II INTRODUCTION
SRI International is tasked with assessing the potential of RV for
intelligence applications. In this task, as defined for fiscal years
(FY) 1981 through 1983, special emphasis is placed on the possibility that
enhancement techniques can be developed that will significantly increase
levels of accuracy and reliability.
The three-year effort focuses on (1) the development of techniques to
enhance the accuracy and reliability of RV, (2) the application of RV to
operational tasks, ('3) the evaluation of such techniques and applications,
and (4) the integration of RV intelligence into the overall intelligence
mix. The apportionment of these efforts over the three-year period is
shown in Figure 1.
Investigation of the RV phenomenon at SRI International over the past
decade has ranged from basic research for proof or the lack of proof of
the existence of the phenomenon to operational applications in which the
existence of the phenomenon is assumed. The present study emphasizing
applicability is the latter type--proof of the phenomenon is not explicitly
pursued here. Some pragmatic measure of demonstration of existence is
provided, however, by assessment of the quality of results obtained in
operational tests carried out under double-blind conditions.
In this report we discuss the effort for FY'81. This effort con-
sisted of:
RV is the acquisition and description, by mental means, of information
blocked from ordinary perception by distance or shielding.

III RV ENHANCEMENT TASK
A. Tasking
SRI International is tasked with working toward the development of
RV enhancement procedures that will accommodate future DoD needs. Of
particular interest are the development of procedures that can be transmitted
to others in a structured fashion (i.e., "training" procedures), and that
can be used in targeting on distant sites of military or intelligence
import.
B. Coordinate RV (CRV)
One targeting procedure, which we have been investigating at SRI
since 1972, is an abstract procedure known as "coordinate remote viewing
(CRV)." In this procedure, the target site coordinates (latitude and
longitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds) are given (with no further
information) to the individual who is to view the site. The remote viewer
is then asked simply to proceed on the basis of the coordinates alone.
Admittedly, such an abstract targeting procedure seems without basis,
at least with regard to the present scientific paradigm. As a result
we can make no claim for the technique other than the purely pragmatic
one that it appears to work. It can only be pointed out that the possi-
bility of success in such a protocol is in accord with an observed "goal-
oriented" nature of the laws that appear to govern such functioning.
An investigation into the general problem of target acquisition has been
carried out and reported in R. Targ, H. Puthoff, B. Humphrey, and
C. Tart, "Investigations of Target Acquisition," Research in Parapsychology,
1979 (Scarecrow Press, Inc., Metuchen, N.J., 1980).

C. Overview of the RV Enhancement Procedure
Specifically under investigation at the present time is an RV
enhancement procedure developed by I. Swann, an SRI consultant. The
procedure focuses on improving reliability of remote viewing by controlling
those factors that tend to introduce noise into the RV product. Following
is a summary overview of the Swann CRV procedure. A detailed historical
and technical summary is being prepared as a separate technical report.
Two major sources of noise have been found: (1) noise caused by
factors in the environment of the remote viewer, and (2) noise arising
within the viewer as a result of cognitive processes (analysis/
interpretation).
Noise from the environment, peripheral visual clutter or sounds in
the environment (even subliminal) can intrude on perceptual and thought
processes and degrade the RV response. Actions or statements by the
session monitor can similarly distract the remote viewer.
"Internally generated" noise seems to be produced in the remote
viewer himself. With the application of a "stimulus" (e.g., the reading
of a coordinate) a momentary burst of "signal" appears to enter into
awareness for a few seconds and then fade away. At this point memory
and imagination appear to fill in the void, thus producing "noise" in
the RV product. This effect is presumably produced by a need to resolve
the ambiguity associated with the fragmentary nature of emerging percep-
tions. (This relationship is schematically diagrammed in Figure 2.) To
prevent this effect disciplined rejection of premature interpretations
and conclusions is necessary.
The techniques designed to handle these noise problems involve
(1) repeated coordinate presentation and quick-reaction response on the
part of the remote viewer to minimize the imaginative overlays, (2) the
use of a specially designed, acoustic-tiled, featureless room with

homogeneous coloring, to minimize environmental overlay, and (3) the
adoption of a strictly prescribed, limited monitor behavior to minimize
monitor overlay.
The training protocol as presently structured proceeds through a
series of six stages of proficiency, hypothesized to correspond to six
stages of increasing contact with the target site. These are outlined
in Table 1.

