cannot be detected when used.
2.
It
is inexpensive.
The principal cost of remote
viewing collection
is the people involved.
There
is
little expensive hardware.
3.
There
is no known defense.
Time,
distance,
target,
size
or degree of difficulty all have no apparent
effect on collection by remote viewing.
B.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
As
a result of SRI's technology and
research
in remote viewing,
this Activity adapted
its approaches
and methodologies
in
1979.
An eclectic approach was taken,
using
those methods which had applications potential
for training,
in-
house investigations and operational requirements.
C.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
These approaches/methodologies are
as
follows
:
1.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Extended Remote Viewing
(ERV)
draws
on the expertise of over two decades
of research
by independent investigators and recognized academic
institutions
including the University
of Virginia
Medical Center,
the Maimonides Medical Center,
the Mind
Science Foundation,
the University of California at
Davis,
Texas Southern University of Houston,
Mundelein
College,
Syracuse University,
and others.
a)
The ERV approach has
as
its goa
L
the
subjective temporal extension of subliminally
brief psychic impressions.
The trained ERV
percipient
is able to control,
observe and report
perceptions which would otherwise be ignored
or
neglected fleeting
images.
b)
This extension of the perceptua L window
is
accomplished through the achievement
of
a discrete

state of consciousness defined by
identified state
dependent behaviors.
These behaviors are regarded
as skills which the trainee must master.
c)
The basic components of the ERV training
procedure
involve the trainee
in learning the
following skills:
1)
Skill
1:
The ability to physically
relax.
Training
in progressive relaxation
techniques,
biofeedback and yoga.
2)
Skill
2:
The ability to reduce
level
of
physical arousal.
Training
in biofeedback
techniques,
self-control exercises and
autogenic training.
3)
Skill
3:
The ability to attenuate
sensory
input.
Training
in sensory
isolation,
concentration exercises and
"centering devices."
4)
Skill
4:
The ability to
increase
awareness
of
internal feelings and images.
Training
in dream recall,
guided visual
imagery exercises,
subliminal recognition
drills and hemispheric synchronization.
5)
Skill
5:
The ability to engage
"receptive mode/right hemispheric
functioning.
Hemispheric synchronization
training,
biofeedback,
mode recognition and
drawing classes.
6)
Skill
6:
The ability to achieve an
altered view of reality.
Reading
assignments,
intellectual
study,
meditation
and contemplation exercises.
7)
Skill
7:
The ability to communicate
remote viewing perceptions.
Training
in
right hemispheric verbalization techniques,
sketching techniques and practice
in non-
analytic reporting.
d)
Each one of these skills
is trained over
a
period
of several weeks.
When the trainee
demonstrates independent mastery of each skill,
he

then
learns to combine the skills.
The goal
is to
simultaneously exhibit all
of the learned skills
thereby achieving specified discrete state
of
consciousness
in which the trainee
is able to
remote view.
e)
Once the trainee
is able to become
a remote
viewer by engaging these learned skills,
he or she
is then challenged to perform under controlled
conditions.
This
is done by presenting the
trainee with progressively complex remote viewing
tasks coupled with
a reinforcement strategy
designed to develop self-confidence and to
internalize ego state stabilizing factors.
2.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Coordinate Remote Viewing
(CRV)
was developed by an
SRI subcontractor
in the early
1980's to satisfy R&D demands on SRI to enhance the
reliability
(scientific replicability)
of remote
viewing.
a)
The subcontractor's approach to improving the
reliability
of remote viewing was to focus on the
control
of those factors that
in his view tend to
introduce
"noise"
into the remote viewing product
which are
identified
as
imaginative,
environmental
and monitor overlays.
b)
The basic components
of this training
procedure consist
of:
1)
Repeated site-address
(coordinate)
presentation,
with quick-reaction response by
the remote viewer;
coupled with
a restrictive
format
for reporting perceived information to
minimize imaginative overlay.
2)
The use of
a specially-designed,
acoustic-tiled,
relatively featureless,
homogeneously-colored "viewing chamber"
to
minimize environmental overlays.
3)
The adoption
of
a strictly-prescribed,
limited monitor patter to minimize
interviewer overlays.

c)
CRV subdivides the detection and decoding of
psychic impressions
into discrete achievable
skills known as stages one to six.
The process
usually begins by presenting the remote viewer
with encrypted geographical coordinates,
hence the
name
CRV.
d)
Encrypted geographical coordinates
is
a series
of twelve numbers
or
less selected
from
a random
program generator used to disguise
a
set of
geographical coordinates representing
a specific
point on earth.
e)
The applied CRV training procedure requires
that the trainee learn the progressive multi-stage
acquisition process postulated to correspond
to
increased contact with the
site.
f)
Initially,
the trainee
is presented with
remote viewing sites requiring minimal detection
and decoding skills
("Stage One"
sites).
When the
trainee demonstrates
an ability to control the
"signal
line"
and reliable "objectives" accurate
descriptions,
the next
"stage"
of training
is
engaged.
This procedure continues through
"Stage
Six"
and usually takes
a number
of months to
master
.
g)
The CRV stages are identified below:
1)
Stage One:
Islands,
mountains,
deserts,
oceans
.
2)
Stage Two:
Sites
of quality sensory
value;
sites which are uniquely describable
through touch,
taste,
sound,
color or odor
such as glaciers,
volcanoes and industrial
plants
.
3)
Stage Three:
Sites possessing
significant dimensional characteristics such
as buildings,
bridges and airfields.
4)
Stage Four:
Sites requiring qualitative
mental percepts
such
as technical area,
military feeling and research.
5)
Stage Five:
Sites requiring the
interrogation of qualitative mental percepts

