investigators must not know the target at
this
time.)
Together they
agree on a
time for
the subject description to start
(e.g,,
30 minutes
hence--the length of time required
to reach the furthest
target
in the
pool;
this
time
is
then an invariant
for all experiments.)
The outbound
investigator then leaves
the
laboratory,
uses
a random-number generating
procedure
to obtain a number
from
- n
(number of targets
in pool),
obtains
the so-numbered envelope from the target
pool,
and
leaves
the
premises.
(We use a Texas
Instruments
SR-51 hand calculator,
which has
a random-number
function.)
After driving away from the
laboratory,
he
opens
the envelope to determine the
target,
and then proceeds
to that
location.
He should arrange
to park and
then come upon the target
location at
exactly the starting time so that his view of
it
is
fresh
at
the beginning of the experiment.
He then simply pays attention to
the environment and does not
let his mind wander
(especially
to another
target).
It
does not appear
to matter how many people comprise the out-
bound
team,
provided they do not
(1)
pay attention only
to each
other,
or
(2)
scatter about.
At
the end of the agreed-upon target viewing time
(usually
15 minutes)
they return to the
lab.
4.
Inbound Investigator
Behavior
During
the period
that
the outbound investigators
spend en route
to the target,
the inbound
investigator and
subject have a period
to
relax and discuss
the protocols.
(Inbound
it
is best not
to have addi-
tional observers.)
The goal of
the inbound investigator during this
period
is
to make
it "safe"
for
the subject
to experience remote viewing.
For
the initial orientation of a new subject,
this
typically includes
a
low-key pep talk as
to how remote viewing appears
to be a natural,
not
abnormal,
function,
that many people appear
to have done
it
successfully,
even their
first
time,
and always
including the reminder
to eschew
analysis and simply render raw impressions.
Since we think that remote viewing
is
a difficult
task,
like per-
ceiving
a subliminal
stimulus,
we think
it
takes
the full attentive
powers
of
the subject.
Therefore,
the environment,
procedures,
etc.,
should be as natural and comfortable as possible to minimize the
Approved For ReleUM£/l8^$SJ-l?JF&i3o787R000500150001-2
Approved For Release^|^<^|9^gkJj)pep|£<jy7R000500150001-2
attention on anything other
than the job at hand.
No hypnosis,
strobe
lights,
or sensory-deprivation procedures are ever
used,
since
in our
view these
(novel)
environmental
factors
take away some of the subject's
much-needed attention.
We are
in
this sense proponents of a "naturalist
school."
If the subject
feels more comfortable
smoking,
or drinking a
cup of coffee,
that
is
permitted.
These should be arranged ahead of
time,
however,
so that neither subject nor
investigator
leave the
experi-
mental room while waiting for
the outbound
investigator
to reach his
target.
The investigator should have arranged ahead
of time
to have pen and
pap^r available
for drawing,
and
a
tape recorder.
When the agreed-upon
experiment
time arrives,
the
inbound
investigator simply asks
the subject
to "describe what
impressions come to mind with regard
to where the
outbound experimenter
is."
Most subjects prefer
to close their
eyes,
but they should simply do what comes naturally.
The room lighting
is
preferably subdued
to prevent after-image highlights,
shadows on eyelids,
etc.
It
is best that
the inbound investigator not pressure the subject
to say a
lot;
he should act as
if there is all the time in the world.
Otherwise,
a subject may tend
to embroider descriptions just
to be
saying something
to please the
investigator.
If
the subject
tends
toward being analytical
("I see Macy's")
the investigator must gently
lead
the subject
into description,
not analysis.
("You don't have
to
tel}, me where
it
is,
just describe what you see.")
This
is
the most
important and difficult task of
the inbound
investigator.
It
is also useful
for
the inbound investigator to "surprise"
the
subject with new viewpoints.
("Go above the scene and look down--what
do you see?
If you look
to
the
left,
what do you see?")
The subject's
viewpoint appears
to shift rapidly with a question like
this,
and
the
data come through before the subject's defenses activate to block
it
out.
The shifting
of viewpoint also obviates
the problem of
the subject
spending the entire time giving meticulous detail
on a
trivial
item,
such as
a
flower,
which,
even
if
true,
will be of no help
to
a judge.
Once a subject
feels he sees
something,
he tends
to hang on to this
perception rather
than commit himself
to
a new viewpoint.

