STAR GATE
REQUEST ;
The
DCI
Is requested to construct
a retrospective review and
technical
analysis of the data that has
been produced by the program since
Its
inception
20 years
ago*
This
includes
an
inventory
and analysis of the
files
held
In
the CIA,
while
It administered
the program.as well
as
in DIA.
The
study should
also address compliance with Congressional
direction.
(C)
Response :
The data for this retrospective review,
technical
analysis,
and
compliance with Congressional
direction have been retrieved from current DIA
activity files.
CIA will
conduct
Its own program review.
DIA
Is
not the home
of record for results obtained by DoD Service organizations regarding this
phenomena during the
1970s.
(S/NOFORN/WNINTEL)
During the period between
1975 and
1979,
the following DoD Service elements
supported
psl
research;
— The U.S.
Navy program was
to evaluate
an
Individual’s ability to
perceive remote visual
stimuli.
This effort was
to
answer the question
whether the phenomena exist.
No additional
information
Is
on file regarding
the Navy program.
— The
U.S.
Air Force National
Air
Intelligence Center,
formerly the
Foreign Technology Division
(FTD)
,
Initiated
its program by asking whether the
phenomena existed
and whether
it could
be used
to collect
intelligence.
The
analysis revealed
that further research was required before remote viewing
(RV)
could become
an effective
tool.
As
a result,
FTD began
to explore areas
that would have
a direct bearing
on
Improving the application of RV to
Include
the effects of feedback and effectiveness
over distance.
In addition,
FTD
focused
on the former Soviet Union
and
Initiated attempts
to replicate foreign
experiments.

(MIRADCOM)
had Stanford Research
Institute
(SRI)
under contract from August
1977
to
1978.
The work was done under the sponsorship of the Missile
Intelligence Agency
(MIA).
The objective of the MIA program was to determine whether selected
Individuals
could
interact
and
influence,
by mental
means
only,
sensitive
electronic equipment.
The extension of MIA' s effort was related to the
general
question concerning the existence of the phenomena.
Under the
division of labor
in the Army GRILL FLAME project,- MIRADCOM had responsibility
for developing
a Remote Perturbation experimental
program.
The project was
to
have been conducted
In two phases.
— From May
1979 to September
1979,
SRI
assisted MIRADCOM
In developing
sensitive measurement equipment for the experiment.
Phase
II was
to
be
another contract with
SRI,
possibly involving human test subjects.
— The MIA portion was
to
be passed to another MIRADCOM element
(the
Missile
R&D Laboratory).

Its
Interest was
RV,
and
it sought Immediate applications of the phenomena, by targeting
SRI viewers
on dally field exercises.
In September
1978,

(S/NOFORN/WNINTEL)
During
the period that DoD Service organizations were involved,
DIA els®
pursued some
aspects of psychoenergetics.
Its activities were restricted,
however,
to
aspects clearly related
to threat assessment and Intelligence data
collection.
DIA contracted research with
SRI
to train Individuals to do RV
and supported attempts
by experienced
remote viewers to collect intelligence
on former Soviet
sites of operational
Interest,
(S/NOFORN/WNINTEL)
The joint program between DIA and USAINSCOM began
In
FY
1981.
Although
it may
appear that DIA and
INSCOM research lines diverge,
both organizations were
following their respective missions
and both expanded the already Identified
research lines.
A chronology
is
as
follows:
—
In
FY
1981,
the DIA program looked
at ways
to Improve the reliability
of RV data,
assessed
foreign research,
began work on countermeasures,

to
Input

Additionally,
efforts were begun
to develop
a comprehensive

USAINSCOM,
on the other hand,
was looking for ways
tS l!p!ovi tE quality of data from its
in-house capability,
researched audio
analysis,
and means. of targeting remote viewers,
— The
FY
1982 research was, primarily
an extension of the tasks begun
In
the previous year.
One new area was Initiated,
however,
Involving one of the
most difficult problems
in RV research—how to evaluate RV-derlved data.
Although evaluation of RV data had been
investigated for many years,
this was
the first
identification of evaluation
as
a separate
and
special
task.
—
All
but one of the areas researched during
FY
1983 were follow-on
efforts
to
the
FY
1982 work.
The one new task was
an attempt to develop
a
search methodology for finding lost
items or people.
This was clearly
an
effort to
Improve the intelligence application of
RV.
— The follow-on program covering
FY
1984 and
1985 filled the gap
between the end of the Joint Service Program and the U.S.
Army 5-year program.
The lines of research were extensions of work
in the past
fiscal year and
focused
on research needed
to enhance RV to the point where
It could
be
applied to intelligence problems.
Training,
evaluation,
and
search were
emphasized.
An additional
effort concentrated
on screening
and selection of
personnel.
(S/NOFORN/WN INTEL)
In January
1985,
Project GRILL
FLAME was transferred to OIA and was placed
under the
staff cognizance of the former Directorate for Scientific and
Technical
Intelligence.
Moreover,
a 5-year psychoenergetics program
(FY
1986-1990),
using Army medical
research and development funds authorized
by the then
U.S.
Army Surgeon General, was begun
at SRI.
The new program
emphasized the medical
and biological
aspects of psychoenergetlc phenomena.
The stated objectives were
to document that psychoenergetic phenomena
are
real
and reproducible,
to determine the underlying mechanisms,
and
to bring
psychoenerqetlcs research
Into the mainstream of human performance research.
To accomplish these objectives,
SRI
began work to identify explanatory
neurophysiological
mechanisms
and specify phenomenological
properties.
In
addition,
the Army medical
program sought to determine physical,
physiological
,
and psychological
correlates of RV and
to develop optimal
application
strategies.
(S/NOFORN/WNINTEl)
The
FY
1991
Congressional
language directed DIA to initiate
a new program
in
anomalous mental
phenomena
(AMP).
As
a result,

