(S) GENERAL
(U)
(S)
This document describes proposed DARCOM research
on remote perturbation
(RP).
The term "remote perturbation"
is used herein to signify an intellectual/mental process by
which
a person perturbs remote sensitive apparatus
or equip-
ment.
RP does not involve any electronic sensing devices
at,
or focused on, the RP agent.
No drugs, hypnosis,
special
sensory
(visual, auditory or olfactory) or proprioceptive
stimuli,
liminal,
or subliminal,
electrical,
or electro-
magnetic, will be used in this
investigation.
(U)
The Commander, US Army Materiel Development and
Readiness Command
(DARCOM), approved in principle the US Army
involvement in what
is now known as Project GRILL FLAME,
in
April
1978.
In May 1978,
the Assistant Chief of Staff for
Intelligence
(ACSI) accepted lead responsibility for GRILL
FLAME applications.
Overall DOD responsibility resides with
the Defense Intelligence Agency
(DIA).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL
(S)
BACKGROUND
(S)
There have been many reported accounts of phenomena variously
known as telekinesis, psychokinesis, teleportation,
etc.
Most of these
accounts are clearly derived from carefully staged tricks which are
revealed whenever they are studied under controlled and well recorded
conditions.
There are a few, however, which describe serious research
by. reputable investigators.
Included among these are experiments in
which the subject attempts to perturb, by mental processes alone, the
outcome of an otherwise random event.
This kind of remote perturbation
experiment
is appealing
in that
it involves no subjective interpretation
-
the results may be expressed entirely in probabilistic terms.
Appendix A
contains
a. summary description of these experiments.
As an overall evalua-
tion of this data base,
it
is unlikely that the apparent RP effect
is
simply an artifact of selected reporting by the laboratories involved;
even
if one were to assume that there were ten unreported nonsignificant experi-
ments for each reported significant one,
the entire expanded data base would
still show significant effects with odds against chance of better than 2000:1.
(S)
There are, however,
two characteristics of this data base which
pose problems.
First,
the effects
are rarely stable with one individual's
RP effort,
the quoted results being averages over a number of individuals.
Secondly, the physical environment of the random event sources and associated
electronics was not discussed in any detail for any of the experiments,
so it
“ POSSiMe that
S°me
°f the effects
be the result of normal and possibly
subtle electronic interference.

SCIENTIFIC MERIT
(S)
Scientists have been slow to admit that such phenomena as RP may
be consistent with the formalism of established science.
The interpretation
of quantum physics
is flexible enough to encompass
a number of seeming
