REMOTE VIEWING (RV) SESSION CC97
#14 This will be a remote viewing session (edited for
security).
Alright #19.5, the time is now 1130. At the beginning of
the session, I showed you some overhead imagery of the
Embassy compound in Iran. I want you now to go to the
area designated as Area "A," which is the Embassy building
itself. I want you to enter the building, and describe
your perceptions.
+02 #19.5 I'm going in the back door; getting the impression that
I am...ah...entering the large high ceiling foyer. There's
a large, decorative...ah...lamp hanging in the center of
the foyer. There's ...ah...two large paintings on the
opposite walls to my left and right. Coming in the back
way, I'm...ah...walking under a overhead staircase. I have
a feeling that there's.. .ah.. .probably 10 or 12 people in
this building. There's ...ah...
Access to...ah...two formal floors, what appears to be a
basement through a stairwell type group of stairs and...
ah...also an elevator type of thing. There's two...ah...
+05 two people in the basement area. I get the impression
that...ah...they're down there going through... going
inter-
through filing cabinets. See three separate rooms inter-
onnected, and there's ...ah...ah...kind of a profusion of
iling cabinets and desks, and these two people are going
through... through the filing cabinets, file by file. One..
one of these people is...ah...is a...one of these so-called

here, and they're ...ah...they're writing, marking the
folders in writing. I think all of these people are

It's an extremely expensive rug on the floor. Appears to
be a light blue and beige color mix. On a finished floor,
.it's not...not a wall-to-wall carpet, it's just a rather
large carpet, almost wall-to-wall. There's ...ah...like a
wainscoting design around the outside edges of the wall,
and there were some ...ah...some kind of decorative objects
that apparently been removed for some reason from the wall.

of this building for some reason. T ere's a comm center

quite a few documents that were shred d in the comm
center. Just shredded all over the floor. -BLLt-t+ e ..I

folders.. .the folders on the floor are marked; appear to
have red tabs of some sort. There's a lot of folders wit
yellow tabs that ...ah...that were apparently stacked to b
put in the shredder but didn't make it for some reason.
That means they're all thrown into one corner. That's
about it.
#14 I have no further questions. Can you think of anything
else that might be of importance?
#19.5 Ah...there was real fine wood paneling in the room with
the...ah...with the two conference tables, dark wood
paneling, and...ah...some kind of curtain wall, there's a
wall with curtains in front of it, you know, like
decorative curtains. And a...ah...relief map of...ah...
Iran. That's it, I guess.

that's Page 1. Maybe that'll help, whether or not I was in
the right building, pretty sure I was. I got sort of a view
of a...I have a lot of trouble recalling this session, for
some reason. I get a view of a room...
#14 The next thing you described was...ah...10-12 people in the
building. Then you went on to describe two people in the
basement.
#19.5 OK. I got an impression of like ...ah...I was looking through
walls and there was a...a group of three rooms interconnected,
a vault type door, and these folks were...ah...where these
two "X's" are in this room, and they were... there was a lot
of file cabinets and dust in this room. They're just going
through folders and stuff there, you know, like sort of
picking things out of folders, going through like a last
minute check type thing, it was...it...ah...strong impression
of a small fire or something had occured in the third room
back. Just a strong impression they're going through file
'
s Page 2 , i s e asemen , i ere is a basement,
That
looks like a basement. I guess the reason why I get the
impression of a basement is I don't sense any windows there.
Ah...floor covering in these three rooms is orange. I don't
know if it's carpet or tile or what it is, but it just struck
me as being orange. There's another room I saw, had two
conference tables pushed together. Standard long conference
tables pushed in. And...ah...there was like ...ah...people
sitting in chairs.. .wish I could draw. Four people sitting
here ...a guy sitting here, and there's stacks of folders,
and they're going through all these folders, and there's
stacks of folders on the table, and there's just big piles
of papers and stuff littered around on the floor. And I had
an impression that this big room here had pictures on the
wall and windows around, and they're just.. .they're also
going through papers and folders and things, and...ah...
compiling folders more t
writing and everythi And there's...it's either this room
or e e o her room had wainsco in . ink this is
room that had the paneling, this dark wood pane
the wall where this arrow is had...ah...was covered with a
curtain and had a map...a relief map of Iran somewhere ne4r
it or behind it. And there's a fourth room, on Page 4,
there's another room that...ah...I got an impressio ...
ne with the
conference tables pushed together, but it had wainscotting,
you know what I mean, around the sides where it was only
half paneled, and the walls.. .only one wall had windows, this
being the wall with windows, and there were like decorative
objects that had been removed from the wall, like there was
a:..a...a...kind of an outline of dust or something and left
form of these decorative items. And there was a large rug,

