(S/NF/SS-2) This is the first annual report on SUN STREAK which is a new
program for establishing an operational psychoenergetics capability in the
Intelligence Community.
(S/NF/SS-2) DRAGOON ABSORB is an unclassified term that was used to identify
this effort in the FY 1986 GDIP budget submissions. This activity is now
authorized as a DoD special access program identified by the unclassified
term, SUN STREAK. Only those with strict need-to-know will be granted access
to this program.
(S/NF/SS-2) Psychoenergetics includes classes of human capabilities generally
referred to as parapsychological, or psi, phenomena. There are two main
categories, informational and energetic, that are defined as:
1. Remote Viewing (RV)/Extrasensory Perception (ESP) --- ability to
describe remote geographical areas or to describe concealed data via
undefined transmission mechanisms.
2. Remote Action (RA) -- mental ability to influence physical or
biological systems without use of known physical mechanisms.
Main focus of the SUN STREAK program will be on the remote viewing aspect of
psychoenergetics.

I SUN STREAK
A. (S/NF/SS-2) STATUS:
1. (S/NF/SS-2) Key Actions: Key actions for SUN STREAK that have been
accomplished are:
a. Special access program: Formal approval was received on 30 March
1985 from the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy to estab-
lish this effort as a special access program.
b. Human use approval: On 19 March 1985, formal approval was
received from the Deputy Secretary of Defense for this activity,
provided that DoD human use guidelines were followed. These
requirements are now incorporated in the SUN STREAK program.
c. Logistics: All logistics requirements have been identified. The
SUN STREAK unit will remain housed at Ft. Meade, MD., and
consequently DIA and Ft. Meade have entered into an Interservice
Support Agreement (ISSA).
2. (S/NF/SS-2) Staffing: Four military personnel were transferred to DIA
in January 1986 and two civilian personnel will be transferred to DIA by
mid-February 1986. These six individuals form the nucleus of the SUN
STREAK effort. Procedures are being implemented for selecting and
recruiting the remaining SUN STREAK positions (two military; four
civilians).
3. (S/NF/SS-2) Training/Operations: During FY 1985, the primary focus of
this unit was to improve remote viewing skill levels. Three individuals
are now nearing advanced stages of training, and another individual is
proceeding at a satisfactory pace. When the experienced viewers complete
training, they will begin an operational training/qualification phase so
that their skills can be quantified for real operational projects. This
phase should begin in February 1986. Some operational tasks will also be
performed during FY 1986. It is anticipated that a limited unit
operational readiness will be achieved by mid-1987.

4. (S/NF/SS-2) Community Interface:
a. (S/NF/SS-2) A Project Oversight Panel has been established for
this effort. This panel is chaired by Mr. Latham (Asst. SecDef
C3I), and includes the Director, DIA. The first meeting of this
panel was held on 16 January 1986.
b. (S/NF/SS-2) An Intelligence Community Task Coordinating Group
under DIA/DT chair will also be established prior to commencing with
operational activity.
5. (S/NF/SS-2) R&D Interface: Currently, there is no external funding in
the GDIP for contractor support of the SUN STREAK effort. Near term
research requirements have been identified and will be considered for
inclusion in a new HQ DA Medical Research and Development Command
(USAMRDC) research effort in psychoenergetics. The main focus of the
USAMRDC research effort will be to examine fundamental aspects of
psychoenergetics phenomena, expecially as this relates to medical or bio-
medical factors. Close coordination will be maintained with this
research effort, and pertinent findings wll be applied to SUN STREAK.

B. (S/NF/SS-2) EVALUATION PROCEDURES:
1. (S/NF/SS-2) Operational Phase:
(S/NF/SS-2) The Project Manager will assess the value of the operational
phase of the SUN STREAK program by requiring all data consumers (i.e.,
operational task originators) to furnish him with data accuracy and data
utility assessments. Table 1 illustrates the general format and
assessment scale (0-3) for this evaluation. Specific data categories may
vary depending on the nature of the task or on specific objectives;
however, the overall approach will remain the same.
(S/NF/SS-2) The Project Manager will enter results of the accuracy and
utility assessment into the project data base. He will make periodic
reviews (quarterly) of this data to assess overall effectiveness.
(S/NF/SS-2) The Project Manager, in coordination with the task
originators and the Intelligence Community Task Coordinating Group, will
develop an additional measure of program value. This measurement
(overall program value) is designed to measure the net worth or total
contribution of the task in relation to other tasks and to the overall
intelligence mission. Data accuracy and utility may be high for a
particular consumer, but the results may not have a significant overall
impact. This program value scale is similar to the utility scale;
however it is based on specific measures of over-all benefit. This value
scale is as follows:
Program Value Scale
0 - Little or no over-all program value.
1 - Some program value (e.g., helped refine estimates).
2 - Moderate value (e.g., identified new data, narrowed down
possibilities).
3 - High value (e.g., led to significant cost savings,
identified critical high priority S&T or operational activities).
4 - Exceptional value (e.g., predicted major
events/activities, located lost/missing resources or personnel).
The value evaluation will be used in conjunction with other program
evaluation parameters (accuracy, utility) for determining program accom-
plishments and for defining future program directions.

