MISSION AND OBJECTIVES STATEMENT
GRILL FLAME PROGRAM
1. Goals - The objectives of this program are to:
a. Assess the threat to the US posed by foreign work in applying paranormal
functions and determine which paranormal functions can be applied to military
or intelligence goals.
b. To make recommendation for DoD involvement with psychoenergetics.
c. To accomplish this the following will be done:
1. Explore all variables that affect the functions.
(a) Enhance the signal
(b) Eliminate the noise
(c) Determine effective countermeasures
2. Determine the kinds of targets or intelligence goals that show
the most promise for being exploited by the paranormal functions.
3. Develop an applications program for DoD which incorporates para-
normal functions with other collection techniques.
4. Conduct applications investigations that will extablish that
DoD should:
(1) Abandon the area entirely
(2) Continue to examine the functions
(3) Bring effort in-house
(4) Both (2) and (3).
5. Continue to train and develop abilities of Operational Remote
Viewing (ORV) personnel to improve performance. DIA/DT-1

6. Determine if functions can be utilized by intelligence analysts
to enhance their grasp, understanding and knowledge of areas of interest.
2. Milestones
a: Year #1
- Explore the effects of the potential variables on psychoenergetics.
- Develop audio/semantic analysis techniques.
- Determine what is required for target acquistion.
- Initiate work on refining interpretation of data.
- Establish training programs for users of ORV data.
b. Year #2
- Continue to apply psychoenergetic techniques to real targets.
- Closely interpret the results of psychoenergetics to further
refine the ORV techniques.
- Complete work on ORV interpretation
- Establish a cadre of ORVs.
c. Year #3
- Apply all ORV personnel to real intelligence programs (both known
and unknown).
- Develop statistical base to illustrate the effectiveness of ORV.
- Develop a program that would permit the utilization of ORV by
- Develop a program that would result in the continual refining and
improvement of the ORV technique.

- Develop selection criterion for acquiring ORV trainees.
3. Experiments (Year #1, 2, and 3)
- All should be relatable to goals of contract and be aimed at
achieving the year's milestones.
- Should be established that the experiment will produce the type of
data required.
All experimental/testing design, reports of progress and-experimental
results should be cleared by joint approval of action officers at the Grill
Flame Committee level and coordinated through primary contracting officer's
technical representative (COTR).
