Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8 I 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 neurophystological correlates and basic mechanisms involved in such functioning. II PROGRESS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD A. Applied Research 1. Remote Viewing As discussed in previous reports, the remote~viewing channel through which individuals obtain information about their environment appears to be a relatively well-developed stable channel in certain of our subjects. As will be seen below, for example, the channel appears to be of sufficiently high data rate that a knowledgeable analyst could discriminate among possible alternative technologies on the basis of descriptions prov ded Ey remote viewing of technical apparatus. Given the observed degree of Stability of the phenomena, 4 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8 lengthy series of experiments were carried out in which certain variables were manipulated in order to test various hypotheses. These consisted of (a) the measurement of physiological correlates during remote viewing; (b) the effects of manipulating the feedback variable over the range 1) mid-testing feedback via walkie talkie, 2) delayed post-experiment i feedback, 3) no feedback, the latter providing a test which permitted i rejection of the hypothesis that apparent remote viewing was simply precognition of feedback data; (c) determination of whether resolution t and discrimination on the order of technical laboratory equipments was possible, verified unambiguously in the affirmative. (a) Local Targets with Mid-Experiment Interrogation and Feedback (Training Series) In this series of training experiments, designed to give immediate data to experimenters and subject, a subject is asked to take .- i part in a remote viewing experiment under the following conditions. The subject and two experimenters (one of whom was R.T.) are in a first floor laboratory in building 30 at SRI. A second experimenter (H.P.) leaves the area and proceeds to a remote location of his choosing. None of the experimenters with the subject know of the remote target location. H.P. and R.T. are in two-way radio communication via walkie- talkie, (a) to provide the experimenter at the target location real-time data and (b) to give the subject immediate feedback after he has made his assessment of the target. By tnis means the subject is given an °pportunity to learn to separate real from imagined images. We stress that this is not to be considered a denonstration-of-ability test, but Tather a training step. In these experiments we also monitor physiological Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8 correlates, as discussed in Section B.3. Following is a description and summary of the seven experiments of this type that were carried out. The first five experiments were carried out with Subject S-4, the last two | with Subject S-3. 1) For the first experiment in the series, the remote experi- menter was standing on a small bridge over a stream passing through a gully. The subject described a hill with a small amount of vegetation on the top, and some gray shingles, like a roof, over water, an almost error-free description of the location. . Although there was no corrective feedback, the subject's narration was elicited by the remote experimenter via questions, and therefore it would be difficult to quantify the amount of remote viewing present given the possibility of unknown cueing. 2) The remote experimenter was standing in the middle of a bed of purple iridescent flowers surrounded by a bright green hedge. Before there was any radio contact the subject said that her main perception was of "iridescent blue and lush green vegetation". This is judged to have enough commonality to be considered a reasonable match. 3) The remote experimenter had gone to a kiosk bulletin board in the shape of a wooden cylindrical tower with a brown wooden roof. The Structure is about 15 feet tall. The subject's first words, before radio communication was established, were: "He could be near a grey wooden tower with a brown roof.'"' This wes considered a direct hit and the subject was told that this was the case, The Subject went on to describe correctly the roof around the tower as sloping but she incorrectly described the tower as square. The small-size perspective was not observed by the subject. 4) The experimenter was standing on the edge of a concrete Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP$6-00787R000100130001-8
, Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8 waterway made up of several zigzag elements. It is a decorative watercourse through a park. The subject's First comments are of a "strong zigzag". With a question from the remote experimenter as to its orientation (i.e., whether horizontal or vertical), her description evolves into a "zigzag water channel with concrete sides". We are confident that the feedback she received in this case by questioning could not have conveyed this information. 5) The remote experimenter stood next to a large oak tree. In his immediate forward field of view was a large circular brick wall sur- rounding a plaza area containing a fountain. The subject's first comments prior to radio feedback comprised a description of large trees and a brick elliptical wall that was nonfunctional. The subject was then given feedback that the primary things to be seen from that location were in fact a large tree and a circular brick enclosure. 6) The remote experimenter went to the top of a 100 foot wooden tower on which was mounted radar equipment. The tower is painted yellow and has a wooden wall enclosing the top. By and large, much of the material volunteered by the subject does relate to the target location. For example, he eventually described it as a yellow tower before either the color or the tower were mentioned, although the height was not cognized. As the first in a training series on local viewing for this Subject there was considerable radio communication and therefore although remote viewing was in evidence, no clear judgment can be made as to quality. 7) The remote experimenter in this experiment walked through a blacktop parking lot pest a blue construction building, entered a park along a footpath through the grass, and then stood next to a fountain. Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8 The subject described the above material essentially without feedback or radio contact. As a single narrative, he told of first seeing blackness which he identified as an asphalt parking lot behind the experimenter, and told that there was a blue building nearby. When this was confirmed, the subject went on to describe‘a white footpath through grass and entry into a depressed area. The subject then asked if the area was a fountain, which was confirmed. This latter performance is indicative of the most successful perceptions that we have seen from this subject. ' We stress again that this particular series, involving as it does mid-experiment questioning and feedback, is to be considered a training series to provide subject and experimenter alike means whereby various aspects of the phenomena may be examined in detail. Nevertheless, sufficient descriptive elements were given before feedback to indicate unambiguously a functioning ability. For a summary of pre-feedback identifications, see Table 1. Since these experiments were carried out with monitoring of physiological correlates, it was established that such monitoring is not intrusive. Real-time observation of the remote site under conditions of Teal-time subject interrogation leads to the following best-effort qualitative interpretation: Remote viewing generally does not provide an integrated visual impression of an entire scene in the sense of direc=E ~~ visual observation, - Rather, the subject provides an overall impressionistic gestalt together with individual Salient elements, a response similar to that obtained under conditions of tachistoscopic viewing. Remote viewing is, however, generally (for experienced subjects) at a level sufficient 'o permit discrimination among known alternatives on the part of an analyst.

Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8 (b) Variable Feedback Study In this second series of eight experiments, the variable manip~ ulated was the type of feedback that was given to the subject. The feedback covered the range (a) immediate feedback via walkie-talkie as before, (b) subject taken to the remote site after the experiment, (c) no feedback given whatsoever. In this latter case the subject was not even told whether or not she was correct. One aspect of the examination of the effect of feedback was to test a hypothesis proposed by Dr. Gerald Feinberg who had witnessed some of our early remote viewing experiments. A paper of his entitled, "Precognition-- Remembrance of Things Future", is included as Appendix A. His theory, briefly stated, proposed that since the subject eventually gets to perceive directly the target location with this normal senses, he might in principle gain access to that information by reading his own mind precognitively. The physical basis for this would be the electromagnetic advanced potential wave carrying his future memory backward in time, thus allowing it to be "remembered" before it took place. Although this summary does not do justice to the theory, it is clear that the way to test such a theory is to withhold data entirely from the subject as to the nature of the target.location. With the two goals of testing the Feinberg hypothesis and measuring the overall effects of feedback, we arranged that walkie-talkie feedback, delayed (post-experiment) feedback and no-feedback experiments were ran- domly intermixed. The protocol for aii experiments involved one of the experimenters leaving the subject with the other experimenter in the SRI laboratory. The traveling experimenter would be allowed fifteen Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8

