TARGET: ?6! 3 OUTBOUND TEAM : 1) 2) INBOUND TEAM: 1) '1) MISSION EVALUATION: 5 t r DoWSc : - jS Qr` ' -~or~ wed Fit 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 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.

( ) 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.
