TRANSCRIPT
REMOTE VIEWING (RV) SESSION CC57
TIME #66 This will be a remote viewing session (edited
for security).
For the past few minutes now you've been studying
the picture of Clair BARNES. Relax and concentrate
now. Focus your attention on BARNES. Focus your
attention on the area where BARNES is located.
Relax and concentrate, and describe this area to
me.
PAUSE
+07 #36 I had an aerial view.
#66 Tell me about this view.
#36 I saw ..tall buildings there.... building. I was
looking 5-10 square mile area...city like scene.
I was getting all kind of detail. Tall building.
Then, I found myself street level looking down
a ramp. I came...I expect to see an underground
garage, but (mumbling) this ramp it was a tan
colored masonry arch pointed at the top. Very,
very, heavy door. Very large wood, wood. Looked
like a pattern 4-5 inches thick. Appears very old.
Bazzare like shops on the left of the street.
#66 Ok. Very good.
+10 #36 I went inside. I went inside. There's..uh..just
inside the doors kind of dirty and unkept. Big
..uh..support column, I guess you would say. Arches
at the top. I think he's in a room straight ahead
and to the left. I got...I got a glimpse of him
asleep,..uh..left side.
#66 Ok. Focus in closer on BARNES himself. Focus in
closer. Tell me more about the room where he's
located. Get a real good focus. Take your time.
I will wait.

#36 Appears to be a very old world. Might have been
elegant times past. Hasn't been maintained. On
one wall paper like covering. It would be very
expensive if it were new. The room wall shapes
is complicated with projections. It's not square
or rectangle. It's got all.... s...got the room
all broken....very high ceiling.... extremely ....
extremely high.
#66 Tell me a little bit more about BARNES.
#36 ..... Uh.... left side......got cover pulled over
part of his head. His face is exposed towards
me. His right hand is....is sticking out from under
the cover, hand closed, palm down just in front of
his..... face. I don't see...I don't see anybody
else in the room. I can't see the .....rest of the
room behind me. I will look at that.
#66 How do you get into this room?
#36 I..uh..I find myself aware of being just inside
the big door. I found out where his room was and
there's a door...if I go straight from the big door
there's a door on the left facing to the right,
but, I didn't go through it. I just ...I just became
aware of being in there.
#66 Where is this room in the building?
#36 It's below grade. It's..uh..I guess you call it
basement level. No one is in the room, unless
they're behind me. I..uh..haven't been able to
see that.
#66 Stand very, very well focused... stand in the room
and walk from the room to Exit the building. Tell
me about the route you take to do this.
#36 Ok. I go through a big door from the room. Got
a lever type handle on it instead of a round fancy
...I'm in a hallway.... open space....giant fat
columns right and left about 10 15 feet from ...out
from the wall from where I'm standing. Big fancy
reddish masonry type tile blocks in the floor.
I'm between columns. There's a wall straight ahead.
Hallway going straight away from me to the left.

The door I examined initially is to my right.
About 15-(mumbling) 16 feet away. Some old
stuff, debri is something against the wall
It gets more so, thicker as you go towards the
big door
#66 As you move towards the big door.....
#36 I feel a vehicle could....small vehicle could....
I don't know as they do.....but, I believe could
get in...ok..ok..plaster,,-something seem to be
real bad shape on the ceiling near the door. I
should see somebody else.-
#66 Don't worry about people right now. I want you to
work on the description of the area. We'll work
on people in a minute. Move to the big door now.
#36 I'm already there.
#66 All right. Move through the big door and describe
what you see.
#36 Oh! Hell (mumbling) I tried to see how the big
door opened. I couldn't open it. I'm outside.
Looking up... incline. The doorway frame.thing is
old and fancy. Walls on each side going up tanish
and have pattern on them. I think they may be...
+25 may be tile...... street. There's a few trees there.
About 30 feet high on the street. Shops..uh..
down the street to my right. There's something
funny across the street. Something important...
keeps fading. There was something. When I looked
up around I thought I recognized...I mean..uh..
I don't know. It could have been a Coco-Cola sign.
It's something.
#66 Tell me about the shape of the building itself.
The building you explored and have now come out of.
Turn and look at that building and tell me about
its shape.
+27 #36 It's..uh..tan and old and it's about-height,
height....it's about..uh..hell...high ceiling.
I can't see (mumbling) floors. It must be
70-100 feet tall. It's not the tallest building
in the area. There's a taller building opposite
side of this building, two, three blocks away, and
turn to the left. This building ..... I have a

