1. (C/NF/SK) PROTOCOLS:
a. The Remote Viewer was introduced to the Outbound Team (OBT) at o5'd
hours, Following this "warm-up meeting both the OBT and
the Inbound Teafn(IBT) were restricted to the area of the unit operational facility
with orders not to discuss the particulars of the upcoming mission. During
this "restricted" period neither the OBT nor the IBT were permitted to make or
receive outside telephone calls or to meet with other members of the unit. The
OBT was reindoctrinated on the need to maintain the integrity of this mission
by not varying the purpose of the trip to the site to tend to personal needs,
e.g., errands, refreshments, etc.
b. At O 1'3r3 hours, the actual target, (sealed within an envelope)
was provided to the OBT at which time they were permitted to depart the area
enroute to the target. Their verbal tasking was as follows:
(1) Do not unseal the envelope until you have moved out of the
immediate viewing area of.the unit.
(2) Go directly to the target area and remain in the general area
(by driving around the block if necessary) until exactly p _L_ hours.
(3) At 1006 hours, position yourself at the target area and
perform any actions normally associated with the functions of the target, e.g.,
bowl at a bowling alley, purchase refreshments at a snack bar, etc.

Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00789 R001400580001-3
(4) Remain on site for a minimum of fifteen minutes or longer but only
if a longer period of time is required to finish a function of the building
such as finishing a cup of coffee or similar purchase, etc.
(5) Following this fifteen minute mandatory visit to the site, return
immediately to the unit area.
(6) After arriving in the unit area, the OBT is not to discuss the
target or events that occurred at the site with anyone in the unit. When the
IBT has finished the post-session phase of the mission (sketch'es&, summaries, etc.)
the OBT and the IBT will proceed back to the target area, still without comments
pertaining to the actual mission.
(7) At the target site, the OBT will retrace their movements at the
target whirl- being followed by the IBT. When the target (or specific items at the
target) are recognized by the Remote Viewer, he/she will so state with a brief
explanation or reference to the data collection phase, if necessary.
(8) Following this second visit, both the IBT and the OBT will return
to the unit area at which time the OBT will be released and a general feedback
session will be provided to the Remote Viewer.
c. The Interviewer will be responsible- for collating the data obtained
from the entire session, (session information, post-session interview and on site
visit), and from the data an overall evaluation will be given pertaining. to
the success of this mission based upon the relevence of the material provided
and later substantiated. The guidelines for this evaluation will be on a 0-7
point scale of target/data correspondence. This scale is as follow:
7 = Excellent correspondence, including good analytical detail (e.
naming the.. site .by name).
6 = Good correspondence with good analytical information (e.g., naming
the function), and with essentially no incorrect information.
5 = Good correspondence with unambiguous unique matchable elements and
little incorrect information.
4 = Good correspondence with several machable elements, but some incorrect
information.
3 = Mixture of correct and incorrect elements, but enough of the former
to indicate viewer has made contact with the site.
2 = Some correct elements, but not sufficient to suggest results beyond
chance expectation.
1 = Little correspondence.
0 = No correspondence.
In addition to the numeric scale of evaluation, the Interviewer. may opt to
provided other comments on the target/session correspondence as necessary in
narrative form. All of this material is then provided to the Remote Viewer for
future references and/or discussions with the Interviewer since the material in
these reports will be used as the basis for additional skills training, if required.

2. ( ) SESSION RESULTS:
a. ( ) Source quickly attained an altered state of consciousness
but but failed to notify the Interviewer of his "arrival at Sanctuary." In
the post-session interview Source stated that he had, in fact, not been able
to reach his sanctuary and could only receive a mixture of unrelated visuals.
At the appointed target time Source was able to quickly move to the apropriate
site and begin verbally describing the area.
E. ( ) At the site, (the Ft Meade, Fire Station), Source accurately
described, both valially and in post-session sketches, the unusual array of
painted road lines both in front of the adjacent to the actual building. He
further described "4x4 logs raised off the ground" at this site. These subsequently
were revealed to be metal road rails, (side-wall). along the highway adjacent
to the site. This is an example of an analytic overlay (AOL) in whfc the
concept of 4x4 was used to identify a simple gestalt.
c. ( ) Another example of an AOL occurred when Source identified a
flat, dark, smooth raised area as a "tennis court." There is no tennis court
in this area, however a slightly raised adjacent parking area, is also "flat,
dark and smooth." At the site the Source could not positively identify this
region as his reported "tennis court" but the similarities were striking.
d. ( ) The most conclusive "hit" was a firehose connection.
In session, Source verbally described a, "manmade, item, creme colored with
silverr'T*There are lines like stitched leather." In the post-session interview
the Source quite accurately depicted a length of "creme colored" hose with
a "silver" ring (fitting) on the end. He even went so far as to draw in lines
coming out of the hose and stated that "something comes out of the:"tbbe".
e. ( ) Source was unable to locate the OBT at the site axcept
for a few fleeting moments which is, in itself, not important. What was unusual
however, is Source's failure to report the presence of several large fire trucks,
painted bright greenish yellow. In other wo eds, Source accurately described
many of the small items associated with the site but apparently did not
perceive the two or three house sized vehicle parked in front of the building.
This is not an unusual occurrence and given more time at the site with less
external pressure,,(a mandated fifteen minute window), undoubtedly Source
would have"found" the trucks and like the other items, accurately reported on them.
