B. (U) Customer is an organizational entity within the
Intelligence Community which desires information obtained from
remote viewers for operational and/or analytical purposes.
C. (U) Double Blind is the condition set where people in
session with a remote viewer do not have any knowledge whatsoever
of the target.
D. (U) Evaluation is a written assessment of the information a
remote viewer has received during a session. The Project Officer
provides the evaluation for a Proficiency Enhancement Project and
the customer provides an evaluation for an Operational Project.
E. (U) Experiment is a test or tentative procedure conducted
for the purpose to discover if an individual has a natural remote
viewing talent.
F. (U) Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) are perceptions which
cannot be explained by known sensory means.
G. (C/NF) Feedback is information about an intended target.
This is displayed to a remote viewer by the Project Officer after
a training or Proficiency Enhancement project is completed and
the information is secure. Feedback in an Operational Project is
provided by the customer. Feedback in an Operational Project may
not be immediate due to the fact that the customer may have to do
research or act upon the information.
H. (U) Monitor is an individual who is present during a remote
viewing session. This individual records the data which is
