PSYCHOENERGETICS, PSI, "ESP" (DEFINITION)
Psychoenergetic phenomena are a class of direct interactions between
human consciousness and the physical environment that, although as yet
unexplained as to mechanism, can be observed and recorded.
Psychoenergetic phenomena include:
. The acquisition of information not presented to any
obvious sense.
These are perceptual processes that
act as information input to an individual. Examples include:
- The (mental) viewing of the contents of a safe,
or a distant military site (clairvoyance) .
- "Pickup" of the thoughts of another (telepathy)
- Direct foreknowledge of a future event, such as
the firing of a missile (precognition) .
. The production of physical effects not mediated by any
obvious mechanism. These are perturbation processes that
act as action output from an individual. Examples include:
- The physical movement of an object by a (mental)
effort of the will alone (psychokinesis).
- Perturbation of an electronic or mechanical component,
such as a microchip or a gyro, by mental effort.
- Perturbation of a basic physical process, such as the
decay rate of radioactive material, by mental effort.
A more complete breakdown of psychoenergetic processes is given in
the chart on the following page. Application of psychoenergetic processes
to military/intelligence objectives include use of the perceptual processes
in data collection (verified), and the use of the perturbation (psychokinetic)
processes to influence weapons systems (potential).

INTELLIGENCE
A.
USSR
Beginning in the mid-1970s, Soviet psychoenergetics research became sub-
ject to increasingly more stringent controls by both the government and the
military. In 1975, a high-level commission was officially established in
the USSR to review psychoenergetics research. The commission was under the
direction of the vice president of the USSR Academy of Sciences and included
several institute directors and deputy directors as well as Party officials.
After a 3-year review period, this commission's recommendations led
to an integrated approach to the study of psychoenergetics in the USSR. A
centralized coordinating and review group was identified which had several
Ministry of Defense (MOD) representatives, a member of SKB VYMPEL (the
antiballistic missile design bureau), and at least one laboratory leader
who is believed to be KGB affiliated. There is also backing from high-level
officials in the Communist Party, probably at the Council of Ministers level.
The review group is closely associated with a new psychoenergetics
laboratory (Bioelectronics Laboratory) , which reviews and integrates
psychoenergetics research performed at other laboratories and also performs
its own research. Such research ranges from long distance experiments in
information transmission to psychokinetic influence on physical devices and
biological systems. In addition, the laboratory also serves a screening
function for identifying people from the general population, throughout
the USSR, who can perform well on psi tasks.
In general, it is known through intelligence data that applications
oriented research is being pursued. Application goals are no doubt of high
interest to MOD and Party officials who support and monitor this work.
Specifically, there is evidence of a strong interest in applying ESP/remote
viewing phenomena in accessing secure data, in information transmission
(i.e., long distance communication), and in locating lost or hidden material
or people.
Although it is difficult to assess the advances in Soviet psycho-
energetics research, the high-level sanction by both the government and the
military would indicate that progress in this area is sufficient to merit
its continuation. The scope and magnitude of this support would also tend
to indicate that intelligence and/or warfare applications of ESP/remote
viewing have most likely been attempted and will be continued in the future.

B.
People's Republic of China
Since 1979, a rapid increase of interest and mobilization of resources
has occurred in psychoenergetics research in the PRC.
In this short period
large segments of the population have been screened and a number of indi-
viduals identified as possessing psychoenergetics skills. Some of the major
universities and research institutes are currently involved in psychoenergetics
research.
The skills catalogued are essentially identical to those observed by
psychoenergetics researchers in the West and in the Soviet Union: various
forms of acquisition of information that are inaccessible by normal sensory
means (e.g., identifying written Chinese characters sealed in a box), and
the generation of small-scale physical effects on shielded targets (e.g.,
the fogging of film). There are, however, certain differences in research
directions that reflect their scientist's efforts to correlate research
findings with certain unique Chinese concepts, such as the search for pos-
sible relationships between psychoenergetic skills and martial art practices.
Since 1979, investigations have moved from the public media to the
universities (e.g., Beijing and Yunnan Universities), to research institutes
of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (e.g., Institute of High-Energy Physics),
and to the national laboratories involved in space/military research (e.g.,
institute of Space Medico-Engineering, and an unnamed Air Force Institute).
The signs of increasing research activity and steps toward legitimization
and official sanction indicate steady progress at a relatively rapid rate.
At this time, there is no direct evidence of PRC interest in psycho-
energetics phenomena for military or intelligence purposes. However, the
pursuit of this research at national laboratories and military-related
institutes, and the leadership role for this research by a leading rocket
expert (H. S. Tsien), would indicate that PRC interest in military appli-
cation potential of psychoenergetics phenomena is a good possibility.

