A secondary purpose was to examine. the data for trends useful in future proficiency or operational activity. II (U) BACKGROUND: (U) Basic approaches for in-house proficiency activity was defined in DT-S-1031-SL, Procedures for Special Proficiency Targets, 5 April 1991, and in DT-S-1039-SL, Proficiency Enhancement Projects, 21 June 1991. Evaluation procedures for these types of projects were presented in DT-S-1046-SL, Proficiency Program Reporting and Evaluation, 3 Jun 1992. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) The proficiency series presented in this report is part of the on-going proficiency activity conducted by DTI-S personnel. This particular series was defined in advance to consist of only 10 targets that were randomly drawn from a pictorial target pool consisting mostly of general interest areas or sites. Content of the pictures in this pool includes natural geographic areas, geographic areas with structures, or unique objects. III (U) DISCUSSION: 1. (U) Basic Procedures: (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) This proficiency series employed standard remote viewing approaches used by DTI-S personnel. To examine possible effects in targeting conditions, two targeting protocols were manipulated: (1) the targets would either be known to a beacon person; or (2) the specific targets would not be known to anyone (i.e., double blind, no beacon person condition). It was defined in advance to select an equal number of beacon person and no beacon person targets. This condition was not randomized so that the schedule of available beacon persons could be accommodated. (U) Basic protocols, records, and other aspects of this proficiency series were performed according to previously established procedures that are reported in documents cited in the background section. , _ (S/NF) Due to the small number of targets in this series, definitive conclusions could not be drawn from the results. However, it was anticipated that data trends might be Serereyae = URE -00789R002900440001 -2 Approved For Relea we J EOI ROP96-00
