(S) 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) The remote viewers impressions in this session showed a moderate degree of target correlation. The principle shortcoming in this session is RV "noise" generated by the, remote viewer himself in an attempt to analogize his target images with memory and fantasy. The remote viewer was in a very good mood prior to the session. He was able to relax and set aside all other concerns of the day and concentrate on the task at hand. The remote viewer was generally satisfied with the results of his session. He understands the problem he had with analysis and feels that he will have to undergo a learning process to overcome this. 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 draw- ings made by the viewer reference his impressions of the target site. At TAB B are photographs of the target site. At TAB C is a post-session interview.

But, I can't seem to get up and stay there. Just keep coming down. #66: Okay. Describe. . . your images. When you were outside. #10: (Not audible). . . round (not audible) top. Sense something like a (not audible) toy or some- thing, I don't know. I don't seem to get anything; its just blank. #66: Okay, they have left the target now. They've left the target. #10: Very confusing. #10: That. . . I was thinking of a . . . circular. of connections. This was like a cone of some kind. A fan-shaped cone. (not audible). . but round shaped. Diamond shape. This is the one that's confusing. I could not identify it with anything. It was just there. And then I would see other shapes which seemed to be joining in on it. It was like a rounded cube of some sort. And I could only see, at one point this side or this side. I couldn't see back here. The impression was like. . . a tall. . . that appeared to be in a. . . at first I got a tear type form . . . You know, it looked like a . . like a (not audible). . . effect. (Not audible).

(Not audible). . . I. . . at first I saw a. . . what appeared to be headstones in a cemetery. (Not audible). . . Then I thought, well maybe I'm not morbid, it may be a hospital room, emergency room, hospital. Near a hospital, near a jail, or some place (not audible). #66: You got negative feelings about the area then. Are you saying then that . . . #10: These didn't seem to be in the same area. They seemed to be different. Disassociated with what I . . . I kind of got two. . . completely different impressions (not audible). . In One, it seemed less. #66: Okay. #10: It was there for a while. I saw a . . . what appeared to be a skill or a shape of a skill. #66: Um hm. #10: And then I left the area. #66: Okay. #10: And then I started picking up the colors. Whites, blues, greens. Even some. . . a. . . dark, very dark blue. If you were looking down in some deep water. #10: A tank or a pool. But I couldn't see what it was in. I could never get the shape of it. I tried looking back at it and I just couldn't . . When I moved away from it, it just kind of dis- appeared. #66: Okay. #10: I couldn't get it in something. I couldn't get it in a container.

Even beyond the impression was only for a second as if I were approaching to the end of a very bright light somewhere coming from a dark area. #10: It was like going through a tunnel. And I saw the light and it kept getting lighter and lighter and then it disappeared (not audible). #10: (Not audible). #66: Okay. #10: Because these things were (not audible). My attention kept being diverted. And then this would come and go, come and go, come and go. And, as we figured out, I was getting an impres- sion of several different things and I could never really tie it in. (Not audible) Like that cube of some sort. It could have an awning over it. This could be a tiered building. This could be gravel. I couldn't. . . all I could see was this circle. . . #66: Um hm. #10: And, generally, they kept a . . . the same things kept coming back.

I couldn't . . . it was a very large part of a trail. . #66: Okay. #10: My initial impression was that I was looking at a, you know, a store window with a lot of little things. I'm looking at some paintings and maybe those paintains (not audible) the bright vivid colors. . . . But it was kind of (not audible). I did see colors.

But the other thing. . . was very busy like. . . (not audible). . . all white. Almost like a stepping back and start all over. #10: The same thing kept coming back. . . I kept trying to get a fix on an overview. But, I couldn't do it. I could not get to the point . . . once I got. . . when we were talking to go up. . . I got way up. I mean I was flying around a very tall building. #10: I was thinking, I can't see up here. I gotta get back in and then I was back in (not audible) so. #66: Okay. #10: I could have been . . . I couldn't. . .(not audible). #66: No. That's fine. That is not part of the exercise. To tie it to something to make sense out of it. All you were supposed to do is report your imagery and you've done that very well. #10: I would think that I could, you know, perhaps tie it in to something on my own. But. . . it was very. . . a. . . the colors were so vivid though. I was really amazed. At how blue the blue was and the greens. #66: Well, you've done very good here. Is there anything else you want to add? #10: I'm just concerned about the cemetery. I don't know anything about a cemetery (not audible. . (not audible). . incarceration. . or something, I don't know. Well,its not exactly a #29 sketch, but. . . I'm curious, this thing really does puzzle me. I don't think I could add any more to it. #66: Okay, then that'll do it.

(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) #10 was generally happy with the results of this session. It provided him with enough feedback to validate his experience. He wants to do more sessions so that he may improve his "resolution" and learn to avoid analytical interpretations of his mental images. 3. (S) #66 and #10 seem to work well together. #10 expressed his appreciation for the participation of #66 in his experience because he felt that #66 helped to guide him in the remote viewing process.
