PROJECT 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.