feeling of a public owned building. I don't know.
Uh.....
#66 Ok. Keeping your eyes on this building.... keeping
your eyes on this building moving very slowly up
in the air and look down at it from overhead so you
can tell me from overhead what it looks like. Move
very slowly and take your time. I will wait.
#36 It's ...uh..I see a flat roof and there's a wall
on the top to keep you from falling. I don't
understand it. The flat part of the roof looks
black. I would have thought....I would have thought
in a hot area that they would be more reflective.
#66 Ok. Let's remember to not try to figure out what
you're seeing. Let's report what you're seeing.
Move out a little bit higher now and tell me the
shape of the building.
#36 At first it was chimney like protrusion .....three,
three, three of 'em...the building is..uh..half
again longer than it is wide....I..my....
on one of the narrower ends ..... looks like-front
is (pause) ....... that would be the front.
I see how you get there. If I were standing in
...if I were coming out the big door, looking up
a ramp, tur[T right to the corner. Turn right
again. That's the front. Come up the ramp, turn
right to the corner, turn right again. Fancy.
Great big front.
#66 Ok. Now, at this time I want you to focus your
attention once again on BARNES. Focus your attention
once again on BARNES. Move to the area where
BARNES is located and this time search the area for
more people.
PAUSE
#36 Huh ..... why (mumbling) looking at that door .....
Ok (mumbling) some people... inside the entrance,
I call the front .....
#66 Tell me about these people.

#36 There's two military types near the entrance. I
think in further there's a counter-desk like..
..uh..and there's a man there that is bare headed.
+35 Looks like a uniform, but, but, I don't think it's
military. There's three or four more people asleep.
I, I, I, I don't see them. I'm just aware that
they're behind the, the guy at the counter-desk
and I think below. I'm trying to see them, but, I
don't know who they are.
There's a..there's a (mumbling) around here.
Awful bright lights. I don't know. I don't feel
good about it. It's on the..I think it's the
floor above...above street level. This is.-the...
#66 This is the area you are describing with the people
is the floor above street level?
#36 No. I think they're..I think they're behind and
below the man at the desk.
#66 The sleeping people?
#36 Yeah. I was wandering around, walked into the
room at....walked right smack into a real bright
spotlight. I can't see why ..why they got it on.
There's nobody here
#66 All right. Focus your attention now, again, down
.to the area where BARNES is located. Down in that
40 area, in and around BARNES area. Search for people
in that area.
#36 Ok. I come to his door, turn left.. .you know
what I think that hallway to the left goes
straight ahead when I come out the door has got
to be going under street level. Let me....let
me...it's so long, I don't think...I don't think
(mumbling) that big. Down to the left is..I guess
it's a guard. One sitting and the other standing.
OH! that's where they are. OK. I went down the
hall to the left (mumbling) further to the left then
to the right. Right in there is where the guards
were. As you go on down the hall..uh..people were
sleeping on my right. I don't know who they are.
It's cold down here.
1166 Ok. I have one other question, now. I want you
to move up on to the roof. Move up on to the roof.

#66 Move up on to the roof and face towards the front
of the building. Move up on the roof and face
towards the front of the building. Tell me when
you are there.
#36 Now, I'm above the roof about 10 feet.
#66 Ok. That's fine. Move over to the edge so that
+43 below you is the front of the building.
#36 (Mumbling)
#66 All right. Now, ask yourself the question,
"How do I find this building?" Tell me. Describe
to me how I would find this building. How could
I find this building?
#36 I've been asking myself that question.
I don't even know what city it's in.
#66 What are some of the things I could use to find
this building?
#36 There was something across the street from the
,ramp that... felt... locked it in.... I forgot what
I it was (Mumbling) disappeared on me. But:.,. see
slight silhouette two tall buildings... three or
,four blocks away. Straight ahead, and slightly
j\,to the left. I'm ...try again.
#66 Relax and concentrate.
#36 I must be going hay-wire. I have an awareness
....It can't be. I have awareness of man made
water fall. Must be about three, four feet high.
#66 Where is this in relationship to the building?
#36 I thought it was forward and diagonally to the
left...,, half mile. That don't make no sense.
They wouldn't.-waste water.-- I-don_'t know if that's

of the building. Looking down now at the entrance
of the building, describe to me, from an aerial
perspective what is just outside the entrance of
the building.

