On

I decided to schedule
a

involving Beacon Person Targeting

staff.
This gave them
a brief
rep
current report writing activity and helped keep them in touch
with the phenomenological
aspects
of
our
area
of
interest.
u
also provided
an opportunity to give
a newcomer

a remote viewing demonstration.

The entire experimental

The only information known
to
ectly involved was that the
target
could
be anywhere
20 minute drive.

she had no knowledge

the specific target

well
away from home base.

The results
of
this session were encouraging and
suggested that
valid
” beacon person contact” had

It turned out that the target
was
in
fact
the Burba
Lake Park area
on
Ft.
Meade,
though
it could have been
a sit
anywhere within
a
20 minute
drive.

Afterwards,
it became very clear
to me
that
experimental
sessions such as this
are highly beneficial
for
solidifying group rapport and
in keeping interest m the
phenomenology at high
levels.
We
all benefited from this
demonstration.
Even though the target
was not especial
y
important,
nor did
it have any military significance,
the session
was nevertheless
of high
interest.
It also helped
us
identify
some minor procedural
flaws that can easily be correc
e
(S/NF/OC)
As
a result
of
the positive response
to this BPT
activity,
I plan
to schedule additional
BPT experiments
in the
future.
They will
be
low-key and will
not
interfere with other
activities.
I
have asked
<”h°
is
a
Sood be fcon Person and

a good target
eye)
to develop
a comprehensi ve
area target
pool
so that
we
can refine
our BPT activities.
We still
need to
improve out protocol
and develop
a consistent evaluation
procedure.
(We
are working on
a quantification method)
.
Improvements
in our BPT activity should be helpful
later
cn
when
we begin to fold our activities
into research-oriented projects
in support
of the Congressional
interests.
BPT session such
as
this also help
us
to find the bugs
in
our overall
procedures
and
help the
interviewers
improve their technique.

This MFR
is an
informal
account
of one aspect
of our
project activity to help
in your overall
perspective
of this
phenomenological
area.
Please treat this MFR as
close hold
,
since
I have
identified the DT-S staff
and their specific roles
in this experimental
demonstration.