Other Countries
A "Free World" study, which would focus primarily on psychoenergetic
research in the United States, Britain, and possibly Japan, among other
countries, has been recommended as a possible intelligence project for
FY '83. Such a study is warranted by the increased activity in psychoen-
ergetics research taking place worldwide as evidenced by the expanded effort
at SRI International (Menlo Park, CA) and by new research programs at
Princeton University, McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company (Huntington
Beach, CA), Bell Laboratories (Columbus, Ohio) and elsewhere.

Plans
The principal aim of the FY '83 DoD/SRI intelligence program is to
bring to completion the archival effort for all intelligence data and
materials that have been collected to date. This objective will be
accomplished primarily through the completion of a simple intelligence
database management system. In order to achieve this end, SRI intends to
implement new, updated software, to write the necessary applications
programs for easy data retrieval, and to provide a readily understandable
manual for the end-user. This system will enable us to inventory, in the
most effective manner possible, the intelligence gains acquired during the
three-year DoD/SRI program.

Remote viewing (RV) is the ability of certain individuals to access
and describe, my means of mental processes, information blocked from
ordinary perception by distance or shielding. Targets for remote viewing
have ranged from small objects in nearby light-tight cannisters to remote
technical facilities at intercontinental distances, from numbers generated
at random in a computer, to nuclear tests in a foreign country. Successful
viewings for the DoD/intelligence communities include:
. A secret NSA facility, including codeword retrieval.
. Soviet R&D facility at Semipalatinsk (PNUTS).
· Static tests of Minuteman and Poseidon solid-propellant
missile firings in the Western United States.

RV Phenomenon -- Scientific Support
High-quality anecdotal reports of such phenomena can be traced back
through millenia of history by scholarly research.' Such reports are not
confined to history, however, but have continued to persist into the modern
age, even when brought under scientific scrutiny with the founding of the
British Society for Psychical Research in 1882, a date that in a certain
sense marks the beginning of formal investigation of psychoenergetic
phenomena by the scientific/academic communities.2
Beginning with a seminal paper on remote viewing published by SRI
researchers in 1976 in the Proc. IEEE," well over a dozen major similar
studies have been carried out and reported in the literature, the bulk
of which have been successes. (For a summary, see recent review article
by R. Jahn, Dean of the School of Engineering/Applied Science, Princeton
University." ). As a result of this work, carried out over a number of
laboratories, a scientific data base has been established from which certain
conclusions can be drawn:
(1)
Descriptive material about remote locations can be
obtained which exceeds chance correlation.3-4
(2)
The quality of description appears to be relatively
insensitive to distance.'
3-4
(3)
Detailed analysis of the patterns of correct/incorrect
response elements indicates that the laws governing
remote viewing are not askew to, but correlate with
those laws governing
(a)
Cerebral (brain) functioning, specialization,
and cognitive processes in general.5
(b)
Subliminal perception in particular."
(4)
Although the mechanism of transmission is as yet
undetermined, the observed results are not necessarily
incompatible with electromagnetic' or quantum models,
8
and thus a rapprochement with physical theory cannot be
ruled out.

RV Process
To carry out a remote viewing (RV) session, a "remote viewer" and
an "interviewer" begin by seating themselves at the opposite ends of a
table in a special remote viewing room equipped with paper and pens, a
tape recorder, and an overhead TV camera to permit recording for documen-
tation, or monitoring by individuals outside the room. The room is
homogeneously-colored, acoustic-tiled, and featureless, with light con-
trolled by a dimmer, so that environmental distractions can be minimized.
The session is begun by the interviewer providing to the remote viewer
whatever targeting information is appropriate to the task at hand, such
as the coordinates of a military site, or a picture of an individual.
Under normal testing or operational conditions, the interviewer is typically
kept blind as to the site, etc., so as to prevent inadvertent cueing or
leading. The session then proceeds with the interviewer repeating the
targeting information at intervals, posing questions, etc., and the remote
viewer providing quick-reaction responses, both verbally and by means of
notes and sketches, until a coherent response to the overall task requirement
emerges. (The use of the quick-reaction-response procedure has been found
useful in minimizing imaginative embellishment of basic raw-data signals.)
There is no use of drugs or technology to produce an "altered state
of consciousness," session time at a single setting rarely exceeds an hour,
and the ambience of the session is kept as natural and stress-free as
possible.

Personnel
Historically, the search for medical/psychological/personality
measures that might provide a quantitative "psychic profile" has been
unsuccessful.
Several years of observation by workers in the field has, however,
led to an informal guide based on subjective evaluation of the personality
traits of successful viewers. This rule-of-thumb guide is based on the
observation that successful remote viewers tend to be confident, outgoing,
adventurous, broadly successful individuals with some artistic bent, and
possessing "middle-of-the-road" views about psychoenergetic functioning.
Neither "total skeptics" nor "true believers" tend to do well on psycho-
energetic tasks. Rather, good remote viewers seem to come from the ranks
of generally successful photographers, engineers, mathematicians, artists
and businessmen who have a relaxed interest in the phenomena and are
challenged by it.
Recently, SRI researchers cooperated with a private group (Mobius
Group, Los Angeles, CA) to conduct a mass RV screening test, with psycho-
logical profiling, through a major magazine publication.