6)
Stage
Six:
Sites requiring direct,
three-dimensional assessment of site elements
to one another such as airplanes inside one
of three camouflaged hangers or
a military
compound with
a command building,
barracks,
motor pool and underground weapons storage
area
.
h)
As Stage Six
is engaged,
an assessment
of
relative temporal and spatial dimensional elements
along with further qualitative elements evolve
into the consciousness
of the trainee.
i)
The CRV procedure
is
fully documented
in
booklet form which was published by
SRI.
Copies
of this booklet are maintained by this Activity
for training purposes.
Of special note
is the
fact that this booklet

(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Written Remote Vi ewing
(WRV)
:
In WRV,
the remote viewer can perceive direct,
detailed
information.
WRV
is phonetically and verbally oriented
and can be used
in both the predictive and search
modes.
The WRV process consists of utilizing a pen or
pencil and writing on paper information perceived.
The
writing
is
a rapid and flowing movement
initiated by
impulses to the autonomic nervous
system.
4.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Other Methodologi es:
After
a
trainee has received training
in the aforementioned
methodologies,
he or she can receive additional
training
in secondary methodologies as
follows:
a)
(U)
Dowsing which
is the search for
underground supplies
of water,
metal
etc.
by
the use of
a forked stick known
as

(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
TARGET SELECTION :
There are generally
four areas
of target selection
for Training Projects and they are
as
follows:
A.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Project STAR GATE'S training
program begins with Beacon Remote Viewing.
In Beacon
Remote Viewing,
a designated person acts as
a
’•beacon"
and visits
a selected site where he or she observes and
concentrates
on key target features.
At
the same time,
the trainee attempts to describe key features of the
site.
After the session and all reports are recorded,
the beacon person returns and takes the trainee to the
site
for his or her
feedback.
Beacon Remote Viewing
is
an excellent tool
for training because the trainee
is
taken to the site to actually see what they remote
viewed.
The trainee receives rapid feedback and can
readily verify what was correct
or incorrect
in his or
her session report.
Beacon Remote Viewing can
establish confidence quickly
in the remote viewing
process.
B.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
After
a series of Beacon Remote
Viewing targets are completed,
the
trainee will begin
to work geographical,
fixed or global
targets.
These
types
of targets can be anywhere and can be of
anything.
However,
the selected site should be
relatively unique and have clear distinct features
or
aspects to minimize ambiguity.
The target site can
emphasize natural or man-made features,
or contain
a
mix
of these aspects.
These targets permit operational
simulations since they contain easy to verify military
technical targets such as military facilities to permit
operational calibration and to evaluate feasibility
of
certain types
of potential projects.

(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Personalities involve the
trainee's ability to describe characteristics or other
aspects such
as state-of-the-health of an individual.
The target personality can be male or female of any age

TRAINING PROTOCOLS ;
A.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
For training purposes,
a Project
Officer
is responsible for selecting
a target to
include
obtaining and securing the needed materials
in
a sealed envelope.
He or she then assigns the target
a number and tasks the
individual remote viewer trainee via
a tasking
sheet.
1.
The tasking sheet,
which
is essentially
a request
for information,
will consist of
a project number,
viewer identification number,
and the date of the
actual tasking.
The tasking sheet can also
include
encrypted geographical coordinates
for those viewers
being trained
in the CRV methodology.
This information
is filled out by the Project Officer and then given to
the remote viewer prior to his
or her session (s)
2.
The tasking sheet will also consist
of
an
evaluation and can include the date the project
is
completed.
This information will be filled out by the
Project Officer following the remote viewing
session (s).
(A copy of the tasking sheet
is at
Appendix
B)
3.
The tasking
itself,
should be minimal without
elaborating on
information that could lead
a viewer.
For example,
the tasking sheet should only state,
"Describe site and activity,"
or "Describe
personality."
It has scientifically been proven that
the
less information given to the remote viewer,
the
more accurate the information.
The more information
given to
a viewer,
the less accurate the information
and the viewer will have
a tendency to theorize.

Once the remote viewer has received
his
or her tasking,
he
or
she can begin to conduct their

session (s)
.
The remote viewing activity
in
a training mode
will utilize the Viewer/Monitor approach.
This
is
a team
effort whereby
a monitor records the information the viewer
is receiving.
C.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Historically,
an experienced remote
viewer has served as
a monitor
for
a trainee.
Experience
in
working with remote viewers has shown that there are
a number of
considerations,
precautions and potential problems
for which one
should be prepared.
1.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
First,
when
a monitor
is present,
it
is especially important to ensure that this
.
individual has no knowledge of target possibilities.
This
is what
is known as
a double-blind.
This
precludes the monitor leading the viewer.
2.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Second,
there
is
a strong
tendency to pick and choose information according to
a
monitor's mental set and preconceptions.
It
is
in the
act
of interpretation that
lies the ever present
possibility of misinterpretation.
3.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Third,
often times
a monitor can
become quite frustrated with
a remote viewer because of
the nature of the psychic information.
It can seem
incomplete,
sporadic and sometimes symbolic or even
irrelevant
.
D.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
When
a trainee has completed the
necessary sessions needed to collect the information,
he or she
will then write
a report
of his or her findings.
This report,
which
is essentially
a summary
of information,
will
indicate the
project number,
the viewer's identification number,
the date of
the report and session(s)
date(s).
This report can also
include
corresponding drawings or sketches of the target site.
When the
report
is completed,
it will then be given to the Project Officer
for
an evaluation to be made.
(See Appendix
C for
a copy
of
a
report
.
)
E.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Feedback on the actual target will
be
provided to the trainee
in conjunction with the evaluation.
In
the training process,
feedback
is always immediate
in order that
the trainee knows his or her level of accuracy.

a trainee has received training
in Beacon Remote Viewing and has worked Proficiency

conferences,
and meetings which will serve
to enhance one's remote viewing ability.
