REMOTE VIEWING (RV) SESSION D-21
#14: This will be a remote viewing session for 3 September 1980,
mission time is 0830 hours.
All right, #31, the time is now 8:30. You have been shown
photos of a building in northern Teheran. This building is
suspected to be one of the places where U.S. hostages are
now being held. Your mission for today is to go to this
building and tell me if there are any U.S. hostage personnel
there. Relax. Relax, now and concentrate. Focus. Project
yourself to the building.
+03 #31: In a....place........outside corner...wall on my left....
several layers of windows...to my front. In the corner is a
...regular pattern like a...exposed staircase... solid wall,
about 6-8 inches thick, the staircase goes up and onto...
onto a roof. This thing is only two levels high, but...the
+05 wall on my left is three levels high. And under this place,
it's funny like...it's an open, but covered cutaway...
first floor and under the stairs. It's very difficult
structure...
#14: I want you now to go inside this building, and I want you
to feel free to explore this building, and I want you to
tell me if you find any U.S. personnel in this building.
#31: I'm getting signals,-..of presence here..........
I believe-my-signal is that it's...the top rlb-OT- o the
left,-of-the staircase, which I believe is exterior.l~.
s- ircase...and this staircase goes over this cut-out garage
type area, patio.... Now I know where I want to-go .... they
are...they're in the...what I think is._the-'three story side
here's a.......getting window,-but`no door ...and a little
to get zn; wait-a' minute.
##,walk around...some sort of little ledge. I'm tryin'
Not many here, I...the hallway-about three rooms, maybe
four, two on each side of the hallway-to the right of an
interior stairwell-individual rooms...I'm sort of looking
at this structure in a cutaway.,,

#14: All right, I want you now to describe these U.S. personnel
to me.
#31: Keep getting the feeling of the...woman with the short black
hair.. .round face.
#31: Yes, the woman is in the-room on the left, in the end, by
the outside wall...I see her looking down to the roof...see
her there...
##31: A man who has a...long jaw. His jaw, something is...his
jaw is funny...like it's deformed, like he has an overbite,
or his jaw looks very...thick, and underslung. It's not an
injury, it's a facial feature. I think it's the guy that
looks like Lincoln. I think that's why he wears a beard, I
don't know.
I keep seeing her,, though. She keeps coming back to me.
She's in the corner of my mind all the time. I don't know
why I can't get rid of her... This underbite feeling, or
underslungness of the jaw is a very strong feature here, I
don't know...dark hair, and sort of flyaway top, but I don't
know if that's overlay. The, uh, I don't know, across from
Mary is...I think the other woman.....
These rooms are nicely...more civily furnished. I...feeling
that I am in a academic offices or something, rather than a
dorm. Some sort of non-private organization within the offices
which are in this area, maybe for visiting, visitors...
like a dorm setup...but a dorm setup you would see associated
with like ARAMCO as opposed to a university or something...
There's a wall around this place, I can see it on three sides.
And inside the yard.
#14: Tell me about the security at this location.
#31: I have... standing in this yard maybe, a.10-15 foot wall on
my left, and there's some turkey walking in the yard, but I
have the feeling I'm at the back of the building. This
thing all goes round and...this overhang thing goes past
that part of the building. That wire on top...it is...it
is like, uh, like...anti-burglar as opposed to tactical wire.
Something on top of the wall that-when they built the com-
pound for whoever like the Americans, or-they put that in
there to keep the Iranians out. But it's not an embassy
type compound, it's a company compound...old company compound
of some kind. It reminds me strongly of a villa in Nam, it's
a villa type a ere, eep~ng quarters
mixed together. And one guy walking in the...the back, and

#31: going to the other corner. Let me focus for a minute...
..... Turn this corner the building makes a jog closer
to the wall and then has another jog in it. Like it's got
a swollen corner.... There is something that........
I would say that the.....how the hell do they get through
the wall? There is some sort of a weirdness here, the wall
comes around the corner and goes a good ways down the build-
ing, and then it just sort of cuts right into the building.
In other words the main entrance here is isolated from the
surrounding yard...by wall. The wall closes off the door
so you can't- but there's some sort of little wire gate on
the right side, where somebody could walk a Dome grass
inside the compound, and then could walk up towards the door
and then could step through using the little iron gate, out
onto the front porch, or into the cubicle or foyer maybe.
But the wall comes all the way up to the doors...block roof
overhang, something very blocking and flat and this whole
thing protrudes from the front of this structure, which is
accessible on the street...the sidewalk...
There's a feeling the guards will walk around this structure
...infrequently here, they're not too concerned. They're
concerned more about the main entrance here on the street,
and because of that they keep at least one guy inside ob-
serving the street through double wooded doors with glass
panels that swing. They're like swinging doors.
I'm backing up down the main front hall now. It's dark,
and I'm having a mellow warm feeling of a finely decorated
interior. I am moving in backwards, looking at the door as
I leave it...tapestry on the floor...and the narrow, 20 foot
wide and longer foyer with something that's on...zigzags up
my right wall like a...double...double backed wood bannister.
PAUSE
I gotta...focus for a few minutes
PAUSE
#14: I have no further questions. We'll take a pause here for
debriefing.
We're now ready for debrief.
#31: All right. I need my microphone.
#14: You've got one right in front of you.
#31: Oh, okay. Where the heck did I start? Okay, I started by
the cor- an int- what I would call an interior corner of a
building, okay? Of the building, which i.s...and I was in
what I would call also...I, uh... Okay, I got this here...
And this comes out like that. This is what I would refer to

