I AM LTC JACHIM, PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE INSCOM PORTION OF
DOD PROJECT GRILL FLAME.
JUST OVER 2 YEARS AGO YOU WERE INTRODUCED INTO THE ARMY
`GRILL FLAME PROGRAM. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO TODAY IS PROVIDE
YOU WITH A SHORT REVIEW OF OUR CHARTER, THEN SOME STATISTICAL
SUMMARIES AND FINALLY A DISCUSSION OF 3 PROJECTS,
(SLIDE 2 ON)
(SLIDE 2 OFF)
(SLIDE 2A ON)
FIRST, HOW DID INSCOM BECOME INVOLVED? IN THE FALL OF 1978,
ACSI TASKED INSCOM TO DETERMINE IF PARAPSYCHOLOGY COULD BE
USED TO COLLECT INTELLIGENCE, FOR OUR PURPOSES PARAPSYCHOLOGY
IS DEFINED IN TWO MAJOR CATEGORIES:
FIRST, PHYSICAL ACITONS PERFORMED BY MENTAL POWERS THAT
CANNOT BE EXPLAINED BY KNOWN PHYSICAL MEANS. THIS IS KNOWN AS
TELEKINESIS OR PSYCHOKINESIS, AND_SECOND,PERCEPTIONS WHICH CANNOT
BE EXPLAINED THROUGH KNOWN SENSORY MEANS, THIS IS KNOWN AS ESP,
TELEPATHY AND REMOTE VIEWING,
(SLIDE 2A OFF)
SLIDE 2B ON)
SPECIFICALLY, INSCOM'S TASKING WAS TO DETERMINE IF REMOTE
VIEWING COULD BE USED AS A COLLECTION METHOD .. . REMOTE E.
VIEWING IS DEFINED, AS THE ABILITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL, TO
ACCESS INFORMAITON PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN, WITHOUT REGARD TO
TIME, LOCATION, OR ANY ATTEMPT TO DENY THE TARGET TO A
COLLECTOR.

TO MEET ACSI'S TASKING A PROJECT TEAM WAS ESTABLISHED AND
THE FOLLOWING CRITEREA DEVELOPED TO DETERMINE IF REMOTE VIEWING
WOULD BE A VIABLE COLLECTION METHOD.
(SLIDE 3 ON)
FIRST, COULD REMOTE VIEWING BE LEARNED? NEXT, COULD
REMOTE VIEWING BE APPLIED AS A COLLECTION METHOD? AI
FINALLY, COULD REMOTE VIEWING RESPOND TO COLLECTION
REQUIREMENTS IN A TIMELY MANNER?
(SLIDE 3 OFF)
AFTER A SERIES OF SCREENINGS AND INTERVIEWS.
NINE PEOPLE WERE SELECTED. THEY WERE A MIXTURE OF
MILITARY AND CIVILIAN, OFFICERS AND ENLISTED, MEN
AND WOMEN.
(SLIDE 5 ON)
-
AFTER THE PERSONNEL WERE LOCATED AND TRAINING HAD BEGUN
THE NEXT QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED APPLIED TO THE SECOND
AND THIRD CRITERIA CONCERNING OPERATIONS. THAT IS,
COULD REMOTE VIEWING BE APPLIED AS A COLLECTION
METHOD? IF SO, WOULD THE INFORMATION BE OF REASONABLE
ACCURACY AND ACCEPTED AND USED BY THE INTELLIGENCE
ANALYST WHO RECEIVE THE PRODUCT. FINALLY, COULD
REMOTE VIEWING RESPOND TO COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS IN
A TIMELY MANNER?
(SLIDE 5 OFF)
(SLIDE 5A ON)
WORK TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS WAS OVERCOME BY EVENTS.
IN SEPTEMBER 1979, ACSI TASKED INSCOM TO LOCATE A
MISSING NAVY AIRCRAFT *
THE ONLY INFORMATION
PROVIDED WAS A PICTURE OF THE TYPE AIRCRAFT MISSING
AND THE NAMES OF THE CREW. WHERE THE AIRCRAFT WAS
OPERATING WAS NOT DISCLOSED. ON 4 SEPTEMBER 1979,