patern rug, that fit.. .almost fit the room, like this.
And it was...ah...blue and tan, predominant color tan
with ...ah...the border being the edge being blue, and
decorative designs in it being blue. And there was a
desk at one end, and there was two...two people in this
room that were ...ah...also doing something with ...a...
some boxes or something, putting papers in boxes or
whatever, and they were like sitting by this desk. I
don't really have a feeling for much furniture in this
room, for some reason. (Mumble) an open room with
some ...ah...you know, furniture accouterments, like a
couple chairs, couple small tables. That's really
about it, not much to sketch.
#14 Ah...you describe some type of comml area.
#19.5 The impression I had of a comml area was...ah...Page 5.
It was like a gray.. .some kind of a gray shredder
sitting on a table, and all this.. .this shredding stuff
was all over the floor by it, you know, just a mass of
shredded stuff on the floor, and there was a stack of
folders on the table next to it that had...ah...yellow
tabs, and there was open folders laying on the floor
over here with all the shredded stuff, but they were
empty, and they had red tabs, and there was like a desk
over here, and had stacks of folders on it, you know,
just stacked every which way, like folders that had been
stacked to go into the shredder but didn't make it, and
there was just a big pile of folders and papers all over
in this corner. And back here, against the wall, I get
a...the impression of like some racks, just a corner of
some equipment racks; that's what made me think it was a
comml area. And...ah...you know the standard clipboards
hanging on the wall. There was some kind of equipment
cabinets here. I don't know how to spell shredder.
And...ah...there was some boxes too that were ...ah...on
the... scattered on the floor here, which somebody was in
the middle of doing all this and...ah...didn't get
through. And that's about it, I guess.
#14 // Alright. Later...later on you said you had a feeling
that ...ah...the hostages were being kept in a warehou
type building and some other buildings.
#19.5 0K. I get a distinct impression of...ah...like the corner
of a large warehouse and right next to it were two houses,
well, there was a group of houses, but I had the distinct
impression that it was behind a...kind of a...I don't know
what to call it. If I call it a school, and the reason
wfiy it appeared to be a...like a...ah...I don't know,
classrooms of some sort, two or three classrooms in a row,

two classrooms for sure, side by side in a row, and behind
that, I got the impression that there was a...OK, like, if
I drew two blocks on this Page 6...if I drew two blocks,
and this is a very ...I don't know how to explain why...why
this impression occurs. If I did this, and said, where
these arrows are, and said these are classrooms, OK, it's
like I was looking through this building. Behind it was
a warehouse, and then a...ah...house, and a house, and a
/ house, you know, this sort of effect, right, your row
" houses. It's like these ...ah...these last two houses and
this warehouse... this area _oo warehouse is the
hostages are. It's -s't"an impression I had for som
reason. This. ot this view, and there's ward
here or some ing, I just got that impress
#14 You see any'inm on the?Lap-:t.t t-' correlates to that; or
the map, the photo?
#19.5 Ah...it's either ...ah...it's ...strong impression for these
like.. .these two buildings in the corner of this one...
yea, the back corner of this one. I don't know what this
one is. These apparently are homes or something, these
two, last two.
#6.5 Ok #19.5, it's my understanding that during the session
there that ...ah...you had a feeling where the hostages...
ah...may...ah...be at this particular time, and...ah...
you made a drawing here, Drawing No. 6, OK, and...ah...
you've got a building with some classrooms, a building
that you've labeled warehouse, and three other smaller
buildings that you've labeled just house, and...ah...
#19.5 Right, three that I.could see, right, and they all looked
to be the same.
#6.5 OK. Ah...for the record, arid ...ah...for...ah...the
requestor, I'm going to identify by area designated the
buildings that you're talking about on...on another
photo which I'm not gonna show to you, OK.
#19.5 OK.

rear of buildings E and D, so for the record, the customer
will be able orient himself to what you have described to
me. I also want it to be stated that you're not sure
exactly which way you've looking at these buildings, is
that correct?
#19. Right. I'm not sure about which direction I'm looking at.
But I am...I am perceiving them through a building that has
o classrooms back to back.
#6.5 OK. Fine. And I think that will help the requestor itself.
Ah...why do you feel that there are hostages ...ah...what'
your sense that tells you there's hostages in those
particular buildings?
#19.5 OK. When I couldn't find any hostages in uilding A /I
said, OK, I'll just hover here over build ng A and can the
compound and see if there really are host es i his
compound, and my very next impression was to ing through
these two classrooms at this layout of roof tops with a
strong impression that there ...I had a flash there's two
groups of hostages; one group essentially being.. .they
being separate into two groups - civilian and military.
Military being to the left, civilian being to the right,
and the two house type buildings struck me as being
hostage containment areas as well as the corner of this
arehouse building.
#6.5 Is the warehouse type building is the one where you felt
the military were?
#19.5 Right. I just felt like th e...th y've -een broken into
two distinct groups; one i mil.ita ( mble). I don't
know why, it's just an im ession; t got an impression.
#6.5 OK. I don't have any other questions, then.
