The mission
of the SUN STREAK Prototype
Operational
Group
(POG)
remained dedicated
to the application
of
the psychoenerget i c process
of Remote Viewing
(RV)
as
a potential
tool
of probative
intelligence value
to
the Department
of Defense
and other
intelligence community agencies.
Attached
is the
SUN
STREAK Activities Report
(SAR)
for CY
1986.
The SAR documents
the results
of
the three principle activities
of
the POG during
CY
1986:
Operations,
Utility Assessments,
and Training.
2.
(S/SK/WNINTEL)
The POG
is comprised of professional
intelligence officers whose primary concern
is
the achievement
of
operational
results
that
are
of intelligence
value.
Because SUN
STREAK
is
not engaged
in
a venture
into pure science,
but
rather
one
of utility,
results
are
judged
on their value to the
intelligence
community.
Through the application
of disciplined
procedures and strict controlled conditions
the results reported
in
the
1986
SAR are both credible and enlightening.
The attached
SAR,
when viewed
in conjunction
with
a body of wisdom accumulated
over previous years,
clearly illustrates SUN STREAK's
demonstrated potential
value
to the intelligence consumer.

SUN STREAK ANNUAL ACTIVITIES REPORT
1986
1.
(S/SK/WNINTEL)
SUN STREAK activities
include operational
intelligence collection,
training,
and
the assessment
of
intelligence utility of remote viewing information.
Operational
efforts
are conducted
in response
to collection requirements
validated by DIA,
DT.
Training
of
remote viewing sources
is
designed to develop source abilities commensurate with
operational
tasking.
The Utility Assessment program has
as
its
strategy the appraisal
of
individual
source capabilities
as
well
as
a value
(intelligence utility)
assessment
of
information
produced through applied remote
viewing.
The following charts
depict
the activities
of the SUN STREAK office during CY-1986.
Further details
of the operational
effort
are considered
’’close
hold”
for purposes
of operational
effectiveness.
Personnel
requiring access
to operational
details should contact the SUN
STREAK office.
Further
information concerning training
is
provided
in
the training report
(Enclosure
5)
.
Utility
Assessment files are available
at
the SUN STREAK office.

2.
( S/SK/WNINTEL
)
Included herewith are two graphics.
The SUN
STREAK Production Chart
(Enclosure
1)
shows
the
level
of activity
through the year
as the unit reached operational
readiness.
It
is anticipated that
the monthly production average
of
37.5
sessions
will
be
increased by 30
%
in
1987.
A count
of remote
viewing sessions
is
at
best
a crude scale
for measuring unit
intelligence production.
Ultimately,
however,
sessions must
be
conducted to collect
information
and
to some extent
the more
sessions conducted the higher
the probability of collecting
information
of value to the
intelligence consumer.
The Type
of
Sessions chart
(Enclosure
2)
shows
the distribution
of sessions
over the three basic activities
of
the SUN STREAK office:
Operations,
Training,
and Utility Assessment.
As the unit moved
towards operational
readiness more
than
50%
of
the remote viewing
sessions were devoted to training.
This will
not
be
the case
in
1987.
As
the chart
indicates,
in
the
last quarter
of
1986
the
number
of training sessions
fell
as operations and utility
assessments
rose.
This trend will
continue
into
1987.
3.
(S/SK/WNINTEL)
In addition
to the above scheduled
1986
activities,
SUN STREAK office personnel
developed
an
Intelligence
Evaluation Sheet
for use by selected intelligence consumers.
This evaluation sheet was designed
to be

STREAK techniques
can
be assessed and/or modified
to improve
overall
value.
4.
(S/SK/WNINTEL)
Throughout
the history of SUN STREAK many
briefings
have been conducted.
Many of these briefings
have been
structured around high profile,
successful
remote viewings.
In
so doing the history and development
of
the project
has always
been overshadowed by the presentation
of selected successful
sessions.
Included with this annual
report
is
a draft SUN STREAK
briefing
(Enclosure
4).
The briefing does not focus
on specific
or spectacular remote viewing results
but seeks
to provide
information and an accurate record
on
the history and development
of
the DoD effort
in psychoenerget ics
and the current project,
SUN STREAK.
5.
(U)
We have had five office personnel
attend training
courses which are necessary for working with the newly received
Office
Information System
(OIS)
.
This schooling included five
courses for our Computer Operations
Manager,
and one Systems
Introduction course each for
our secretary,
one training officer,
and two project officers.
Our Computer Operations Manager
has
developed an office operating system from the software procured
with the system,
and
is presently engaged
in the development
of
a
comprehensive database management system which will
meet our
record-keeping,
reports-generation
,
and data retrieval
needs.

