The following analysis
is short summary of
"lessons
learned"
from our remote viewing efforts during
the
reporting
peri od
:
a.
( S/SK/WN INTEL )
An
analysis
of
some forty sessions
conducted
by five remote
viewers operating
in
an
independent
solo
mode without
the assistance
or presence
of
a facilitator against
Pearl
Harbor
as
a
target,
revealed unique
and valuable
insights
towards
improving the effectiveness
of
our
remote
viewing
procedures.
The
length of
the
"solo sessions" were
shorter
than
normal
and
lasted
an average
of thirty to forty minutes.
Sessions normally last fifty to sixty minutes.
A greater number
of shorter
sessions
in
a solo mode
were required
to cover
a
conventional
type
target
of
interest.
Viewers
were
very
uncannily conscious
of
the dangers
of
overlay,
even
when they
appeared
to
be completely on target.
Results appeared highly
accurate
when keyed
to specific
queries;
the
information became
increasing
less
reliable
as
the
viewers
e
aborated
on
or exceeded
the parameters
of
the basic
query/requ i r ement
.
b.
< S/SK/WNINTEL )
In
the
area
of
"search",
Written Remote
Viewing
(WRV)
was
successful
in
two separate
instances
in
correctly identifying
the pending destination
of vessels
suspected
of carrying
illegal
drugs.
It should
be noted that
when amplifying data was requested,
the accuracy
of
the
(nice-to-
know)
information became
wanting.
Examples
of essential
queries
are:
"Is
the
vessel
carrying narcotics
in
the form of
contraband?
Where
will
it unload
the contraband?
When?
How
is
the contraband recognizable from the
rest
of
the
cargo?
c.
(S/SK/WNINTEL)
The SUN STREAK effort against
the
US
hostages
in Lebanon cannot
be fully evaluated
until
the
release
and debriefing
of one
or more
of
the hostages
occur.
The
results
of
the
viewing against
the hostage situation
to date
has remained
substantially consistent.
The anticipated,
predicted,
dates
of
release
were
and continue
to be
skewed.
Initial
date
of release
was projected as occurring
in
June;
last
predictions
indicated
the period
of
to
29 October
for
the
release
of
LTC Higgins
with
other hostages
to follow successively within
a forty-five
day
period.
Efforts
to date
indicate
that
LTC Higgins remains
a
prime candidate
for early release
whereas Terry Waite
and Terry
Anderson
are apparently scheduled
to
be
released
last.

The conduct
of
"topical
searches”
will
continue
on
an
intermittent
basis
to determine pertinency,
accuracy,
and marketability within
the community.
Of
all
the
issues
be i ng confronted by SUN STREAK,
the
topical
search remains
the
most difficult
and precocious
to analyze
in
terms
of
consistency,
reliability and
value.