THE FIRST OPERATIONAL REMOTE VIEWING SESSION TOOK PLACE IN THIS
INITIAL SESSION, THE REMOTE VEIWER PLACED THE AIRCRAFT TO WITHIN
15 MILES OF WHERE IT WAS ACTUALLY LOCATED, BASED ON THESE RESULTS, _
INSCOM WAS TASKED TO WORK AGAINST ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL TARGETS,
IN DECEMBER 1979, THE PROJECT WAS COMMITTED TO OPERATIONS.
(SLIDE 5A OFF)
THE FOLLOWING GRAPHICS ARE SUMMARIES OF OUR OPERATION FROM
SEPTEMBER 1979 THROUGH MID-SEP 82.
(SLIDE 10 ON)
NOTE THE COMPARISON OF SESSION TO PROJECTS, THE SPECIFIC NUMBER
OF COLLECITON SESIONS, NECESSARY TO MEET A PROJECT'S REQUIREMENTS,
IS BASED UPON THE RQUESTOR"S TASKING. AS AN EXAMPLE, THE SUPPORT
PROVIDED DURING THE IRANIAN HOSTAGE CRISIS COVERED AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF TIME AND RESULTED IN AN EXCESS OF 200 SESSIONS, OF THE
65 PROJECTS COMPLETED AND FULLY EVALUATED 50 PERCENT HAVE PROVIDED
INFORMATION OF VALUE TO THE REQUESTER,
(SLIDE 10 OFF)
(SLIDE 11 ON)
THE RESULTS OF EVALUATED PROJECTS ARE DEPICTED ON THIS SLIDE.
( PAUSE - LIST READ)
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT WHILE ACSI AS THE OFFICAL REQUESTER ON
EIGHT PROJECTS, TWO PROJECTS WERE CONDUCTED IN SUPPORT OF ARMY
MACOMS, TWO WERE COMBINATION ACSI/INSCOM AND ANOTHER WAS THE
MISSING NAVY AGE.
(SLIDE 11 OFF)
THE FINAL PORTION OF MY BRIEFING COVERS 2 COMPLETED AND 1
ACTIVE PROJECT, HOWEVER BEFORE I COVER THE PROJECTS, I
WISH TO EMPHASIZE THE FOLLOWING POINTS:
REMOTE VIEWING IS NOT A MAGIC LAMP AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE
FOR CURRENT INTELLIGENCE WORK. REMOTE VIEWING IS A HIGHLY
CONTROLLED AND FORMALLY ESTABLISHED, UNIQUE INTELLIGENCE
COLLECITON CAPABILITY WHICH HAS THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS;

IT IS PASSIVE
TO THE EXTENT F OUR KNOWLEDGE, COLLECTION BY REMOTE VIEWING
IS TOTALLY PASSIVE, ONLY ONE CLAIM OF DETECTION OF REMOTE VIEWING
IS KNOWN. CHINESE SCIENTISTS CLAIM TO HAVE DETECTED OF
REMOTE VIEWING DURING THEIR EXPERIMENTS WITH CHILDREN. DATA
ON THESE EXPERIMENTS
IS INSUFFICIENT TO VALIDATE THIS
CLAIM. WORK TO REPLICATE THESE EXPERIMENTS ARE CONTINUING AT SRI.
IT IS INEXPENSIVE
THE PRINCIPAL COST OF REMOTE VIEWING COLLECTION IS THE PEOPLE
INVOLVED. THERE IS NO EXPENSIVE HARDWARE, AND LASTLY,
THERE IS NO KNOWN DEFENSE
TIME, TARGET SIZE, OR DEGREE OF DIFFUCULTY ALL HAVE NO APPARENT
EFFECT ON COLLECTION BY REMOTE VIEWING, EVEN CONCEPTULAIZED
PLANS HAVE BEEN COLLECTED AGAINST PRIOR TO THEIR ACTUAL
IMPLEMENTATION.

IN SUMMARY:
REMOTE VIEWING HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT IT IS A SUCCESSFUL
COLLECTION METHOD (NOT AN EXPERIMENT). THE PROFESSIONAL
-INTELLIGENCE ANALYSTS WHO ASSIGN US PROJECTS, EVALUATE US
ONLY BY THE INTELLIGENCE WE PRODUCE, REMOTE VIEWING SHOULD
NEVER STAND ALONE, BUT SHOULD BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH
INFORMATION FROM OTHER INTELLIGENCE SOURCES.

REMOTE VIEWING IS PASSIVE, INEXPENSIVE, THERE IS NO DEFENSE
AND THERE IS NO RISK OF COLLECITON COMPROMISE.
THIS CONCLUDES THE BRIEFING. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
