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.
SG1J
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.

SUN STREAK ANNUAL ACTIVITIES REPORT
1986
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.

(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

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 º
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 in 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.

Enclosure 3
-

Approved For Release 20UNDLASol RDP96-0078R001000010001-0
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.

DRAFT BRIEFING
30 JANUARY 1986
(VG1 )
SINCE THE EARLY 1970'S, THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HAS
BEEN INVOLVED IN EXAMINING POTENTIAL USES OF PSYCHOENERGETICS.
EXPERIMENTS USING REMOTE VIEWING AS AN INTELLIGENCE
GATHERING TOOL, CONDUCTED BY TWO LASER PHYSICISTS, HAL PUTHOFF
AND RUSSELL TARG AT STANFORD RESEARCH INSTITUTE (SRI) WERE
SUCCESSFUL.
(VG2)
REMOTE VIEWING IS AN SRI COINED TERM AND THE DEFINITION
IS SHOWN HERE.
USING SEVERAL APPARENTLY GIFTED PSYCHIC SUBJECTS, THE
MOST NOTABLE OF WHOM WERE PAT PRICE AND INGO SWANN, SRI
SCIENTISTS CONDUCTED SEVERAL CIA-SPONSORED REMOTE VIEWING TESTS.
PSYCHIC IMPRESSIONS INCLUDED MUCH DETAILED ACCURATE
INFORMATION, SOME OF WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY UNREPORTED, ABOUT A
SECRET NSA FACILITY, THE SOVIET RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FACILITY
AT SEMIPALITINSK (SEM-EE-POLY-TEENSK) , GUERRILLA TRAINING BASES
IN LIBYA, AND A COMMUNIST CHINESE EMBASSY IN AFRICA.

AS A RESULT OF THESE ORIGINAL TESTS, EMPHASIS OVER THE
LAST DECADE HAS CENTERED ON REMOTE VIEWING, RATHER THAN ON OTHER
ASPECTS OF PARAPSYCHOLOGY, SUCH AS MENTAL TELEPATHY, ESP, OR
PSYCHOKINESIS.
(VG3 )
DIA AND THE MILITARY SERVICES HAVE, AT ONE TIME OR
ANOTHER, BEEN INVOLVED IN NUMEROUS PSYCHOENERGETICS TESTS, MOST
OF THEM APPLICATIONS ORIENTED.
IN 1972, THE US ARMY SURGEON GENERAL, THROUGH THE
MEDICAL INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION AGENCY, NOW KNOWN AS THE ARMED
FORCES MEDICAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, (AFMIC) , TOGETHER WITH DIA,
PUBLISHED STUDIES OF SOVIET BLOC WORK.
IN 1976, THE MISSILE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY INFORMALLY
EXPRESSED INTEREST IN THE US REPLICATION OF CLAIMED SOVIET
EXPERIMENTS IN PSYCHOKINESIS.
SRI DEVELOPED A SMALL PROGRAM FOR THEM AND IN 1977, THE
MISSILE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY AWARDED SRI A ONE YEAR RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT.
DURING THE SAME TIME, THE ARMY MATERIAL SYSTEMS
ANALYSIS AGENCY WAS INVOLVED IN THE INVESTIGATION OF REMOTE
VIEWING CONCEPTS WITH SRI.
IN 1977, THE U. S. ARMY INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY
COMMAND ( INSCOM) ESTABLISHED A PROJECT TEAM UNDER THE ASSISTANT
DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF FOR HUMAN INTELLIGENCE AND IMPLEMENTED THE
GONDOLA WISH PROGRAM.