He would then pay close attention to his surroundings for ten minutes, after which he would return to SRI, In the first five experiments, H.P. was the outbound experimenter, in the last three experiments the experimenter roles were reversed with R.T. as the outbound experimenter. ‘The entire set of experiments were carried out with Subject S-4. 1) The formal courtyard of SRI's International Building, about 20 x 20 meters surrounded on four sides by two-story concrete buildings, served as the first target. In the center of the courtyard is a presently inactive fountain and small trees planted in rows. During the experiment, the _ outbound experimenter (H.P.) stood in that fountain. There was no mid- test feedback, only post-experiment feedback. The main descriptive elements of the subject pertained to a formal garden with a little dry fountain in the middle. Other elements that the subject described were a wrought iron fence, a trough leading to the fountain, and the experimenter climbing steps. In addition to the above correct descriptions, the subject also described a blue sign and railroad tracks behind a fence. These latter elements are not present at the site. The formal garden ambience is clearly a correct gestalt of the place and would allow for easy discrimination from the other target locations that follow. Except for the two incorrect data noted above, the rest of the description was basically coherent and accurate, 2) The target location was a 30-foot long trailer used by SRI to house its mobile radio transmitter. Puthoff walked back and forth outside this stainless steel trailer. for the ten minutes of the experiment. In Our estimation the subject gave a nondefinitive set of impressions Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8

No feedback was given either during our following the experiment. 3) A bicycle shed behind SRI's building 30, brightly lit by sun shining on translucent white plastic walls, comprised the third target. The outbound experimenter (H.P.) sat on a bicycle. The subject's main description detailed how brilliantly the place was lit with no shade. The descriptions which followed dealt with con- verging metal spokes. Her impression was that the metal spokes divided the space of a circular area rimmed by some other material. “She submitted a drawing showing a stick figure representing the experimenter (H.P.) standing on one of the spokes of an eight spoked wheel, about a man's height in diameter. Since the content of her ten minute description dealt with the elements brightness and metal spokes, the inaccuracy is to be found in the scale of the description, and of course her omission of the fact that the spoked wheel belonged to a bicycle. As in the previous experiment, no feedback was provided to the subject either during or following the experiment. | 4) The fourth target was a wooden bulletin board kiosk, used earlier as a target, about half a mile from SRI. It is a cylinder about fifteen feet high with a conical roof having a three foot overhang. Mid-test communication via walkie-talkie permitted questions to be asked by the remote experimenter, and post-experiment feedback was also given. As in experiment two, nothing in the subject's description would allow one to identify the target. Feelings of anxiety were expressed Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8 along with a request to terminate that location as a target because of "fear of a primal force and danger". A purely speculative point could be made -concerning the fact that while at the target location the experi-~ menter spent his time reading an announcement of a meeting about Viet- namese children mained during the war. A separate test seriés would be required to test such a hypothesis. 5) The remote experimenter went to a rectangular concrete platform containing three cylindrical fire hydrants. He balanced himself as he walked on the wooden 2x2 header bordering the concrete pad. . Mid-test communication and post-experiment feedback were given. The subject's first impression prior to any communication was that the experimenter was tightrope walking on a long narrow ledge out in the open, as, for example, on the top of a wall. Following confirmation of the tightrope aspect, the subject volunteered a description of metal tubes bisecting the masonry. The correspondences to basic elements are manifold, including description of experimenter activity, and there are no incorrect data. In our estimation the essentially null mid-experiment feedback could not. in this case have provided the data obtained by the subject. 6) The target site in this experiment was a children's playground about 4 miles from SRI. The outbound experimenter, R.T. in this case, spent the ten minute experimental period riding on a small merry-go-round in a sand box. The subject describes R.T. as riding on something that leaves a wake, although not necessarily in water, e.g., it could be in the air. She sees sand or mud, and the "vehicle" he is riding on is described as curved and looks like chrome (correct). He is also described as being in Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8

