Approved For Release 2qot/o3i07 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003200160001-9 II BACKGROUND (U) (U) Since 1972, SRI International has been investigating remote viewing (RV)--an apparent human ability to gain access, by mental means alone, to information that is secured by Shielding, distance, or time.'-5* At least three elements are necessary to conduct an RV experiment: (1) An individual, called a viewer, with an RV ability, (2) Specific target material (not available to the viewer at the time of the experiment), and (3) An analysis technique to determine the degree to which RV occurred. In a typical protocol, a viewer and a monitor-~an interviewer who is also unaware of the target material-~are sequestered at time Tg. At Tp + 5 minutes, an assistant selects the intended target by accessing a large pool of potential targets (e.g., a list of locations within a half-hour drive from the laboratory) using a random procedure. At Ty + 30 minutes, the assistant is positioned at the selected site and, back at the laboratory, the viewing begins. At Ty + 45 minutes, the viewing ends and the assistant returns to the laboratory. To provide feedback, the viewer, monitor, and the assistant, return to the selected site and review the RV data. (U) To determine if RV occurred, a number of similar experiments are conducted using a newly selected target for each trial. Usually, the trials are done with target replacement (i.e., each target is returned to the pool and may be selected again by the random process). Since 1972, many procedures have been developed to determine whether information has been obtained beyond chance expectation.6-8 In the current method,® the targets and responses are described as fuzzy sets of descriptor elements (e.g., water is present). An RV figure of merit is related to the normalized intersection of the target set and the response set. {v) | i ._ When RV is applied procedures vary considerably. In laboratory experiments, much is known “® the analysis — applications very little target Le information is known. Thus, the analysis technique must be modified in about the target, but in [ *(U) References may be found at the end of this report. 2 Approved For Release 7601103107 :-CIA-RDP96-00789R003200160001 -9

SRI’s activity occurred over a 24-hour period beginning at 0800 on May 7, 1987. a Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003200160001-9 -
Approved For Release 2041/03/07 : cts P96-00789R003200160001-9 III METHOD OF APPROACH (U) (U) SRI conducted a 27-hour RV experiment beginning at 0800 on May 7, 1987. The viewer provided data in four different work periods spaced at 8-hour intervals. The details of the experiment are described below. A. —_(U) Selection of a Remote Viewer | srz selected Viewer V372 to participate in this experiment because of his/her 10-year experience as a viewer. In 1979, V372 was calibrated at SRI as part of a "technology" transfer investigation and found to possess an RV ability. Since then, V372 has participated in approximately 300 | — RVs. Since SRI does not have access to most of those data, we conducted a second calibration series, as part of another program, during FY 1986. In the 1986 calibration series, the target material was Isites within a half-hour drive from SRI. A protocol was used that was similar to the one described above, and a total of 12 RV sessions were conducted over two weeks. Remote viewing results of the series were found to be statistically significant and Figure 1 shows one of the three most successful sessions. It is beyond the scope of this report to describe this calibration series in detail, but the two-other successful responses were of the same quality as shown in Figure 1. B. (U) Target Material i + The primary target was the ATA facility, | In particular, the accelerator itself was targeted during operation with an external beam. 4 Approved For Release 2401/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003200160001-9

We have designated a wind-power electric generator farm at Altamont Pass but adjacent top - Isa secondary target, and the sas Pqain complex, which is farther away geographically but is functionally associated with q as a tertiary target. I abe. _ Maa, pons tenga X Grae The intent of this RV experiment was to obtain as much information as possible about the target environment in general and ATA external beam operation in particular. C. (U) Experiment Protocol \: Viewer 372 and a viewing monitor were aware that the target material was of \ significance and was located within the greater San Francisco Bay area. They were told that an individual | id - : , ___ ee Bde scribed by name and Social Security numberg was in the target area during the viewing sessions, and that two members of the SRI staff: (known to V372 and the monitor) would serve as a "beacon" and would be at the specific target of interest between 2200 hours on May 7 and 0800 hours on May 8, 1987. (The purpose of the "beacon" person is to define the target area. Our past experience has shown that viewers rarely describe the experiences of the "beacon.") Other than this, all aspects and details of the experiment were withheld from V372 and the monitor. i The San Francisco Bay Area is rich in target possibilities. For example, there are many aerospace companies, semiconductor manufacturing facilities, particle accelerators (e.g., Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory complex, Stanford Linear Accelerator), radar installations, military air fields, and Naval bases. Thus jt was ,felt _ 4 @ ascal that to have the viewer know that the target was of gf interest and was in the greater Bay Area would not compromise the experiment. f, > Four sessions were conducted to provide information at approximately 8-hour intervals during May 7, 1987. The time and circumstances are as follows: (1) 0800 May 7--V372 was asked to describe the geographical area, and the gestalt of the area of interest.

