(S/SK/WNINTEL) During Calendar Year 1989, the mission of he SUN STREAK Prototype Operational Group remained dedicated to the exploitation of the Remote Viewing (RV) process to determine its potential and effectiveness as a Human Intelligence (HUMINT) collection tool. The broad parameters of this basic protocol end on 31 December 1989. Emphasis on the practical applications of the Remote Viewing effort against real time targets with ensuing ancillary assessments of the value of the effort will dominate the Remote Viewing scene during Calendar Year 1990. Training will continue on an intermittent, as-needed basis and as a direct adjunct to the operational effort. 2. (S/SK/WNINTEL) SUN STREAK is comprised mainly of professional intelligence officers, a group of highly self- disciplined personnel dedicated to determine operational application of remote viewing as an intelligence gathering tool. Results to date reveal the presence of satisfying results, disappointing shortfalls, and quantifiable limitations directly related to the nature of the tasks at hand. 3. (U) The following reports reflect substantially the scope of the effort for the reporting period: I a. (U)l At TAB A is the Annual Production Report retrieved by remote viewer. b. (U) At TAB B is a production report retrieved and expressed by remote viewing methodology. C. (U) At TAB C is the annual report retrieved and expressed by individual project.

The subcontractor's approach to improving the reliability of RV was to focus on the control 6f those factors that in his view tend to introduce "noise" into the RV product (imaginative, envirorAmental, and interviewer overlays~. The basic components of this training procedure consist of: N (1) Repeated site-address (coordinate) presentation, with quick-reaction response by the reinote" viewer; coupled with a restrictive format for reporting perceived information (to minimize imaginative overlays). (2) The use of a specially-designed, ac-Oustic-tiled, relatively featureless, homogeneo usly-colored "viewing chamber" (to minimize environmental overlays). (3) The adoption of a strictly~plrescribed, limited intworviewer patter (to minimize interviewer overlays). The applied CRV training procedure requires that the trainee learn a prQgressive multi-stage acquisition proces's postulg7ted to correspond to increased contact with the site. Initially the trainee is presented with RV sites requiring minimal detection and decoding skills C'stage one" sites). When the-trainee demonstrates an ability to control the "signal line" and reliably "objectifies" acpura+-e descriptions, the next "stage" of training is engaged. This procedure continues through "stage six" and- usually takes a number of months to master. The CRV Stages are C~ identified 2S fOllOWS: Stage One Stage0Two f2 Stage Three - islands, mountains~ deserts, etc., sites of quality s Insory value; sites which are uniquely descr bable.through touch, taste, sound, Colo , or odor such as glaciers, volcanoe4, industrial plants, etc. sites possessing sIgnificant dimensional characteristics su h as buildings, bridges, airfields, etc. Appendix 2 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-R[jP96-00789ROO1800680001-8 .2 G Approved For Release 2000/0'0~6~~:,:.6' 6 . ~ADP96-00789 ROO 1800680001 -8 F4,1i r i ILs1 9; 41 U 3 1' 2 11 j, qtj;i ;It. i V41 31J.- )111 :11 1, 4. i 4- 1 nuc- as tc-c III) i cal .41- (--a III ia ry !I a e.tc., Stage Five sites. retiuirilng the- interrogation of 1JU;4lj(,at,jVQ JfI4C1Ijt.-1j to produce refined information nuch -is aircraft, trac-kiiig radar, bi omedical renearch facilityg tank production plant, etc. Stage Six sites requiring direct, three-dimensional. a s r . essiri4--nt of site elements to one another such as airplane.-. inside one of three camouflaged hangars or a military compound with a command building, barracks, motor pool, and underground weapons storage area. As Stage Six is engaged, an assessment of relative temporal. and spatial dimensional elements along with further qualitative elements evolve into the consciousness of the trainee. There are three classes of CRV training. These classes deal with feedback requirements during the CRV sessioni control ofl. interviewer patter, trainee skill development, and motivation. These three classes (AP 131"and C).'are discussed below but differ pomewbat from the definition applied and published by SRI-1 for Class A. Biand C CRV training. ;11; CLASS C: When a trainee begins a "stage" of training the sessions are of the Class C type. During this phase, the trainee must learn to differentiate between emerging site relevant perceptions and imaginative overlay. To a-~.-sist the trainee in this learning, immediate feedback is provided during thle session. The interviewer (monitor) is provided with a feedback pachage which may contain a map, photographs, and/or narrative description of the site. During Class C sessions the interviewer provides the trainee with immediate feedback for each element of data be provides, with the exception that negative feedback is not given. Should the trainee state an element of information that appears incorrect, the interviewer remains silent. Feedback, in order to r--revent.inadvertent cuing (interviewer overlay), is in the form of very spf--cific statements made by the interviewer. These statements and their definitions are as follows: L Correct (C) - This indicates that the information is correct in context with the site location, but is not sufficient to end the session. j 2 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO1800680001-8 Approved For Release 2000/08/0:- iiP96-00789R001800680001-8 I',- y CC,)- 1- (1'(:) T11113 !It-'It( IfIt'llt V-0:-NS JI-It -A)Out the ~,i to i itii vicw(~*r , Jj;,vJ rag I imi U.-d inform;d-it.,11 t11o"1L;h he cannot be -;Urn, t1lat tLe inforynation provided is correct, Ne.ar (14) - This Indicates" that the infor'mation providc.-d is not an element of the specific site, but is correct for the immediate area.

