As part of their analysis process INSCOM is now res~ ponding to a select number of cleared consumers, including the CIA and the DOD Iran Task Force. Work is done on a request basis. Army's goals are to determine the veracity of PSI claims and if found to be plausible, establish parameters of operational accuracy, reliability and repeatability. The US Air Force has also developed good results in several cases. SG1 Inherent in the US interest eved to be many times greater is the need to assess Sovie than our own. SG1A 4. (S/NOFORN/ORCON) DIA, Army and Air Force intelligence are working to establish a coherent program of sufficient duration to settle to our own satisfaction pertinent PSI issues. Such a program should take from three to five years and is low cost; e.8-, Army budgeted $150K for FY 81. DIA has agreed to act as the focal point for the interested organizations, and con- tracts will be joint. -This approach will serve to insure close coordination and information sharing, while allowing each element to maintain needed con- trol of its scarce resources. 5. (S/NOFORN/ORCON) Army's program has been reviewed by the Surgeon General for compliance with appropriate regulations and statutes, as well as by the Army General Counsel for legal ramifications. No serious problems surfaced and their guidance is being strictly followed. In mid-1979, the Under Secre- tary of the Army and Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineer- ing ordered a special ad hoc panel to review and analyze past PSI work. The panel was composed of scientists, engineers and doctors, and deliberately in- cluded several who were avowed "non-believers". The result, in the view of DIA and Army, is a report of negative tone which is somewhat flawed. There are a number of unresolved questions and unfortunately the report received no out— side analysis or comment. To compound the problem, the review panel itself was split into distinct pro and con camps. The most significant result is that the USDRE ordered curtailment of all Program VI monies, but posed no objection to continuance of non-R&D intelligence applications efforts. 6. (S/NOFORN/ORCON) US Government involvement in this field is very sensitive and is closely monitored by Congress (House Select Committee on Intelligence -- seems favorably disposed); the Director, CIA (Deputy Director for Operations and IC Staff -- also favorably inclined); and the National Security Council (evidently favors). 7. (WU) A great deal of interest and work is going or outside government, in what appears to be an upsurge of serious research. Increasingly, top quality talent is turning to what they consider a new frontier of science. In the United States, Dr. Robert Jahn, Dean of Princeton's School of Engineering, is a good example of the caliber becoming involved.

The psychic was provided the latitude and longitude and was told it was an R&D site. *Two of the more striking correlations are: - The huge rail mounted crane. - The presence of metallic gores which comprise a sphere (or spheres) buried underground. *Available vugraphs clearly show these.

INFORMATION PROVIDED TO PROJECT OFFICER: o Type aircraft. o Names of two crewman and duty station (Oceana NAS, VA). o Fact that aircraft disappeared several days previously on a flight from Lynchburg, VA, to the Pennsylvania border. INFORMATION PROJECT OFFICER GAVE TO PSYCHIC: o Xerox picture of A6E copied from Jane's. o Names of crewmen. o Stated mission of located crew and aircraft "somewhere in the world." RESULTS: o I feel like I'm on home turf and...its not big and jagged stuff, its low stuff. I feel like I'm in the Appalachians." o "Its like I'm in a small valley...formed by ridges. And the ridge on the right has the...big knob and the little knob." o "The name Lynchburg out of nowhere, while I was looking for terrain." Question: "Which direction from Lynchburg? Answer: "I want to say northwest." SUBSEQUENT KNOWNS: o Aircraft had crashed just northwest of Lynchburg (see map). o As psychic said, both crewmen were killed. o Psychic's map analysis after the session pointed to a place about 15 miles from actual crash site, o Site was almost directly on the Appalachian Trail, at a place called Bald Knob (the only "Knob" to be found on a map sheet which covered thousands of square miles, Proper map analsis would probably have led searchers to Bald Knob, rather that 15 miles off, but this is rational speculation. NOTES: o A second psychic arrived too late to participate fully, and without formal protocol, was asked to psychically "dowse' the map sheet. He arrived at a point six miles from the site. o Participants were asked if they had had any previous information whatsoever about the missing aircraft. None had, although it had been reported missing in a short Washington Post newspaper article some days prior, o Psychic provided a mass of detail describing the crash site, terrain, state of crew and aircraft, etc, and as with all sessions, was tape recorded and later put into j For Releane 2004/06/29 a GIALRDR9G-O0788RO00Z00025000@2 category.

Coordinates were unknown to the psychic as well as session monitor, and were not read or shown during the test. TARGET: o Bridge in mainland China, selected by the project officer from a "Series 200" map sheet. Target was one of a large pool of mixed targets, which in- cluded civilian, military and "nothing" (e.g., a point in the middle of the Yellow Sea) variety. RESULTS: o ",..A rather high bridge type structure.,.base of it being high arch shape things." o "More like an ordinary type railway suspension trestle bridge." o "I feel a bank. The edge of one side of the bank is too regular, I want to say it is too regular, that its got a levee or polder along it." NOTE: o Psychic correctly named the type target. o Subsequent look at the map revealed that the bridge did span a "levee" with that being the word used on the map sheet. o Given scarce personnel resources and available intelligence it was not feas- ible to confirm/deny the type of bridge.
