INTERVIEWER INSTRUCTIONS
In this interview, you will be attempting to gather information bearing on the use of remote
viewing in the intelligence community.
Attached vou will find the questions to be asked in the interview. You should begin the
by noting that all information, particularly the respondents’ rdentrty, wrll he treated
as confidential.
Ymi should beein the interview by stating your name, clearance, and affiliation.
After
^uringcon^denthhty^ you should provide a brief description of the reasons for conducting
S inl"iews, describing bo* the origins of the work, including program tranrfer and the
ensuing congressional mandate. You should also note the program evaluation ts b
g
conducted by the CIA in conjunction with a not-for-profit research organization.
Once you have provided this background information, you may proceed to the^internew
questions
Twelve general questions are presented.
Please try to work through each of these
ques ions in turn.
The early questions focus on background, the middle questions on process,
and STe final questions on evaluation.
To help you follow this structure one intended to feed
the discussion objective,
it might be useful to ask the person being interviewe
o
evaluation until the end of the interview.
Once you ask a question, allow the persons being interviewed to answer the question m their
own terms.
After they have finished you might want to follow-up on their answers. You
should only ask follow-up questions when the answer provided initially was not clear.
Please sketch out the answers provided in the space below the question and prompts.
Note,
you should record only what the interviewee says not you impressions.
If you are unsure
about a point, ask the interviewee only after you have finished working throug
t
e ques ion
and prompts.
It should take you about ninety minutes to complete this interview.
All material should be
returned to Dr. Michael Mumford at the American Institutes for Research.

INTERVIEW REPORT
STAR GATE OPERATIONAL USE INTERVIEW #1
DATE: JULY 7, 1995
CONTEXT:
The Unit Commander in the organization had not previously used the services
of remote viewers. A single tasking was his only experience in
Star
information.
The decision to use remote viewers was in part based on contact w th the Mar
Director and awareness of publicized incidents where remote viewmgs we e
used in pdtce cases.
The primary motivation for use of the remote viewers appears to simply
have been to try out a low cost approach that might pay off.
TARGET:
The target in this case was a person rather than a site.
The target person was
suspected of potential involvement in espionage.
The primary evidence bearing on
is
assessment was access, finances, and reported comments of which the most important
evidence was financial data.
REQUEST:
The remote reviews were asked to provide a variety of information about the
target person.
The requested information included descriptions of the person, hkely travel
locations, and events occurring during travel.
Four, sequential, apparently
independent
remote viewings were obtained.
NATURE OF INFORMATION:
The four sequential viewings were provided and
accompanied by reports.
The information provided in these reports included both verbal
descriptions and drawings. A high degree of agreement was not observed among the; four
remote viewing reports.
Furthermore, the narrative descriptive information was provided in
broad, highly ambiguous terms.
USE OF INFORMATION:
The information provided by these viewings was not held to be
useful in any operational sense.
The reasons stated for reaching this conclusion were:
1) the
information was too broad and too vague to direct relevant observations:
2) crucial elements
of the case, particularly financial concerns, did not appear in any of the reports, 3)
e
information provided could be interpreted in too many different ways; 4) hits were often
stereotypic given the available cues in the tasking; 5) there were a large number o
demonstrably wrong conclusions.
Given the preceding reactions of the user, no attempt was made to use the information
provided by the remote viewers.
It did not in any way contribute to the actions taken in the
case of interpretation of other available data.
It is of note that the data apparently were used
objectively without forcing them into preconceptions about the case.

Interviewer Material
MERITS RELATED TO OTHER SOURCES:
It was noted that the users relied more on
other sources of information (e.g., financial, human, etc...) than the reports of the remote
viewers. The viewings were, apparently, discredited due to the number of inaccuracies and
failure to identify known key aspects of the case.
UTILITY:
The remote viewings were not held to be of substantial value due to the inaccurate
described above.
The user noted however, that would be given further consideration use of
remote viewers if the "situation were desperate, no costs were entailed to the user, and the
viewers were more intimately involved in the case for some period of time."
It was further
noted that remote viewers could be viewed as another source of manpower.
In the case at
hand, however, the viewings proved of no practical value.