At this time, the representative was sleeping (approximately 2 miles from(. -.,after having been awake the entire previous night. Het»p% Lococt( on (2) 1010 May 7--V372 was asked to describe details and activity at the site designated by the sponsor’ s on-site representative as of 0000 hours May 7 (the previous night). (3) 1600 May 7--V372 was asked to describe details and activity in real time at the site designated by the sponsor’s on-site representative. At this time, this individual was eating dinner (approximately 2 miles from Hie. pops Qoeecti on (4) 2400 May 7--V372 was asked to describe details and activity at the site designated by two SRI personnel in real time. \ During each session, V372’s responses were tape recorded and he/she was encouraged to draw details whenever possible. Drawings are contained in Appendix A, and Appendix B contains verbatim transcripts of the last two sessions and portions of the first two. (Because of technical difficulties, most of the taped record of the first two viewings was lost. Since the remaining data are intact and since the drawings from the first two viewings are complete, this gap is not Significant.) D. (U) Analysis Technique A YAs discussed in Section II, quantitative analysis ‘ ‘ poses problems. Any analysis of remote viewing data must be accomplished within the context of a mission statement. A system that is designed to demonstrate remote viewing is inadequate to enable an t | ———o allows for a defined a priori mission statement has been developed under _. assessment and vice versa.

(U) Definitions % - \The most important aspect of any RV data analysis is the definition of the target and the RV response.

It’s really interesting because I, I see the tube there but then sometimes I don’t see the tube. I see it operating in an aeroplace space and then I sometimes see it operating in air which is real interesting. What happens when it operates in air is the air molecules actually burn up. It super heats the air molecules, they actually self-destruct or excite themselves out of the way or something. “ \ Um-hum. And, and I get the feeling that I, you can actually see it with your eyes. This ray, when this thing comes out in air molecules. It’s like it doesn’t shoot out of the end in a race along to the target it’s like the whole thing past the ray slowly comes in the beam. It’s like it appears, you know, this entire length of it here appears like its super heating the air molecules that it’s going through to the point that they actually white-out in some way. ( ) Um-hum. C ; And down on the other end is the target and, uh, I’m trying to determine what that target thing is. I’m gonna do a better picture on page two. ' \ OK. I see this in a vacuum sometimes, and I see it also going tnrough specialized gases like, like they’re testing to see its penetration power through different gaseous mixtures ah different mixtures of oxygen or atmosphere or something. And, uh, I also get, I get the feeling like the target’s hard - it, it’s like of a hard target. And, and, by that I mean like metal - it’s a metallic target, uh, varying degrees of thickness, shielding, and, uh, parts of the target being tested are covered with solid state electronics, chip electronics, uh, it’s like pointing it at your home computers to see if you could burn your home computer up and then putting your home computer at a varying or differing modalities of shielding to see what effect it has on its capacity to operate. Um, I, I get the feeling like this is really, this thing is really hazardous to human life. *) um. =~ e ijt mean I wouldn’t stand in front of this sucker. This is, this is really I mean, it will really damage a hard target, but it ain’t nothing like it will do to the human body, I mean, it will just cook, it will just vaporize the human body so to speak.

In the hard target there‘s a twofold fall out from this, one is, you find out can a hard target be destroyed, or at least made dysfunctional, but b, you find out can you build a hard target that can’t be dysfunctional, made dysfunctional.

Uh, I think microwave is, uh, the problem with microwave is there is no way to generate a coherent microwave front but then I might be wrong about that. But I think this is a different kind of wave. This is really a coherent wave. And the key here in part C of the problem is these little metallic rods or wires or whatever use this bundle of stuff is - that’s the key to it.