INTELLIGENCE EVALUATION SHEET
INFORMATION and
INSTRUCTIONS:
The
information
in
this report
was obtained
in direct response
to
an
intelligence collection requirement provided by your office.
The material
furnished to you
has been acquired through
a unique
and highly sensitive collection technique.
Your care
in
evaluating this
information
will
form the basis by which USI
can
assess this technique and/or modify and refine
the technology to
improve
its overall
value.
While formulating your evaluation
the
following comments concerning this unique collection technique
may be helpful.
Foremost
it must be stated that the information obtained through
this technique
is
likely to consist
of
a mixture
of correct,
incorrect
or
at
times apparently,
irrelevant
data.
Given
this
anomaly the consumer should
be sensitive to the following!
a.
Conceptual
descriptive data tends
to be more reliable
than analytic
labeling.
As
an example,
a source may
inappropriately report
(label)
a body of water
in
an artificial
holding device
at
a designated target as
a
’’recreational
swimming
pool,’’ when
in fact
it
is
a water purification sewage pool.
More
critical
however,
is that
an aircraft fuselage may be erroneously
labeled by the source
as
a submarine
hull.
Caution
is therefore
advised when
a source's descriptions evidence
a great deal
of
analytic
labeling.
Again,
conceptual
descriptive data tends to
be more reliable than analytic
labeling.
b.
Certain anomalies may exist
in
the overall
descriptive
reporting.
A report
on
a known three building complex may,
for
example,
only contain data pertaining
to two buildings.
Furthermore,
significant buildings
or facilities may be
attributed
to
a site when
it
is known that such
’’additions" do
not exist.
Such gaps
or additions
are neither
intentional
nor
an
attempt
to fabricate
information.
In
fact,
they occasionally may
prove useful
with careful
analysis on
the part
of
the consumer.
When this
type
of serious
gap
or addition
is encountered
it
should only be weighed
in
the context
of the actual
tasking and
how
it affects
the results
of
the information
sought.
In other
words,
if you
were initially seeking the purpose
of
a deep
circular
hole
in
the ground,
do not
be concerned about additional
descriptions
of
a nearby lake
when previously confirmed
information indicated no
lake
is present
at
the
site.
Instead,
focus your evaluation
on
the data pertaining
to the deep circular
hole,
while
within
reason,
ignoring extraneous
data.

c.
At
times,
some data may appear
to be abstract
with no
apparent
importance even though other data tends to confirm and
improve upon
the known data base
on
a target.
Information
of
this nature
may,
at
a later date,
be valuable.
For example,
a
reported
lack of personnel
at
a normally bustling defense
installation may seem incongruous until
it
is
learned at
a
later
date that this particular reporting period coincided with
a
evacuation
drill.
d.
The consumer should be aware
that
for reasons
of
security,
strict compartmentat i on and operational
effectiveness,
the actual
collectors
(sources)
of this data are given only
general
guidance.
Therefore,
the collectors may tend to report
on many seemingly extraneous facets of
a target
as
well
as the
specific area of
interest
to the consumer.
If this otherwise
superfluous data
is known
to
be
true,
the veracity of the
source's other descriptions
is enhanced.
It
is recommended that the consumer first examine the
information
provided to isolate the data already known,
if any,
about
the
target.
From this data base the consumer should extract any new
and heretofore unknown
information relevant
to the specific
target.
The
"irrelevant”
information should
be examined
carefully
in
light
of the comments
listed above.
Patently false
or
irrelevant
information should
be weighted as
a facet
of your
evaluation only when
this data contradicts previously confirmed
information pertaining
to the
target.
If you have any questions regarding this
letter,

