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
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
text editor.
It
is
a three-foot cubical TV monitor with a
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
directly under
the monitor.
The subject provided an exceptionally coherent description
of
a'

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
by
the outbound experimenter
(R.T.)
to drill holes
in
a piece of wood
for
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.

information was
that
the experimenters would make use
of
some laboratory
equipment
at
SRI.
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.

The instruction tape was played
to
the subject
by
the other
experimenter
(R.T.),
and all oubsequent interactions between himself
and
the subject were recorded.
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(H))
was produced by
the subject who described
the
object
as
a "game 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.
We
do.

Project
Atlas Remote Viewing
A second remote-viewing experiment has been carried
out on
a client-
designated target
of interest,
a European R&D
test facility^
The subject
for
this
experiment
(S-3) was given map coordinates
in degrees
and minutes
and
told only
that
the
target was
a
technical facility.
The subject's
response
follows.
A map accompanying
the description
is
shown
in Figure
"First view taken
at 11.00
a.m.
,
EST
(27 Aug
74)
The given coordinates
gave
a view
of
a rather flat environment
composed
of what
looked
like sand dunes
covered intermittently
with
a scrubby grass.
The wind was blowing,
and
the view was
at night
(approx.
12 hours difference)
.
The view was hovering over
a road running NNW,
and
there could
be seen
a fence
to
the
right,
and beyond
that
a series
of rec-
tangular buildings in rows.
There appeared
to be
a network
of
roads
and
lots
of wire fences.
A strange
orange circular plat-
form could be
seen,
but not identified as
to purpose.
There
appeared
to be
tall
towers
in the distance,
and around one
tower-like structure there were
a lot
of
lights
and activity.
Second view
taken
at
12.25 a.m.,
EST
(28 Aug
74).
Again,
the wind was blowing.
The sun was
reflecting off
the
ground,
and
it
seemed dusty.
There appeared
to be huge
fenced
perimeters
(steel
fencing?).
There are hills
or mountains
to
the south,
and also some high-power voltage
lines.
There
is
a marsh
(?)
to
the NNW.
Comment:
Tiredness
at
the second viewing seemed
to
inhibit
mobility
in
the view.
Also,
due
to
the complexity
of
the structures
at
the site,
it
is difficult
to progress without
some
form of
feedback.
It
is possible
that
the coordinates
suffice
to
locate

Four-State Electronic Random Stimulus Generator
As discussed
in detail
in Progress Report
//3,
the determination
of
the state of
a four-state electronic random stimulus
generator comprises
one
of
the
three screening
tests.
The target
is
in
the form of one of
four art slides
chosen randomly
(p
=
1/4)
by an electronic random gener-
ator.
The generator
does not indicate
its
choice until
the subject
indicates his
choice
to
the machine by pressing
a button.
As soon as
the subject
indicates his choice,
the target slide
is
illuminated
to
provide visual feedback as
to the correctness
or incorrectness
of his
choice.
Until
that
time both subject and experimenter remain ignorant
of
the machine's
choice,
so
the experiment
is
of
the double-blind
type.
The machine choice,
subject choice,
cumulative
trial number,
and cumulative
hit number
are recorded automatically on a printer.
For
the purpose
of
screening,
each subject
is required
to
complete
100 25-trial runs
(i.e.,
a total of
2500
trials).
Since Progress Report
it 3,
an additional subject
(S-4)
has completed
the required number
of
runs.
The machine screening data now stands
as shown in Table
4.
