THUS REVERSING THE PERRY MEMORANDUM OF
1980.
( VG 1 3
)
ON
OCT.
1983,
DIA PUBLISHED THE RESULTS OF THEIR
THREE YEAR PSYCHOENERGETICS EVALUATION EFFORT.
THERE WERE SEVERAL KEY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT RESULTED
FROM THE 3-YEAR GRILL FLAME EFFORT AS SHOWN HERE.
THESE FINDINGS
AND RECOMMENDATIONS WERE SUPPORTED BY AN
INDEPENDENT SCIENCE REVIEW PANEL CALLED ON BY CONGRESSMAN EDWARD
P.
BOLAND
(D-MA)
,
MEMBER OF THE HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
INTELLIGENCE.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS
INDEPENDENT SCIENCE REVIEW PANEL
WAS TO EVALUATE THE VALIDITY OF THE SRI EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE
EFFORT.
(VG14
)
IN
AUG.
1984,
THE DECISION WAS MADE TO MAKE THE
OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES OF
INSCOM'S REMOTE VIEWING UNIT MORE
RESPONSIVE TO STRATEGIC,
NATIONAL LEVEL TASKING.
IN ORDER TO DO THIS,
IT WOULD
BE NECESSARY TO TRANSFER
THE UNIT TO DIA.
ON
SEPT.
1984,
A MOA BETWEEN DIA AND
INSCOM FOR
PROJECT CENTER LANE'S TRANSFER WAS COMPLETED.
BY FEB.
1985,
THE
INITIAL STEPS WERE UNDERWAY TO
TRANSFER CENTER LANE TO DIA AS
A DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SPECIAL
ACCESS PROGRAM.
DURING THIS SAME PERIOD
OF TIME,
CONGRESS
WAS BEING
BRIEFED ON THE DIA PLAN TO FORM A COLLECTION ACTIVITY BASED ON

OVER TEN YEARS
OF GOVERNMENT SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DIA'S OWN
THREE YEAR GRILL FLAME EFFORT.
WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT
IT
WAS DIA'S
INTENT TO CONDUCT AN INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION PROGRAM
AND NOT AN R&D EFFORT,
THE SENATE RESTORED NFIP FUNDING FOR
INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS FOR FY86
AND BEYOND.
AS
A SEPARATE
ISSUE,
DOD
IS ALSO CONDUCTING A MODERATE
R&D EFFORT THROUGH USAMRDC WHICH HAS

REMOTE VIEWING
IS
A HIGHLY CONTROLLED AND FORMALLY
ESTABLISHED,
UNIQUE
INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION CAPABILITY WHICH HAS
THE FOLLOWING CHARACTER 1ST ICS.
IT
IS PASSIVE.
TO THE EXTENT OF OUR KNOWLEDGE,
COLLECTION BY REMOTE VIEWING
IS TOTALLY PASSIVE,
THAT
IS TO SAY,
IT CANNOT
BE DETECTED WHEN USED.
ONLY ONE SCIENTIFIC CLAIM OF DETECTION OF REMOTE
VIEWING
IS KNOWN.
CHINESE SCIENTISTS CLAIM TO HAVE DETECTED
REMOTE VIEWING DURING THEIR EXPERIMENTS WITH CHILDREN.
DATA ON THESE EXPERIMENTS
IS
INSUFFICIENT TO VALIDATE
THIS CLAIM.
WORK TO REPLICATE THESE EXPERIMENTS,
HOWEVER,
IS
ONGOING AT
SRI.
REMOTE VIEWING
IS
INEXPENSIVE.
THE PRINCIPAL COST OF

REMOTE VIEWING COLLECTION
IS THE PEOPLE
INVOLVED.

IS

A REMOTE VIEWING SESSION
IS
A TEAM EFFORT.
THE TEAM CONSISTS OF THE
INTERVIEWER OR MONITOR
AND THE
REMOTE VIEWER.
THE ERV INTERVIEWER'S JOB
IS TO KEEP THE REMOTE VIEWER
ON TRACK,
TO DIRECT THE FOCUS OF THE REMOTE VIEWER,
AND TO ELICIT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE TARGET.
THE CRV MONITOR'S JOB
IS TO CONTROL AND SUPERVISE THE
STRUCTURE OF THE REMOTE VIEWING SESSION.
THE REMOTE VIEWER
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPORTING
IMPRESSIONS,
CONCEPTS,
IDEAS,
SENSATIONS,
FEELINGS,
AND NOTIONS
OF THE TARGET.

THE GOAL OF THE SESSION
IS (TO COLLECTION INFORMATION OF

TO DO THIS,
GREAT CARE
IS TAKEN TO TRY AND ENCOURAGE
THE REMOTE VIEWER TO PRODUCE ONLY PSYCHIC

The prime objective
of ORV training
is
to train
a
source
to provide greater detail
about specific objects,
e.g.,
components,
assemblies,
etc.,
the description
of which may be
of
intelligence
value.
Detailed descriptions
of discrete objects
are
not emphasized during normal
RV training or operational
sessions.
As
a result,
trained sources experience
some

EXTENDED REMOTE VIEWING
The Extended Remote Viewing
(ERV)
training procedure draws
on
the
expertise
of over
two decades
of research by independent
investigators and recognized academic
institutions
including
the
University of Virginia Medical
Center,
the Maimonides Medical
Center,
the Mind Science Foundation,
the University of California
at
Davis,
Texas Southern University of Houston,
Mundelein
College,
Syracuse University and others.
The ERV approach has
as
its
goal
the subjective
temporal
extension
of subliminally brief
psychic
impressions.
The trained ERV percipient
is
able
to
control,
observe,
and report perceptions
which would otherwise
be
ignored
or neglected fleeting
images.
This extension
of
the
perceptual
window
is accomplished through the achievement
of
a
discrete state
of consciousness defined by identified state
dependent
behaviors.
These behaviors
are regarded
as
skills
which the trainee
must
master.
The basic components
of
the ERV
training procedure
involve
the trainee
in
learning the following