THE PURPOSE OF THE GONDOLA WISH PROGRAM IS SHOWN HERE.
BY 1978, THE ARMY ACSI CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS
SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO WARRANT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE
PROGRAM TO EXPLORE INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION APPLICATIONS OF
PSYCHOENERGETICS.
THE ARMY ACSI CANCELLED THE GONDOLA WISH EFFORT, PLACED
A COMPLETE SECURITY ENVELOPE OVER THE ARMY'S INTEREST IN
PSYCHOENERGETICS AND IMPLEMENTED A NEW PROGRAM DIRECTED TOWARD
INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION USING REMOTE VIEWING.
(VG5)
THIS NEW EFFORT WAS GIVEN THE UNCLASSIFIED NAME GRILL
FLAME.
BY THE SPRING OF 1978, INSCOM PROJECT PERSONNEL HAD
BEEN SELECTED AND TRAINING WAS INITIATED.
2
THE NEXT CONCERN HOWEVER WAS WHETHER OR NOT INFORMATION
OBTAINED FROM REMOTE VIEWING WOULD BE OF REASONABLE ACCURACY.
EVEN IF SO, WOULD THE INFORMATION BE ACCEPTED AND USED BY THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.
WORK TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS WAS OVERCOME BY EVENTS.
ON 4 SEPT. 1979, ACSI TASKED INSCOM TO LOCATE A MISSING
NAVY AIRCRAFT AND HENCE THE FIRST INSCOM GRILL FLAME OPERATIONAL
REMOTE VIEWING SESSION TOOK PLACE.
IN THIS INITIAL SESSION, THE REMOTE VIEWER LOCATED THE
MISSING AIRCRAFT WITHIN 15 MILES OF WHERE IT HAD CRASHED.
BASED ON THESE RESULTS, INSCOM WAS TASKED TO WORK
AGAINST ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL TARGETS.

DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD, CONGRESSMAN CHARLIE ROSE
(D-NC) , CHAIRMAN OF THE EVALUATION SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE
PERMANENT SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE EXPRESSED AN INTEREST
IN THE DOD PURSUIT OF PSYCHOENERGETICS.
BECAUSE OF THIS INTEREST, AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIVE

SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, DR. WILLIAM PERRY, UNDERSECRETARY
OF DEFENSE FOR RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING, HAVING BEEN ADVISED OF
DOD PSYCHOENERGETIC ACTIVITIES AND THE GALE COMMITTEE'S FINDINGS,
ISSUED A 5 MARCH 1980 MEMORANDUM.
THIS MEMORANDUM TERMINATED R&D FUNDING (P6) FOR
PSYCHOENERGETICS ACTIVITIES BUT POSED NO OBJECTIONS TO THE
CONTINUANCE OF INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS EFFORTS (P3) .
IN FEB. 1981, ACSI TRANSFERRED GRILL FLAME MANAGEMENT
TO INSCOM.
(VG8 )
AS A RESULT OF THE GALE COMMITTEE'S FINDINGS AND THE
PERRY MEMORANDUM, IN MARCH 1981, THE DIRECTOR DIA AND THE ARMY
ACSI SIGNED A JOINT GRILL FLAME MOU.

THE EFFORT FORMED BETWEEN DIA AND THE ARMY WAS TO
IMPLEMENT A THREE YEAR COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM DESIGNED TO DO THE
FOLLOWING.
(VG9 )
WITHIN THIS PROGRAM, THE ROLES OF DIA AND THE ARMY WERE
DISTINCT.
(VG10)
THIS MOU ALSO FORMALIZED THE COOPERATION AMONG ACTIVE
GRILL FLAME PLAYERS OTHER THAN DIA AND INSCOM.
(VG11)
THIS JOINT SERVICES EFFORT CONTINUED UNTIL DEC. 1982
WHEN THE BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
INTELLIGENCE CURTAILED ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES
BY INSCOM IN THE NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM (NFIP) .
THE COMMITTEE WAS APPARENTLY UNDER THE MISCONCEPTION THAT THE
PROJECT WAS DOUBLE FUNDED HAVING NOTED THAT THERE WERE TWO LINE
ITEM ENTRIES IN THE BUDGET; ONE FOR DIA AND ONE FOR INSCOM.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CONFEREES AGREED HOWEVER TO LET DIA
COMPLETE THE THIRD YEAR OF THEIR EFFORT BUT DIRECTED THAT FUTURE
FUNDING, IF ANY, OF PSYCHOENERGETIC ACTIVITY BE BUDGETED OUTSIDE
THE NFIP SINCE THE DIA EFFORT SEEMED TO THEM TO BE R&D ORIENTED.
(VG12)
IN KEEPING WITH CONGRESSIONAL DESIRES, INSCOM
TERMINATED FORMAL INVOLVEMENT WITH GRILL FLAME AT THE END OF FY82
BUT MAINTAINED ITS MOMENTUM OF EFFORT BY THE DIRECTION OF THE CG,
INSCOM, UNDER A SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM CALLED CENTER LANE, FUNDED
WITH S&IA MONIES.
IN JAN. 1983, DR. RICHARD DELAUER, THE UNDERSECRETARY