Approved For Relent M(^(19/^^^|pRgM0787R000500150001-2
The subject must be encouraged
to
sketch what he
sees,
even over
his objections
that he
is not an artist,
can't
sketch,
etc.
He may do
so throughout,
or wait until
the
last
five minutes
if intermittent
drawing would distract his concentration.
Since drawings
tend
to be
more accurate than verbalizations,
this
is an extremely important
factor for good results.
5.
Post-Experiment Feedback
When the outbound
investigator returns,
the inbound and outbound
investigators and subject should proceed directly
to the target
for
feedback.
This helps
to develop
the subject's sense of which parts
of
his mental imaging are correct,
versus
incorrect.
It completes
the
experiment
for him,
so that when he does
a following experiment,
his
mind
is not
still
involved with wondering how he did
on the previous
one.
Only a very experienced subject can function well
time after time
without
feedback,
so this must be done
for
each experiment
to ensure
success.
6.
Judging Procedure
In a
sense,
the most critical part of the remote- viewing procedure
is
the judging.
Any single experiment
in remote viewing,
even
if per-
fect,
can
in principle be dismissed as possibly coincidence.
Further,
any result
less
than perfect
can be dismissed as
a generalized "grass
is
green,
sky
is blue"
transcript
that
fits
every target.
Only blind
differential discrimination across
a series
of targets can put these
interpretations
to rest.
To prepare the transcripts
for
judging,
an investigator not
involved
in judging must read the transcripts and delete from them any reference
to dates
or previously used
targets,
so
that a
judge could not
order
the transcripts chronologically
or otherwise obtain a priori information
useful
in matching.
Two judging procedures can then be
used:
Direct Matching,
and
Rank Ordering.
Both procedures assume that n experiments have been
Approved For Reley^qpjO^^J'fFME©00787*000500 15000 1-2
Approved For ReleaseQ)J^|^(j9^^gj)pp^(j^87R000500150001-2
carried out and n responses obtained.
The judge must then try to
determine which of the n responses
goes with which of the n targets.
a *
Direct-Matching Procedure
The n responses
(transcripts with associated drawings) are numbered
in fandom order and given
to
the judge along with the
list
of n targets,
also
in a
(different) random order.
The key is known by an investigator,
but
| not
the judge.
The judge then visits
the target
sites and
con-
structs
a one-to-one correspondence
list between targets and responses
without replacement;
that
is,
no target
or response
is used
twice.
With the correspondence
list and the aid of
the key,
the investigator
thep consults
the statistical
table
for
Direct; Matching
(Table A-l)
to
determine whether the result
is statistically significant.
For example,
if there were
5 correct matches
out of
9 responses,
the table
indicates
that
the probability of obtaining such a result by chance
is
p = 0.003125,
or roughly
3 times
out
of a thousand.
Since the accepted standard
in
behajviorial research
is that
a result can be considered significant if
one jobtains
the value
p
<; 0.05,
such a result would be considered sig-
niffcant
that
is,
indicative of
a nonchance correspondence.
The Direct Matching procedure
is
the simplest
to carry out,
but
will give no credit
for
a fairly good description if
a judge has
difficulty
in choosing between two possibilities and chooses
the wrong
one.
This procedure
is
thus overly conservative.
The more difficult
Rank Ordering procedure,
described next,
gives partial credit
in such a
case,
and
is
therefore a more precise statistical
tool
for analysis
of
medium-grade results.
b.
Rank-Ordering Procedure
In the use
of the Rank-Ordering procedure,
the
investigator ran-
domizes
the targets and transcripts as before.
Now,
however,
each of n
judges
is given a
set
of the n transcripts but only one of the target
sites
to
investigate.
Each judge's
task
is
to visit his assigned target

site,
read through all
the transcripts,
and order them best-to-worst
matdh
(1
through
5,
say,
if there are five targets and five transcripts).
With the aid of the key,
the investigator
then adds up the rank-
ordering numbers assigned to each target's associated transcript.
For
example,
if the actual response to a target was given a
first place
when a judge was
looking at
that
target,
then
it
gets
a
1.
If
the actual
respjonse to a target was given a third place match when a judge was
looking at
that
target,
then it
gets
a
3,
etc.
The addition of these
numbers
1 +
3 +
...
then yields
a number called
the sum of ranks.
One
then consults
the rank-ordering table
(Table A-2)
for
the statistic
of
interest.
For
example,
if there were
5 experiments
(5
targets and
transcripts)
and
the sum of ranks was
9,
the table for 5x5 gives
a
probability of obtaining such a rank ordering result by chance of
0.0403...,
which
is
significant.