Evaluation Sheet

or any information provided to you by
this activity please contact

( VG1

SINCE THE EARLY
1970 'S,
THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HAS
BEEN
INVOLVED
IN EXAMINING POTENTIAL USES
OF PSYCHOENERGETICS.
EXPERIMENTS USING REMOTE VIEWING AS AN INTELLIGENCE
GATHERING TOOL,
CONDUCTED BY TWO LASER PHYSICISTS,
HAL PUTHOFF
AND RUSSELL TARG AT STANFORD RESEARCH
INSTITUTE
(SRI)
WERE
SUCCESSFUL.
( VG2
)
REMO'TE VIEWING
IS AN SRI -COINED TERM AND THE DEFINITION
IS SHOWN HERE.
USING SEVERAL APPARENTLY GIFTED PSYCHIC SUBJECTS,
THE
MOST NOTABLE OF WHOM WERE PAT PRICE AND
INGO SWANN,
SRI
SCIENTISTS CONDUCTED SEVERAL
C I A-SPONSORED REMOTE VIEWING TESTS.
PSYCHIC
IMPRESSIONS
INCLUDED MUCH DETAILED ACCURATE
INFORMATION,
SOME OF WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY UNREPORTED,
ABOUT A
SECRET NSA FACILITY,
THE SOVIET RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FACILITY
AT SEMIPALITINSK

OLUilL I
THESE PSYCHIC
IMPRESSIONS WERE CONFIRMED BY HUMINT AND
NATIONAL TECHNICAL SOURCES.
AS
A RESULT OF THESE ORIGINAL TESTS,
EMPHASIS OVER THE
LAST DECADE HAS CENTERED ON REMOTE VIEWING,
RATHER THAN ON OTHER
ASPECTS OF PARAPSYCHOLOGY,
SUCH AS MENTAL TELEPATHY,
ESP,
OR
PSYCHOKINESIS.
(VG3)
DIA AND THE MILITARY SERVICES HAVE,
AT ONE TIME OR
ANOTHER,
BEEN
INVOLVED
IN NUMEROUS PSYCHOENERGETICS
TESTS,
MOST
OF THEM APPLICATIONS ORIENTED.
IN
1972,
THE
US ARMY SURGEON GENERAL,
THROUGH THE
MEDICAL
INTELLIGENCE
INFORMATION AGENCY,
NOW KNOWN AS THE ARMED
FORCES MEDICAL
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY,
( AFMIC)
,
TOGETHER WITH
DIA,
PUBLISHED STUDIES OF SOVIET BLOC
WORK.
IN
1976,
THE MISSILE
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY INFORMALLY
EXPRESSED
INTEREST
IN THE US REPLICATION OF CLAIMED SOVIET
EXPERIMENTS
IN PSYCHOKINESIS.
SRI DEVELOPED
A SMALL PROGRAM FOR THEM AND
IN
1977,
THE
MISSILE
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY AWARDED
SRI
A ONE YEAR RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT.
DURING THE SAME TIME,
THE ARMY MATERIAL SYSTEMS
ANALYSIS AGENCY WAS
INVOLVED
IN THE
INVESTIGATION OF REMOTE
VIEWING CONCEPTS WITH
SRI.
IN
1977,
THE
U.S.
ARJMY
INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY
COMMAND
(INSCOM)
ESTABLISHED
A PROJECT TEAM UNDER THE ASSISTANT
DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF FOR HUMAN
INTELLIGENCE AND
IMPLEMENTED THE
GONDOLA WISH PROGRAM.

THE PURPOSE OF THE GONDOLA WISH PROGRAM
IS SHOWN HERE.
BY
1978,
THE ARMY ACSI CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS
SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO WARRANT THE DEVELOPMENT OF
A COMPREHENSIVE
PROGRAM TO EXPLORE
INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION APPLICATIONS OF
PSYCHOENERGETICS.
THE ARMY ACSI CANCELLED THE GONDOLA WISH EFFORT,
PLACED
A COMPLETE SECURITY ENVELOPE OVER THE ARMY'S
INTEREST
IN
PSYCHOENERGETICS AND
IMPLEMENTED
A NEW PROGRAM DIRECTED TOWARD
INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION USING REMOTE VIEWING.
<VG5>
THIS NEW EFFORT WAS GIVEN THE UNCLASSIFIED
NAME GRILL
FLAME.
BY THE SPRING OF
1978,
INSCOM PROJECT PERSONNEL HAD
BEEN SELECTED AND TRAINING WAS
INITIATED.
THE NEXT CONCERN HOWEVER WAS WHETHER OR NOT
INFORMATION
OBTAINED FROM REMOTE VIEWING WOULD BE OF REASONABLE ACCURACY.
EVEN
IF
SO,
WOULD THE
INFORMATION BE ACCEPTED AND USED BY THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.
WORK TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS WAS OVERCOME BY EVENTS.
ON
SEPT.
1979,
ACSI TASKED
INSCOM TO LOCATE
A MISSING
NAVY AIRCRAFT AND HENCE THE FIRST
INSCOM GRILL FLAME OPERATIONAL
REMOTE VIEWING SESSION TOOK PLACE.
IN THIS
INITIAL SESSION,
THE REMOTE VIEWER LOCATED THE
MISSING AIRCRAFT WITHIN
15 MILES OF WHERE
IT HAD CRASHED.
BASED ON THESE RESULTS,
INSCOM WAS TASKED
TO WORK
AGAINST ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL TARGETS.