(VG13)
ON 19 OCT. 1983, DIA PUBLISHED THE RESULTS OF THEIR
THREE YEAR PSYCHOENERGETICS EVALUATION EFFORT.
THERE WERE SEVERAL KEY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT RESULTED
FROM THE 3-YEAR GRILL FLAME EFFORT AS SHOWN HERE.
THESE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS WERE SUPPORTED BY AN
INDEPENDENT SCIENCE REVIEW PANEL CALLED ON BY CONGRESSMAN EDWARD
P. BOLAND (D-MA) , MEMBER OF THE HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
INTELLIGENCE.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS INDEPENDENT SCIENCE REVIEW PANEL
WAS TO EVALUATE THE VALIDITY OF THE SRI EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE
EFFORT.
(VG14)
IN AUG. 1984, THE DECISION WAS MADE TO MAKE THE
OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES OF INSCOM'S REMOTE VIEWING UNIT MORE
RESPONSIVE TO STRATEGIC, NATIONAL LEVEL TASKING.
IN ORDER TO DO THIS, IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO TRANSFER
THE UNIT TO DIA.
ON 18 SEPT. 1984, A MOA BETWEEN DIA AND INSCOM FOR
PROJECT CENTER LANE'S TRANSFER WAS COMPLETED.
BY FEB. 1985, THE INITIAL STEPS WERE UNDERWAY TO
TRANSFER CENTER LANE TO DIA AS A DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SPECIAL
ACCESS PROGRAM.
DURING THIS SAME PERIOD OF TIME, CONGRESS WAS BEING
BRIEFED ON THE DIA PLAN TO FORM A COLLECTION ACTIVITY BASED ON

WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT
WAS DIA'S INTENT TO CONDUCT AN INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION PROGRAM
AND NOT AN R&D EFFORT, THE SENATE RESTORED NFIP FUNDING FOR
INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS FOR FY86 AND BEYOND.
AS A SEPARATE ISSUE, DOD IS ALSO CONDUCTING A MODERATE
R&D EFFORT THROUGH USAMRDC WHICH HAS P6 FUNDING FROM THE USDRE.

THE DOD/DIA PSYCHOENERGETIC COLLECTION EFFORT IS NOW
CALLED SUN STREAK AND THE MISSION OF SUN STREAK IS SHOWN HERE.

REMOTE VIEWING IS A HIGHLY CONTROLLED AND FORMALLY
ESTABLISHED, UNIQUE INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION CAPABILITY WHICH HAS
THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS.
IT IS PASSIVE. TO THE EXTENT OF OUR KNOWLEDGE,
COLLECTION BY REMOTE VIEWING IS TOTALLY PASSIVE, THAT IS TO SAY,
IT CANNOT BE DETECTED WHEN USED.
ONLY ONE SCIENTIFIC CLAIM OF DETECTION OF REMOTE
VIEWING IS KNOWN.
SG1
A
DATA ON THESE EXPERIMENTS IS INSUFFICIENT TO VALIDATE
THIS CLAIM.
WORK TO REPLICATE THESE EXPERIMENTS, HOWEVER, IS
ONGOING AT SRI.
REMOTE VIEWING IS INEXPENSIVE.
THE PRINCIPAL COST OF
REMOTE VIEWING COLLECTION IS THE PEOPLE INVOLVED.
THERE IS
LITTLE EXPENSIVE HARDWARE.

REMOTE VIEWING HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY USED AGAINST SEVEN
CATEGORIES OF TASKING.
TWO OF THESE CATEGORIES, PENETRATION OF INACCESSIBLE
TARGETS AND THE CUING OF OTHER INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION SYSTEMS
ARE USED PREDOMINATELY AT THIS TIME.

AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE MISSION OF SUN STREAK INVOLVES
TRAINING PROFESSIONAL INTELLIGENCE PERSONNEL TO REMOTE VIEW.
IN 1979, INSCOM INTEGRATED THE SRI CONTRACTED
ORIENTATION TRAINING TECHNOLOGY INTO THEIR IN-HOUSE PROGRAM WHERE
IT IS STILL IN USE TODAY FOR NEW PERSONNEL.
TRAINING DEVELOPED FROM THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF
STATE-OF-THE-ART PSYCHOENERGETIC TECHNOLOGY DRAWN FROM ACADEMIC
INSTITUTIONS, SCIENTIFIC LABORATORIES, AND RESEARCH
ESTABLISHMENTS AROUND THE WORLD.
AN ECLECTIC APPROACH WAS TAKEN, USING THOSE METHODS
WHICH HAD APPLICATIONS POTENTIAL FOR OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

VIEWING PROCESS SEEMED TO BE FACILITATED BY PHYSICAL RELAXATION
AND ENHANCED INTERNAL ATTENTION OR PAYING ATTENTION TO ONE'S OWN
MENTAL IMAGERY AND IMPRESSIONS.
THIS CONCEPTUALIZED IDEAL STATE
BECAME THE BASIS FOR A TYPE OF REMOTE VIEWING NOW CALLED EXTENDED
REMOTE VIEWING (ERV) .
IN MID-1982, A NEW TRAINING PROGRAM BEGAN IN COORDINATE
REMOTE VIEWING (CRV) WITH SRI.
THIS NEW PROCESS, DEVELOPED BY INGO SWANN, AN SRI
SUBCONTRACTOR, SUBDIVIDES THE DETECTION AND DECODING OF PSYCHIC
IMPRESSIONS INTO DISCRETE, ACHIEVABLE SKILL LEVELS KNOWN AS
STAGES 1 THROUGH 6.
THE PROCESS USUALLY BEGINS BY PRESENTING THE
REMOTE VIEWING SOURCE WITH GEOGRAPHIC COORDINATES, HENCE THE NAME
COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING (CRV) .
THE NEXT PART OF THE BRIEFING WILL DISCUSS WHAT
ACTUALLY OCCURS IN RESPONSE TO A TASKING REQUIREMENT FOR SUN
STREAK INFORMATION.
(VG19)
TYPICALLY, A PROJECT BEGINS WITH A REQUEST FOR
INFORMATION ON A TARGET FROM A REQUESTING AGENCY.
THE FIRST TASK IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A REMOTE VIEWING
COLLECTION PLAN.
THE COLLECTION PLAN LISTS THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF
INFORMATION AND THE INTELLIGENCE INDICATORS WHICH WILL ADDRESS
THESE EEI.
ALSO LISTED ARE THE TARGET TIME WINDOWS FOR WHICH THESE
INDICATORS WILL BE RELEVANT.

TECHNIQUE AND WHICH REMOTE VIEWER/VIEWERS WILL BE USED.
REMOTE
VIEWERS ARE SELECTED ON THE BASIS OF THEIR PAST PERFORMANCE ON
THE TYPES OF INDICATORS WHICH ARE NEEDED FOR A PARTICULAR
PROJECT.
SEVERAL SESSIONS OR INTERVIEWS MAY HAVE TO BE DONE TO
ADDRESS ALL THE INDICATORS NEEDED TO ANSWER THE EEI.
(VG20)
A REMOTE VIEWING SESSION IS A TEAM EFFORT.
THE TEAM CONSISTS OF THE INTERVIEWER OR MONITOR AND THE
REMOTE VIEWER.
THE ERV INTERVIEWER'S JOB IS TO KEEP THE REMOTE VIEWER
ON TRACK, TO DIRECT THE FOCUS OF THE REMOTE VIEWER, AND TO ELICIT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE TARGET.
THE CRV MONITOR'S JOB IS TO CONTROL AND SUPERVISE THE
STRUCTURE OF THE REMOTE VIEWING SESSION.
THE REMOTE VIEWER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPORTING
IMPRESSIONS, CONCEPTS, IDEAS, SENSATIONS, FEELINGS, AND NOTIONS
OF THE TARGET.
(VG21 )
THE GOAL OF THE SESSION IS TO COLLECTION INFORMATION OF
INTELLIGENCE VALUE.
TO DO THIS, GREAT CARE IS TAKEN TO TRY AND ENCOURAGE
THE REMOTE VIEWER TO PRODUCE ONLY PSYCHIC INFORMATION OF
INTELLIGENCE VALUE AND NOT AN ANALYTIC OPINION.
WHEN THE REMOTE VIEWING SESSION IS COMPLETED, IT IS
FULLY DOCUMENTED AND A REPORT IS FURNISHED TO THE REQUESTING