SUMMARY OF KEY EXPERIMENTS
IN LONG-DISTANCE
COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING GENERATED FOR THIS PROGRAM
DURING PREVIOUS YEAR12
(U)
1*
Real-Time Targeting
(Minuteman and Poseidon Missile Static
Test
Firings
in the Western United
States)
(sj
'
(U)
In an effort
to determine the characteristics of real -time
remote viewing,
SRI subjects were requested
to target on a
series of
events
to
take place at various given coordinates
in the western United
States
(Utah and
China Lake,
California)
during designated
time windows.
The nature of the events was
kept blind
to all
SRI personnel until
five
such experiments were completed.
One subject participated
in the experi-
mental series
for all
five events,
while a second participated
in
only-
one.
During the series
the subjects were
located,
respectively,
in the
Menlo
Park,
California
SRI Laboratory and
in Los Angeles,
California.
During the tests,
the subjects made drawings,
and their verbal descrip-
tions were tape-recorded.
(S)
The characteristics of
the events,
which SRI
investigators
were told
later were static
tests
of Minuteman and Poseidon solid-
propellant missile firings,
were picked up
in some detail by both sub-
jects.
During the
five event windows,
three tests were carried
out and
two were canceled because of technical problems.
The subject who
participated
in the entire series correctly noted this
sequence and
also was able
to
indicate actual
event time
to within ten seconds
in
one of
the experiments
in which precise timing information was
obtained
by recording WWV time signals
on
the session tape.

the subjects
of a dust cloud raised
during the test
is
shown in Figure B-l along with
a photograph

for comparison.
A comparison of a test-site schematic with a
sketch one of the subjects generated for

Although the coordinates were intended
to designate an airport
of
interest,
they were obtained
from a
list
that
in fact corresponded
to a nearby population center.
In response,
a
sub-
ject
targeted on this
site generated
the drawing of a dam as
shown
in
Figure
B-5.
This drawing was delivered
to the project monitor who had
forwarded
the coordinates.
Although the existence of the dam was
unknown to
the project monitor when he chose the coordinates,
he later
verified
that
a dam resembling
the subject
T s drawing was
located within
a
few miles
of the coordinates,
roughly as
far from the population
center
as
the airport
of
interest.
(U)
It was
then agreed
that
the appropriate next
step was
to
obtain an overview from the subject without
indicating
to him that
the
item of
interest was an airport.
Should he find an airport during this
second
phase,
he would then be asked
for more detail.
This procedure
was
followed and resulted
in
the overview shown
in Figure B-6;
the
sub-
ject did in fact mention an airport
in his overview.
After completion
of
the overview,
the SRI investigator monitoring
the subject 's
efforts
requested more detail
on the airport.
Figure B-7(a)
shows
the runway
outlines and nearby buildings,
while Figure B-7(b)
indicates detail
dn
a structure at
the end
of the major runway.
These data were evaluated
by the project monitor,
and much of
the description was verified.
Further details
can be supplied on a need-to-know basis
by the project
officer.

Coordinates
for
a second Soviet

gators,
who then passed them on
to a subject.
As
a result
of an error
on ithe part
of the individual who chose the coordinates,
the coordinates
were not
of

interest,
but rather of a barren area
out
in the

In response
to
the coordinates,
the subject described
a town
to the southwest
and a relatively barren area with "loopy roads" at
the
target
site
(Figure B-8),
As before,
the sketches and
a written
description were turned over
for evaluation
to
the project monitor,
who
subsequently verified
the results
as matching
the coordinates
given
in
error.
The error
thus provided an opportunity
to verify that
(1)
the
subject's
output
is not simply geared
to match the expectations
of
the
investigators,
and
(2)
the subject
does not
simply conjure up what may
reasonably be expected
to be correct
(an educated or "safe"
guess),
but
in fact describes
the area appropriate
to
the coordinates
even though
it may run counter
to the subject's
own expectations.
This
experiment
thus
inadvertently provided a control trial
of
the
type useful
in tha
testing of human abilities.

it's,
what
should
I

sort of a medium

I would opine that
it's
a chemical
factory as contrasted
to. .. chemical refinery.
When
I was
out
in
the
Salt
Flats one of
the chemical companies has a big refinery
there
that
takes chemicals
out of all
that
salt water.
As con-

that.
It
seems
to be a chemical refinery.

