This report provides documentation of a remote viewing session conducted for the purpose of orienting a remote viewer to the protocol which will be used in the remote viewing training program at Stanford Research Institute (SRI), Menlo Park, California. 2. (S) This remote viewing session provides low to moderate target correlation. The remote viewer was unable to relax and concentrate to his satisfaction. He was unaffected by ambient room noise however. Of particular interest in this session is the behavior of the "outbounder/ beacon". Prior to going to the randomly generated, pre- selected designated target, the "outbounder/beacon" mentally selected an alternate target should he be unable to reach the designated target. Some of the remote viewer's images and impressions match the designated target (a donut shop) while others, especially Drawing #5, match the mentally selected alternate target (a fountain). In question here is whether or not the remote viewer "looked at" more than the target. Not only do we have a "noise" problem from analysis and fantasy but an interference problem from multiple targets. 3. (S) The protocol used for this session and which will be used in later training is detailed in the document, Standard Remote-Viewing Protocol (Local Targets) by Harold E. Puthoff and Russell Targ, November 1978. 4. (S) Following is a transcript of the viewer's impres- sions during the remote viewing session. At TAB A are drawings made by the viewer reference his impressions of the target site. At TAB B are photographs of both the designated target and the alternate target. At TAB C is a post-session interview.

Just relax and concentrate on #11. #7: I'm up in the air about 70 feet. I'm above and apparently behind a building. At least I'm looking at the far edge. A building. I don't know what.

Above it is the. . . is everywhere a black cardboard scalloped on one end held up against a bright sky. PAUSE Some things are hard to describe. PAUSE I saw what looked like a wood plank that warped in the sun, forrest green. Six foot long. That's relative isn't it? Ten inches wide and it appears that it could be any size. I don't see anything for scale. +10 I see. . . see very clear. . against a chrome, shiney background, a knob. A. . . it was like the buttons on some kitchen stoves.

I see a black triangle, point vertical . . . And I thought I. . . saw a white one too. Reverse? I don't know why; I'm seeing a cement trowel. That's what it looks like. I'm trying not to overlay. . . Coming in from the lower left corner, I see the upper right, what appears to be the upper right corner of a frame of some kind. Its light in color against a black background. The . . . inside the frame appears like. . . nothing. Like a black velvet. Very normal picture frame. PAUSE Its gold. . . This doesn't make any sense.

(not audible). . . I'm going to see how high I can get. #66: Okay. #7: I see that funny roof in my lower right corner. I see the edge of that running diagonally from the lower right to upper left. I see clear, light tone in front of it. This is a building and that's probably a pavement of some kind. Something narrow and long off to the left. . . (DRAWING #7). . . It gets to be a black circle there. You know, like (not audible) area. . I see all this clutter. I saw what very dis- tinctly was an old, the metal part of an old snap top purse that . . . change purse. And its brass or gold, probably with a black pouch. +14.25 I don't know. I'm not up anymore. At first. . . But I'm seeing like. . . an allen wrench pattern again. #66: Let yourself concentrate and relax. Think about #11 now and focus on #11 alone. And tell me is #11 inside or outside? #7: He's outside. Facing north. . . I . . . see that circle again. Its bright on his side. He's looking into the dark. He must be facing the. Its bright on the circle. Oh, okay. What'd I say. There's a something standing up behind it. Its got shadows in it. Because of overhang. I have a feeling of. . . Aw, come on.

Whatever it is I'm looking into, that surface I'm into or under, appears to be flat and rather thin, maybe three or four foot thick. Its just a flat. . .

I see, I see. . black with a crack in it. And I see it edging up to concrete in front of the building. Right. . just about four feet away. Can't see the left foot. Why can't I see the whole scene period. I think this is overlay. But I clearly see the edge three feet above my head of corregated. . . corregated fiberglass. I can see light coming through.

I've never seen one from that angle. By +24 gosh, that's what it looks like. It looks like the bottom side of a kitchen faucet looking up at the neck. I. . . see very distinctly, a pom pom shape flower like a dahlia with red and cream. . . Its still there. . . Carnations out in the distance. #66: Back away from the flower and tell me its relationship to the target. Tell me where its located in relationship to the target. #7: Let's see. I see. . . more green. This is a. to my left. . . The flower is gone. But I see green. Close to the ground. Close to the surface (not audible).