THE REMOTE VIEWER WISHES TO KNOW IF HE DID WELL IN
HIS EFFORTS.
THIS HELPS HIM IN FUTURE PROJECTS, AS WELL AS
ESTABLISHING A SENSE OF WORTH IN HIS EFFORTS TO REMOTE VIEW.

THE FINAL PART OF THE BRIEFING WILL CONSIST OF OUR
CURRENT ACTIVITIES.
TODAY, PROJECT SUN STREAK CONDUCTS OPERATIONS FROM ITS
LOCATION AT FT. MEADE, MD.
THIS SMALL, 12-MAN UNIT CONDUCTS
SEVERAL TRAINING PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO DEVELOP SOURCE ABILITIES TO
ADDRESS INTELLIGENCE TARGETS.
THE UNIT ALSO CONDUCTS A UTILITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM FOR
TRAINED REMOTE VIEWING SOURCES.
THIS ASSESSMENT PROGRAM PROVIDES
THE SOURCE WITH A VARIETY OF INTELLIGENCE PROBLEMS DRAWN FROM
INTELLIGENCE FILES.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS ASSESSMENT IS TWO-FOLD.
FIRST, IT PROVIDES A DATA BASE OF WHAT TYPES OF
INTELLIGENCE PROBLEMS CAN BE ADDRESSED USING REMOTE VIEWING AND
SECOND, IT MEASURES INDIVIDUAL SOURCE ABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO
VARIOUS TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE MISSIONS.
THE UNIT ALSO CONDUCTS INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION
OPERATIONS IN RESPONSE TO VALID COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS.

a.
(S/SK/WNINTEL)
ERV trainees completed the "beaconing"
phase of training during October. Training sites are currently
selected from global training site files. It is anticipated that
source #079 will become operational sometime during the first
quarter of 1987.
b. (S/SK/WNINTEL) CRV source #011 completed Stage 2 on 10
October and Stage 3 on 5 December.
This source also is expected
to become operational during first quarter 1987.

(S/SK/WNINTEL)
Object Remote Viewing (ORV) training was
incorporated into the training program during the third quarter
of 1986. The prime objective of ORV training is to train a
source to provide greater detail about specific objects, e. g.,
components, assemblies, etc., the description of which may be of
intelligence value. Detailed descriptions of discrete objects
are not emphasized during normal RV training or operational
sessions. As a result, trained sources experience some
difficulty perceiving object detail when required, ergo, the
rationale behind ORV training.
The precis for ORV training is

EXTENDED REMOTE VIEWING
The Extended Remote Viewing (ERV) training procedure draws on the
expertise of over two decades of research by independent
investigators and recognized academic institutions including the
University of Virginia Medical Center, the Maimonides Medical
Center, the Mind Science Foundation, the University of California
at Davis, Texas Southern University of Houston, Mundelein
College, Syracuse University and others. The ERV approach has as
its goal the subjective temporal extension of subliminally brief
psychic impressions.
The trained ERV percipient is able to
control, observe, and report perceptions which would otherwise 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 behaviors. These behaviors are regarded as skills
which the trainee must master. The basic components of the ERV
training procedure involve the trainee in learning the following
skills:
Skill 1 - Ability to physically relax.
Training in progressive relaxation techniques,
biofeedback, yoga, etc.
Skill 2 - Ability to reduce level of physical arousal.
Training in biofeedback techniques, self-control
exercises, autogenic training.
Skill 3 - Ability to attenuate sensory inputs.
Training in sensory isolation, concentration
exercises, and "centering devices"
Skill 4 - Ability to increase awareness of internal feelings
and images.
Training in dream recall, guided visual imagery
exercises, subliminal recognition drills,
Hemispheric Synchronization etc.
Skill 5 - Ability to engage "receptive mode/right
hemispheric functioning. "
Hemispheric Synchronization training, biofeedback,
mode recognition, drawing classes, etc.
Skill 6 - Ability to achieve an altered view of reality.
Reading assignments, intellectual study,
meditation and contemplation exercises, etc.

