STAR GATE OPERATIONAL USER
INTERVIEW
“ORG. E”
USER POC: Ca, et al
DATE: 14 July 1995
Operational Task : Most tasking requested Information about future events, usually the
time and/or place (or location) of a meeting. Some tasking requested additional
information describing a person or a thing, e.g., a vessel.
In one instance, after
previous “blind" requests had yielded no useful Information, the user met with the RV s
and provided a picture and other relevant Information about an individual in hope of
obtaining useful Information about his activities.
Motivation for
SG PM briefed RV activities and his desire to
expand customer base.
User was willing to “try" using SG capabilities since there was
no cost to the user and, given the very difficult nature of user business, “grasping at
straws" In the hope of receiving some help is not unreasonable.
Note that this
organization had tasked the program In the ‘91 time frame but had not continued tasking
In '92- '93 until briefed by the new Star Gate PM.
t Igor Attitude : DIA POC was openly skeptical, but was willing to try objectively.
Members of the organization he supports (Org. E) had varied levels of belief, one
individual appear very supportive noting the successful use of psychics by law
enforcement groups (based upon media reporting).
Evaluation of the tasking was
accomplished collectively by the DIA POC and three other Org. E members.
Results - Value/Utlllty :
None of the Information provided In response to any of the
tasks was specific enough to be of value or to warrant tasking other assets. SG data
was too vague and generic, information from individual RV’s regarding the same task
were conflicting, contained many known inaccuracies and required too much personal
interpretation to warrant subsequent action.
User would be more supportive of process
If data provided was more specific and/or closely Identified with known information.
In
one instance, a drawing was provided which appeared to have similarity with a known
vessel, but information was not adequate to act on.
Bottom lin&l no action ever taken
as a result of Star Gate Information.
Future Use of SG Services :
User would be willing to use SG-type services in future.
However, in current budget environment, demonstrated value and utility are not
adequate to justify funding from user resources. Would not fund in any case unless
program could demonstrate a history of successful and useful product.
User believes
that RV’s working directly with his analysts on specific problems would be beneficial In
spite of the obvious drawbacks.
Individual quoted above suggested recruiting RV’s
from other sources, noting his belief that the government RV's may not be best
qualified, l.e., have best psychic capabilities.

(2) SAIC Letter No. 94-168 dated December 20, 1994
(3) SAIC Project No. 01-0230-03-3880
Dear
This letter is to inform you ofthe current status of our progress on disposition of equipment
under subject contract and to request farther guidance based on additional information. SAIC has
contacted and setup an appointment with the moving company that Ms. Barbara Stephens,
DCMAO, had recommended. We understand that they will provide a written quote to DCMAO
on the cost ofpackaging/crating and shipping the equipment to the Government facility.
This
quote should be provided by the end of the first week in February. SAIC wall be required to have
one individual at the site while the equipment is packed. The moving company will provide an
estimate as to the time required and SAIC will provide to you an estimate for the required time.
The moving company did not anticipate a problem with delivery of the equipment to the
Government facility by the end ofFebruary.
I have enclosed a revised equipment list.
This list replaces the one provided in the reference (1)
letter. As you will note we have organized the equipment by DECAL number and deleted on item
from the list.
This item was tagged as a piece of equipment when it is actually software;
therefore, we have deleted it from the equipment list.
I have enclosed a separate list of the
software purchased under this contract, The majority ofthe software was purchased under the
previous contract and transferred to this contract. As you can see the software versions are not
the current market versions. SAIC requests disposition instructions for the enclosed software:
Abandon in place or transfer, when possible, the site use license to the Government, SAIC would
require reimbursement for the time it would require to contact each vendor to transfer each
license. We will provide an estimate for this service if requested.