2. (S/NF/SS-2) Training and Operational Qualifying Phase:
(C) There are two other aspects of this program that will require evalu-
ation by the Project Manager or by his representative; the basic training
phase and the operational qualifying (or operational training) phase.
(S/NF/SS-2) The basic training phase consists of a large variety of
easy-to-verify training tasks that are designed for various stages of
proficiency. Overall evaluations will be based on the accuracy scale
used for operational projects and on an additional quantitative
procedure. The accuracy scale will permit assessment of an individual's
progress through the six training stages. The quantitative procedure
(i.e., concept/element analysis) will allow assessments of degree of
accuracy and will provide the basis for determining what general classes
of operational projects a viewer can best perform.
(S/NF/SS-2) The operational qualifying phase follows satisfactory
completion of the training phase. This phase consists of tasks that
simulate operational projects but differ in that ground truth can be
readily determined, and there are no operational consumers. The main
purpose of this phase is to systematically quantify the operational
readiness of each viewer for a wide variety of potential operational
projects. Data from this phase will also help identify the best types of
operational tasks for remote viewing (RV) applications.
(S/NF/SS-2) Each RV source will perform several hundred operational
qualifying tasks per year. These tasks will include representative
examples from DIA's intelligence production codes and from other
potential operational requirements. Evaluation will be performed by the
Project Manager or his representative and will be based on the accuracy
scale used for operational projects. In addition, accurate estimates of
operational reliability and utility will be made using quantitative
methods (i.e., concept/element analysis, pattern evaluation). These
evaluation procedures will require extensive use of a dedicated data base
management system for storing large amounts of information and for
performing appropriate analyses.
(S/NF/SS-2) It is anticipated that a limited operational capability will
be achieved by mid-1987. Some operational projects will be initiated in
FY 1986; however, the type of task accepted will depend on the nature of
the proposed task and on capability levels of available RV sources.

II DEVELOPMENTS IN FIELD
A. (S/NF) U.S. DEVELOPMENTS:
1. (S/NF) Intelligence Community:
(S/NF) Investigations of psychoenergetics phenomena have been sponsored
by various U.S. Government agencies since 1971, when CIA initiated work
on remote viewing (RV) with SRI International. Since then, seven DoD
elements, most of them from the Intelligence Community, have been
involved at various times.
(S/NF) Starting in 1981, a joint 3-year project (GRILL FLAME) between
DIA and HQ DA/INSCOM began that investigated the threat and application
potantial of psychoenergetics phenomenon. This project had several
phases:
o A joint HQ DA/INSCOM DIA contractual effort with SRI to investi-
gate threat potential of remote viewing phenomenon.
o A DIA sponsored SRI investigation of foreign research on
psychoenergetics.
o An HQ DA/INSCOM in-house effort addressing intelligence applica-
tions of remote viewing.
(S/NF) Key findings and recommendations from the GRILL FLAME project
were submitted to congressional committees and to key intelligence and
R/D community personnel via the GRILL FLAME PROJECT REPORT, dated 19
October 1983.
(S/NF) Key findings of the project were:
o Remote viewing is a real phenomenon, and is not degraded by dis-
tance or shielding.
o Remote viewing ability can be improved by appropriate training
procedures.
o Remote viewing has potential for U.S. intelligence applications.
However, at this stage of development, descriptive content (e.g.,
sketches, configurations) is more reliable than analytic content
(e.g., function, complex technical data).
o A potential threat to U.S. national security exists from foreign
psychoenergetics research, which is well funded and receives high-
level government support.

