PROJECT CENTER LANE
NARRATIVE EXPLANATION/JUSTIFICATION:
DESCRIPTION:
(S/CL-3) Establish a new intelligence program utilizing psychoenergetics (parapsychology) to enhanc
existing intelligence collection and OPSEC programs, and an organizational infrastructure to manage administrative]
trading and operational functions for the program. Through a thoroughly proven aspect of psychoenergetics known as remot
viewing, the proposed program will collect and report information of intelligence value without regard to time, targes
location, or any efforts to deny the information to the collector, with no known risk of detection. Plans are being
formulated for intelligence exploitation of other psychoenergetic technologies, such as psychokinetics, remote
communications, etc., as the state-of-the-art in each progresses sufficiently. Money budgeted for this program will be
uses for the extensive training involved, required facilities, and systems for obtaining, recording, processing an@
disseminating valuable information obtained.
JUSTIFICATION: (S/CL-3) INSCOM's efforts in the intelligence application of psychoenergetics have been on an ad hoc basis
since 1977. During that six year period, CENTER LANE, and its predecessor program GRILL FLAME, established the feasibility
and soundness of psychoenergetics, primarily through the use of the remote viewing phenomenon as an intelligence toola
Frog 1978 through 1983 intelligence collection projects using remote viewing completed for the U.S. Army and such agencies
as DIA, JCS, CIA, NSA, FBI, and the Secret Service, produced significant results. At least two intelligence community
"figsts" have resulted from project operations. During this same time, outside research has refined the methodology eveg
further, promising greater accuracy and control than ever before. Administrative and personnel turmoil, sporadic
availability of resources, and lack of a formal TOE/TDA organization have all kept the project from realizing its trug
potential. Full utilization of this unique and cost-effective collection capability can be made not only by establishing
this program officially, but expanding its resources and organizational base.
BENEFITS:
(S/CL-3)
Intelligence application of psychoenergetics, will not only facilitate cuing of conventional
intelligence systems, but will also allow penetration of otherwise inaccessible targets to collect intelligence.
Some
potential targets are:
Tactical and strategic, conventional and nuclear weapons systems within their secure locations.
Technical developments concerning armor, anti-armor, and chemical and biological research within their secure locations.

Wigen approved, this initiative will provide necessary personnel and organizational stability, ameliorating past problems of
major fluctuations in resources and personnel availability which has thus far hindered full production of this type gof
intelligence information.
SOORTFALLS: (S/CL-3) Several problems will be encountered should this initiative not be approved. Primary in importance
will be an inability to meet all the needs of the various agencies the project currently supports. More requests por
Support are already received than can be addressed. Because of resource and personnel limitations, project managers must
exercise extremely strict criteria in determining what taskings may be accepted. User agencies state that they have many

state of the art. If proper resource allocation is not approved, this crucial momentum would be lost, and the national
intelligence community would lose a valuable, unique, and cost-effective collection capability which now allows penetration
of targets inaccessible to any conventional system. The long training lead-time required to develop source personnel would
make later resumption of a viable program extremely difficult and time consuming.