Well,
I seem to see that there

In

And
it
seems
that
these should be kept
very dry
so they're sealed
in white plastic drums.

like
plexiglass,
unbreakable.

in others
I
see refrigeration coils
in floors
that keep

32°,

is
just below freezing.

this
seem to be a military place or
a commercial place?

D
ERROR- CORRECTING CODING AND THE REMOTE VIEWING OF
TARGET SITES AS A MESSAGE- SENDING MEDIUM
One of the most successful psychoenergetic processes
is
the remote
viewing of target
locations demarcated by some means,
such as
the
presence at
the site of an individual known
to the "viewer."
Unfortu-
nately,
this process --which works
so well--results
in narrative descrip-
tions
that are difficult
to assess
in a quantitative manner.
In order
to utilize the remote- sensing phenomenon as
a
tool
to
investigate the physical and psychological parameters
of psychoenergetics
processes,
it
is
important
to establish optimum analysis
(judging)
pro-
cedures.
Because experiments are designed with the goal
of varying
specific parameters,
such as subject shielding or
the necessity of
feed-
back,
the analysis
or judging procedure must be as rapid as possible,
while retaining objectivity,
if immediate feedback to both subject and
investigators
is
to be provided.
To make an objective analysis
of a single response from a subject
during a remote-sensing experiment,
it
is necessary to quantify the
target content
in some discrete way.
From an examination of
the data
base accumulated
to date
it would appear
that at
least five recurrent
target attributes are frequently sensed correctly by our
subjects.
If
each of
these attributes
is assigned
a binary digit--a "one"
if the
attribute
is present at
the target
site,
and a "zero"
if
it
is absent--
we can,
for
the sake of research experimentation,
construct
a pool
of
32 targets corresponding
to all
possible combinations of five individual
attribute bits
(see Table D-l).
A judging procedure utilizing the binary-coded target
pool
is
as
follows.
After a
target
is selected at random,
and after the subject
has registered his response
in the usual way,
the judge's task
is simply
to ascertain from the subject's response whether
each of
the five

or absent

The resulting five-bit number
is
then compared
to the actual five-bit number
for
the target.
In the
case of good
functioning,
it
is possible
to obtain statistically signi-
ficant results with one or
two such trials.
From pilot work
it appears
that the individual attributes are identified with 80% reliability;
thus
the
j results
indicate that
this
judging procedure may provide
a rapid and
accurate technique
to use remote sensing as a
tool
to test various models
of psychoenergetic
functioning.
This
technique provides an additional benefit
for
the transmission
of njessages.
With judicious assignment of the attributes
in terms
of
s and
s,
it
is possible
to transform a given target
into one of
the
specially coded words
shown at
the
top of Table D-2— for
example,
an
indoor
swimming pool would be rendered as
the code word
10101.
These
code words are carefully chosen37
to construct an error-correcting block
code of a type commonly used
for signal transmission over noisy informa-
tion| channels
To send one of four messages using our standard remote-sensing
protocol,
an outbound team of investigators
chooses
the message whose
attributes match one of
the four shown on
the top of
Table D-2 and

proceeds
to
a
target
location corresponding
to the binary word chosen.
The subject and his monitor then conduct
a standard remote-viewing
experiment.
(The subject
is encouraged
to respond freely,
and is
discouraged from guessing with regard to the attribute list.)
Once the
response period
is completed,
a judge must form a single binary word
from the subject's response,
as described above.
The judge then must
find his "response" word somewhere
in the decoding matrix shown
in
Table D-2 and choose as his "message received"
the word
that
tops
the
column in which the response word appears.
By inspection of Table
D-2,
one
finds
that
the decoding matrix will correct
for all
single errors
in attribute labeling,
and will correct
for
some double
errors.
Figure D-l
shows
the enhanced probability of receiving a two-bit
message correctly over
that expected
if no error correction
is
used.
This procedure was used successfully
in experiments described
