TARGET: WASHINGTON SQUARE (NYC), We .entered the grounds through an entrance arch, that opens onto an enormous expanse of lawn, perhaps twenty acres, The caves are located at a depth of ~ 150 ft and are entered through a small building having a long flight of steep Stairs, Once underground, we walked through a maze of rock-lined tunnels that lead eventually into a series of rooms lined with calcite sta- lagtites and Stalagmites, frosty white and beige crystals formed like icicles, The entire cavern is illuminated by small electric light bulbs attached to the walls. After a forty-five minute walk, we exited the caves through a large metal door giving access to a square cross- sectional shaft with stairs leading to the surface, bias fae hs ee?

She concludes with "rt see a lot of gold and metal and silver-gold glow all over--not much sound--very silent factory--scary-~few people--very special,” As is often the case, one observes that the basic gestalt of the target site is cognized and even experienced, while specifics are mis- interpreted, New Orleans-California Two experiments carried out between New Orleans and Menlo Park, CA, constitute the latest members of the long-distance series, five experiments of which have been completed to date (all reported here), These were carried out with the two subjects who had participated in the New York-California experiments, During an extensive cross-country trip, we arranged to conduct two experiments between New Orleans and Menlo Park, CA, one each way, The Menlo Park subject was not told in what city the outbound experimenter was located, He knew only that the outbound experimenter was in the cen~ tral time zone, For the first experiment (subject in Menlo Park) it was agreed that at 12:00 noon CST on a particular day, the outbound experimenter would choose a target location in his city by random protocol and remain there for the required fif- ‘teen minutes, During this time, the subject in Menlo Park would tape-record his impressions and make any drawings that seemed appropriate, (The is ic A SBE cc A i it ie Ve el Sar rr ARPA net was not available because of computer not malfunction.) The target choson by randomized entry intc a New Orleans guide book list was the Louisians Superdome, The outbound experimenter tape~- recorded the following description as he Looker at the building, “It is a bright sunshine day. In front of mec is a huge silvery building with white dome gleaming in the sun, It is a circu- lar building with metal sides, It looks like nothing so much as a flying saucer, The targe! jis in fact the 80,000-seat Louisiana Superdome stadium,” The subject in Menlo Park described the target as "a large circular building with a white dome." He also expressed feelings of wanting to reject what he saw because the dome looked to him "like a flying saucer in the middle of a city." Some appreciation for this perception can be obtained from Figure 9 in which the target is shown, together with the sketches that the subject made, The most recent experiment in this series involved a subject in New Orleans viewing acti: jties of a group of three people known to her, at a location in the Palo Alto/Menlo Park area 2000 miles away. Her principal impression was of a “overhang of a building over their heads . , also a round gold rim around a sunken de- pression,” The target, a bank building is sho in Figure 10, Principal features of the targe include a dramatic building overhang, and a rectangular concrete depression with a fountai in which the water comes out of a circular gol rim, The subject also reported "some kind of fake china flowers mushrooming out of the de- pression,” There were four orange lamps mount ed on the gold rim, Finally, she reported "there was a projectile coming toward David (c of the outbound experimenters), Like a ball « frisbee, as if Elizabeth. (another experimente} has tossed him a ball.” Actually the experi- menters had found a paper airplane lying on t! ground and had thrown it back and forth for some period of time, In fact, the photo of 14 site taken at the time of the experiment show: the airplane between them. This is one of the few times that a remote viewing subject has pr ceived rapid motion at the target site. The results obtained to date in the long distance remote viewing series appear to be roughly of the same caliber as those obtained local remote viewing experiments, The descri tions not only contain correct information beyond that expected by chance, but also show remarkable detail and resolution, Although e tensive data must be taken before a final con clusion can be reached, we are led to conelud at. this point that there is little, if any, d gradation in quality of perception as the sul ject-target distance is increased from a few -li- Approved For Release 2001/03/26 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000200080008-6 . ne ee ee ea erry aOR EN Ter erect beet ai fniaicrie wiaiMle emtabas ican, aie: ER ae cb Sana ian Da aE in tts ij cee a eMart hie BE A! ow “i

In addition to attempting to determine whether psi phenomena are generally compatib with the laws and content of physics as pres ently codified, we are also examining the li of specific physical theories in modeling ps phenomena, The areas of physics we have und consideration as potentially relevant to mod ing psi phenomena include: the possibility remote viewing is mediated by extremely low- frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves ; 127 possible significance for remote viewing of Bell's theorem!® and the Einstein-Podolsky-R ROTO IR TEE OE RPE TR RE ELE REN, ERNE A TG AEE FE ETE errenenmermenes car enema hs Approved For Release 2001/03/26 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000200080008-6 espa heady penn EA eh ae ani apy aa Ail NA lin RL Ae ims aan is ane
