ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report was to provide a stringent analysis of
the experimental methods-and procedures used by the leading researchers
in the area of Remote Viewing. The result is an even handed, thorough
analysis of the principal U.S. research on the topic. The findings set
forth by the authors can best be said in their own words; "Research
conducted and reported to date has a number of inaccuracies,
inconsistencies, and methodological weaknesses sufficient to cause
concern over its validity. If all results are accepted without question,
on balance, the fidelity of the remote viewing channel appears to be of
limited value."
Effectively, these results indicate that the research efforts
evaluated in this report must be considered as exploratory. Definitive
research on remote viewing is still to be accomplished. The authors
have set forth a series of research design recommendations that if
followed by future research efforts should enable a truly scientific
assessment of remote viewing applications to intelligence collection to be
SG1I
accomplished.
