GRILL. FLAME PROJECT
PROTOCOL
1.
(S/N0F0RN)
GENERA L.
;
This protocol contains the procedure
for
INSC0M GRILL FLAME Project
(IGFP)
sponsored remote viewing.
It
is
in effect
for the period required
to accomplish
the scope
of work.
Remote viewing
(RV)
is an intellectual process by which an
individual perceives characteristics
of
a designated target
remote
in space
and/or time from that
individual.
RV does not
involve any electronic sensing
devices
at or focused at the target
site,
nor does
it
.involve classical
photo
interpretation
of photographs obtained from overhead or oblique means.
The
individual performing
RV
(the
remote viewer)
is provided with
a unique identi-
fier to allow him to
focus his attention
on the designated target.
This
identifier may be stationary
map coordinates,
a specific structure,
an identi-
fiable vehicle
(aircraft tail number)
or
a specific individual
(name,
place of
birth,
age,
and/or photograph),
(he task of
the remote viewer
is
to
desgri.be
designated aspects
of the specified
target.
The
task
is achievable
1?2,3,4,5.
No drugs or hypnosis will
bo used
in this
RV protocol.
2.
(S/N0FGRN)
M I LITAR Y OBJECTI VE:
It
is
the objective
of this protocol
to standardize the process of remote
viewing so that
it may become an established task
in
the spectrum
of
intelli-
gence and information gathering functions and
for
target, acquisition application
3.
(S/N0F0RN)
MILITARY
APPL ICATI ONS :
Remote viewing can be used
to:
(1)
target
on key enemy military
individuals
from
covert agents to key battle commanders;
(2)
detect
the change
in state of milita
units;
(3)
monitor hostile military
LOCs.
US Army personnel units,
materiel
and operations are vulnerable to hostile
RV.
Countermeasures must
be devised
to
eliminate
or reduce this vulnerability.

APPR OVAL
H ISTORY:
The Commander,
US Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command
(DARC0M)
approved,
in principle,
the
US Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity
(AMSAA)
involvement
in project GRILL
FLAME
in April
1978,
In May
1978,
the Assistant
Chief of Staff
for Intelligence
(ACSI)
accepted
lead responsibility
for GRILL
T l-AME applications.
Effective 14 January 1981,
by approval of Under Secretary
of Army,
INSC0M became
the only active operational
GRILL FLAME element
in the
Army.
Program management
for GRILL FLAME was transferred to Commander,
INSC0M
effective 11 February
1981.
0ACSI
DAMI-ISH remains the Army
Focal point
For
policy matters and interface
at
the national
level.
Overall DoD responsibility
resides with
the Defense
Intelligence Agency
(DIA).