#31: as a structural anomaly that might be verifiable by looking
at it from the outside. This place that I'm drawing on the
right of sketch one...is to the right of what I would call
the stairwell, or the staircase. It's, of course, not as
steep as this looks in the sketch, you know, but now remem-
ber this is the outside of the building. I think that this
place is two stories on the right side here. And the bottom
story, if I had my druthers, I would say the bottom story
was open. That's what I was trying to say, like a porch.
And it had repetitive type thing on it. Like, you know,
pillars, and it was dark. And I felt it might be something
like a...elevated second floor. I don't recall being able to
see through it like it was a drive-through or anything, or
anything like that.
And this floor had- was regular- and had like windows in it.
And I'll write in here open but shaded, because I think it's
open. And what it is I don't know, I did not perceive that
there was like any blacktop or anything out here in the fore-
ground, which would imply that this was like a parking gar-
age or anything like that. You know, I just don't know what
it was, but it felt very open there. And like I found myself
in under it a couple times, like sitting there with this edge
by my elbow saying, hey, that's neat, you know, the building
is up here, but what's all this stuff down here and under
me, you know. It was just this big openness.
Okay. And then back here is a third story on the left side,
or it is a story higher, I'll say that, I can say that...
Okay, and this had...I had the feeling that I was dealing
with three stories and two stories ...okay?... I'll write
this two story section with open round floor, and this is
a solid...and there's more, you know, it's so complex....
And this top, the top of the second story, was like people
would go up there and would stand up there, okay? Its like
it's...almost like, like a sunroof or a patio type of a
feeling. I don't know... Sunroof or patio. Okay.
The peculiar thing about it is when I got to the top of the
stairs I did a quick aerial which told me where- you know
you asked me to determine if there were any hostages there,
and I was getting this aerial "X", you know, an "X" on the
top of the building portion that was sending me down in
there. Location of..... All right, and this whole area's
got a yard around it, I mean a wall, enclosing some sort of
a yard.
Okay, two.......... Okay. Then when I got to the head of
the stairs I was sort of being, just letting myself drift
in the direction of the target, and I, from the way I was
feeling, I felt like I had to go up the stairs, so I drifted
up to the top of the staircase. And I had a, like a close-
up view of this roofline...going like this, and there being
....okay, that being the staircase down. I'm looking at it-

#31: this is like the sun- open sunroof... And the funny thing
being that right on this line is a ledge. I drew it so it
goes the other way. Sorry. That's what I want it to look
like, like that. Okay. Ledge. And then there being windows
along here. What I did was I got to the top of the stairs
and I looked around and said, well, okay, that "X" is draw-
ing me to the spot, you know, over on the other side of this
wall here, so there must be a door. So I got up here to the
top of the stairwell and I looked to the left, and I said
okay, well there should be a door here, because. I know that
these rooms are off a hall right inside. I just sort of
knew that. And there wasn't any damn door on the outside of
the building.
Up here there's some sort of a ledge, but that ledge is not
necessarily a walking ledge. Shit, I don't know how big it
is. It may just separate two floors and be ornamental, but
it may be a walkable ledge. But all I felt was that there
was a flat area around it. Okay, anyway........
All right, now where am I?.....
#14: Okay, then you went on to the rooms, two on each side of
the hallway.
#14: To the right of interior stairwell.
#31: Then I went- yeah, that's right. Then I went to sort of-
I couldn't get- I think I passed through the wall. And then
I was standing around trying to get the feel for what the
hell was happening. And I had like this overhead, sort of
a half cut away view, like I was looking in a little model,
with no roof. Okay? And, uh...the feeling was like I was
looking at a model .......................like that type of a
thing, okay?.....And here's what I call what, where the
door should have been, and it wasn't.....I'm doin' this
bass ackwards here. Okay ........ I'm drawing this maze here,
but that's just what it looked like. There. Okay?
And then out here I had the feeling like this was the third
floor. And then out here I had the feeling that this was
like the third floor, and that out here in a cutaway- that
the building was bigger, there's garbage over here somewhere.
But that the stairwell... went down here...outside stairs,
and that the roof went on out like that. Okay. Open sun-
roof area. It may not be a sunroof, but it's just this open
flat roof that you can climb up the stairs and stand on.
Okay. Now, "X" marks the spot, this was where I b3lieve the
woman was, was in that room.
#14: Okay, you mentioned during the session two women.

