SUN STREAK ANNUAL REPORT - 1987
.1. (S/SK/WNINTEL) The nature and scope of the POG operational
and training activities are reflected in the following reports:
a. The Operational Project Report at TAB A.
b. The Utility Assessment Report at TAB B.
c. The Viewer Production Report at TAB C.
d. The Personnel Training Report at TAB D.
vacancies authorized by the current TDA and identified as a GS-
0132 OPT 13, and that of a US Army CPT, remain vacant. The
search for suitable candidates to fill the' vacancies is ongoing.
3. (S/SK/WNINTEL) During the reporting period, procedures were
established to cross-train all remote viewers in both modes of
remote viewing, specifically: Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV);
and, Extended Remote Viewing (ERV). The. required training time
for a remote viewer to become o erational was reduced from two
SG1J years to six months. the first candidate to be
successfully trained Winer the revised training schedule, is
currently operational. has completed Stage IV of
CRV training. She will have comp a ed Stage V and Stage VI of
her training by mid-February 1988. In mid-February 1988,
SG1J will be trained in the ERV methodology. _
an accomplished and experienced Extended Remote
in Stage III of CRV cross-training. It is anticipated
that she will complete Stage IV of her training in late January.
During the reporting period, procedures requiring the preparation
of post session-summaries and the submissipn of sketches as
conceptual re-presentations in support of remote viewing activity,
were established. In an effort to instillself-confidence and
self-discipline, experienced remote viewer were encouraged to
conduct sessions without the assistance or presence of a monitor
or interviewer. This form of independent emote viewing known as
"Solo Remote Viewing", has proven surprisingly successful to
date. The concept of "Solo Remote Viewing" will be pursued
during the coming year. The results of Pr ject 8717 reflect the
first operational effort where solo viewin; was used in about
eight of the sixteen total number of sessions conducted. The
@multg ar? @ncouraging; a high degree of correlation among
viewers surfaced during the course of these sessions against the
target.

4. (S/SK/WNINTEL) An estimated 130 sessions conducted by six
viewers under a Utility Assessment known as Project "P", revealed
a near total inability to predict future events. Except for a
few and isolated, eye-catching successes, there was no evidence
of consistency or reliability in the results obtained from remote
viewing efforts conducted in a predictive mode. Remote Viewing
"the future" does not appear to be feasible or a marketable
aspect of this program at this time. However, a utility
assessment known as Project N-1 and conducted to determine a
remote viewer's ability to determine the substantial content of a
document stored at the DIAC, appeared successful. The ancillary
descriptions of the DIAC as the target storage site prompted the
levy of a second and similar task with the added facet of
attempting to determine the identity and location of the target
building where the document is stored. This activity is being
pursued under Project N-2. If successful, POG may be gaining
meaningful insight on how to best resolve the issue of the so-
called "search problem." Tenative taskers were established in an
effort to collect information related to enemy Plans and
Intentions and to International Terrorism as intelligence
targets. The perceived ideal tasker in such instances, requests
foreign intelligence information about individual(s) suspected of
a specific activity(ies) within a given time window(s). Tasking
specificity may be the key element in this effort. Hopefully it
will provide the point of focus needed to determine an unknown
from known data.
5. (S/SK/WNINTEL) A training project is being established to
further test the feasibility and desirability of remote viewers
to remote view in a solo mode. The training scenario provides
for remote viewers to view an event of historical and
intelligence significance. In response to direct tasking, each
remote viewer will be called upon to unilaterally remote view a
distinct facet of the target. Remote viewers will then
coordinate the results of their findings with other team members
in an effort to resolve the problems. Duplicative tasking will
be avoided as much as possible. Where one remote viewer will be
tasked to report on target personalities, a second will be tasked
against related political activities, a third against military
forces, etc. activity etc.

6. (S/SK/WNINTEL) The scope of the POG remote viewing effort
for 1987 is well documented. An effort to determine the results
of the effort in terms of accuracy and timeliness was
accomplished internally. The intelligence value and use of the
end product remains to be determined through the receipt of
intelligence evaluations prepared by requirement originators and
other intelligence community customers in response to tasking.