Concentrate on it. . . Carefully concentrate and then ask yourself. ask yourself. . . what relationship does that have with the target. Where does that fit in the target. Ask yourself that question as you hold the image in your mind. #7: Well, there must be a lot of garbage flying around. Then all of a sudden I just very quick . . . there it goes again. I saw a strawberry plant. Can you believe that? Its a . . Its a . . okay. I want to say what it looks like. It looks like a clay, a red clay pot with. . . strawberry plant in it.

And don't close your mind and restrict it and say, Oh that's not ture because its overlay. #66: You gotta feel. . . #7: What kept tearing me up was I kept. . . Some of the stuff didn't fit, but I kept flashing. . . and I'm sure that's all it was, I kept flashing to a shopping center that looked like one I was in the other day. #7: So this has got to be . . . some kind of "noise", overlay, and I found myself throwing out a lot of things I felt was part of that scene. #66: That's fine. But you have to express those things. Go ahead and tell me all about it. #7: I saw him standing. . . several times in roughly the same place. That is . . . maybe I felt I was standing there. But this would flash in and I tried to throw it out and get rid of it and then everything would go cloudy and I'd start seeing bits and pieces of information coming in again. And all of a sudden this would come on clear again. #66: Um hm. #7: In that same area. #66: Its a little bit early. . . #7: I just felt I was wasting time with a lot of my worries and I couldn't get rid of it and it would come back.

The loops were lined up as though you could, you know, it was like it was probably surveyed and very straight. (DRAWING) Off to the right. I saw shapes that, if I remember, Hmmm. . . a bunch of these shapes. Several of them and they were coming in. . . These returned several times. #7: I later got a distinct feeling that I was looking at. . . I think I mentioned this, looked like a . . . guard fence. . for flowers. Then I found myself, I remember quite distinctly. . . how do I do this? PAUSE I'm probably. . . I'm probably adding to this. PAUSE This makes no sense. And I. . . I got a feeling there's some clutter here but I couldn't make it out. This shape. . . okay. . . later returned. What the heck. . . Oh. . . Okay. . . Flower pot. PAUSE On several occasions I got a view off to my left. #66: Um hm. #7: And this is part of the, I think this is a part of the overlaying. . . . There appeared to be plants in here. I'm standing about here. Three feet high. That's the way it appeared to be. I'm looking towards a building or something here. I later backed off and looked at the building again. Looked at it again from here; the shape could have been scalloped, I'm not sure.

Very, very bright. I started to mention it and I realized that it was before. . . #66: But that's okay. Its important to mention it. #7: Time. Well, okay, I'm mentioning it now. I tried to get it out of my mind; tried to wipe it away and after it seemed like several seconds, I was able to get it to slowly fade away to the, to the right. This is taking on the look like the garbage I got the last time. I keep seeing things. Unrelated things. Rather than backing off and seeing a total scene and walking around it like 1. . . #66: Its perfectly all right. That, that. . . that seems to be characteristic of the way some people have worked.

I have to do this, draw that. . . perspective, how do you do that? Looking, looking. . . looking up under. . . maybe. . . looks like it was an overhang and it was bright back in there. . . I'm carrying this thing out to the wall, but anyway, that's the way it looked. This was bright and it seemed like maybe there was a door here and I had the feeling, and I don't know if I can do that, but I had the feeling I was seeing. . . the large circular kind of inverted dish shape. That's when I thought I was getting garbage. I got a light shape. . . hanging over here to the left. This door. But it was definitely outside looking up and in. . . . And then, . . it. . . it. . . it was very clear, but it could have been. garbage. PAUSE This how you spell ceiling? #66: Um hm. #7: Did I mention anything else? . . . It was outside. Hmm. . .

(S) Post-session interviews are conducted after the completion of a session to provide the selected remote viewer with the opportunity to express himself concerning his viewing experience. 2. (S) #7 was very happy with the results of this session in spite of its associated problems. He does feel, however, that he should be able to control "where he goes" during the session. He also wishes to be able to relax and concentrate more than he was able to do. #7 is eager to practice remote viewing and develop his "resolution." 3. (S) #7 and #66 work very well together. They have established a trusting rapport. This supportive environ- ment will probably aid in the development of #7's capabilities. Approved For Release 2 11~-RDP96-00788R000900560001-2
