KNOWN ELEMENTS
IN REMOTE VIEWING
•
Target acquisition—Subjects can acquire target
site
on
the
basis
of
the presence of
a known person at
the
site;
targeting by geographical coordinates without
the presence
of
a known person at the site yields results comparable
to
those obtained
in experiments
in which
a person known to the
subject
is used as
a beacon.
This observation offers
evidence for goal-oriented
as opposed
to means-oriented
interpretation of the
"laws"
that appear
to govern
psychoenergetic functioning.
•
Target attributes
sensed—Descriptive aspects
(shape,
form,
color,
material)
are described better than analytical
concepts
(function,
name)
,
although
at
times the latter come
through excellently.
Written target material
is correct
only occasionally.
Alphabet targets are successful
only
statistically.
In addition to visually observable detail,
subjects
sometimes report
sounds,
smells,
electromagnetic
fields,
and other phenomena that can be verified as existing
at
target
locations.

•
Spatial and temporal resolution—The channel
functions with
spatial resolution down
to
at
least one millimeter.
Real-time activities at
the target
site are often perceived.
•
Distance effects—Accuracy and resolution are not sensitive
functions
of subject-target distance over intercontinental
distances
.
•
Shielding—Faraday cage or
sea water electrical
shielding
are not effective
shields.
•
Factors
that appear
to inhibit
success
in remote
viewing—These are
a priori
subject knowledge of target
possibilities,
absence of feedback,
application of the
ability to trivial tasks
(testing for the
sake of
testing),
and use of repetitive target
sequences.
•
Factors
that appear
to enhance success
in remote
viewing—These are
interest factors for the
subject,
a
priori necessity for obtaining information and relevance
(i.e.,
seriousness
of purpose),
the presence
of
a
facilitating monitor
to ask questions and direct
the
subject's attention,
and practice with feedback.

KNOWN ELEMENTS
IN REMOTE VIEWING
•
Accuracy and reliability—Analysis
of remote viewing
transcripts generated by experienced subjects
indicates
that
on
a given target
site roughly two-thirds
of the subject's
generated material constitutes an accurate description of
the
site while about one-third
is ambiguous,
general,
or
incorrect
.
•
Repeatability
of phenomena—Continuing demonstrations
in
this program,
and replications
in other laboratories,
indicate
that
the capability known
as
"remote viewing"
is
a
repeatable human perceptual ability.
•
Distribution
of psychoenergetic capacity
in the
population—Abilities appear widespread although latent;
volunteers with no previous history of psychoenergetic
functioning exhibit ability
in screening experiments,
indicating that reliance
on
the availability of
special
subjects may not be necessary.
Unknown,
however,
are
the
percentage
of population trainable or with natural
talent,
the optimum screening procedures,
and
the medical
or
psychological profiles of good subjects.
®
Threat potential—Remote viewing,
through the use of
geographical coordinates
as designators,
has
in many cases
provided meaningful descriptions of East-Bloc military
facilities designated as targets by the sponsor.
Evaluation
by appropriate
intelligence community specialists
indicates
that
a subject
is able by this process
to generate useful
data corroborated by other
intelligence data.
As
is
generally true with human sources,
the
information
is
fragmentary and
imperfect,
and
is therefore best utilized
in
conjunction with these other resources;
nonetheless,
the
data generated by this process appear
to exceed any
reasonable bounds
of chance correlation or acquisition by
ordinary means,
and therefore constitute
a potentially
exploitable
information source.