Skill 7 - Ability/desire to focus intent (conscious and
unconscious) on remote viewing (RV) task.
Training in organizational management, counseling,
personal reinforcement, motivation, etc.
Skill 8 - Ability to communicate RV perceptions.
Training in right hemispheric verbalization
techniques, sketching techniques, practice in non-
analytic reporting, etc.
Each one of these skills is trained over a period of several
weeks.
When the trainee demonstrates independent mastery of each
skill, he then learns to combine the skills. His goal is to
simultaneously exhibit all of the learned skills thereby
achieving a specified discrete state of consciousness in which
the trainee is able to RV.
The behavioral psychologist would
call this state dependent repertoire of behaviors a
subpersonality, label it as "remote viewer" and include it along
with other subpersonalities (parent, spouse, athlete, office
supervisor, etc.) in the individuals overall identity. From this
perspective, the trained ERVer is able to RV by simply internally
identifying with the "remote viewer" as easily as one becomes a
parent, spouse, or athlete. This feat is accomplished by
willfully identifying with a role (a learned set of state
dependent behaviors) in an appropriate (socially accepted)
environment.
Once the trainee is able to "become a remote viewer" by engaging
learned skills, he/she is challenged to perform under controlled
conditions.
This is done by presenting the trainee with
progressively complex RV tasks coupled with a reinforcement
strategy designed to develop self confidence and to internalize
ego state stabilizing factors.
Assessment of individual RV
capabilities can begin during this phase of training. For just
as there are parents, 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 attempts 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.

At this point the trainee is introduced

Training is
conducted the same as with Global
Targets but general descriptive data
provided by the trainee is insufficient
to satisfy training objectives.
Specific, significant qualitative data
which would be of exploitable value must
be reported.
Feedback requirements during ERV training are similar to those
outlined for CRV training as "Classes" of CRV training.
The
interviewer is able to vary the level of feedback depending on
the trainee's ability and needs.
The level of feedback is always
based on the development of a reliable, qualified remote viewer
and an effective ERV team. At times this may require that the
interviewer know about the selected training site whereas during
other training sessions the interviewer may know nothing about
the site.

COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING
The Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) training procedure was
developed by an SRI-International (SRI-I) subcontractor in the
early 1980s to satisfy R&D demands on SRI-I to enhance the
reliability (scientific replicability) of remote viewing (RV) .
The subcontractor's approach to improving the reliability of RV
was to focus on the control of those factors that in his view
tend to introduce "noise" into the RV product (imaginative,
environmental, and interviewer overlays). The basic components
of this training procedure consist of :
(1)
Repeated site-address (coordinate) presentation, with
quick-reaction response by the remote viewer; coupled with a
restrictive format for reporting perceived information (to
minimize imaginative overlays) .
(2)
The use of a specially-designed, acoustic-tiled,
relatively featureless, homogeneously-colored "viewing
chamber" (to minimize environmental overlays) .
(3)
The adoption of a strictly-prescribed, limited
interviewer patter (to minimize interviewer overlays) .
The applied CRV training procedure requires that the trainee
learn a progressive multi-stage acquisition process postulated to
correspond to increased contact with the site.
Initially the
trainee is presented with RV sites requiring minimal detection
and decoding skills ("stage one" sites) .
When the trainee
demonstrates an ability to control the "signal line" and reliably
"objectifies" accurate 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
identified as follows:
Stage One -
islands, mountains, deserts, etc.
Stage Two -
sites of quality sensory value; sites which
are uniquely describable through touch,
taste, sound, color, or odor such as
glaciers, volcanoes, industrial plants, etc.
Stage Three -
sites possessing significant dimensional
characteristics such as buildings, bridges,
airfields, etc.

