the west,
possibly
a river over
to
the
far east,
to
the south more city.
This report, while general and fitting many locations
in that general area,
seemed
to have some correspondence.
The next morning Swann submitted
a written report
of
a second reading.
(No mention is made of exactly when this "reading" was made,
but
the report
appears
to have been written 0735-0758 PDT
that morning.
There
is no
^
statement
of any request
that generated
this second reading
or
a written
report.)
The written report mentions
a circular building,
and asks
if
it
is
a former Nike base.
It also mentions
the impression of something under-
ground.
Two days
later,
the coordinates were given to Pat Price
(then held
anonymous)
for "a backup
test."
The coordinates were telephone
to Price
on
1 June
1973,
and Price’s written response,
dated
2 June
1973,
was received
|
in
the mail
4 June
1973.
The written response describes
the mountain chain,
roadways,
vegetation,
distant
city and Civil War battleground, weather conditions,
etc.
Of
greatest interest
is his detailed description of
a large underground storage
area and
its contents
of file cabinets,
room! sizes and lighting, personnel
names,
elevators,
etc.
He also "read"
the enscription on
a marble colonnade
dedicated
to
the fallen soldiers
of
the battle of Lynchburg.
On a later date,
Price was asked
to return to the Virginia site with
the goal of obtaining codeword information.
He then provided several
^
codewords presumably under lock
in the files,
along with personnel names.
These were subsequently verified as having "$ome" validity.

Price also volunteered
to scan the other side of the globe for an
equivalent Soviet Bloc
site,
and "found" one in the Urals.
He then
described
the
terrain,
vegetation,
concrete underground site,
personnel,
helipads,
rail tracks,
and radar installations.
Apparently Swann was not requested
to scan this
target,
although the
coordinates were "provided"
by Price.
It should be noted
that Swann was
in
residence
at
SRI at this
time
(Table

The coordinates
of
this
target were given by
a scientist
(unnamed)
challenging the
SRI work.
Puthoff gave Swann the coordinates.
No maps
were permitted,
and Swann's immediate response was recorded on video
tape.
Response indicated an island, which was confirmed by experimenter.
[Thus,
experimenter knew nature
of target prior
to subject's response.]
Buildings,
radar antenna,
cylindrical tanks,
trucks, wind are mentioned.
Then Swann terminates response and submits sketch of area containing those
elements
(Figure
2)
.
The following day
a second reading without maps was obtained.
At
this
time,
he gave considerable detail regarding
the shape of
the
island,
rocks
beach,
vegetation, maybe
a lighthouse.
A detailed sketch of
the island
(Figure
3)
was also made.

conditions.
The experimenters did not know anything about the nature
of
the
target except
that
it was
a test
facility.
They then provided
the coordinates
to
(Price)
, who provided sketches
of both a building layout and
a gantry
crane.
The response was judged by the sponsor
to be
of sufficiently good quality
to progress through verifiable physical data of
the client
(Phase
II)
and
the generation of nonverif iable data
(Phase
III)
.
Reports and evaluations ^
by
the sponsor indicate substantial validity of
the Phase
II results.

the coordinates
to the
experimenters,
the relaying of
the coordinates
to

This and
the subsequent targets
in this section on remote viewing by
geographical coordinates were conducted "to evaluate the applications
feasibility."
(Puthoff,
Targ,
and May,
1977)
£
Targ
(who previously worked at Sylvania in Mt.
View)
chose
the target
and gave
the geographical coordinates
to Puthoff.
Puthoff then served
as
the experimenter with subject

(probably Swann)
to obtain a description,
sketch,
and clay model of
the
target.
"As
is
the usual procedure,
the
experimenter with

The subject's description was very good.
