Of par- ticular interest is the development of procedures that have potential military intelligence application, and that can be transmitted to others in a structured fashion (i.e., "training" procedures). (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Under particular study in this effort is whether a Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) technology, a technique that utilizes coordinates to facilitate acquisition of a remote-viewing target, can be successfully transferred to INSCOM personnel. (U) RV is the acquisition and description, by mental means, of infor- mation blocked from ordinary perception by distance or shielding.

(U) General (S/CL-3/NOFORN) At the beginning of FY 1981, SRI International made a decision to develop and codify a promising RV enhancement proc- edure that had emerged from earlier work--a multistage coordinate remote-viewing training procedure developed in conjunction with an SRI consultant, Mr. I. Swann. In this procedure coordinates (latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds) are utilized as the target- ing method. The method is structured to proceed through a series of well-defined stages in a particular order--hypothesized to correspond to stages of increased contact with the target site (see Table 1). The basic hypotheses of the procedure have been investigated under strict double-blind testing conditions to document whether, and to what degree, the hypothesized training approach can provide a viable vehicle for RV technology transfer to INSCOM and other personnel.* (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The particular effort covered in this report concerns training of an INSCOM remote viewer (RVer), #059, to completion on Stages V and VI. B. (U) Description of Procedure 1. (U) Overview (U) To place the Stage V and Stage VI training effort in perspective, we summarize briefly how it develops out of the earlier stages. The key to the earlier stages is the recognition that the major problem with naive attempts to remote view is that the attempt to (U) Puthoff, H.

As the RVer becomes aware of the first few data bits, there appears to be a largely spontaneous and undisci- plined rational effort to extrapolate and "fill in the blanks." This is presumably driven by a need to resolve the ambiguity associated with the fragmentary nature of the emerging perception. The result is a premature internal analysis and interpretation on the part of the RVer. (For example, an impression of a city is immediately interpreted as New York City.) This we call Analytical Overlay (AOL). (U) Our investigation of these overlay patterns suggests a model of RV functioning. With the application of a "stimulus" (e.g., the reading of a coordinate), there appears to be a momentary burst of 11signal" that enters into awareness for a few seconds at most, and then fades away. The overlays appear to be triggered at this point to fill in the void. Success in handling this complex process requires that 3 UNCLASSIFIED Approved For Release 2000/081/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1800280001-3 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1800280001-3 UNCLASSIFIED M the RVer learn to "grab" incoming data bits while simultaneously attempting to identify the overlays as such. Observation of this process in earlier development work suggests that the above behavior can be learned. M As indicated earlier, the RV training procedure is structured to proceed through a series of stages hypothesized to corre- spond to stages of increased contact with the target site. These stages (described in more detail below) are tutored in order, with presentation of theory followed by a series of practice sessions--taking a few weeks per stage. The RVer thus moves up through the stages, concentrating on the elements to be mastered in each stage before proceeding to the next. In the development work that preceded this study, it was found that an experienced remote viewer applying the techniques that are learned in this procedure tends to recapitulate the stages in order. The contents of the six stages (as evolved in the development work) are as shown in Table 1, and the techniques employed in the stages are described in the following paragraphs. 2. (U) Stage I (Major Gestalt (U) In Stage I, the RVer is trained to provide a quick- reaction response to the reading of site coordinates by a monitor. The response takes the form of an immediate, primitive "squiggle" on the paper (called an ideogram), which captures an overall motion/feeling of the gestalt of the site (e.g., wavy/fluid for water). Note that this response is essentially kinesthetic, rather than visual. 3. M Stage II (Sensory Co tact (U) In Stage II, the RVers are trained to become sensitive to physical sensations associated with the site, i.e., sensations they might experience if they were physically located at the site (heat, cold, wind, sounds, smells, tactile sensations, and the like). Again, this response is essentially nonvisual in nature (although color sensa- tions may arise as a legitimate Stage II response). Of course, in both 4 UNCLASSIFIED Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1800280001-3 00 r, I#-% r% Approved For Release 2000 Oftft"MbP96-00788 ROO 1800280001 -3 SECRET/CENTER LANE-3/NOFORN Stage I and Stage II, visual images may emerge spontaneously. In that case, they are not suppressed, but simply noted and labeled as AOLs. 4. (U) Stage III (Dimension, Motion and Mobility) (U) Whereas in Stage I and Stage II viewing, data appear to emerge (typically) as fragmented data bits, in Stage III, we observe the emergence of a broader concept of the site. With Stage I and II data forming a foundation, contact with the site appears sufficiently strengthened that the viewer begins to have an overall appreciation of the site as a whole (which we label "aesthetic impact"). Dimensional aspects such as size, distance, and motion begin to come into play, and emphasis is placed on generating configurational outlines and sketches (e.g., the outline of a city). Examples generated by RVer #059, the RVer of this study, can be found in the footnoted reference. 5. (U) Stage IV (General Analytical Aspects) (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Because of the apparent increased contact with the site that occurs in Stage III (a "widening of the aperture" as it were), data of an analytical nature begin to emerge. This foil ow-on process constitutes Stage IV in our nomenclature. Contained in Stage IV data are elements that go beyond the strictly observational, such as ambience (military, religious, technical), cultural factors (Soviet, Muslim, nomadic), and function or purpose (radar, power generation, BW research, missile storage). Thus, Stage IV viewing transcends simple physical descriptions of what is visible to the eye, to take into account human intention. Because, from an operational point of view, it is the latter that is typically a matter of intelligence concern, Stage IV is considered to be the threshold for crossover into opera- tional utility.