(S/NF) There were several key recommendations that resulted from the 3-
year GRILL FLAME effort:
o Basic research in both remote viewing and remote action phenomena
should be initiated.
o Applied intelligence applications research in remote viewing
should be continued and should be under the overall management of
DIA.
(S/NF) These findings and recommendations were supported by an inde-
pendent science review panel called on to evaluate the validity of the
SRI external assistance effort (Science Panel Report, 1 March 1984).
(S/NF) Subsequent to these recommendations, the following activities
were pursued in FY 84 and FY 85:
o Improvement of remote viewing data (i.e., enhancing analytical
content), development of new training techniques (to reduce training
time), development of personnel screening and selection methods, and
development of data evaluation procedures (via R/D funds).
o Review of new foreign psychoenergetics research (via GDIP funds).
o In-house HQDA remote viewing applications and personnel training
in remote viewing skills, using non-NFIP resources.

2. (S/NF) Academic and Private Facilities:
a. (S/NF) Background:
(U) There are at least fifteen academic institutions and private
facilities in the U.S. that pursue research in remote viewing (RV)
and remote action (RA). Emphasis of this work is on identifying
psychological parameters associated with the phenomena, and on
establishing proof-of-principle using statistical techniques. Some
of the research seeks to identify possible physical parameters or
mechanisms that might explain the phenomena, and some of the
activity examines theoretical issues. The staffs directed to
psychoenergetics research are not large, and vary from one or two at
some academic institutes to about eight or ten at a few of the
private facilities. The larger groups usually employ a multi-
disciplinary research approach, involving specialists from the
psychological, medical and physical sciences.
(S/NF) Research in remote viewing follows two general approaches;
forced choice (i.e.; choosing from a limited set of target
possibilities), and free response (i.e., target possibilities are
unlimited). The free response research usally involves "perception
of images" by the viewer that can be directly compared to the
intended target material. This free response approach is amenable
to application developments and has been the primary focus of
government sponsored investigations at SRI International, Menlo
Park, CA.
(U) The remote action research usually involves two basic types of
experiments; attempts (via mental volition) to cause a large number
of electronically generated random events to deviate significantly
from chance values, and attempts to cause large scale effects on
material samples or biological system.
b. (U) General Findings/Developments:
(U) Scientific investigations involving case studies of spontaneous
occurrences of psychoenergetic phenomena began in the 1880's in
London, England. Scientific investigations based on a statistical
approach were initiated by J. B. Rhine at Duke University, Durham,
NC in the 1930's. Research in psychoenergetics grew from a few
individuals in the 1930's and 1940's to at least 50 that are active
in the field today at the various academic and private laboratories.
Research results over this period have been variable; not all the

 Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001800700001-5
findings from specific researchers have been replicated by others.
As in any investigation involving people as experimental subjects,
it is difficult to control all the factors that may influence the
experimental outcome. Variables such as attitude, motivation, and
personality traits confound test results and make interlaboratory
comparisons difficult. This experiment variability is especially
critical when statistical inferences are used to draw conclusions
regarding the reality of the phenomena and/or to identify physical
and psychological parameters that are critical in producing the
phenomena.
(U) Some of the experimental results and observations that are in
general agreement in the psychoenergetics research community are:
- Psychoenergetics are real phenomena; however it is difficult
to establish strict proof-of-principle since very large data
bases are required for providing strong statistical effects.
- Most everyone has some level of psychoenergetic capability,
although the ability may be latent and not developed.
- Physical parameters, such as distance or target characteris-
tics, are not critical factors for phenomena occurrence.
- Task complexity is not a critical factor.
- Some factors that may enhance occurrence of the phenomena
are:
o Various pyschological states involving relaxation or
lessening of attention to external stimuli.
o An experimental environment that is friendly and sup-
portive.
o Strong focus on experimental goals and objectives.
o High degree of motivation and desire to succeed.
o Continued practice on specific tasks (unless boredom,
fatigue, loss of interest or distractions occur).
o Use of certain training methods that help develop and
improve performance.

- People that succeed in psych.oenergetic tasks are generally
those who can accept reality of the phenomena and do not react
defensively to the experiment.
- The capability seems to be more easily accessable to the very
young; level of schooling or age may contribute to loss of
latent ability.
- People that have strong bonds (i.e. twins, mother/child) are
more likely to demonstrate psychoenergetics ability.
- People that consistently do well in experimental tasks are
more likely to be extroverts, artistic in nature, or less
reliant on logical thinking processes. This also correlates to
research indicating the right side of the brain (artistic
functions) is more likely involved in psychoenergetic processes
than the left brain hemisphere (logical, analytical functions).
- The data capacity of psychoenergetics may follow certain
informational-limiting laws that are observed in quantum
physical processes.
- The most successful experimental replications have been in
the remote viewing approach developed by SRI, and in the
ganzfeld approach (a relaxing and internal noise reduction
method) developed by the Psychophysical Research Laboratories
at Princeton, NJ.

