(S) This report documents a remote viewing session conducted in compliance with a request from SOD, J3, OJCS, Pentagon, Washington, DC. The purpose of this session was to provide information relevant to the hostage situation in Iran. 2. (S) The remote viewer's impressions of the target are provided as raw intelligence data and as such have nat been subjected to any intermediate analysis, evaluation or collation. Interpretation and use of the informa- tion provided is the responsibility of the requestor. 3, (S) The protocol used for this session is detailed in the document Grill Flame Protocol, AMSAA Applied Remote Viewing Protocol (S), undated. 4, (S) Following is a transcript of the viewer's impressions during the remote viewing session. At TAB A is target cuing information provided the remote viewer. 5, (S$) The remote viewer was asked to find Richard Morefield, identify his location, any other hostages, and describe physical security at this location. The viewer described Morefield as being located on the 2d or 3d floor of a flat-roofed building which is located west of a large city. The remote viewer obtained little other data during this session. 6. (S) The remote viewer stated that he had no drawings to execute concerning this session.

This is to be compared with the 1.6 significant scorers expected on the basis of chance alone. The probability of observing 9 or more independently sig- nificant scorers among 32 subjects is 1.91 x 107° (exact binomial test). In seven of those subjects, scoring was in the direction of psi hitting (i.e., slower hemolysis in the protect than in the control tubes); in two subjects, scoring was in the direction of psi missing (i.e., faster hemolysis in the protect than in the control tubes).

This was done because the pilot study had yielded a consid- erable number of scores in the missing direction. If one wishes to predict only psi hitting, a critical f = 1.73 (p < .05, one-tailed) could be used. By such a hitting-alone criterion, eight independently significant hitters may be identified (Subject No. 26 now reaches signifi- cance). The probability of observing 8 out of 32 independently significant hitters is 1.39 x 1074. Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002200620001-9

event
will
take
the
route
to
the
San Andreas
Island for refueling and then proceed on to Mexico.
This scheduled
event
will
take
place
within
the
next
six
weeks
and
will
be
carrying
cargo
along with
illegal
drugs
in the
form
of
cocaine.
Parties involved are the drug cartel and other individuals who have
been known
in the past to work for the cartel.
The aircraft will
land
in Mexico.
This scenario
is very common to the way business

Distant Mental Influence of Hemolysis Rate
of course, “control” tests in which no subjects attempted to influence the
hemolysis process.
-
,
.
.
As anticipated, the “noise-reducing” improvements resulted m the vir-
tual elimination of the extreme variability seen in the pilot study and
yielded much greater stability (less degradation) of the blood samples. The
optimum salinity value for mimicking an anticipated psi-induced reduction
of hemolysis rate of approximately 1.0 standard deviation was found to be
in the vicinity of 0.429%-0.434% saline (equivalent to 50 5%-51.0% of
normal 0.85%
physiological
saline). Monte
Carlo
simulation
analyses
conducted on these salinity data indicated that on the basis of the magni-
tudes of hemolysis changes observed in these intermediate phase salinity
tests, the use of 2 versus 8 samples (tubes) distributed throughout equiva-
lent “psi effort” periods would provide adequate measurements for a dif-
ferential test of the IDS versus RA interpretations of any psi effects ob-
tained in the formal experiment.
Another purpose of these salinity tests was to assure that our spectro-
photometric method was actually assessing hemolysis
rather than other
possible artifactual time-changing processes that could be confused with
hemolysis. A number of tests were performed using identical procedures
but with normal 0.85% physiological saline rather than hypotonic saline.
No hemolysis should occur with such a solution, and any changes ob-
served could be attributed to
artifacts. As expected, hemolysis did not
occur in these normal
saline
tests; the photometric readings and curves
were completely stable throughout the sampling periods.
Overview of the Formal Experiment
On the basis of the findings of the preliminary study, the pilot study,
and the intermediate phase experiments, a final protocol for the formal
experiment was developed that included the following features:
Thirty-two subjects (from the same population and selected in the
same manner as in the pilot study) would each participate in one experi-
mental session. Hemolysis measurements would be made by the expen-
menter, W.G.B.
x
.
.
2.
Sixteen subjects would attempt
to influence
(protect)
their own
blood cells, and 16 would attempt to influence the cells of another person.
Both subject and experimenter would be blind regarding the source of t e
blood
until
all 32 sessions had been completed. This “own
_
versus
“other” factor was retained in the formal experiment because of the trend
toward different outcomes in those two conditions observed in the pilot
study

6-00788R002100260001-1 TARGET CUING INFORMATION REMOTE VIEWING (RV) SESSION CD-76 1. (S/NOFGRN) The remote viewer has been exposed to open source news media information as well as classified overhead imagery and numerous photo- graphs of hostage personnel. He knew he would be working against the hostage situation in Iran. 2. (S/NOFORN) At the time of this session the remote viewer was shown the attached photograph, and was asked to find Kathryn Koob. He was asked to identify Koob's location, identify any other US hostage personnel, and to describe physical security at this location.

apparatus room and the subject room are situated in separate suites of the same building, with
an

Interior corridors separate the rooms

were completely occluded during experimental trials.
to retrieve that envelope and open
it to find the random sequence of the
four 15-minute periods of the experiment. (The 32 period-sequence enve-
lopes had been prepared beforehand by M.S. using the RAND table of
random numbers and a private algorithm. Throughout the experiment, the
envelopes remained hidden from the experimenter. M.S. retained a copy
of the period sequences for the 32 envelopes.) During each of the two
15-minute control periods, the subject was to attempt to keep her or his
mind off of the experiment and to think of other matters; if she or he could
not help thinking about the experiment, the subject was asked to imagine
hemolysis proceeding
at
its normal, rapid rate. During each of two
15-
minute protect periods, the subject was to attempt to mentally retard the
rate of hemolysis of the red blood cells in the tubes for that period using
any of the mental strategies described on the instruction sheet. The experi-
menter demonstrated a slide projector that could be used by the subject
during the two protect periods. The 35 mm color slide depicted healthy,
intact red blood cells, and it was included as a helpful aid to the subject’s
visualization of the desired goal. The subject was told that the beginning
of each period would be signaled by an appropriate number of tones (one
for Period
1, two for Period 2, and so on) presented through headphones.
