Suggestions - Criteria for AIR Star Gate Review & Evaluation
Use the criteria defined below to determine the value and effectiveness of the
government-funded, contractor-performed R&D over the past 20 years in the field of
paranormal psychology.
? Determine If the funded activities advanced the state-of-the-art in understanding the
natural principles underlying paranormal psychology, specifically the phenomena of
Remote Viewing (RV) and precognition (PC). If so, how and to what extent?
? Using the standards normally applied to scientific disciplines, were the funded R&D
activities conducted with the necessary technical rigor and discipline? Have these
funded activities -proven? -demonstrated? -enhanced? the existence of RV and/or
PC. Justify your answers.
- Does the utility of these phenomena extend beyond the laboratory and, if so, under
what conditions and/or constraints?
? Are there new research topics which are paramount to improve our understanding of
these phenomena? Are there definable and realistic approaches to perform the
related research?
? This field has been the frequent domain of charlatans. Are the underlying principles
now understood adequately such that means to obviate such fraudulent use can be
defined? If so, what are these means.
? Are there other recent studies, research reports, analyses, etc. by accredited
agencies, researchers, etc. that support and/or supplement your conclusions? if so,
please specify.