As much as, I mean, we’re talking a really complex thing that probably took years and years and years and years to build, but it’s only a test vehicle for the reality of the concept. The real concept is ten fold removed in terms of complexity or difficulty from this. It all has to do with timing. Because in the real concept what’s happening in A, this little bitty fire here, we’re talking about increasing that on a magnitude of 10-12 which is really up there, which means that there isn’t a container that’s gonna hold it, and I don’t know how they’re gonna do that which is real interesting.

Things that you don’t normally have to worry about with light, photon-type activity. You know on a standard a laser outside the fact that the laser gets really weak over distance. Well, this will get weak over distance unless it’s in a vacuum. If you’re in a vacuum like in space or near vacuum, like space, then the distance on this is really great in terms of power.

And, and, I keep getting an impression of a place even further in the desert, OK, and what’s interesting about it is is surrounded with, uh, hundreds of like individual, uh, storage bunkers, like everywhere. I think, I think what we’re talking about here is, uh, uh, let’s see, I’m having trouble defining between demonstration of this device and, and a real, well they’re both real, but one was done beforehand, and one is being done now. And the one that was done beforehand was actually a device. It was really a, a, and I keep saying device, I’m talking what I’m talking about is a bomb. It was actually used in a demonstration type of effect and, uh, it was like two ended, it was double ended. It had one end was, was an actual bomb that produced, that produces or produced an output that initiated a second bomb. It produced an output that initiated this ray, if you will, but it was all done, uh, like in an underground test. And then they had films of this and they showed the outputs of this and they’re going into a live demonstration using this laser to initiate very much the same kind of outputs only on a much smaller scale, so, uh, we’re essentially talking about two kinds of devices doing the same thing, one on a large order of magnitude, one on a small order of magnitude.

And what happens is this thing goes off and its fastened to a little short piece of tubing that is very much like a wave guide and what it does is it focuses, um, this is, uh, focus for, focus for, it’s the first thing I’m trying, what’s the first thing that happens from like a thermonuclear device like a thermonuclear cevice, it’s not even a thermonuclear it’s a nuclear device. The first thing that happens is there’s a huge output of neutrons and it goes into a second device and the second device is a, uh, thermo target. And then this ignites, OK. And that becomes like a thermonuclear type of device and that goes off and then fastened to the end of this is this cluster of these, those rods, whatever you want to call them. Little lasing type things. ‘2 ) Um-hum. b Ar: ikand they produce a massive output as they’re enveloped. asing rods produce like that. This output. And this goes down a, uh, this whole thing takes place in a chamber under ground and this goes down a tunnel and at the other end of this tunnel you’re down let’s say it’s a, this is ground level. And you get down here in this chamber where they do this and it shoots down this tunnel a few thousand feet. Meanwhile, this thing’s expanding over here - it’s actually exploding, but it happens so fast, uh, this explodes but before this destroys this, it ignites it, with this massive focus of neutrons. When this ignites it lases these which produces the output of, uh, gamma rays or whatever they are. As that’s being enveloped these rays are racing down this tunnel which has blocks in it. And right behind these rays going down the tunnel, these blocks are closing. And down here at the end is a chamber of targets so also there’s sensing equipment down here so there’s a secondary tunnel down here. And, uh, sensing equipment we’ll say sensing. This is the actual, uh, this is the actual detonation place. So this is all destroyed here, but it sends radiation down this tunnel and behind this radiation which is all very, I mean, everything’s all instantaneous almost speed of light and this always happens, these shafts close down behind it to minimize damage to the target area. So the only thing arrives down at the target area are the rays from this thing which then shadow the target, and, and, this is, this is, uh, essentially we*ll call this Demo One.

The problem I’m having with this is I’n, there’s a big element that’s missing and it’s where it’s missing is connecting this machine to this machine.