D. Transfer of RV Enhancement Technology
Swann instructed three other experienced remote viewers (#009, #131,
and #504) in theory classes. Application of the theory was carried out
on the basis of practice RV training trials on around-the-globe sites
(over 60 each) by the remote viewers. Toward the end of the FY 1981 effort,
the first novice remote viewer (#622) was introduced into the training
task so that we could begin to obtain data on the response of inexperienced
personnel to the training program as structured. This remote viewer had
over 50 RV trials.
SG1J
Both the program leader (H. Puthoff) and DIA COTR
observed the theory classes and acted as monitors for several of the
practice sessions to monitor the progress of the RV enhancement program.
Both also acted as monitors for operational RV tasks, which provided
additional data on progress of the program (Section IV).
Although detailed formal evaluation of the training program is not
scheduled until mid FY 1982, some general observations of progress in
RV enhancement can be made. The experienced remote viewers (#009, #131,
#504) were taken through Stage 3 in the theory/orientation sessions, and
reliable data were obtained through Stage 2 into Stage 3 in the RV training
trials. The remote viewers experienced some difficulty in adjusting to
this "retraining" because some of the experienced remote viewers had to
modify the style which they had developed. This adoption of style did not,
however, appear to interfere with their ability to perform well using the
RV enhancement techniques under study.
Figure 3 is an example of what is meant by Stage 3 Remote Viewing
(dimension, motion, mobility). The (blind) target site was Wotje Atoll
in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific. For a good rendition an ability
to "move" around the site is required to outline the shape of the island,
associated reef, buildings, and so forth.

The novice remote viewer was given orientation through Stage 2, and
has produced reliable data through Stage 1 to date. In contrast with the
experienced remote viewers, the novice viewer experienced no particular
difficulty in becoming familiar with the codified RV enhancement procedure.
E. Summary of the RV Enhancement Technique
The RV enhancement techniques may be summarized as follows:
(1) The codified multistage approach to data acquisition
inherent in the RV enhancement procedure appears to
"slow down" the incoming data successfully, thereby
providing some safeguard against the natural
tendencies of the remote viewer to interpret and
analyze prematurely.
(2) The data being generated within the structure being
investigated appear to result in briefer transcripts
with higher signal-to-noise ratios compared to previous
results. The gain appears to be both in the quality
of individual trials and in the reliability from
trial to trial.
(3) Knowledge of the hypothesized multistage process of
site acquisition appears to provide some predictive
value about the quality of the RV product. The data
that do not emerge more or less in the staged order
tend to have a higher percentage of overlay.

IV OPERATIONAL RV TASKS
A. Operational RV Tasking
SRI International is tasked with investigating U.S. capabilities in
applied RV, both to determine the potential for application in U.S.
efforts, and to provide data useful in assessing the threat potential of
corresponding Soviet applications. In response to this requirement, SRI
has pursued application tasks of interest to the intelligence community,
responding to quick-reaction requirements set by representatives monitoring
the progress of the work.
B. RV Session Format
The format for carrying out these tasks during FY 1981 is as follows.
A request for information is forwarded to
, the Joint Service SG1J
Program COTR in residence at SRI. He then provides targeting information
(e.g., coordinates) to an SRI RV session monitor at start of session, who
then works with a remote viewer to obtain data. In this format, SRI
personnel are generally blind to the source of the request and the type
of site or event of interest. In many cases the COTR monitors the RV
session, or even conducts the session himself.
C. Pre- and Post-Operational Task Calibration
In an effort to determine whether a remote viewer is "on-line" before
attempting an operational task, a presession calibration trial of a site
of the kind selected from the National Geographic is carried out. If the
results are good, the operational task is engaged; if not, the task is
aborted. In like fashion, a postsession calibration trial is carried out
15