These range from broad categories of sensations and dimensional references, through specific qualities (physical/technological detail, cultural ambience, and func- tional significance), and include tracking of the analytical overlay line. To keep these separate signal lines on track requires exceptional control of session structure--an ability trained for in the lengthy S-I through S-III training period. With these elements under control, the Stage IV data-bit-acquisition procedures can then be used to build up an interpretation as to the site's activities and functions. 6 UNCLASSIFIED Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1800280001-3 Approved For Releas a=/Q8r; §IA-PtFff -00788ROO1800280001-3 tMCIA3 IFI III STAGES V AND VI TRAINING (U) A. (U) Overview (U) Stages I through III are directed toward recognition of the overall gestalt and physical configuration of a target site. In these stages, information is collected in the form of ideograms, their motion and feeling (S-I), sensations at the site (S-II), and sketches that result from expanded contact with the site (S-III). Stage IV is designed to provide information as to overall function, that is, as to the purpose of the activities being carried out at the site. To attain this goal, the RVer learns to track data bits in several separate categories. (U) In the processes through Stage IV, data are extracted from the signal line as they emerge in some natural sequence; any casual attempt to force the process by "probing" or "questioning" the signal line usually results in triggering AOLs. In Stage V, however, special processes for interrogating the signal line without deleterious effects are introduced, and certain drills are carried out to incorporate this capability. In order to extract more refined data, various data bits, which constitute attributes, topics, subjects and objects associated with the site, are queried as to the emanations associated with them. An adjunct to this process involves learning to recognize and handle "AOL drives"--persistent AOLs that color a session. (U) Training on Stage VI involves four general categories: ~ Working toward creating a general three-dimensional model of the major features of the site, using construction materials of various types (e.g., modeling clay, poster paper layouts) , ~ Extending and enhancing qualitative factors intuited to be paramount at the site, Identifying emotional factors of people at the site, Working with training sites in a no-feedback mode in order to strengthen independence of the training mode. In this 7 UNCLASSIFIED Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1800280001-3 a a is F&f 10 Approved For Release 20001wapio DP96-00788RO01 800280001-3 SECRET/CENTER LANE-3/NOFORN (U) mode, a circumscribed intrasession feedback is an option typically used by the training monitor for pedagogical purposes. Feedback phrases consist of five statements, given at appropriate times: 11correct, probably correct, near, can't feedback, site!." (U) with regard to the emphasis on modeling, it-should be noted that the use of such an approach (which was derived empirically) is not simply an attempt to render a more exact representation of the site than can be done verbally, or by means of drawings. Rather, the kines- thetic activity during modeling appears to (1) quench AOL formation associated with purely cerebral processes, and (2) act as a trigger to produce further analytical content on the site--even concerning aspects not being specifically addressed by the modeling. (U) In the delivery of the Stage V and Stage VI training package, S-VI was delivered out of sequence, i.e., delivered first. When RVer #059 completed S-IV training only S-VI training was ready for delivery; S-V training was still in R&D. Because the purpose of S-V is to correct and elaborate, which is an addition to, rather than a foundation for, the use of S-VI procedures, delivery of the two stages in reverse order was an acceptable option. The two stages will therefore be discussed in the order of delivery. B. (U) Stage VI (U) Altogether, 19 sites (listed in Table 2) were used in the S-VI training sequence. (U) As indicated in the footnote to Table 2, those sites noted with a single asterisk (five) are ones for which clay models were con- structed by the trainee during the training session, before access to any feedback materials. All five are shown in Figures I through 5. As can be see, the similarities of the models to the sites are striking. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Among the six test sessions used to complete the S-VI series (in which no feedback was given during the session), the trainee correctly (1) described the Padre Bay, Utah, site (a point on 8 C T SECRET/CENTER LANE-3/NOFORN Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1800280001-3 Approved For Releaso2ffEV4~ gjtfEU6-OO788 ROO 1800280001-3 Table 2 (U) STAGE VI SITES Trial Date/Time Coordinates Site 1 18 Apr 84--1100 42-22'52"N,71-03'40"W Bunker Hill National Monument, MA 2 19 Apr 84--1008 20-10'N,87-29'W Tulum Ruins, Mexico 3 24 Apr 84--1035 35018'36"N,93013'53"W Nuclear Power Plant Russellville, AR 4 25 Apr 84--1102 38012'12"N,85046'10"W Race track at Churchill Downs, KY 5 26 Apr 84--1029 37018'44"N,78-19'15"W High Bridge, Farm- ville, VA 6 26 Apr 84--1035 28024'41"N)81034'58"W Disney World, FL 7 27 Apr 84--0952 37'10'N,86-08'W Mammoth Caves, KY 8 14 May 84--1555 30042'33"N,84052143"W Apalachee Correction- al Institution, Apalachee, FL 9 15 May 84--1146 47057'23"N,118'58'50"WGrand Coulee Dam, WA 10 16 May 84--1209 36002'57"N,95057'03"W Oral Roberts Univer- sity, OK 11 17 May 84--0907 37'41'34"N,88-16'02"W Level Hill Cemetary, Ford County, IL 12 18 May 84--0955 29-38'54"N,82'20'03"W Alachua General Hos- pital, Alachua County, FL 13 26 Jun 84--1036 34047'38"N~82053'55"W Oconee Nuclear Power 26 Jun 84--1415 Plant., SC 27 Jun 84--0915 14 28 Jun 84--1012 37-04'24"N,111018'20"WPadre Bay, UT 15 29 Jun 84--0842 44017'17"N.1110053'21"WRagged Falls, Yellowstone Park, WY 16 2 Jul 84--1015 58-25'30"N,134"03'00"WTaku Glacier, AK 17 3 Jul 84--0949 37024'53"Ni122003'00"WMoffett Field, Mt.