Vv: - And, and, the essential step is that it strips, as electrons are forced outwards in this sphere, they are collected in this trough that accelerates them in a circle and what it essentially does it forces them around, uh, in 4, in a magnetic, electromagnetic field. And the electromagnetic field, uh, because it, it kicks them into a tighter concentric circle, accelerates them. So when they exit the end, these electrons are not only, uh, at a very high energy anyway because of the amount of that, they, they’re really moving, uh, and then coming out of the end of this thing they strike these tubes in some way. It really fires these tubes up. They’re like pumped across these tubes, uh, I’m having a lot of trouble drawing how that’s done. M: i ‘S Um-hum, um-hum.

So that there’s a, there’s, instead of a, a sporadic output there’s a very coherent cascaded built up, uh, driven kind of output coming from these tubes and, uh, it doesn’t last long, it lasts for a few seconds. And I was thinking about the, uh, the wave front and I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that, uh, that these things are absolutely in a very short wave area. They are either gamma rays or they’re X-rays, like an X-ray laser or something like that. Really potent stuff. C. ~\ um-hum. Uh, operating in the, uh, in a real short wave front area.

So what we’re essentially looking at is we’re looking at a device that’s launchable. In other words, when, when we determine that the Soviets have launched say & group of ICBM’s, then we would fire this sucker into space it would seek out the ICBM wall and eliminate it.

Uh, I don’t know how to explain that but I think that’s the extra laser that I’m seeing. It’s actually a computer that’s light operated. In other words, it operates on photons instead of hard circuits, electromagnetic circuits, so it’s literally impervious to the EMP or EPI or whatever they call it...electromagnetic interference from atomic blasts.

In other words, the way they orbit and everything it’s all predictable. It’s all been predicted. So they strip off the maximum number of neutrons and accelerate them down to these lasing metallic alloy rods or whatever they are and there’s, it’s not a donut wrapped around this thing but it’s a special shape. It’s like, uh, it’s designed to capture where the neutrons will be which is really interesting. It’s, it’s like there’s, you would look at it and say "that’s really weird the way they did that."

And what’s neat about it is the only side effect is the thermonuclear device going off in the atmosphere, you know, above the atmosphere in space, so you would have a probably a real severe EPI problem or EMP problem or whatever you call it that would last for a few minutes actually a little more than a few minutes, but the result is that everything manmade above the atmosphere would cease to function. It would literally be blown to pieces. Real overkill for eliminating just a few hundred ICBMs or whatever.

The object used for the experiment was the wreck of a Spanish galleon, Nuestra Senora de Atocha, which sank during a hurricane in 1622. The wreckage was found off the coast of Key West, Florida, on 20 July, 1985. It was selected as the target for this experiment because, although its location was already known, the considerable wealth it contained and its fascinating historical background made it something that would have been worth searching for. The purpose of this task was to simulate a situation in which the searchers would be excited about finding the target because of its value. Of course the experiment was designed in such a way that knowing the actual location of the wreckage would not help the searchers succeed in the experiment. 1. (U) Preliminary Activities (VU) Tb create a high level of interest in the experiment, SRI personnel visited Florida and conducted two preliminary activities. First, they accompanied Viewer 198 to the Atocha museum and discussed the experiment and the Atocha history in detail with him/her. Later, before beginning the experimental trials, Viewer 198 showed a National Geographic videotape of the search for the Atocha to the other four participants. (U) The second preliminary activity was to conduct a few real-world search trials with Viewer 198, for a less important, but known, Spanish galleon wreck, the San Pedro. For these trials the location of the San Pedro wreck was marked ona map. Three white paper disks, scaled to correspond to 5,000 yards in diameter (6.34 square miles), were randomly keyed to the map and marked with a secret orientation code so that the experimenter could Jater rematch them to the map. The actual map location of the San Pedro was constrained to be somewhere on each of the three disks. (U) To add to the excitement of the task, the data were collected while Viewer 198 and the SRI personnel were in a vessel anchored directly above the wreck. Viewer 198 was given the three disks and asked to mark on each of them the spot where he/she felt the wreck and thus his/her current location were. We had hoped that “searching” for yourself as a beacon would contribute to the success of the trial. (U) Each disk was rematched to the map and the center of gravity (CG) for the three responses was calculated. Viewer 198's CG corresponded to a spot 500 yards from the wreck.