It means neither correct nor incorrect. Site (S) - This indieptes the site has been correctly identified for the specific stage being trained (manmade structure for Stage One, bridge for Stage Three? etc.). "Site" indicates that the session is completed. CLASS B: once a trainee begins to demonstraAe his abil.ity to reliably distinguish imaginative overlay and report site relevant data elements, feedback is withdrawn. In Class B training sessions the interviewer knows what site he de.sires the trainee to describe but does not~-provid6 the tr~aine1l,-e with any direct feedback during the course of the sessilon. This process develops the trainee's ability'to internal-ize X his awareness of relevant (correct) versus extraneous (incorrect) cognitive structures (mental perceptions). DuriIng Class B sessions the interviewer 'Imonitor) may direct the trainee to elaborate on specific elements of data provided, thereby guiding the trainee to describe specific areas of the site. The interviewer is only permitted to direct the trainee to elaborate on specific elements already reported ~by the trainee. The interviewer may not introduce new elements into the session (cue the trainee) in an attempt to encourage the trainee to properly describe +-be site. Class B sessions are especially helpful in developing refined skills in the trainee. For example, when the interviewer knows that a particular site area 'within asite may be of interest (i.e., a specific room in a building), he can guide the trainee's attq_-nti;on to that area by direc ing the trainee to elaborate on specif.10c elements of data hich w the interviewer knows to pertain to-the area of interes It. With pract Iice in Class B, the trainee soon learns to control his own perceptual faculties and develops confidence inihis ability. 3 Approved For Release 2000108/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO1800680001-8 .0- V r-L R.

OF B I NARY --RUIATIVES ALTE Remote Viewers have demonstratred little abi I.i ty, to discri m! nate alphanumeric information. Remote Perception and description of geographic locations, buildinrs, and objects appears to be di f f erent than. the remote perception of man generated -symbol i c data (letters and numbersY. Abstract Referents Discrimination of Binary Alternatives (ARDBA) training has two objectives. The first is to identify trainees who ponsess an innate ability to psychically discriminate between different alphanumerics and second to determine the feasibility of training tbis ability. The training/testing program has been designed so that training progresses Mirough five training phases from simplistic exerci!;es to the eventual use of abstract referents (i.e. geographic coordinates) to direct the traineestattention to the discrimination between binary alternatives at remote locations. Each oneof these phases requires a different behavior on the' part of the traifiee and is conducted for different ptirposes with an overall goal in mind. Following-is an overview of these ARDBA Training Phases: PHASE I During Phase I the trainee is directed to use whatever psychic ability available to discriminate between binary alternatives by active selection within a closed target pool. The trainer then provides positive oral feedback when appropriate to reinforce the trainee's own visual field. Negative oral feedback is never provided. I The purpose of this phase of trainingZtesting is threefold. The first purpose is to determine if a particular individual has any ability. The second purpose is to establish a data base on which to base further training/testing and the third purpose is to build self confidence on the part of the trainee through immediate positive feedback. PHASE 2 1f a trainee is able to complete Phase I (successfully discriminate between binary alterhatives to a statistically significant level), Phase 2 islinitiated. During Phase 2 the training environment is similar with the exception that feedback is reduced. The trainee in no longer provided with visual feedback from-the target pool. The only feedback provided is given orally by the trainer.