(S/CL-3/NOFORN) Progress on incorporating S-V techniques into the RV process was very rapid for Trainee #059, in part because of having assimilated the S-VI structure first. Only eight sites were required to declare Trainee #059 complete on S-V. The trainee's responses to the sites are listed in Table 3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) In addition to the results generated in the SRI Crai-ning format (Table 3), the client reported to SRI personnel that, after returning to the client facility, Trainee Y[059 began a series of verification tests under client-controlled conditions. It is reported that in the two tests done to date (carried out tinder conditions in which no feedback is provided to the RVer as the descriptions are being ~,enerated), results of the quality reported in the above table were obtained. 15 _e_rl *414 60 a SECRET/CENTER LANE-3/NOFORN Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1800280001-3 Approved For Release 200 - ir"-o"T r% DP96-00788RO01 800280001-3 SECRET/CENTER LANE-3/NOFORN Table 3 (U) STAGE V SITES Trial Date Site Response 1 1 Oct 84 United Nations United Nations 2 2 Oct 84 L'Opera, Paris Opera 3 3 Oct 84 Weyerhauser lumber facilityFactory, floating logs, Longview, WA making lumber 4 4 Oct 84 Library of Congress Library of Congress 5 11 Oct Keeneland Race Course, Racetrack 84 Lexington, KY 6 12 Oct Bureau of Engraving, Printing of money 84 7 30 Nov Geyers steam field, SonomaGeothermal production 84 8 4 Dec 84 Church at Lourdes Church at Lourdes (S/CL-3/NOFORN) 16 10-4 fto 16 SECRET/CENTER LANE-3/NOFORN Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1800280001-3 "r -_ Approved For Release 200"li 6 R r1l - -P96-00788RO01 800280001-3 SECRET/CENTER LANE-3/NOFORN TV TRAINING EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS (U) A.

The trainee's attitude in this position is to be highly commended for (1) his readiness to accept coaching and tutoring in this difficult discipline, (2) attentiveness to all aspects of the discipline as it developed within him, and (3) his patience in working through the subtle intellectual learning process required. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) With regard to the quality of the remote viewing being generated on a routine basis, it would appear that Trainee #059 has an unexcelled potential for continuing to develop remote viewing as a viable information-gathering tool. C. (U) Recommendations for Follow-On Actions (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Trainee #059 is now in the position of being able to contribute valuable information for the carry-over of training into the applications area. Detailed authentication of the skills transfer (e.g., by extensive double-blind testing) was beyond the time/funding scope of this training effort.