(U) Encouraged by this demonstration trial, we proceeded with the search for the Atocha. 2. (U) Experimental Details (U) The five participants in the Atocha experiment conducted their searches in group meetings at one participant’s home. During each weekly meeting, each subject attempted five guesses. These were recorded by filling in a square on a piece of paper containing a 20 x 20 grid similar to that shown in Figure 1. These responses were then mailed to SRI International for evaluation. Previous to the time of the meeting, an experimenter at SRI had generated a target square for each participant, for each of the trials. This was done using a computer randomization schemie to select one of the 400 squares in the grid. To simulate real conditions as much as possible, the grid was placed on a map of the Key West area with the target square centered on the spot where the Atocha had been found. Thus, each week there were five'such grids, ordered numerically by trial number, for each participant. If the participant filled in the correct square on a given response grid, then when the grid used for that trial was placed on the map, ithe response would be directly over the spot where the Atocha was found. (U) The experiment was initially scheduled to run for five weeks, with each participant contributing a total of 25 trials. However, at the end of that period the participants | submitted and were granted a request to repeat the experiment, so the entire experiment consists of two sets of 25 trials for each subject. Cc. (U) Analysis | (U) In both the CAS and the Atocha experiments, the basic unit of data for analysis consisted of sets of 25 target/response pairs. Within each pair, the data recorded were the coordinates of the target and the response from their locations on the 20 x 20 grid. In the CAS experiment, each of the eight subjects contributed one such set in the time condition and one in the space condition. For the Atocha experiment, each of the five subjects contributed two sets, one during each of the two five-week periods in the experiment. —_ d ; the question of interest is Whether or not the information provided by the participant A H 1 : Approved For Release anus Cu RDPSSpTeRoOSzOOISOONTS

This is equivalent to reducing the area over which it is necessary to search before the target is located. (U) Assume that in the absence of any information, a search would proceed by randomly selecting a square on the grid and searching that square. If the target is not found, then the squares closest to the original one are searched, in random order. This continues, by progressively moving away from the original square, until the target is found. At each stage, the set of squares equidistant from the original one, which have not yet been searched, are selected in random order and searched. (U) To analyze the success of these experiments, the average time required to find the target using this procedure with the subject’s guess as the starting point should be compared to the average time required using a random starting point. (U) The number of squares that must be searched could range anywhere from one (if the target is in the original starting square), to the total number of squares, which is 400 for our experiments. In the absence of any information, and assuming that the target is equally likely to be anywhere in the grid, the probability that exactly s squares must be searched is 1/400, for any integer value of s from one to 400. In other words, s follows what is called a “discrete uniform distribution.” It is as likely that all 400 squares will have to be searched as it is that the target will be found in the first square. This result is independent of the starting square. (U) The item of interest from each trial is the number of squares that would have to be searched to find the target. To compute this, we first find the straight line distance from the response to the target using the formula: d= (Y,- ¥,)? + (X,- X,)*, where (X,, Y; ) and (Xz, Yz2 ) are the coordinates of the target and the response, respectively. (U) Next, we count the number of squares that are closer to the response than is the actual target, since all of those would have to be searched before the target would be found. Finally, we add to the count half of the number of squares that are exactly d units from the response, since on the average half of the squares at that distance would have to be searched Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP94-00789R003200160001-9. | / }

The first of these involved a well-calibrated viewer (Subject ai used natural Bay Area sites as targets. Ten real-time and ten precognitive trials (counterbalanced) yielded no statistical evidence for remote viewing. In the second experiment, four viewers contributed approximately 30 trials each in a similar counterbalanced real-time vs. precognition protocol. In this experiment, however, the target material were photographs from a national magazine. No statistical evidence for remote viewing was observed in this experiment. Ina third experiment designed to explore the role of feedback upon remote viewing quality, two of four viewers produced independently significant evidence for remote viewing. A number of speculations are offered as to possible mechanisms including real-time data acquisition and global precognition with noise reduction.