(1)
Target Selection :
Training
targets are developed
in response
to
operational needs,
the basic training package
includes
the use of geographical
coordinates as well
as the modificat ions outlined in paragraph
7 below.
In the
case
of geographical coordinates,
a target pool
is constructed by an individual
not involved in interviewing or remote viewing.
A target pool consists of a
group of similar sealed envelopes which designate
a specific target by geo-
graphic coordinate.
Prior to the beginning of
a session,
an envelope is
randomly selected from this target pool by the interviewer.
At
this time,
only
the coordinate
is provided the
interviewer who then reads the coordinate to
the remote viewer
at the beginning of the session.
Other information available
concerning the target
is revealed only after the session during the post-session
analysis.
A specific target
is presented only
once
to
the remote viewer.
(2)
Remote Viewer Session
P reliminaries :
Before
a
first
RV session
is scheduled,
the remote viewer
is orieiVtedTto' the procedure to be followed by
the interviewer.
The remote viewer needs to understand that he or she should
state raw perceptions;
experience has shown 1
that specific definitions are
quite often wrong while the initial
raw perception tends to be correct.
Remote
viewers are always encouraged to express
their feelings and
ideas
for enhancing
all aspects of the
RV process.
(3)
Remote Viewing
S ess ion:
During
the 30-60 minutes prior to the agreed-upon start
time of
a
session,
the interviewer offers some encouragement
to the remote viewer
in the
manner
of a coach giving
a pep talk
to his team.
During the
15 minutes immediately before
the session
the remote
viewer and interviewer are generally silent.
Experience has shown
(unpublished
data)
that this "quiet time" enhances
the
RV process.
During the 15 minutes the remote viewer and the interviewer
t unction as
a team.
The interviewer provides encouragement with words of
reassurance that the task
is,
in fact,
possible.
At no time
is
the session
conducted by
the remote viewer in
the absence of all other persons.
If the
remote viewer does not have any immediate sensory
images,
the interviewer applies
no pressure.
Rather,
the Interviewer reassures the remote
viewer
that they have all the time
in
the world.
When the remote viewer has
an
image,
experience suggests
(unpublished data)
that
the remote viewer often
intellectually transports himself
or herself
to the remote target
site.
The
interviewer,
in conversation with the remote viewer,
may then suggest
that the
x emote viewer intellectually move around
at
the site and describe the site more
l uily
(e.g.
,
buildings,
terrain features,
people,
activities,
machinery,
etc).
If
it appears to the
interviewer that
the images are
in some way
contradictory
or inconsistent,
the
interviewer may then attempt clarification
by asking questions
in order to verify
what- the remote viewer first
described.

The
RV session
is tape-recorded and pen and paper are available
for the remote
viewer
to sketch his perceptions.
Experience has shown 1
that
some remote viewers prefer to combine written and oral descriptions,
while some
prefer to work sequentially.
The average RV session
is approximately
30 minutes and never
exceeds 60 minutes,
not to include drawings,
etc.
(4)
Post-Session Analysis;
After the
RV session
is over,
the
remote
viewer
and interviewer obtain specific information about the target and compare
their session results with this data.
The remote viewer and the interviewer
discuss
the session
results.
The purpose of
this post-session analysis
is to
provide the remote
viewer with
the satisfaction of knowing how well he or she
did.
b.
Operations :
The elements of
an operational remote viewing session,
.in
general,
are similar to the elements of the training remote viewing session.
The sequence consists
of the following:
(1)
target
selection;
(2)
remote viewing
session preliminaries;
(3)
the remote viewing session;
and,
(4) post-session
analysis and reporting.
(1)
Targe t
Selection:
1 argot selection
or tasking is initiated by
a requestor through USA INSC0M staff where
it
is subsequently passed to the
IM5CQH,
ADCSOPS-UUMINT ,
Special Actions
(SA)
Branch.
Within
SA,
the
task is
logged by the operations officer and assigned
to a project
analyst.
The project
analyst working with
the requestor creates the specific
task EEI.
Subsequently,
the project analyst requests the operations officer schedule RV sessions against
the task.
(2)
Remote
V iewing Sessi on
Preliminaries:
This aspect consists of
two phases:
(a)
project
analyst-interviewer preparation;
and
(b)
interviewer-
remote viewer preparation.
(a)
Projec t Anal yst-Interviewer
P reparati on:
Prior to
a session
the project analyst and the interviewer discuss the purpose of
the session,
specific EEI
required,
line of questioning most appropriate for successful
mission accomplishment,
and whether the session will be monitored.
(b)
Interviewer-Remote Viewer
P reparation:
This phase
of
the
sequence is similar
to. that
useef in
a training RV session.
The remote viewer
is oriented
to
the procedure
to be followed by
the interviewer;
reminded that
he/she should state raw perceptions;
and,
encouraged
to express
their feelings
and
ideas
for enhancing all aspects of
the remote viewing process.
(3)
Remote
Vi ewing Sess ion:
This phase of the sequence
is nearly
identical
to the training RV session with
the exception of the following:
(a)
The project
analyst and/or the requestor may monitor the
RV session from the control room and provide on-line guidance
to the
interviewer
