PREFACE
(C)
This report reviews government
sponsored research
in the field
of psychoenergetics from 1972
through 1988.
The work was
supported by CIA
and the Department
of Defense
(DoD)
.
Most
of the DoD program was paid for
by various
intelligence organizations.
The research currently under way
(January
89)
will
be written up and published as
an addendum to
this
report
as will
subsequent research.
(C)
Most
of
the research was conducted at
SRI
International
in
Menlo
Park,
California and the author
is
indebted both
to
the professional
and clerical
staffs
for their assistance
in compiling the data and making
it ready for publication.
(C)
This document,
while
large
in
size,
attempts
to cover
a
set
of
reports
that would occupy at
least two complete file drawers.
So,
if
a
reader
is sufficiently interested
in a particular
topic,
there are
probably several
individual reports
on that
topic.
(C)
This report
is a summary of psychoenergetic research that has
taken place over the past
16 years.
The aspects
included
are:
funding
source and amount,
topics covered,
research results,
applications
for
intelligence and difficulties encountered.
In addition foreign research
and countermeasures are reviewed.
Considering the funding
level,
time and
the many difficulties encountered,
the project should be considered
a
success.
To realize this one need only look at what we knew
in 1972 about
psychoenergetic and what we now know.
The growth has been phenomenal,
it
must
be added,
however,
that much remains
to be solved by future research
should sponsors be
found.

SECTION
1. THE EARLY YEARS—CIA (U)
(S/NF) The Central
Intelligence Agency was
the
first government
organization
to
investigate parapsychology as
it pertains
to
intelligence
collection.
Their work was
initiated
in
1961 when
the Office
of Technical
Service OTS
(then the Technical
Services Division)
became
interested
in
ESP claims.
Under
the auspices
of Project ULTRA,
Stephen
I.
Abrams,
Director of
the Parapsychological Laboratory,
Oxford University,
England,
reviewed parapsychological research and prepared
an article stating that,
at most,
ESP had been demonstrated but was neither understood or
controllable.
After
that
effort,
the field
lay dormant
at CIA
for
years
.
(S/NF)
In
1972 Russell
Targ,
then
a
SRI,
cont&cted
the CIA
to discuss
paranormal
abilities.
He proposed
a demonstration
of psychokinetic
abilities
at
SRI.
For
the demonstration,
a
subject with psychokinetic
abilities was
taken
to
a
super conducting shielded magnetometer
and was
able
to visibly disturb
the output
signal by placing his attention
on
the
interior of
the magnetometer.
This was followed by
an additional
few days
of work
in August,
1972,
where further demonstrations
of psychic ability
were presented.
The cost
for
this effort was
$874.00.
Another work order
for $2,500 was
then
issued to develop
a complete research plan.
The
result was
a $50,000 contract
for
an expanded effort
in parapsychology.
It was
at
this
time
that
the work caught
the
interest
of
the Office
of
Research and Development
(0RD)
at
the
CIA.
(S/NF)
As part
of
the expanded effort,
a remote viewing
(RV)
experiment was conducted
in the summer of
1973
that
further stimulated CIA
sponsored
investigations
of parapsychology.
Geographic coordinates
of
a
vacation property were given to an SRI
subject.
Having no more
information than the coordinates,
he described the
site as being
a
military-like facility.
As
the coordinates were
for
a vacation cottage,
the response was believed
to be
incorrect.
However,
the CIA went
to
the
site several months
later
to investigate
it more thoroughly and discovered
a sensitive government
installation
a few miles
from the vacation
property.
The subject was then asked
to view the
interior
of
the
installation.
When all
the data were reviewed the quality
of
the
experimental results was judged
to be mixed.