I think (mumbling)just where you get to the othe
buildings.
#66 Ok. Fine. I have no other questions about the
target. It's getting near time for you to draw
now. I would like to give you the opportunity to
add any perceptions that you may have had that you
feel should be reported.
#36 Ok. I tried to get that important (mumbling)
straight up...straight in front of the ramp. I
had feeling it must have been probably a sign..
..uh..like a store or restaurant or something that
I recognized as being perhaps American or western.
It probably advertising something that is American
but popular all over the world. I used the comparison
like a Cocoa-cola sign (mumbling) recognize. Something
I felt ..... gosh ..... this is great... .over to that
sign or whatever it is and...and look at the ramp
and you're there .....but (mumbling).
#66 Ok. Let's sit up and draw the perceptions that you
have had, now.
#36 Uh....I'm simulating city scene with least
building that was very tall.
#66 This is the first image that you h677
#36 That was the first image that I came on with.
I could see this one building sticking up quite
a bit from the rest of them. Uh.. cities and
that building... very tall is in comparison to the
others. Back at the street level and very large
ancient type door to me, arched, very thick wood
door

#36 Inside it was quite dirty and old and unkept,
but.... debri against the wall on either side
but.... room I saw him in.
#66 Ok, Now, is this room immediately inside this
door or is it somewhere down inside ?
#36 Somewhere down to the left. Perhaps I'd better
just discard this page and draw (crumbling of
paper)....
These columns had support charging up from towards
the top. I'm looking down on them this is what
I'm going to draw here with the circles (mumbling)
sheet. Three to fourth door down. I thought his
bed was roughly in this position coming in the door.
When I came out, walked back down the hall I'm
going put dotted.... course that I followed to the
door to the ramp ...I felt his bed was here. I
(mumbling) in this position..... never did see behind
me. So didn't know what was going on.
#66 So, in drawing 3 then, we can see the ramp on the
left side and then moving down, tracing backwards
from the dotted line is two....the room where he
was...and the X that you've marked is kind of your
position of observation as you looked at him in his
bed. Further to the right in drawing three, what is
that?
#36 Two guards here.
#66 Guards. And these guards are on the same level?
#36 On the same level around the corner. I thought there
was some kind of desk or something there... table..
near the one that is sitting down.I don't have to
draw inside the room in anymore detail. It_:.yas,?old and
fancy and maintenance had not been kept up. Must
have been pretty fancy at one time.
#66 Can you give me in just words without having to draw
the inside pf the room, can you give me your idea on
what type of a room was it. What was the room used
for?
#36 I kept asking myself that and was not coming up with
any good answers. Its relative position to the
building..uh..below grade...if (mumbling) been
western I would have thought that it was..uh..just

a (mumbling) or something. And, yet, the wall
had slot of craftsmanship in them which I thought
for a storage vault or something, was..uh..much
too fancy. I thought if it had been a prison of
some type it was...it had been too fancy for that
sort of thing. On one wall was expensive paper,
j silk pattern, very fine, busy pattern. There was
above it and yet, it was done fancy and with a great
deal of skill. It was not just a basement storage
room. I didn't think. Unless they do things
differently than we do. There's no windows.
I saw on the wallsand (mumbling) on the ceiling
fancy, involved patterns that seemed very antique
to me.
a (mumbling) coating down about 3 or 4 feet above
the floor and I thought it was tile, masonry or
something below that. Had a very fancy molding
around..quite large..uh..was support built into
some of these protrusions from the wall with that
same carry over from the columns out here.
Maybe, it might have been columns built right into
the wall with that same pattern. I don't know.
But, I could tell it was support for structure
#66 Ok. I think that it was at this point then, after
you talked about him, I asked to..uh..trece how you
would get out of the building, and you've shown on
the dotted line here how you went out the doorway to
his room, out and around the columns and down to
the ramp, and you talked about that door there.
You knew...I think that you said during the session
the ramp and the doors are so big that you could
probably drive a vehicle in there.
#36 I felt you could drive a small vehicle in there.
I felt if you wanted to...it must have been 12, 14
foot high.
#66 Ok. Fr~:Irn that point then, I moved you up and asked
you to describe the building from above. The whole
building itself from above.
So, then moving to drawing 4 we are working on the
aerial perspective of the building.