Although the merry-go-round as a gestalt:was not recognized, the ambience of the place was well conveyed by the subject's descriptions. There was feedback to the subject only the day following the experiment. 7) The seventh target was an auditorium at SRI with a flood-lit Stage and red carpets throughout. The outbound experimenter was R.T.. The subject's description was of a patterned. carpet in a large well-lit room. The subject saw a scalloped design covering this interior space, in reds.and maroons, and submitted a drawing which matched well the array of seat backs. She correctly described the experimenter as leaving the brightly lit area (stage) after five minutes and moving to a second area in the room. This was the first indoor target area we have used with this subject. We consider her description excellent both with regard to structure and ambience, though again the significance was not cognized. Post- experiment feedback was given. 8) A church in Palo Alto served as the final target in the series. It is a tall,modern, very elegant building. The subject's first comments are of a tall august lofty building that must be a Library or a church, very solemn. She describes a cross or kite at the end of the solemn hall. The outside is correctly described as gray masonry with cutouts for windows. The remote experimenter (R.T.) is correctly described as leaving the building by a concrete passageway. We consider this to be the best match of the series with respect to Structure, ambience, and activity of remote experimenter. No feedback Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8 was given either during or following the experiment. In this series of eight experiments, summarized in Table 2, three feedback protocols were employed. They included the use of a walkie- talkie communication during the experiment, feedback after the termina- tion of the experiment, and no feedback at all. Since mid-test communi- cation was used in some of these experiments, this series was not intended as a demonstration-of-ability test, but rather as a training series with a secondary goal of determining whether feedback to the subject is a necessary component of the remote viewing phenomenon. The detailed tape recorded transcript of experiment number 8, the church, is one of the more accurate and complete descriptions we have ever obtained from a remote viewing experiment. In this case the subject was given no feedback whatsoever as to the nature of the target or the correctness of her description. We conclude from this experiment, and Supporting evidence from the spoked wheel drawing from experiment 2, that a channel of significant capacity exists between a subject and a remote location even in the absence of feedback. Furthermore, from our analysis of the data and conversations with the subject, it appears that the exis- tence of mid-experiment communications is more of a disturbance than a help to the subject in establishing rapport with the remote experimenter. Finally, the roles of R.T. and H.P. as interrogator and outbound experimenter were interchanged for some experiments with no observable difference, indicating that the remote-viewing phenomenon is not strongly personality dependent.

We have established. in other work that a high data rate channel exists between a remote viewing subject and a distant site. In this work we investigate the amount of specific detail that a subjecc is able to obtain concerning a remote and unfamiliar scene. Just prior to these experiments we had carried out experiments with subjects $-3 and S-4 to measure the physiological correlates of remote viewing and to test feedback hypotheses. One of the observations that we made at the conclusion of that work was that the quality, accuracy, and coherence of the descriptions provided by both these subjects appeared to be improving. We therefore asked them to participate in this series of technology experiments in which they would attempt to describe laboratory equipment of the type with which they may not be familiar. As is now standard in our protocol, they were asked simply to describe what they saw rather than name the object. There were four experiments in this series, and the subjects were successful in obtaining significant information in all cases. In the first three experiments one experimenter left the subject with a second experimenter blind to the target and by random protocol selected a piece of apparatus with which to interact, located in a part of SRI where the subject had not been previously. The experimenter then used the equipment in the appropriate manner for ten minutes, after which he returned to the laboratory. The subject was asked both to describe the apparatus and to submit drawings. Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RG@P96-00787R000100130001-8

Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8 1) Link Trainer, Target Number One, was a standard computer-conrolled flight simulator which resembles the cockpit portion of an aircraft. It is made of high-gloss blue fiberglass. The interior has flight controls and a seat for the pilot. It is very cramped quarters for anyone over six feet tall. An experimenter (R.T.) flew the inactive trainer according to a printed flight plan book. This plan book is six inches high and 22 inches wide when open. The windows were frosted and translucent. The subject's description was:‘essentially devoid of incorrect statements. An element that appeared throughout was a shiny porcelain object like a bathtub. The subject had the definite impression that the experimenter was crowded into a very small space, with his head touching the ceiling (correct). She said that the inside had only gray diffuse light and lacked color. The experimenter was observed to be doing something with both hands. She also described a long paper, like a waiter's towel, over the arm, which appears to correspond well with the flight plan book which was held in this manner. Although the subject's description would not necessarily lead ‘one to recognize the target location as a Link Trainer, except as a match between known alternatives, there were many correspondences and quite good freedom from error. 