THESE TASKINGS FORCED
A PREMATURE HALT
TO THE
INITIAL
TRAINING PHASES AND
BY DEC.
1979,
THE PROJECT WAS COMMITTED TO
OPERATIONS.
DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD,
CONGRESSMAN CHARLIE ROSE
(D-NC),
CHAIRMAN OF THE EVALUATION SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE
PERMANENT SELECT COMMITTEE ON
INTELLIGENCE EXPRESSED
AN
INTEREST
IN THE DOD PURSUIT OF PSYCHOENERGETICS.
BECAUSE OF THIS
INTEREST,
AN
INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATIVE
COMMITTEE WAS FORMED TO REVIEW SUCH ACTIVITIES.
THIS COMMITTEE
WAS KNOWN
AS THE GALE COMMITTEE AND A FINAL REPORT WAS
ISSUED
IN
DEC.
1979.
( VG6
)
SOME
OF THE
IMPORTANT FINDINGS OF THE GALE COMMITTEE
ARE SHOWN HERE.
( VG7 )
SEVERAL MONTHS LATER,
DR.
WILLIAM PERRY,
UNDERSECRETARY
OF DEFENSE FOR RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING,
HAVING BEEN ADVISED OF
DOD PSYCHOENERGETIC ACTIVITIES AND THE GALE COMMITTEE'S FINDINGS,
ISSUED A
5 MARCH
1980 MEMORANDUM.
THIS MEMORANDUM TERMINATED R&D FUNDING
(P6>
FOR
PSYCHOENERGETICS ACTIVITIES BUT POSED NO OBJECTIONS TO THE
CONTINUANCE OF
INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS EFFORTS
<P3>.
IN
FEB.
1981,
ACS I TRANSFERRED GRILL FLAME MANAGEMENT
TO
INSCOM.
(VG8)
AS
A RESULT OF THE GALE COMMITTEE'S FINDINGS AND
THE
PERRY MEMORANDUM,
IN MARCH
1981,
THE DIRECTOR DIA AND THE ARMY
ACS I SIGNED
A JOINT GRILL FLAME

THE EFFORT FORMED BETWEEN DIA AND
THE ARMY WAS TO
IMPLEMENT
A THREE YEAR COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM DESIGNED TO DO THE
FOLLOWING.
( VG9

WITHIN THIS PROGRAM,
THE ROLES OF DIA AND THE ARMY WERE
DISTINCT.
( VG10)
THIS MOU ALSO FORMALIZED THE COOPERATION AMONG ACTIVE
GRILL FLAME PLAYERS OTHER THAN DIA AND
INSCOM.
( VG1 1
)
THIS JOINT SERVICES EFFORT CONTINUED UNTIL DEC.
1982
WHEN THE BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE
OF THE SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
INTELLIGENCE CURTAILED ALL PSYCHOENERGET IC OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES
BY INSCOM
IN THE NATIONAL FOREIGN
INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM
(NFIP)
THE COMMITTEE WAS APPARENTLY UNDER THE MISCONCEPTION THAT THE
PROJECT WAS DOUBLE FUNDED HAVING NOTED
THAT THERE WERE TWO LINE
ITEM ENTRIES
IN THE BUDGET ;
ONE FOR DIA AND ONE FOR
INSCOM.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CONFEREES AGREED HOWEVER TO LET DIA
/ f 5
COMPLETE THE THIRD YEAR OF THEIR EFFORT BUT DIRECTED THAT FUTURE
FUNDING,
IF ANY,
OF PSYCHOENERGET IC ACTIVITY BE BUDGETED OUTSIDE
THE NFIP SINCE THE DIA EFFORT SEEMED TO THEM TO BE R&D ORIENTED.
( VG1 2
)
IN KEEPING WITH CONGRESS IONAL DESIRES,
INSCOM
TERMINATED FORMAL
INVOLVEMENT WITH GRILL FLAME AT THE
END OF FY82
BUT MAINTAINED
ITS MOMENTUM OF EFFORT BY THE DIRECTION OF THE
CG,

UNDER A SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM CALLED CENTER LANE,