Stage Four -
sites requiring qualitative mental percepts
such as technical area, military feeling,
research, etc.
Stage Five -
sites requiring the interrogation of
qualitative mental percepts to produce
refined information such as aircraft tracking
radar, biomedical research facility, tank
production plant, etc.
Stage Six -
sites requiring direct, three-dimensional
assessment of site elements to one another
such as airplanes 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 session, control of
interviewer patter, trainee skill development, and motivation.
These three classes (A, B, and C) are discussed below but differ
somewhat from the definition applied and published by SRI-I for
Class A, B, and C CRV training.
1
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 assist the
trainee in this learning, immediate feedback is provided
during the session.
The interviewer (monitor) is provided
with a feedback package 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 he
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 prevent inadvertent cuing (interviewer
overlay), is in the form of very specific statements made by
the interviewer.
These statements and their definitions are
as follows:
Correct (C) - This indicates that the information is
correct in context with the site location, but is not
sufficient to end the session.

Probably Correct (PC)
This statement means that the
interviewer, having limited information about the site,
though he cannot be absolutely sure, believes that the
information provided is correct.
Near (N) - This indicates that the information provided
is not an element of the specific site, but is correct
for the immediate surrounding area.
Can't Feedback (CFB) - This statement indicates that,
due to limited information about the site, the
interviewer cannot make a judgement as to the
correctness of the data.
It means neither correct nor
incorrect.
Site (S) - This indicates 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 demonstrate his ability
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 desires
the trainee to describe but does not provide the trainee
with any direct feedback during the course of the session.
This process develops the trainee's ability to internalize
his awareness of relevant (correct) versus extraneous
(incorrect) cognitive structures (mental perceptions).
During Class B sessions the interviewer (monitor) 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
The interviewer may not introduce
reported by the trainee.
new elements into the session (cue the trainee) in an
attempt to encourage the trainee to properly describe the
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 a site
may be of interest (i. e., a specific room in a building) , he
can guide the trainee's attention to that area by directing
the trainee to elaborate on specific elements of data which
the interviewer knows to pertain to the area of interest.
With practice in Class B, the trainee soon learns to control
his own perceptual faculties and develops confidence in his
ability.

CLASS A: Class A training is similar to what the R&D
community refers to as a "double blind" experiment.
The
purposes for Class A training and for R&D double blind
experiments differ however.
The R&D community uses double
blind experimental protocols to test a variable under
controlled conditions. Class A training is not a test for
the trainee, but a process whereby the trainee learns to
function with the interviewer in a team effort to acquire
and describe information concerning a site on interest.
In
Class A the interviewer is provided very little or no
information concerning the site and the trainee is provided
no feedback during the session. The trainee is motivated to
work with the interviewer in producing valid information
about the site of interest. This motivational difference is
critical in forcing the trainee to use his RV ability to
acquire and describe site dependent information as opposed
to interviewer dependent (telepathic?) information.
Working
as a team in a Class A session, the interviewer (monitor)
and trainee combine their aptitudes (the interviewer with
his directive, analytic skill and the trainee with his
exploratory, perceptual ability) to report information of
interest about the designated site.
As a result of the technology transfer from the SRI-I
subcontractor to this office the CRV training procedure is fully
documented in booklet form. Copies of this booklet are
maintained by this office and are available to those with a
verified need-to-know. Of special note is the fact that this
booklet is governed by corporate laws of propriety and as such

ABSTRACT REFERENTS DISCRIMINATION OF BINARY ALTERNATIVES
Remote Viewers have demonstrated little ability to discriminate
alphanumeric information.
Remote perception and description of
geographic locations, buildings, and objects appears to be
different than the remote perception of man generated symbolic
data (letters and numbers).
Abstract Referents Discrimination of
Binary Alternatives (ARDBA) training has two objectives.
The
first is to identify trainees who possess an innate ability to
psychically discriminate between different alphanumerics and
second to determine the feasibility of training this ability.
The training/testing program has been designed so that training
progresses through five training phases from simplistic exercises
to the eventual use of abstract referents (i. e. geographic
coordinates) to direct the trainees'attention to the
discrimination between binary alternatives at remote locations.
Each one of these phases requires a different behavior on the
part of the trainee and is conducted for different purposes with
an overall goal in mind.
Following is an overview of these ARDBA
Training Phases:
PHASE 1
During Phase 1 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.
The purpose of this phase of training/testing 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
If a trainee is able to complete Phase 1 (successfully
discriminate between binary alternatives to a statistically
significant level), Phase 2 is initiated. 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.