Approved For Release 2000/0?7
ktfDP96-00788r001300280001-8
to provide an estimate of whether the viewer remained "on-line" during
the operational task.
Examples of pre- and post-session calibration trials for OP Site
J.S. #17 (suspected BW site) are shown in Figures 4 and 5. In these
examples the characteristics of the new technique under consideration
can be noted: brevity of response from repeated coordinate presentation;
physical sensations associated with the site; labeling of analytical
overlays WO to distinguish them from signal; and general progression
through the stages.
In the case of these calibration trials accompanying OP Site J.S. #17,
good results obtained in the calibration trials correlated well with good
results on the operational task. Based on these kinds of results, data
will be collected throughout the program to determine whether pre- and
post-operational session calibration trials can reliably provide useful
indicators for estimating the quality of data obtained in the operational
RV task.
D. FY 1981 Operational RV Sites
The tasks carried out during FY 1981 are listed in Table 2. Additional
detailed data are provided in the operational Task Summary Sheets provided
in Appendix B. Complete documentation (transcripts, evaluations, etc.)
can be made available through SAO channels on a need-to-know basis.
An example of a RV response is given in Appendix C. The site
(J.S. #17) is (The remote
viewer and interviewer did not have this information at the time of the
RV session.)

E. Evaluation of the Operational RV Task
A first-generation series of evaluation protocols were developed for
use by analysts in providing numerical estimates of various aspects of the
RV product generated in operational RV tasks. The returned protocols
constitute the basis for contractor evaluation, feedback to the remote
viewer, and as input for the computerized data-base management (DDM).
The evaluation protocols submitted to analysts for their completion are
provided in Appendix D. A sample returned evaluation protocol (for OP
Site J.S. #17) is included as Appendix E.
While awaiting the bulk of evaluation protocols, the contractor has
begun development of a computerized data-base management system to handle
this material. This system, programmed on a stand-alone LSI 11/23 system
located in a project classified space, will provide a library/catalog
function of data-base readout by date, site, viewer, etc., and trend
analysis functions.

V SUMMARY OF THE FY 1981 RV ENHANCEMENT TASK
Progress in the FY 1981 RV Enhancement Task can be summarized as
follows:
(1) Efforts completed:
? CRV enhancement procedure developed.
- All six stages researched
- Over 200 CRV practice trials with Swann
Orientation through Stage 3 into Stages 4
and 5 completed.
? Procedure transmitted to three experienced remote viewers.
- Over 60 CRV practice trials each
Orientation through Stage 3 completed
? Procedure transmitted to one novice remote viewer
- Over 50 CRV practice trials
- Orientation through Stage 1
completed
? Data obtained on operational Sites J.S. #8
through J.S. #22,
? First-generation evaluation protocols developed,
distributed to client analysts.
(2) Findings to date:
? Subject to formal evaluation in FY 1982, the multistage
approach to RV in the procedure under evaluation
appears to be successful in "slowing down" the incoming
data, thereby providing some safeguard against natural
tendencies toward premature interpretation and analysis
on the part of the remote viewer.
? The use of pre- and post-operational calibration trials
appears to provide useful indicators for bracketing the
quality of data obtained in operational tasks.

3. Pre-session calibration experiment with Nat'l Geographic target
(Buenos Aires, Argentina) yielded good results, indicating high
probability that remote viewer "on-line" to start. Post-session
calibration (Dusky Sound, New Zealand) was equivocal, indicating
that the remote viewer may have gone "off-line" during or after
the operational viewing. Caution is therefore advised.
4. Viewer described a "science-city" type of site, with radio towers,
chemical storage, and medical facilities.

