he would come
back
to
this
later,
but as
he randomly
elevated himself,
he noted the area was under high security and had
a cyclone
fence.
He could read the troop markings and buttons
on
a Colonel
and then said
he could come back
to the security and military designations.
In reality,
the
Operations Area of URDF-3 has
4 security fences, not just one cyclone fence.

trace at the

He concludes
that the trace
indicates
the pulse of someone who
is
nauseated
-
that's why it caused nausea
in
him.
He was asked
to indicate again where
the telephone poles were and
to map
out the perimeter of the area.
He drew
in
the telephone-pole grid with
a circle
of trees
around
the grid
(see
Fig.
2).
There
is
no telephone-pole grid like
this
at or near URDF-3.
Upon spotting

a gantry crane
(for very heavy
lifting)
in
the vehicle area
(Fig.

if
he could tell
where
they took
the heavy things from the low-boy trucks.
This question
led
him
to
a
look at
the area near Building
in
Fig.
1.
He saw a sign
in front of the
building
that said something
to
do with Zone
4.
He
said he would get back
to
that but never did.
When describing Building
1,
he
said
it had three
stories above-ground

plus
a basement with meteorological
equipment on
the flat roof and
then
looked
inside
the building at the top floor.
He started
to get too specific as
to what
he saw inside
the building
and was
reminded
that the
type of thing the experi-
menters could
best check him on was
the outside appearance
of the buildings.
They asked him
the dimensions of Building
and
he
had
a very difficult time
establishing
them when

on

They decided
to
stop the experiment for the day but asked
to
look
at the target at different intervals
that evening.
(Due
to
the difference
in
time,
all
of his viewing during this formalized part of the experiment
- on
this first day
-
had been at nighttime locally at URDF-3).
^m^fsaid
he was
beginning
to labor anyway and,
"if you .start laboring
at
it, you start mocking-up things."
He was
then reminded that
he was going
to draw
a perimeter,
or would
he rather save that for tomorrow.
He said
he
would rather save that since
he's starting tu labor
a
bit.
It was unfortunate
that they didn't pursue the perimeter earlier
in
the day because
it certainly
has
a unique
shape.
They quit at
p.m.
Summary of the
First Day
The controlled
session taped at
SRI
lasted
a
total
of about
hour
and
52 minutes.
It consisted of the experimenters defining
the target as
a
"real
target"
as opposed
to
a sample target.
With the use of several maps,^|^
^P^was given coordinates
of the target and
told
that
it was
a scientific
military research and
test area about
to
30 miles
SW of the
Irtysh
River.
When
the coordinates were given,
immediately biased
his
thinking
that
this
area was
related
to the Soviets'
space-launching and recov-
ery areas.
Since
this
is
not true,
he may have inadvertantly and unknowingly
biased himself
into an
incorrect target relationship.
si
[described
the target
as
a military and scientific complex
about 30 miles
SW of
the
Irtysh River but there
is
nothing
in
this description
that wasn't already given
to
him.
He
then gives what
is almost
a
perfect de-
scription of someone's first
look at the Operations Area of URDF-3.
He describes
it as
low one-story buildings
that are partially dug
into
the ground giving
the
effect
(as
seen
at ground
level)
of very
short,
squatty buildings, whereas
they
are actually fairly roomy on
the
inside.
Unfortunately,
as
he
later describes
the specifics
of buildings
in
the scientific complex,
he never again mentions
earth-covering of partially-buried
buildings..
It seemed
he had
the perfect
description
of URDF-3,
but never came back
to
that again.
In fact,

tends
to get bogged down
in specifics and then
says something
like,
"I'll
come back
to that,"
but seldom does.
He said
the military complex
looks
like
it's
been there for two to three years when
in fact
it's been
there
for over
a decade.
At one point when describing the specifics of the
"radar/
communications
building,"
he demonstrates
that he could possibly be led
to
see
what the experimenter wants
him
to
see.
t
*
He sees some landmark- type
items
that simply don't appear at or
near URDF-3.
They are:
•
1)
the road from the river
to the target area
passes
through
a
gorge,
2)
a
500-ft.
tall
antenna,
3)
an outdoor
pool
(60'
x
150'),
4)
an array of telephone
poles
surrounded
by trees
about 500 yards -SE of the
scientific complex,
5)
an airstrip on
a
plateau
12 miles NW of URDF-3,
6)
a
small
village
NE of URDF-3,
7)
a city 60 miles
SW of URDF-3,
8)
a cluster of pine
trees west of URDF-3,
and
9)
a three-story building
(with
a basement)
as
the dominant building
in
the scientific complex.
It doesn't seem fair
to grade him on landmark-type objects he failed
to
see at
the target because
his attention may not
have
been directed
on
them.
However,
it does
seem fair
to question
the existence of those objects
he claims
to have
seen.
The most positive evidence of valid
remote viewing
for the first day
(1
hour and
52 minutes) was
his
initial
view of the target as "low -One-story build-
ings
that are partially dug
into
the ground..."
Unfortunately,
he never con-
sidered
that description again.
The only other piece
"of positive evidence

day was

To summarize
the first day's session ^HjjWaccurately described
the
location
and
type of target
(but that was
given)
but failed on
the layout
and type of buildings.
He tended
to spend
too much
time
on specifics only
to
say,
'I'll
come back
to
that,"
but seldom did.
He successfully evaded drawing
a perimeter of the area
even though he was asked
to
do this
twice.
This was
unfortunate because
the shape of the perimeter
is
unique.
My conclusion
is
that nothing positive
to validate
remote viewing resulted from this first day's
session.

Hal
Puthoff talked
by telephone
that evening at 5:25 p.m.
to give him further instructions
for his scanning
that night.
He was
told
that
there were some specific areas
he
had mentioned
that
the experimenters were most
interested
in.
Specifically
he was asked "for an exact,
as
possible,
drawing
of the crane
(that was
in
the
rear of Building
1)
and exactly what
its
relation-
ship
is
to Building
1."
Further,
they wanted
to
know "anything about Building
in
relation
to
the surrounding buildings,
like whatever forms of connection
or
communication
or transportation
that exists
between Building
(the main building)
and the ones
that are nearby."
They especially wanted
"as much detail
as possible
on
the gantry crane and
its relation
t'o 'Building
1."
He was
told that
the second
thing
they were most
interested
in was
the security fence around
the perimeter.
They wanted any detail
on
that
-
even
a drawing of exactly what the fence
looked
like.
It was emphasized
that
the
crane was really
top priority,
especially what
it looked
like
in relation
to
the main
building
(Building
1).
