PROJECT T GRILL FLAME QUESTION: Project GRILL FLAME is an Army and DIA jointly financed effort to study novel intelligence collection techniques. The fiscal year 1982 justification material states that GRILL FLAME studies will help to identify the capabilities and vulnerabilities associated with paranormal phenomenon having military applications. 1. Can you provide a description of Project GRILL FLAME to include the objectives of the project and exactly what paranormal phenomenon DIA and the Army are studying? ANSWER: 1. GRILL FLAME is a planned three year joint program which is in its first year (FY81) between DIA and the Army to investigate in detail certain paranormal phenomenon, such as, remote viewing and psychokinesis that have potential military applications. Emphasis this year has been on evaluating application potential and limitations of remote viewing ( the ability of individuals to mentally collect data at a distance) phenomena and to evaluate the significance of foreign work, particularly as it may pose a threat to the United States. 1-A )il.
