SUBJECT: SUN STREAK - Annual Report 1986 (U)
TO: DT (Dr. Vorona)
1. (S/SK/WNINTEL) The mission of the SUN STREAK Prototype
Operational Group (POG) remained dedicated to the application of
the psychoenergetic process of Remote Viewing (RV) as a potential
tool of probative intelligence value to the Department of Defense
and other intelligence community agencies. Attached is the SUN
STREAK Activities Report (SAR) for CY 1986. The SAR documents
the results of the three principle activities of the POG during
CY 1986: Operations, Utility. Assessments, and Training.
2. (S/SK/WNINTEL) The POG is comprised of professional
intelligence officers whose primary concern is the achievement of
operational results that are of intelligence value. Because SUN
STREAK is not engaged in a venture into pure science, but rather
one of utility, results are judged on their value to the
intelligence community.. Through the application of disciplined
procedures and strict controlled conditions the results reported
in the 1986 SAR are both credible and enlightening. The attached
SAR, when viewed in conjunction with a body of wisdom accumulated
over previous years, clearly illustrates SUN STREAK's
demonstrated potential value to the intelligence consumer.
3. (S/SK/WNINTEL) With the arrival of on 6 January
1987, the staff is at its full complement. The end of CY 1986
leaves us with four fully trained RV sources. Two sources

SUN STREAK ANNUAL ACTIVITIES REPORT
1. (S/SK/WNINTEL) SUN STREAK activities include operational
intelligence collection, training, and the assessment of
intelligence utility of remote viewing information. Operational
efforts are conducted in response to collection requirements
validated by DIA, DT. Training of remote viewing sources is
designed to develop source abilities commensurate with
operational tasking. The Utility Assessment program has as its
strategy the appraisal of individual source capabilities as well
as a value (intelligence utility) assessment of information
produced through applied remote viewing. The following charts
depict the activities of the SUN STREAK office during CY-1986.
Further details of the operational effort are considered "close
hold" for purposes of operational effectiveness. Personnel
requiring access to operational details,should contact the SUN
STREAK office. Further information concerning training is
provided in the training report (Enclosure 5). Utility
Assessment files are available at the SUN STREAK office.

2. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Included herewith are two graphics. The SUN
STREAK Production Chart (Enclosure 1) shows the level of activity
through the year as the unit reached operational readiness. It
is anticipated that the monthly production average of 37.5
sessions will be increased by 30 % in 1987. A count of remote
viewing sessions is at best a crude scale for measuring unit
intelligence production. Ultimately, however, sessions must be
conducted to collect information and to some extent the more
sessions conducted the higher the probability of collecting
information of value to the intelligence consumer. The Type of
Sessions chart (Enclosure 2) shows the distribution of sessions
over the three basic activities of the SUN STREAK office:
Operations, Training, and Utility Assessment. As the unit moved
towards operational readiness more than 50% of the remote viewing
sessions were devoted to training. This will not be the case in
1987. As the chart indicates, in the last quarter of 1986 the
number of training sessions fell as operations and utility
assessments rose. This trend will continue into 1987.
3. (S/SK/WNINTEL) In addition to the above scheduled 1986
activities, SUN STREAK office personnel developed an Intelligence
Evaluation Sheet for use by selected intelligence consumers.
This evaluation sheet was designed to be the basis by which SUN

STREAK techniques can be assessed and/or modified to improve
overall-value.
4. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Throughout the history of SUN STREAK many
briefings have been conducted. Many of these briefings have been
structured around high profile, successful remote viewings. In
so doing the history and development of the project has always
been overshadowed by the presentation of selected successful
sessions. Included with this annual report is a draft SUN-STREAK
briefing (Enclosure 4). The briefing does not focus on specific
or spectacular remote viewing results but seeks to provide
information and an accurate record on the history and development
of the DoD effort in psychoenergetics and the current project,
SUN STREAK.
5. (U) We have had five office personnel attend training
courses which are necessary for working with the newly received
Office Information System (OIS). This schooling included five
courses for our Computer Operations Manager, and one Systems
Introduction course each for our secretary, one training officer,
and two project officers. Our Computer Operations Manager has
developed an office operating system from the software procured
with the system, and is presently engaged in the development of a
comprehensive database management system which will meet our
record-keeping, reports-generation, and data retrieval needs.

INTELLIGENCE EVALUATION SHEET
INFORMATION and INSTRUCTIONS:
The information in this report was obtained in direct response to
an intelligence collection requirement provided by your office.
The material furnished to you has been acquired through a unique
and highly sensitive collection technique. Your care in
evaluating this information will form the basis by which USI can
assess this technique and/or modify and refine the technology to
improve its overall value. While formulating your evaluation the
following comments concerning this unique collection technique
may be helpful.
Foremost it must be stated that the information obtained through
this technique is likely to consist of a mixture of correct,
incorrect or at times apparently, irrelevant data. Given this
anomaly the consumer should be sensitive to the following:
a. Conceptual descriptive data tends to be more reliable
than analytic labeling. As an example, a source may
inappropriately report (label) a body of water in an artificial
holding device at a designated target as a "recreational swimming
pool," when in fact it is a water purification sewage pool. More
critical however, is that an aircraft fuselage may be erroneously
labeled by the source as a submarine hull. Caution is therefore
advised when a source's descriptions evidence a great deal of
analytic labeling. Again, conceptual descriptive data tends to
be more reliable than analytic labeling.
b. Certain anomalies may exist in the overall descriptive
reporting. A report on a known three building complex may, for
example, only contain data pertaining to two buildings.
Furthermore, significant buildings or facilities may be
attributed to a site when it is known that such "additions" do
not exist. Such gaps or additions are neither intentional nor an
attempt to fabricate information. In fact, they occasionally may
prove useful with careful analysis on the part of the consumer.
When this type of serious gap or addition is encountered it
should only be weighed`n the context of the actual tasking and
how it affects the results of the information sought. In other
words, if you were initially seeking the purpose of a deep
circular hole in the ground, do not be concerned about additional
descriptions of a nearby lake when previously confirmed
information indicated no lake is present at the site. Instead,
focus your evaluation on the data pertaining to the deep circular
hole, while within reason, ignoring extraneous data.

c. At times, some data may appear to be abstract with no
apparent importance even though other data tends to confirm and
improve upon the known data base on a target. Information of
this nature may, at a later date, be valuable. For example, a
reported lack of personnel at a normally bustling defense
installation may seem incongruous until it is learned at a later
date that this particular reporting period coincided with a
evacuation drill.
d. The consumer should be aware that for reasons of
security, strict compartmentation and operational effectiveness,
the actual collectors (sources) of this data are given only
general guidance. Therefore, the collectors may tend to report
on many seemingly extraneous facets of a target as well as the
specific area of interest to the consumer. If this otherwise
superfluous data is known to be true, the veracity of the
source's other descriptions is enhanced.
It is recommended that the consumer first examine the information
provided to isolate the data already known, if any, about the
target. From this data base the consumer should extract any new
and heretofore unknown information relevant to the specific
target. The "irrelevant" information should be examined
carefully in light of the comments listed above. Patently false
or irrelevant information should be weighted as a facet of your
evaluation only when this data contradicts previously confirmed
information pertaining to the target.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, the Intelligence
Evaluation Sheet (IES), or any information provided to you by
this activity please contact this office at any time.