Approved For Release a : tia eneceaaaaeaaiaaai I INTRODUCTION (U) ( Since 1973, remote viewing (RV) has been observed under a wide variety of different conditions. A few of many possible examples are coordinate RV* (targeting by geographical coordinates) ,' beacon RV (known person at the remote Site) ,2 abstract targeting (targeting by the word "target" or by a random number or binary number) ,? and targeting by remote tasking, in which the task is sealed in an envelope which is geographically isolated from the viewer. To first order, all of these (and more) have been demonstrated successfully in _ laboratory , \ Y. conditions. ua oe _ nee { "| The main difficulty in trying to understand the various Successes of RV from a fundamental point of view is that RV appears to require a large number of basic theories to explain the variety of observables. How is it possible to describe access to remote information with a single unifying concept when the target has been specified by a complex series of random events, separated in time and space, and these events are completely unknown to the viewer? This problem has been one of the main sources of criticism about the existence of RV, in that nothing else in nature appears to have such properties. (It is beyond the scope of this report to argue this point. It suffices to say that most of the Breat advances in science contributed to the organization and understanding of seemingly unrelated data. The ultraviolet catastrophe and early atomic spectra are but two examples of the confusion prior to the understanding provided by early quantum theory. ) (U) SRI has been developing a heuristic model of psychoenergetic functioning‘ that has the potential of providing some understanding of the RV confusion described above. It is based upon a concept called precognition. Since the 1930s, the parapsychology literature has been reporting experiments that claim to demonstrate the existence of precognition——remote viewing of target material that had not been specified at the time of the viewing. As yet, there is not a meta-analysis of this literature, but there is a review of the experimental support for * (U) References may be found at the end of this report.

(U) Real-Time vs. Precognition Experiment (U) During FY 1987, SRI conducted two experiments to examine the effects of target generation time in RV data acquisition. The first of these was with a selected viewer using natural locations within 30 minutes driving time from SRI as target material. In the other experiment, four experienced viewers used photographs from the National Geographic Magazine as target material. In both experiments the time of target generation (before or after the RV session) was unknown to either viewers or monitors. 1 (WU) The Beacon RV Series (U) To examine the role of target generation upon out~bound RV experiments, SRI asked an experienced viewer (Viewer 372) to participate in a 20-trial series. Viewer 372 has been calibrated in this particular task in that he/she has demonstrated significant RV performance in all (2) of the beacon experiments conducted at SRI.''.'2 Furthermore, Viewer 372 has expressed strong preference for this type of experiment rather than those that use . photographs as targets. oe The target material consisted of 66 natural outdoor locations within a half-hour’s drive of SRI. The sites were selected on the basis of the past performance of Viewer 372. Thus, the target selection criteria allowed sites that would be more difficult for novice viewers. The intent was to produce a target pool with a variety of different material. For Viewer 372, the variety could be architectural (and other details) as well as general gestalt features. a. (U) Protocol (U) The viewer and the monitor were blind to both the target pool and the individual target selections. At the beginning of each trial, the viewer and monitor were sequestered in the RV laboratory. The assistant then selected the target generation time and, if appropriate, the target site. The target selection time for each trial was determined according to 4 Approved For Release mae cil oneness

A more realistic estimate is provided by a minimum p-value (3.5 x 10-8) technique which yields 1.4 x 10-4.1® The important point, however, is that this experiment produced strong evidence for an informational anomaly. i Figures 3 and 4 show RV quality (1 is low, 7 is high) plotted against intensity of the feedback for Viewers 009 and 177, respectively. Shown also is the regression line for each viewer, These figures are to be compared to Figure 2, the idealized expectations. The result that is easiest to understand in Figure 2 is the positive correlation showing increased RV performance with increased feedback intensity. We did not observe any such correlation with either of the significant viewers. In fact, the linear correlation coefficients were not Significant. ° (TF the lack of positive correlation in the light of significant evidence of RV complicates the interpretation considerably. The most obvious conclusion is that the viewers obtained their data in real time and not from the later feedback. But, if the argument posited in Section I is correct (that precognition is unfalsifiable), then the experiment was doomed to failure from the start. Another equally likely hypothesis is that the underlying assumption that cognitive awareness constitutes feedback information is incorrect. If this were true, we would expect to see no correlation with intensity even if the precognition model were correct. ——m i Viewer 177°s average sum of ranks was significantly (p < 0.02) greater than his/her sum of ranks in the real-time vs. precognition experiment. Viewer 009 produced a strong and similar trend that obtained a probability against chance of 0.08. Assuming these differences are meaningful, we can speculate that something in the tachistoscope experiment resulted in a significant noise reduction. Possibly, short exposures to feedback material allow the viewer to focus only upon the major items and thus reduce the noise--the precognition model is assumed here. In any event, continuing this experiment would shed light on the difficult feedback interpretation problem. 13 Approved For Release 2001/0 : CIA-RDP96-90789R003200160001-9