#36 There were squares, rectangles, different positions
on the roof. I felt probably (mumbling) chimney
ventilation or something..uh..actually, I think
this wall extends out into here. I felt that I
could walk into all kinds of nooks, notches walking
around this roof. There were trees on the street.
I I don't remember looking to see if there were
!windows in here. I seemed to know there was someth1
arched shape, fancy shaped. There was some ginger-
bread up near the top coming around, but I don't
remember exactly how to handle it.
#66 Ok. In which would be ..... I see you've drawn an
arrow to the front. You were like off away from
the back of it looking down.
#36 I was up here loo"gft5%n that way. I saw some
tall buildings toward the top of the page on my
right Later when I looked from the top oaf the roof
ea straight acro om the front an
some tall buil 1 a distance, straight ahead
and slightly to the left (mumbling). There must have
been a street by here because the thing I was looking
at that (mumbling) to recognize was over here where
I'm going to put the triangle. I thought it was very
important. I can't remember what it was.
#66 Ok. This will be page number 5. When you're ready
tell me a little bit about this drawing. Show me
some of the things here that you are drawing in 5.
#36 This is my tan building. This is the front of
the building. I don't remember seeing this sidewalk
across that street but I was aware that it was a
street. When I was here I was aware that there was
a street here and some trees. There were buildings
over here but I don't know what they were. This
is in the vicinity of that fountain like area that
has a walk or something around it.
#66 Ok. Give me a big area in the word fountain like
thing for the guy that has to look at it.
#36 I thought the waterfall like thing was over in here
somewhere. I didn't see this in relation to that
at one time and awareness was over in here. But I
saw it very clearly.
#66 Ok. Down here give a line or arrow or recognizable
sign or whatever.

#36 There wasn't much more, was there?
#66 No. I want to take a quick look through your
things here. The one we have your first scene
coming down onto a city block type thing
Two. You find yourself in front of a ramp that
goes down below ground level.
Number three is an overview of the ramp to the
left and these columns inside and BARNES' room.
OK.
Then four is an over the top ok. I see the top
of the roof of the building, and so forth and so
on. I see the ramp thing down here at this side.
The number five. You have the tan building being
drawn very small in scale and you have these
streets and the park across the street, and so forth
and so on.
Now what is missing here is that when you entered
the building and you saw some military types and then
you saw a man behind the desk and then later you saw
some sleeping people. Was all this in the same level?
#36 I didn't see the sleeping people. I was aware of
them. I'm going to draw this column here. Top view
there...quite confusing. I don't know if that's
recognizable or not, but (mumbling) what it is.
#66 Ok. So down below in three then, you've drawn
kind of a side view what one of these support columns
look like. Just darken that side a little bit there
so it will zerox. That's good.
Ok. So on six then do you recall that imagery?
Ok. What floor level is this drawing in six here?
You said, I think, above street level.
#36 I don't know. The bright light was above the
street level. This is (mumbling) street level.
It had (mumbling) going up to street level.
#66 I understand. Ok. We'll call it first floor.
The building's first floor. I couldn't follow you
through the building too well. That's why I was
a little bit confused.

(Mumbling) walk around the building there.
#66 Well, yes, but you seemed to go from room to room
without describing how you got there, which is
a problem.
So at the street level we have two guards which
you described are military typeaand then we have
a man behind the counter, and you said he was in
a uniform but different in some way.
Ok. From this area I asked you to think about other
personnel and now you've drawn approximately,
geometrically what the position, but it's actually
on a different floor.
#36 (Mumbling) below. -,it's behind and below. I had
the feeling that hese s airEy"went down to the
(mumbling) the ards an j..y(i..sleeping personnel.
#66 Ok. Can you th n...I wan to give you back..uh..
drawing number hree an ask you.... can you position
other sleeping p el on this?
#36 It's, it's off the page to the right about three
#66 The other sleeping personnel then would be off....
#36 Down this hall.
#66 Down the hall.
#36 Pass the guards.
#66 And off the page to the right. Ok.
#36 I don'tknow if...
#66 Off page three to the right.
#36 Off page three to the right, but I don't know if
they are Iranians or if they're our people. I didn't
get a feel for it. But, there were people there.
#66 Ok. Fine that's good. Anything else you want to
add?
#36 No. I...that's about all I can remember (mumbling)
details.
