for btoco=wicatiQk%9 tubog*Cch at the Universi CY or I.M!"Insrad.
Wjor aspect3_o-r-T'K-cwork at this laboratory are to conduct research
and to develop miachines capable of monitoring, testing and studying
telepathic communication Q9).
5. (U) Ta 1953. Doctor Vasilev claimed to have conducted successful
lont-distanco-T-C-1cpathic experiments bacwpen Leningrad and Sevastapol,
s` distance of M6 -miles, with th"id of an ultra-short-wava
(Ulf) radio transmitter. As a result, Doctor VasLlev was ccmvinced
that his experlmo!nts, and those he conducted jointly with the
Moscow-ba3cd-Sekhcerev Brain Institute, offered scientific ESS-04
of telcoa-EFic communic4tions. His next goal was to identify
the nature of brain energy that produces it (59).
Theorizing on the above experiments, one Soviet scientist suggested
that telepathic impulses are radiated along the lines of bits of
Inform4clon in a cybernetic system. Annther scientist Is knovm
to be working on tha idea of tire as energy, speculating that
telepathic transmissions may be propagazed through a supposed
tima-energy system, rathor than through the electromagnetic field.
6. (U) Soviet research into biocommunicatlons phenomena does nor
appear to bo earth-bound and limited to inner space, but apparently
extends to outer space as wall. The so-called Father of Soviet
Rocketry, X.E. TsioLkovsky, stated that&
"In the cominst era of space flIghts, telepathic
abilities are necessary. While the space rocket
mat bring men toward knowledge of the grand
secrets in the universe, tho study of psychic
phenomena can lead us toward knowledge of the
mysteries of the human m1nd. It,is precisely
the solution of this secret which proaLLsas the
greatest achievements." (80).

5. (u) it is a kncrni fact that tlic Soviet Union tz1es the appearance

it can do with o,'ganic matter, and in view of the very real Soviet
threat in this sector, thc science of parapsycholo should be
investigated to Its-7ullest potential, perhaps to the benefit
of national defense.
9. (U) A@cording to Pullman (92) , Director of the Southeast
Hypnosis Research Center in Dallas, Texas, before the end of the
1970s, Soviet diplomats will be able to sit in their foreign
em@assics and use ESP (in this case a for= of tha'apport technique)
to steal the 9ccre:s of their enemies. (See also reference 91,

that the Russians are probably now trying to perfect it. Pullman

3. (U) It is generally conceded that the above four areas
sound like science f ict icn, 'hmiever. the liter-tture appears -to
support (b) as beLrg the most possible use of pni phcnorl--na
during the time Era:-:c of this study. Again troin Ostrander ind
Schroeder who ci:c Oliver Caldwoll, an expert on SOVICL affairs
and past-acting curnmissioner for Intcrn@t_i@_nal Education in HDI,
as follows:
"I z@m amazed at the skepticism and sometimes hostility
vhich I encoLL)ter when I try to tel I /@mcric3ns about
80= of the experimcntation which is taking place in
the USSR in parnpoycholovy and related fields. I find
this strange becatise there is available docurcritation
in translation which substantiates most of the things
I saw in the USSR. I am really disturbed, because If
the"United Staccs does not raakc a serious effort tu
move forward on this new frontier, in another ten
years it may be too late."
4. (U) In closing this section on parapsychology a quote from
&stronaut Ed&ar D. @Utchell, Jr. is appropriate (131).
"Extrasensory perception iq not a matter of belief.
There is a great deal of strrious scientific work
being done in it, and it has been established over
the last thirty Years that it is a matter of proba-
bility, and the probabilities have been established
beyond chance. I think it is an Important work. I
happen to be curious about it, and thus have been pur-
suiiig It for many yeirs. This happened to be an
opportun ity (Apollo 14 lunar inission) to do another
little step - a piece in the scientific puzzle of
what man's all about."
