Approved For Release 2002/11/13: CIA-RDP79-00999A000400050004-2 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Remote Viewing Experiment Colonel Morgan In early July 1975 Col. Morgan, an American A.ir Farce officer, was kidnapped in Beirut. Several days after the abduction, Pat Price called to volunteer information about the capture. Pat was debriefed at length and his statement was turned over to the Air Force for verification -- while Morgan was still a captive. The information was quite specific and detailed and included descriptions of the people involved, the procedures used and the location of the group. To simplify verification, the report was broken down into 187 '?bits" of information which were then evaluated on a four point scale -- True, Partly True, False, and Impossible to Determine. The results were very one-sided. Of the 187 "bits" of information, 128 proved False, 9 were Partly True, 6 were True and 43 were Impossible to Determine. As an experiment in "out of body travel" this must therefore be considered a failure. If anything, there was a negative correlation. This is another example of the unpredictability of the information produced through remote viewing. On the positive side it does reinforce Pat's candor and basic integrity. He could have cheated by feeding us information from the press, as the newspapers were more accurate than his report.