c. (S/NF) Specific Activities/Developments:
(S/NF) The following identifies key academic and private facilities
currently involved in psychoenergetics research, and summarizes their
key findings and current activities:
1. (S/NF) SRI International, Menlo Park, Ca.
(S/NF) A small group in the Radio Physics Laboratory at SRI has
been investigating psychoenergetics phenomena since 1971. Their
emphasis has been on remote viewing research (RV), although
some remote action (RA) has also been conducted.
(S/NF) Developments from SRI have been central in establishing
the current DoD effort in this area (key results are summarized
in Section II). SRI's main contribution to the field of
psychoenergetics has been in demonstrating the repeatability of
RV, in identifying factors that contribute to successful RV, in
developing methods useful for training RV skills, and in identi-
fying some psychological factors that are useful for locating
people with RV potential.
(S/NF) SRI has also performed a variety of remote action (RA)
experiments. One series of RA experiments used a sensitive
photomultiplier tube to see if possible physical effects could
be detected in the vicinity of RV target material; another ex-
periment explored possible RA influences on bacteriological
systems. Results indicated some unusual effects occurred,
though they were not statistically strong.
(S/NF) SRI will continue to be the prime contractor for an-
titicipated R/D sponsored research in a broad range of
psychoenergetic topics.
2. (U) School of Engineering and Applied Science, Princeton
University, Princeton, N.J.
(U) Comprehensive psychoenergetics research has been conducted
by the School of Engineering and Applied Science since 1979.
This research is headed by Dean Robert Jahn, and is identified
as the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Program.

 Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001800700001-5
(U) This program has three separate but complementary efforts.
The first concerns the development and implementation of remote
action experiments in which the operators attempt to distort
the output of a variety of physical devices or systems, all of
which incorporate some random or pseudo-random component or
process. The second is a continuing series of experiments in
remote viewing, or remote perception, emphasizing the develop-
ment and application of computerized, analytical judging pro-
cedures. The third is the development of a theoretical model
useful for correlating and interpreting experimental results,
and for guiding the development of future research.
(U) Over the past six years, remote action experiments produced
a data base of about 600,000 trials (more than 100 million
binary samples) comprising 70 experimental series by 26
different people. About 25 percent of the operators have
independently generated results beyond chance that are directly
correlated with their intention to distort the distributions.
Statistically replicable signatures have been noted in the raw
data that distinguish the operators. The combination of the
entire data base indicates a clear departure from chance
expectation; this finding helps support the reality of the
remote action phenomenon.
(U) The remote viewing portion of the program explores acquisi-
tion of information about geographical locations distant both
in space and time. The protocol requires a "viewer " to gen-
erate a free-response description of an unknown target where a
"beacon" person is, was, or will be situated at a prescribed
time.
(U) Of approximately 400 trials, the majority have been gen-
erated from a few minutes to several days before the target was
selected, and the distances between viewer and target have
ranged from less then a mile to several thousand miles. The
results were statistically significant and insensitive to the
spatial or temporal separations involved.
(U) The theoretical aspect of the program has led to a model
of reality using quantum mechanics that integrates the nature
of human consciousness and the nature of the physical environ-
ment. While the model does not yet permit quantitative pre-
dictions, its implications provide guidance for experimental
hypotheses and designs.

(U) The results of several years of psychoenergetics research
at Princeton University indicate that a direct effect of human
intention on the performance of physical systems is possible,
and that remote acquisition of descriptive information is also
possible. The evidence in both cases is statistical, and the
individual effects are small; over very large data bases they
compound to consequential levels.
3. (U) Psychophysical Research Laboratories (PRL):
(U) The Psychophysical Research Laboratories (PRL) has been in
existence since 1979. PRL is particularly qualified to conduct
research in psychoenergetic phenomena, given that its staff is
largely drawn from the Maimonides Medical Center (New York
City), an institution that had been conducting psychoenergetic
experiments for 16 years. For the past several years, PRL's
principal areas of research have centered on enhancing remote
viewing abilities, on design of video games to investigate
remote action (RA) on random event generators, and on
performing integrated analytical studies in various areas of
psychoenergetics. PRL plans to continue its efforts in these
areas, and plans to expand its research into personality
factors associated with psychoenergetics.
(U) PRL has published several dozen research papers that show
statistically significant results in experiments related to
ESP/remote viewing. Some of the research was devoted to the
search for factors that contribute to success or failure. De-
gree of purpose, or goal orientation, is a significant factor.
Their future research will address other parameters that may
correlate to success or failure in RV tasks.
4. (U) Mind Science Foundation (MSF), San Antonio, TX.
(U) The MSF was organized in 1958 and is dedicated to scien-
tific studies of the human mind. Its work is made possible by
a permanent endowment as well as research grants and charitable
contributions from the public. With a small staff of full-time
scientists, who draw from their respective backgrounds in
anthropology, pharmacology, psychology, physics and physiology,
MSF pursues a multidisciplinary research program in both remote
action (RA) and remote viewing (RV).

