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 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
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.

A. Tasking
SRI International is tasked with working toward the development of
RV enhancement procedures 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
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).

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-
relationship is schematically diagrammed in Figure 2.) To
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.

$ site
During FY 1981, Swann worked on developing the details of the six-
stage RV enhancement procedure under investigation by serving as a remote
viewer himself for over 200 training trials for sites from around the globe.
Coordinates for site acquisition and data for feedback and analysis were
obtained from National Geographic, World Aeronautical Charts, USGS topo-
graphical maps and the like. To indicate the range and type of sites
employed, a representative sample of sites used in CRV practice from
November 1980 are listed in Appendix A.

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.
the program leaderj_H. Puthoff
observed the theory classes and acted asAmonitox* for several of the
practice sessions to monitor the progress of the RV enhancement program.
Both also acted as monitors for 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.

B. RV Session Format
The format for carrying out these tasks during FY 1981 is as follows.
A request for information is forwarded to
COTR in residence at SRI. He then provides targeting information
who

se
o
(e.g., coordinates) to an SRI RV session monitor at star
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.
Pre- and Post Task Calibration
In an effort to determine whether a remote viewer is "on-line' before
attempting an 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 task is engaged; if not, the task is
aborted. In like fashion, a postsession calibration trial is carried out
15
Approved For Release 2000/ P9-00788r001300280002-7
 Approved For Release 2000/08f 0 788r001300280002-7
to provide an estimate of whether the viewer remained "on-line" during
the_. task.
Examples of pre- and post-session calibration trials for Cite
J.S. #17: 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 (AOL) to distinguish them from signal; and general progression
through the stages.
In the case of these calibration trials accompanying 19Site J.S. #17,
good results obtained in the calibration trials correlated well with good
results on the task. Based on these kinds of results data
will be collected throughout the program to determine whether pre- and
post- session calibration trials can reliably provide useful
indicators for estimating the quality of data obtained in the
RV task.

A first-generation series of evaluation protocols were developed fc
use by analysts in providing numerical estimates of various aspects of t
RV product generated in RV tasks. The returned protocols
constitute the basis for contractor evaluation, feedback to the'remote

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

V SUMMARY OF THE FY 1981 RV ENHANCEMENT TASK
Progress in the FY 1981 RV Enhancement Task can be summarized as
(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
1
Over 50 CRV practice trials
Orientation through Stage 1 completed
? Data obtained on Sites J.S. #8
through J.S. #22.
? First-generation evaluation protocols developed,
distributed to nalysts.
(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-; calibration trials
" OW
appears to provide useful indicators for bracketing the
quality of data obtained in tasks.

(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 thre mote viewer may have gone Hoff-line" during or after
the viewing. Caution is therefore advised.
4. Viewer described a "science-city" type of site, with radio towers,
chemical storage, and medical facilities.