A simple numerical counting procedure is then used to estimate the likelihood that the judge's transcript/target-matches are by chance alone.” This early technique contained little systematic structure for determining the final order of matches. { The first step toward systematizing the rank order judging ~ procedure was to preprocess the raw data in the transcript by ‘concep- tualizing" both the verbal and the pictorial responses. Conceptualizing a transcript: requires an analyst to paraphrase the transcript into a list of coherent statements. This concept list is then compared and scored concept-by-concept to each of the targets in the experiment. The resulting scores are ‘averaged for each response, and all responses are rank-ordered on the basis of these scores.” This improved analysis procedure was applied to a number of experiments within the Technology Transfer Task —_ 4 (U) The problem with the above technique is that there are no guide- lines as to how the analyst should paraphrase the transcript; furthermore, the method in which the concepts are to be assessed against the targets remains undefined. The purpose of the Evaluation Task in FY 1982 was to identify a procedure that corrected these deficiencies. Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003200160001-9

Finally, the task coordinator provided Tables A-1 through A-4 as target element relevance scales for the four targets in Figures A-5 through A-8. This completes the information that was given to the analyst, and thus the analysis was carried out blind as to the matching target/ transcript pairs.

The data are restricted to foreign work and are derived from a comprehensive survey of eight major parapsychological journals, spanning a period from 1972 until the present. Two hundred and thirty- three articles were evaluated and computerized in a Data Base Management System (DBMS) according to six major topics or keywords and 16 subtopics that were chosen specifically to reflect those areas considered to be of principal interest The six principal topic headings may be understood in general terms according to the fol- lowing set of definitions: e Remote Sensing: The acquisition and description, by mental means, of information blocked from ordinary perception by dis- tance or shielding, and generally believed to be secure against such access.” e Remote Action: The production of physical perturbation of instrumentation or equipment that appears to be well shielded against, or otherwise inaccessible to, human effects, such as the influence.* ° Reliability/Screening: Spans a wide range of prescriptive, methodological experiments or experimental protocols; also in- cludes studies: involved in the identification of correlates (e.g-., physiological, psychological, and so forth) that may en- hance psychoenergetic functioning and/or facilitate the selection of talented subjects. e Theoretical Models: Various paradigms and plausibility arguments, which have been advanced within physics and other disciplines that endeavor to explain observed phenomena. e Healing: The ability of an agent to cure illness or to influence positively the physical state of a biological system.

(U) Table 1 provides a summary listing of the Free-World countries (and their respective research facilities) that have published articles in the open literature for a given topic. This table should be examined with the attendant caveats that (1) no evaluation of the quality of any published research was undertaken for the purposes of this study and (2) a given article may have been counted more than once if it had been determined that its principal research objectives encompassed more than one major topic. (U) By way of summation, the following observations may be derived from a general analysis of Table 1, and by further utilizing the sub- keyword capabilities of the DBMS: e England and The Netherlands published equivalent numbers of articles on the topic of "remote sensing," followed by West Germany. The following represents a distribution of articles according to remote sensing subtopics (Table 2). e The Netherlands, West Germany, and Scotland, respectively, are indicated as performing the majority of the research in "remote action." The distribution of interest with regard to the sub- topics within this major category is as follows (Table 3). e The Netherlands, England, and Scotland, respectively, represent the primary investigators of techniques both for enhancing the reliability of psychoenergetic functioning and/or for identifying talented subjects. Within the major category of reliability ard screening, the published articles for these three countries may be further subdivided into the following distribution of specific subtopics (Table 4). e West Germany and England, followed by The Netherlands and Scotland, respectively, have advanced the greatest number of published theories and models. These may be further delineated according to the following subtopics (Table 5). Very little work has been published on "healing" in this par- ticular selection of journals; this is not to conclude that this kind of research categorically is not occurring, but that it may be published elsewhere in a different genre of periodical.