A data base of trainee pi~rform:tnca is also evp.1,11ded durilig s period. PHASE 3 During this phase of training the emphasis sheers away somewhat from discrimination of binary alternatives and begins to focus on Qhe trainees ability to respond to abstract referents. In ARDBA Phase 3 the trainer nelects a target from within the closed target pool and then dirrects the trainee to state what the !zelected target is (choone between binary alternatives). Positive oral feedback is provided when appropriate by the trainer. The overall purpose of this phase is to begin to transfer a trainee's demonstrated ability outside the immediate environment -and to prepare t1he trainee for the next phase. PHASE 4 This phase establishes abstract referent cuing as the prime directive. The-trainee is-prresented with a grid matrix consisting of six positions. Each position will has a ."coordinate." The task for the trainee is to discr-minate betwee~n binary alternatives at a given coordinate'(av;bstract,, referent cue) provided by the trainer. The trainer records the results but does not provide feedl~ack to the trainee. This phase serves to extinguish the trainee's dependence on the previous target pool as well as external feedback. PHASE S!, Given that a trainee can demonstrate reliable performance through Phase 4, Phase 5 attempts to chain together six matrix "coordinates" into one six digit binary number. The trainer provides the trainee with "coordihates" as cuing and the trainee attempts to discriminate betjween binary alternatives3for each of six.different 'bstract referents. Feedback is given -inly after the coniple ion of six coordinates." This phase completes the training concept and d6mands the trainee accurately respond to a series f requi rements prior to receiving feedback. 2 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO1800680001-8 1% r-2 r,~- ?-- f---- -- Approved For Release 2000~,WOM: _-007,89-R1001800680001-8 -RPPP.q 7n cq~i"rj t, t7~,n in I i S33 V Q I Vt 1193. t1.'; C' .4.1 .1 S I;X'L -rj 't 11-Y coda 111 cl.k :2 r;f 3 ne c) ir- ce 1 j3j~ W ,LvLn ;ALLellopts to identify this code U" -'f rill 11 To be c. f fcc t i v e, a sou rce'~~'- IIS 6~- b cc P.. y -! t we e n -A IL a V4~ t bf b 1 na r ya I tern, u n chn I n discrimina e -a 4140~'~Jhe'~AIUI t4wrl.

Basic training in remote viewing MV) usually u!'-Ca geographic locations as targets for the resuote viewer. For the purposes of basic RV training nuch targets serve well to develop elementary viewer skills and establish some level of viewer nelf confidence as well as a degree of rellabili ty. Basic RV training does not, however, place any emphasis on the accurate acquisition and description of fundamental s\tructural elements or individual objects. Since such information is important in the practical c-xploitation of RV, training exercises In ORV are conducted. ORV exercises differ only in the context that the designated target to be described by the remote viewer is a concea, led object as opposed to a geographic site. The procedures of basic RV training programs remain the same.

ED VIEWNG EXTENDE The Extended Remote Viewing ()-'.I?V) traininp a procedure draws n h expertise of over two decaden of research by Indepondent inviastigators and recognized academic institutions including the University of Virginia Medical Conter, 'the Mairrionides Mr-ldir-al Cent-er, the Mind Scfence Foundation , the University of California at Davis, Texas Southern University of lfuustonj Mundelein College, Syracuse University and others. The ERV approach has as its goal the subjective 'tenoporal extpnsion of subliminally psychic impressions. The trained F.J?V percipirent Is able to control, observe, and report Perceptions which would otherwi!;e be ignored or neglected fleeting Images. This extension of the perceptual window is accomplished through the achievement of a discrete state of,consciousness defined by identified state dependent behavio .rs. These behaviors'are regarded 'as skills whith the trainee must master. ' The b6sic components of. the E1?V training procedure involve the trainee in learning the following skills: Skill.-1 -:-JAbility.to physically '~Glax. JTraining in progressive relaxatioi techniques, biofeedback, yoga, etc. Skill 2 - Ability to reduce level of physical arousal.

The behavioral psychologist would call this state dependent reper'toire of behaviors a subpersonality, rabel it as '"remote viewer" and include it along with other'subpersonalities (parent, spouse, athlete, office .supervisor, etc.) in the individuals overall identity.. From this Oerspective,i the trained,ERVer is able to RV by simply internally :W identifying ;ith,thq "remote viewer" as easily as one becomes a parent, spouse, or athletes. This feat is accomplished by willfully id 'entifying with a role (a learned set of state dependent be;haviors) in an appropriate (socially accepted) environmOnt.1 Once the trainee is able to "become a remote viewer" by engaging learned skills, he/she f'~s cballe:;,ged to perform under controlled. conditions. This is done by presenting the trainee with progressIvely cLmplex RV tasks coupled with a reinforcement strategy designed to'develop self confidence and to internalize ego state stabilizing factors. Assessment of indiTidual RV capabilities can begin during this phase of training. For just as there are P, arents, spouses, athletes, and teachers with different abilities, so too are there remote viewers possessing a wide range of abilities. -The general target or site categories for these progressively complex RV tasks are outlined below: Local Targets The ERV team (interviewer and trainee) are secluded within the RV room. An outbound "beacon" individual proceeds to a selected site unknown to the ERV team. The ERV team attempt's to describe the "beacon's" location. After the training session the "beacon" takes the ERV team to the site to assess the accuracy of the training session. 2 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 CIA-RDP96-00789ROO1800680001-8 .CC V: t. r3 K' T Approved For Release 2000/08/08~'~ -~_~Rb 6-00789ROO1800680001-8 'a I T.-, In I t j I riv !. i.- n!3 c !;imilar inzoiner witli the 4-Yc4.-vti,-n t1i;#1L (he nolected target Is not limif.f.-d to the local area and Is usually ....Aa~y &aographic coordinate, photogrol-Ai, i,r other identifying data.