(U) Some of their recent remote action work examines RA in-
fluences on biological systems and on computer devices.
Biological effects examined include electrodermal activity of
human volunteers and behavior of small animals. Results of
these experiments are statistically significant and reliable.
Many people are able to produce the effects, although more
practiced individuals are more consistent. Experiments are
now in progress to determine if it is easier to influence an
inanimate rather than an animate target system involving human
muscle activity and an electronic random event generator.
(U) The research to date on random event generators has also
shown statistically significant results. An individual can in
fact influence, via mental violition, the signal output of an
electronic device over a long period of time (several thousand
events).
(U) Over the past few years, remote viewing experiments
involving distant target scenes or objects have also achieved
statistically significant results. MSF is currently examining
theoretical issues associated with remote viewing (i.e.,
information limits). They also plan to continue research that

occurrence.
5. (U) Other U.S. Facilities:
(U) Research into various aspects of psychoenergetics is being
carried out currently at several other facilities in the U.S.
At the University of Delaware Marine Biology Laboratory in
Lewes, Delaware, investigations are commmencing into whether
marine algae are sensitive to RA influence. Specifically, a
single cell velocity measuring apparatus (a computer-controlled
bio-laser doppler) has been constructed, which measures the
vertical component of velocity as the organism swims through
the focus of the laser beam. During RA test periods, an
individual who is located several meters away from a shielded
room containing the apparatus, attempts to influence the motion
of the algae.

(U) At Time Research Institute (TRI) in Woodside, CA., research
is in progress that examines correlations between
psychoenergetic performance, geophysical activity and ambient
low-frequency electromagnetic fields. In a recent year-long
study, preliminary results were obtained that correlated
psychoenergetic performance both with geophysical information
and with low frequency fields .
(U) Mars Measurement Associates is one of the principal archi-
tects of a performance measure of personality known as the Per-
sonality Assessment System (PAS). The PAS is a unique
psychological instrument because it is based on performance
rather than self-report. Mars has recently completed a year-
long study that correlated certain personality categories with-
in the PAS to psychoenergetic performance. Work is underway to
investigate the use of the PAS as a predictive screening device
for potential psychoenergetic performers.

TO3 VP
1. The FY1987 budget justification cycle is about to begin. Congressional
Staffers have expressed strong interest in description of all NFIP
components' budgets by Base, ongoing, and New aggregations. It is still
unknown to what degree these changes will occur; however, it is clear that
the GDIP Major Project writeups (former Murphy Annexes) will be even more
prevalent in the FY 1987 CBJB than they were last year. Pending
determination of the CBJB's final form and the production schedule, you are
encouraged to begin updating last year's Major Project writeups. More
detailed guidance for CBJB preparation will be issued as soon as available.
2. Because of the longer lead time required for the preparation of graphics
to be included in the CBJB, submit your proposed graphics to RCC-2 (sketches,
photos, charts) by 1 November-3-995. Two graphics per expenditure center are
desired and must include expend ture center labels and captions. Graphics
should sell the program.
3. It is also time to begin the groundwork for Congressional testimony and
the FY1987 GDIP Statement for the Record. Please provide us with your most
significant highlights in bullet form to RCC- vember 1985. Please
include sufficient detail to clearly explain t he accomp s men and its value
to the consumer--operators, the weapon development community, national
decisionmakers, or the Intelligence Community itself. Emphasize the "So
what." Statements such as "...supported exercise xyz..." are of little use.
State what we learned; how US plans, weapons, or operations changed; who
cared about the intelligence they were provided and why did they care.
4. The intelligence committees have directed the following actions in the
classified annexes to their aut or za on repor s.
-- The HMI has directed an special annual report in the CBJB on the,
accomplishments of G_QN ABSORB. Include an explanation of the
criteria or measures of effectiveness ued by the program manager to
assess the value of the program. Summkrize Intelligence Community,
t and foreign develo ments in the field.