Is drawn
from SAIC supplied data.
SAIC
drew three primary conclusions from the overall
efforts of the external
Cognitive Science Program R&D effort with
SRI
and SAIC for the period
1973 to
present:
— The evidence for
a valid
information transfer anomaly
(anomalous
cognition
(AC))
meets
all
recognized statistical
and methodological
criteria.
This means
the anomaly cannot be explained by poor experimental
design,
Incorrect protocols,
faulty analyses,
or fraud.
The magnitude of this anomaly
is considered to be medlum-to-large when compared to other known human
SG1B
behaviors.

SAIC-suppl led data shows that the applied research
focus for the period
1973
to present was
as follows:
— Regardless of the
final
use of any research
(applications
or academic
understanding), thdproblems
are
similar.
To
improve the quality of the
results,
It
Is necessary
to:
-
Identify
Individuals
(called receivers ) who possess
skill
In AC.
- Develop training methodologies
to
Improve AC performance.
- Create protocols that are optimized to elicit AC.
-
Invent sensitive
and efficient analyses of AC data.
(S/NOFORN/SG/LIMDIS)
These topics
and their supporting activity
(e.g.,
data base construction)
are
included
in what
Is defined
as applied
research.
(S/NOFORN/WNINTEL)
A summary of applied basic research results for these four topic areas
are
as
fol 1 ows
:
~ Approximately
1 percent of the general
population
appears to meet
strict
statistical
criteria for exhibiting
a robust AC ability.
— While
a number of training methodologies have been developed,
CSL
observed only limited
success.
However,
In analyzing the results of
a number
of receivers,
they found that these receivers do not lose whatever ability
they had at the
start.
— Without completely understanding the mechanisms
involved,
CSL
developed
a number of research
and operational
protocols that appeared to
be
consistently successful
In
both domains.
(S/NOFORN/SG/LIMDIS)
SRI/SAIC * s basic research focus
for the period
1973 to present was to develop
an understanding of the physical,
physiological,
and psychological
mechanisms
of AC by:
—
Identifying
Its
source.
That
Is, what
Is the
"stuff"
that
is

Items
are defined

The research by CSl has been based

a transmitter-receiver model
as
an underlying
assumption.

SAIC’s summary of the results of basic research
for these three topics
Includes:
— During the CYs
1092-1994,
CSL may have discovered the source of an AC
signal.
CSL found that the strength of the AC signal
appears
to be
proportional
to the total
amount of "pure"
Information that
Is available
at
the target
site.
From information
theory,
this
Is technically called the
total
change of entropy.
If this result can
be confirmed
by ongoing research,
target selection could
be considerably enhanced.
For example,
we will
know
what target types will
yield
Information from this brand of "sensor."
In
addition,
this could provide
a method of selecting potential
viewers.
If the
information of
a particular target remains constant,
then
It could be possible
to correlate differences
In the quality of data from various viewers with
Inherent talent.
—
CSL
Identified
a number of speculative theoretical
approaches that
could provide
a transmission mechanism for
a variety of AC signals.
Including
the
total
change of entropy.
Detailed models
are difficult
at this stage
because
AC,
while statistically robust
and behaviorally large,
Is
unreliable
in comparison
to other physical
systems.
However,
they developed one
heuristic model,
Decision Augmentation Theory ,
that organizes
a 20-year data
base
for
a specific class of experiments.
— Although CSL has not yet been successful
at identifying physiological
mechanisms,
recent experimental
data from the former Soviet Union and similar
experiments conducted
In this country suggest that the peripheral
nervous
system may be susceptible to AMP Influence.
If this result can be confirmed.
It could provide
supporting evidence for the existence
and the verification of
effects purported
for the so-called
"PHOENIX"
Project.

REQUEST :
The DCFs declassification committee should review the history
and
nature of this program to determine what parts of
It may be declassified and
be converted
Into an open-world activity.
(U)
RESPONSE :
In March
1994,
and prior to the receipt of Congressional
language
to review program documents
for declassification,
the DIA*s Technology
Assessment and Support Activity
in concert with the SAIC’s CSL initiated
a
review of SRI-orlglnated
R&D reports covering the period
1973 through
1989.
As
a result of that review,
45 SRI-orlglnated project documents were reviewed
and
all
references regarding OoD
Involvement were excised
and the documents
declassified.
DIA’s General
Counsel
and Public Affairs Office concurred with
the declassification action
In September 1994.
This DIA Initiative should
establish the precedent
for the DCFs declassification committee to continue
this effort once
the program
Is officially transferred to CIA.