The reason for this criterion, of | course, is that American Parapsychologists publish in foreign journals, and foreign parapsychologists publish in American journals; an accurate assessment of foreign work, therefore, cannot be obtained by simply sur- veying the foreign journals. The advantage of this procedure is that, for this study, U.S. publications could be reliably excluded from the data base. The disadvantage was that valid foreign research was also rejected from the data base--if the facility at which the research was performed was not listed in the article. B.

Keyword System Application (U) For the purposes of this study, the articles were sorted ac- cording to (1) the six major keyword headings, only, for the presenta- tion of data pertaining to all countries (cf, Section 3, "Data" below); and (2) further subtopic classifications for a chosen subset of the Free-World countries (cf, Section I, ative definitions for the major keywords and their "Introduction" above). Table 6 provides the oper respective subtopics. ‘ ' In addition to query capability on subtopics within a given —~_v . major topic, combinations of major and subtopic keywords may be utilized across topics to satisfy relatively specific query requirements. For example, a keyword combination of "Remote Action," "Micro," "Reliability/ Screening," and "Physiological Correlates" would typically select out articles from the data base that dealt with experiments in random-number generator psychokinesis, during which aspects of the subject's physio- logical state (e.g., galvanic skin response) were monitored.

In conclusion, there are three principal advantages to the current design of the keywording system in particular, and the DBMS in general, in that they allow (1) continual expansion of data and modes of (2) "horizontal" surveying capability across, for and (3) "vertical"! in-depth surveying data classification; example, many countries or topics; capability through increasingly finer topic discriminators s« Approved For “y 2001/03/079 eeiees ies -9 a

(U) From the FM analysis performed for our FY 1984 experiment, we determined that by computing the p-value for each FM we could determine an average p for each viewer and for all sessions combined. The overall probability of obtaining that average p- -value was then calculated, either by an exact method for small numbers of sessions’ or by using the central limit theorem for gremer than 20 sessions.? In the current analysis, an additional test of significance, the Fisher Chi-square technique,® has been added to supplement the probability associated with average p-value for a given series. frthe overall p-values given for each viewer’s series as shown in anes Tables 1 through 4 were calculated using the Fisher Chi-square technique. Averaging all p-values for all sessions yielded p(avg.) = 0.3437. Using the central-limit theorem, the probability associated with that average value is p <0.004. Using the Fisher Chi-square method, a p-value of < 0.0036 was calculated for all 24 sessions, indicating good agreement between techniques. We observed that three out of the four viewers independently produced significant results. Such an outcome is an extremely rare event. If the probability of success is p < 0.05, the binomial probability of obtaining three out of four successful results is p < 0.00048. These individual and overall remote viewing results are substantially better than were achieved in the FY 1984 study. 12 Approved For Release an Gani 789R003200160001-9 .

Basic Program Structure (U) f ' In this report we present results and assessments of a one-year program for the optimization of remote viewing with\ a pselected individuals. The objective of this program was to familiarize these individuals with the SRI remote viewing protocols, to produce enhanced levels of ability, and to establish screening tests and procedures for enlarging the population from which such individuals are selected. (U) For the past seven years SRI International has been investigating a human perceptual /processing ability called remote viewing (RV). This is the subject matter of the current study, and it pertains to the acquisition and description, by mental means, of information blocked from ordinary perception by distance or shielding and generally considered to be secure from such access. |: At the start of this program, six individuals were choserf - C | Ol to participate in an RV technology transfer. With the exception of one of the six who had participated in an ESP study several years earlier, these participants when selected were inexperienced with regard to paranormal perception in general, and RV in particular. A variety of different training protocols were examined with the goal of helping the participants familiarize themselves with the SRI RV techniques. Formal assessment and transfer series were carried out with each of the six participants, in which they were asked to use mental imagery processes to describe distant geographic locations (bridges, roads, buildings, etc.), hidden 35-mm slides of similar sites, and objects placed in a controlled- access location. Several other information series were carried out. These are all described in later sections of this report. . 2 { a Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96,00789R003200160001-9
