OBJECTIVE
The purpose of
the program is to determine the characteristics of
those perceptual modalities through which individuals obtain information
about their environment, wherein such information is not presented to
any known sense.
The program is divided into two categories
of investigation of
approximately equal effort,
applied research and basic research.
The
purpose of
the applied research effort is
to explore experimentally
the potential for applications of perceptual abilities
of
interest,
with special attention given to accuracy and reliability.
The purpose
of
the basic research effort is to identify the characteristics
of
individuals possessing such abilities,
and
to identify neurophysiological
correlates and basic mechanisms involved in such functioning.

Remote Viewing
(a)
Project Atlas Remote Viewing
A remote -viewing experiment has been carried out on a client-
designated target of interest,
a European R&D test facility.
The experiment,
carried out
in three phases,
had as
its goal the determination of the utility
of remote -viewing under operational conditions.
In phase
I
, map coordinates were furnished to the experimenters
the only additional information provided being the designation of the target'
as
an R&D test facility.
The experimenters then carried out
a remote viewing
* /
experiment with Subject
(Pr^de)
on a double-blind basis.
The results of
the
experiment were turned over to client representatives for data evaluation.
Figure
1 shows
the
level of detail
for a sample early effort.
at building layout,
and Figure
2 shows the subject’s first effort at drawing
a gantry crane
he observed, both results being obtained on a double -blind
basis before exposure
to client-held information.
An artist's conception of
the site
as known to the
client
(but not to contract personnel) prior to the
experiment
is shown in Figure
3.
Were
the results not promising, the experiment would have
stopped
at
this point.
The results were judged to be of sufficiently good
quality*
however,
that Phase
II was entered in which the
subject was made
witting by
client representatives.
A second round of experimentation ensued with participation

Numerical designations for subjects
are discussed in Section B.