Coordinate supplied to interviewer Puthoff by (DIA). Coordinate
was supposed to be that of J.S. #16 , but the
latitude number was 18" off, being given as 02" instead of 20",
somewhat less than 600 yards off.
2. Remote viewer and interviewer blind as to target location and target
activity of interest.
3. Pre- and post-session calibration experiments with Nat'l. Geographic
target material (Mount Kilimanjaro and Canyonlands Nat'l. Park, Utah,
respectively) yielded good results, indicating with high probability
that remote viewer was "on-line" throughout operational viewing.

V: This is a terrible place for some reason. I am having words like medical,
SG1A biological, research, human use, human guinea pigs rather, prison facility.
H:
V: Chemicals and gas, a biological warfare place. This is like a
decompression chamber. Maybe those are contamination chambers.
Oh dear, what did we find. Who gave this coordinate? I came across -
it seems to be five rather complex chambers in a very large hangar
like building. They remind me of the decompression chamber that we
saw down at that marine research base on Catalina. A decompression
place where people went if they came up from diving too fast. A
complex chamber made of reinforced steel and concrete and things and
it has tanks. They have tanks of various kinds leading into them.

V: There is the smell of disinfectant and ultra violet lights, purple light,
lavendar light, inside this large hangar like building. The floor seems
wet. People wear boots, very large rubber boots. There seem to be inside
stairs going down. This place is maybe 40 ft high at least. There are
these chamber units there, but there are stairs and an elevator going down.
And a ramp and lift forks, so this is underground too. It's funny, there
seems to be windows on the outside, but there aren't any windows on the
inside. Fake windows. I seem to see what looks like a guard cubicle
because it has all glass around, it is inside the building. It has, by
comparison to the other cold lavendar lights, it has yellow illumination
in it. There are six men there. There is a big panel, it seems to be a
voltage control panel for some sort of electronics system. Down the ramp
are very long corridors. It looks like storage. There are signs everywhere.
I can't read the characters but the phoenetics is sort of pra noy usnetzov.
There are blinking red lights over some doors here and there. I think
these are exit markers.

V: Outside the ground isn't
flat, it is sort of like there are hills or artificially made mounds
that sort of divide up this compound in a way. Buildings that look
like barracks. A whole series of buildings that look like prefabricated
boxes, that are sort of all stacked together. Water tank on the hill.
Large tower I think and in the area there is an airstrip. It is
about 2 miles to the NE I think. .1 am going to end there. I don't
like this place.
At that Class A site there was a tall thing that I couldn't make out,
I bet that that is a chimmney. I bet those are large furnaces.

Appendix D
(S) INSTRUCTIONS TO ANALYSTS (U)
(U) The information provided as enclosure to this report was obtained in
response to a collection requirement provided by
This information was acquired from a new and potentially valuable source of
intelligence. Work is currently being pursued to determine the accuracy,
reliability, and improvement potential of this source. Your remarks and
attention to the evaluation sheet will be the basis for our assessment of this
new collection technique. Therefore, the effort you expend will greatly assist
us and will ultimately result in you receiving more data of increasing accuracy
and reliability.
(U) While formulating your judgements concerning the data, the following
comments concerning this new source of intelligence may be helpful.
(U) Foremost, the data is likely to consist of a mixture of correct and
incorrect elements. Specifically:
(1) (S) The descriptive elements are generally of higher
reliability than judgements or labels as to what is
being described (recreational swimming pool may be
mistaken for water purification pools, an aircraft
hull may be mistaken for a submarine hull, etc.).
Therefore, seemingly appropriate descriptive elements
should not be rejected because of mislabeling.
(2) (S) The data often contain gaps (in a 3-building complex,
for example, perhaps only two of the buildings may be
described, and an airfield may be added that isn't there).
Such gaps or additions should not be taken to mean that the
rest of the data is necessarily inaccurate.
(S) Therefore, a recommended approach is to first examine the entire
information packet to obtain an overall "flavor" of the response, reserving
final judgement even in the face of certain errors, and then go back through
for detailed analysis.
(U) If you have questions regarding the data you have received or on its
evaluation please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you.