The overall purpose here is to develop an internalized
feeling of confidence within the trainee of psychic
impressions through the use of feedback withdrawal tactics.
A data base of trainee performance is also expanded during
this period.
PHASE 3
During this phase of training the emphasis sheers away
somewhat from discrimination of binary alternatives and
begins to focus on the trainees ability to respond to
abstract referents.
In ARDBA Phase 3 the trainer selects
a target from within the closed target pool and then directs
the trainee to state what the selected target is (choose
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 the trainee for the next phase.
PHASE 4
This phase establishes abstract referent cuing as the prime
directive. The trainee is presented with a grid matrix
consisting of six positions. Each position will has a
"coordinate." The task for the trainee is to discriminate
between binary alternatives at a given coordinate (abstract
referent cue) provided by the trainer. The trainer records
the results but does not provide feedback to the trainee.
This phase serves to extinguish the trainee's dependence on
the previous target pool as well as external feedback.
PHASE 5
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 "coordinates" as cuing and
the trainee attempts to discriminate between binary
alternatives for each of six different abstract referents.
Feedback is given only after the completion of six
"coordinates. "
This phase completes the training concept and demands the
trainee accurately respond to a series of requirements prior
to receiving feedback.

Once these stages have Been CallATOP 0-00788R0019000109010-sment
project is conducted.
This involves the use of a six digit
binary code which is sealed in a envelope. The trained source
then attempts to identify this code given appropriate abstract
referents. To be effective, a source must be able to accurately
discriminate between binary alternatives in a sequential chain
given a complex abstract referent cuing system.
The ultimate
goal of this program might be to detect and describe
cryptographic code at remote locations.
This newly trained
source ability will have to be integrated into conventional
remote viewing techniques. A source will have to locate
cryptographic systems through remote viewing and then apply
his/her ability to discriminate binary alternatives in specific
codes at the location.

OBJECT REMOTE VIEWING
The purpose of Object Remote Viewing (ORV) is to give the remote
viewer perceptual experience in an area unaddressed by other
training. Basic training in remote viewing (RV) usually uses
geographic locations as targets for the remote viewer.
For the
purposes of basic RV training such targets serve well to develop
elementary viewer skills and establish some level of viewer self
confidence as well as a degree of reliability. Basic RV training
does not, however, place any emphasis on the accurate acquisition
and description of fundamental structural elements or individual
objects.
Since such information is important in the practical
exploitation of RV, training exercises in ORV are conducted.
exercises differ only in the context that the designated target
to be described by the remote viewer is a concealed object as
opposed to a geographic site. The procedures of basic RV
training programs remain the same.

ADVANCED INDIVIDUAL TRAINING
The purpose of Advanced Individual Training (AIT) is to involve
fully-trained and experienced remote viewers in progressive
perceptual techniques and "novel" training sessions.
These
training sessions are selected to provide site stimuli not
normally encountered during day-to-day remote viewing sessions.
AIT sites may include such off planet locations as the Mars
Viking Lander, sites of religious significance like the Vatican,
locations of catastrophic events like Hiroshima, etc. AIT sites
serve a dual purpose; they maintain the trained remote viewer's
interest by challenging his/her ability and in so doing enhance
the ability itself by expanding the perceptual experience level
of the remote viewer. Also available within the AIT program are
seminars, conferences, and meetings which would serve to enhance
remote viewing ability. Of special interest in the AIT of
selected experienced remote viewers is hemispheric
synchronization training available from The Monroe Institute.
This training has been successfully employed in the past and is
fully documented under separate cover.