#14: Okay.
#31: That's right. Yeah. This is where this "X" marks the spot,
"X" two, this is "X" one, is the woman. "X" two is the guy
with the funny jaw... It's like he had an underbite, and
had a really pronounced jaw. Okay. And this is the woman
with the short- with short- the one I can identify from the
pictures, I know... And this is a other- I had the feeling
that the other woman was here and that she was across the
hall from the.-from the first woman. But I did not get any
imagery of her, I just got the feeling that that may have
been overlay, too, that they keep the women together. And I
don't know what's in the fourth room here that I haven't
labeled. Okay?
And I'm not going to draw the rooms, but the rooms had a
feeling- individual rooms had the feeling of, like I described
a professional dormitory setup. Like a...a villa...not a
college dormitory, nothing academic like that. It was like
a company villa. It had transient rooms in it that were
nicely outfitted, I mean they were- they weren't spartan and
they weren't plush, they were sort of mature and functional,
but not barracks type stuff, you know.
Then what did I do? Then I cruised around the building.
#14: Yeah. I want to know more about the security. You know,
physical security, guards, trip wires, alarm devices, anything
like that..........
#31: Now, I believe this has got the...I didn't really get a good
close look at it, but here's a cutaway view. Okay? I did not
get the idea- there was triple strand barbed wire type secur-
ity on top of this wall, 10-15 foot wall. And the same
thing along here. And that was it, essentially.
This view is from sketch one looking left. Okay? That's the
view of four. Okay? I labeled that on sketch #1. Okay.
And then like here is the building....... Some sort of a
bump there........ and there's our magical stairwell. The
only thing that I saw while in this area- this area, by the
way, is maybe ...3O feet from building to wall. And the only
thing I saw was the old random guard... walking past me...Okay?
#14: It's gettin' hotter than a son of a bitch in this room.
#31: Yeah...Okay. And of course there are windows in here.......
All right. So that was that. So I'll draw a little ""X"
down here with five, and draw another corner view. For five,
what we have is again essentially the same view.

#31: Okay, now. It's funny here ..... Okay ..... Okay, there's wall
again from the view of the corner, the other corner. Here's
the building on the right side. There's like a wrought iron
picket gate. And here is a protruding roof... What do you
call it? Porch roof. So that the guard walks around here,
and he goes in and- in other words- I'll draw another quick
overhead of the front area here, cause it's- and then he
goes through that picket gate and he's standing on the front
porch and he walks in the building. Okay?... Really weird
and twisted. Okay.
Here we have the front porch overhang. Here we have.. .the
whole thing was very, very reminiscent of the old French type
villas in Nam. The whole atmosphere was like it was a self-
contained compound ..............comes out here at the street,
sidewalk ...um...had double doors there that were wood.......
glass..... Okay, and then here-be the picket gates...on
each side, which would allow someone... access. This is con-
nected somehow, there's a post out here. All right.
These are picket, wrought iron...wrought iron gates...access
building-what I'll call a building perimeter yard. Okay?
And this is the building face, here. Okay? Like that.
And this is building face ...three flours........ That's it,
this is the front view.... I didn't go on around the building
from this point..... I had a very- inside, I had a very
shadowy, not really gloomy, but very mellow and cool feeling
of.... these two swinging doors being viewed from the inside
.......no, actually, it went something like this, and then we
come off at an angle like that. Nice tapestry... Guess
what? It was a Persian rug, too.
#14: That's interesting.
#31: Okay? And, you know, a couple chairs type situation, like
this was a, maybe a waiting room, or some sort of a place
like that... It's about 30 feet wide. And there is some-
thing very funny on the left wall. And, the only thing I
can think of is that it is a curved staircase bannister that's
made out of wood and it's light brown. "Cause it's this...
just all I could get was a glimpse of it, Icouldn't get
any depth perception at all... Okay? Just some sort of a
feeling that there was a staircase over there, and that
this had something to do with it. Curved with- there was
some depth to the wall like a stairwell- stair-...bannis-
how do you spell bannister? B-A-N-N-I-S-T-E-R? That's
light tan wood polished. Okay? And it goes this way
around, it recedes, and comes back up like this. All right.
Mellow, dark, cool lobby, narrow lobby type area. My last
sketch eight I'll do what I have as overview and that'll
be it ..................

#31: Okay, this is the two story...and this is the three story.
And this is essentially all I remember. This first came up
in the beginning of the session when you asked me to find out
if there were any hostages there. I had this type of a feel-
ing, that that's where I wanted to go. Okay? That's all I
had, and that' what started me off on going up the stairs
and trying to get in there..... That's it. Any questions for
me or anything?
#14: No, nothing further. Good job.
#31: Thank you, thank you.
#14: End of session.