2) Target Number Two in the series was a video monitor used with a PDP 11 text editor. It is a three-foot cubical TV monitor with a 23 inch screen. It is painted matt black and is located in the center of a large room. During the ten-minute viewing experiment, the outbound experimenter entered text on the screen by means of a keyboard located dizectly under the monitor. The subject provided an exceptionally coherent description of a: Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8 big box painted matt black in the center of a large room. The front of the box was said to have a glass porthole like a washing machine with blue light coming out of it. She described the experimenter as looking at that light and using switches located under the porthole to do something with the machine. The description was sufficiently accurate that a technically- oriented analyst might reasonably be expected to identify the target from among a restricted range of possibilities. As is often observed, the basic: elements are described correctly while the analytical significance is not cognized. 3) Target Number Three consisted of a drill press in a machine shop. The target was a seven-foot-high, belt-driven drill press, which was used the ten-minute experimental period. - The subject described the object as being a man~sized machine with wheels, gears, and some sort of conveyer belt. She drew a picture of a belt operating between a pair of pulleys. ‘She also described an "anchor or umbrella" which she drew as a hub with four spokes, at the end of each of which was a knob. This resembles accurately the handle which is used to raise and lower the drill. She also drew a vertically- oriented graph,which is in fact on the front of the machine to indicate depth of drill motion. The three drawings together with her verbal " description contain many elements that in our estimation would allow an analyst to assess correctly the nature of the machine, given a restricted class of possibilities. These three targets were described by Subject S-4. Her only input Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RBP96-00787R000100130001-8

It is clear that the three descriptions are differentiated from each other, and that varying amounts of technically correct information was obtained and recorded by the subject. 4) An abacus in a day/date/clock pedestal served as target number 4. The target is shown-in Figure 1. The target object for this experiment was purchased on the day of the experiment in New York City for the purpose of measuring the resolution of Subject S-3 in the remote viewing situation. After the abacus was purchased, the subject was called and asked to take part in a remote viewing experiment in our hotel room. Unlike the usual protocol, in this experiment both experimenters knew the description of the target object. We therefore had pre-recorded the entire experimental preamble for the subject which had been carefully checked in advance for unintentional verbal cueing. Pre-recorded Preamble: "Hal and I have brought a present for you. We wandered around New York this morning and we bought an object. This object is of the type that one interacts with, and Hal will use it for its normal purpose. Today is Friday, September 27, 1974. As in all our remote viewing experiments, we'd like to ask you to describe the object as you see it rather than attempting to give the object a name." Shortly after the subject entered the hotel room, one experimenter (H.P.) took a large locked suitcase containing the target into the wash room. He locked the door and removed the abacus from the suitcase. He then quietly moved the wooden balls back and forth on their wires. We had verified in setting up the experiment that this action was inaudible. Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100130001-8

The subject produced within one minute an outline drawing (Figure 2(1)) which he said was "it", although he didn't know what "it" was. (The large purplish-silver object corresponds well with the interior of the suitcase.) The experimenter then asked the subject for more detail. A second drawing (Figure 2(1I1)) was produced by the subject who described the object as a "pame box with little balls". He felt that that was all he could do and handed in his second drawing. We then terminated the experiment and showed him the target object. The entire experiment took place in approximately five minutes total time. Considering the high strangeness of the target object, and the essentially total lack of restriction on the possibilities at the outset as far as the subject was concerned, it appears that the correlation of the subject's drawings and description with the target constitute a highly significant result. The results of the four-experiment technology series are summarized in Table 3. These four experiments clearly indicate that the remote viewing channel can be used to obtain information about mechanical and technical apparatus, in addition to the geographical and architectural information which had been obtained in our experiments previously. in these present experiments the subjects were not technically oriented as to the possible types of targets that might be encountered.