Skill
- Ability to communicate RV perceptions.
Training
in right hemispheric verbalization
techniques,
sketching techniques,
practice
in non-
analytic
reporting,
etc.
Each
one
of these skills
is trained over
a period
of several
weeks.
When
the trainee demonstrates
independent mastery of each
skill,
he then
learns
to combine
the skills.
His
goal
is
to
simultaneously exhibit
all
of
the
learned skills thereby
achieving
a specified discrete state
of consciousness
in which
the trainee
is
able
to
RV.
The
behavioral
psychologist would
call
this state dependent repertoire
of behaviors
a
subpersonal ity,
label
it
as
“remote
viewer” and
include
it along
with other subpersonalities
(parent,
spouse,
athlete,
office
supervisor,
etc.)
in
the
individuals overall
identity.
From this
perspective,
the trained ERVer
is able
to RV by simply internally
identifying with the
“remote viewer”
as easily as
one becomes
a
parent,
spouse,
or
athlete.
This
feat
is accomplished by
willfully identifying with
a role
(a
learned
set
of state
dependent behaviors)
in
an appropriate
(socially accepted)
environment
.
Once
the trainee
is able
to
“become
a remote
viewer” by engaging
learned skills,
he/she
is challenged
to perform under controlled
conditions.
This
is
done by presenting the
trainee with
progressi vel y complex RV tasks coupled with
a reinforcement
strategy designed
to develop self confidence and
to internalize
ego state stabilizing factors.
Assessment
of
individual
RV
capabilities can begin during this phase
of
training.
For
just
as there
are
parents,
spouses,
athletes,
and teachers
with
different abilities,
so too are there remote viewers possessing
a
wide
range
of abilities.
The general
target
or
site categories
for these
progressi vel y complex RV tasks
are outlined below:
Local
Targets
-
The ERV team
(interviewer and trainee)
are secluded within
the
RV room.
An
outbound
“beacon”
individual
proceeds
to
a selected site
unknown
to
the ERV team.
The ERV team attempts
to describe
the
“beacon's”
location.
After the training
session
the
“beacon” takes
the
ERV team
to
the site
to assess
the accuracy of
the training session.

Global
Targets
—
The training session
is conducted
in
a
similar manner
with
the exception
that
the selected target
is
not
limited to
the
local
area and
is usually designated
by geographic coordinate,
photograph,
or
other
identifying
data.
The trainee,
of
course,
is
not provided any information
about
the site and must
by the very
nature
of
the problem remote view
it.
Appl icat ion
Targets
—
At this point
the trainee
is
introduced
to RV problems which mimic actual
operational
potential.
Training
is
conducted the same
as
with Global
Targets
but
general
descriptive data
provided by the trainee
is
insufficient
to satisfy training objectives.
Specific,
significant qualitative
data
which would
be
of exploitable value
must
be
reported.
Feedback requirements during ERV training are similar
to those
outlined for CRV training
as
"Classes”
of CRV training.
The
interviewer
is able
to vary the
level
of feedback depending
on
the trainee's ability and needs.
The
level
of
feedback
is always
based on
the development
of
a reliable,
qualified remote viewer
and an effective ERV team.
At
times
this may require
that
the
interviewer know about
the selected training site whereas during
other training sessions
the interviewer may know nothing about
the
site.

TRAINING PRECIS
for
COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING
The Coordinate Remote Viewing
(CRV)
training procedure
was
developed by an SRI-International
(SRI-I)
subcontractor
in the
early
1980s
to satisfy R&D demands
on
SRI-I
to enhance
the
reliability
(scientific replicability)
of remote viewing
(RV)
.
The subcontractor
9 s approach to improving
the reliability of RV
was
to focus
on
the control
of those factors
that
in his view
tend
to
introduce
"noise”
into the
RV product
(imaginative,
environmental,
and
interviewer overlays).
The basic components
of this training procedure consist
of:
(1)
Repeated site-address
(coordinate)
presentation,
with
quick-reaction
response by the remote
viewer;
coupled with
a
restrictive format
for
reporting perceived information
(to
minimize
imaginative
overlays).
(2)
The
use
of
a specially-designed,
acoustic-tiled,
relatively featureless,
homogeneously-colored
"viewing
chamber"
(to minimize environmental
overlays).
(3)
The adoption
of
a strictly-prescribed
,
limited
interviewer patter
(to minimize
interviewer
overlays).
The applied CRV training procedure requires
that the trainee
learn
a progressive multi-stage acquisition process postulated to
correspond to increased contact with the
site.
Initially the
trainee
is presented with
RV sites requiring minimal
detection
and decoding skills
( "stage one"
sites).
When the trainee
demonstrates
an ability to control
the
"signal
line" and reliably
"objectifies" accurate descr i pt ions
,
the next
"stage"
of training
is
engaged.
This procedure continues through
"stage six" and
usually takes
a number
of months
to master.
The CRV Stages
are
identified as
follows:
Stage One
-
islands,
mountains,
deserts,
etc.
Stage
Two
-
sites
of quality sensory value;
sites which
are uniquely describable through
touch,
taste,
sound,
color,
or odor such as
^
glaciers,
volcanoes,
industrial
plants,
etc.
Stage Three
-
sites possessing significant dimensional
character istics such
as buildings,
bridges,
airfields,
etc.