Product of RV Technology
The steps in producing a product from remote viewing (RV) sessions
is as follows:
(1)
The individual designated a "remote viewer," in
conjunction with an interviewer, generates raw data
in the form of a tape-recorded transcript of verbal
comments, along with notes, sketches and drawings.
On occasion a videorecording of the session may also
be made.
(2)
The raw data is summarized in a one- or two-page
cover sheet (s), and affixed to the typed transcript
and associated notes, sketches and drawings, and the
data package turned over to the consumer for analysis.
(3)
Following preliminary analysis, the above procedure
may be iterated a number of times to produce
additional data in response to analyst questions.
(4)
Finally, the analyst fills out an evaluation sheet
covering the usefulness of the RV product (see
following pages), and the data is integrated into
the overall intelligence mix in whatever way is
appropriate.

INSTRUCTIONS TO ANALYSTS (U)
(U) The information provided as enclosure to this report was obtained in
response to a collection requirement provided by
This information was acquired from a new and potentially valuable source of
intelligence. Work is currently being pursued to determine the accuracy,
reliability, and improvement potential of this source. Your remarks and
attention to the evaluation sheet will be the basis for our assessment of this
new collection technique. Therefore, the effort you expend will greatly assist
us and will ultimately result in you receiving more data of increasing accuracy
and reliability.
(U)
While formulating your judgements concerning the data, the following
comments concerning this new source of intelligence may be helpful.
(U) Foremost, the data is likely to consist of a mixture of correct and
incorrect elements. Specifically:
(1)
(S) The descriptive elements are generally of higher
reliability than judgements or labels as to what is
being described (recreational swimming pool may be
mistaken for water purification pools, an aircraft
hull may be mistaken for a submarine hull, etc.).
Therefore, seemingly appropriate descriptive elements
should not be rejected because of mislabeling.
(2)
(S) The data often contain gaps (in a 3-building complex,
for example, perhaps only two of the buildings may be
described, and an airfield may be added that isn't there).
Such gaps or additions should not be taken to mean that the
rest of the data is necessarily inaccurate.
(S) Therefore, a recommended approach is to first examine the entire
information packet to obtain an overall "flavor" of the response, reserving
final judgement even in the face of certain errors, and then go back through
for detailed analysis.
(U) If you have questions regarding the data you have received or on its
evaluation please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you.

RV Trends
SRI International was tasked with a 3-yr evaluation program (FY '81-
'83) to assess the potential of remote viewing (RV) for intelligence
applications, both to enhance the potential for U.S. applications, and to
provide data that would be useful in assessing the threat potential of
corresponding Soviet/East Bloc applications. Special emphasis was placed
on the possibility that enhancement techniques could be developed that
would significantly increase levels of accuracy and reliability. There-
fore, a major part of the 3-yr evaluation program focused on
(1) The development of techniques to enhance the
accuracy and reliability of RV, and the transfer
of these techniques to DoD personnel.
(2) The application of RV to operational tasks.
(3)
The evaluation of such techniques and applications.
(4)
The integration of RV intelligence into the overall
intelligence mix.
To fulfill these requirements, SRI, in conjunction with its sponsors,
chose to develop and codify a promising RV training procedure that had
emerged from earlier work, developed by RV consultant/practitioner Mr. I.
Swann. The procedure focuses on improving the reliability of RV by con-
trolling those factors that tend to introduce noise into the RV product.
The basic components of this procedure consist of
(1)
Repeated target-address (e.g., coordinate)
presentations with quick-reaction response by
the remote viewer (to minimize imaginative
overlays) .
(2)
The use of a specially-designed, acoustic-tiled,
featureless, homogeneously-colored viewing chamber
(to minimize environmental overlays).
(3) The adoption of a strictly-prescribed, limited
interviewer patter (to minimize interviewer overlay).

With the above procedures in place, it is found that data in an RV
session tend to develop in a natural pattern from the general to the
particular, from the overall ambience or gestalt of the site to the
specific analytical and quantitative aspects. This development, shown
in the table below, appears to progress through six stages of increased
contact with the target site.

RV Data
The current state-of-the-art in remote viewing is that the most-
accomplished remote viewer in the SRI program (Swann, the originator of the
technique) has developed to the point of differentiation and identification
of technological facilities, considered as a Stage IV process in the
nomenclature of the previous section. Examples of the level of detail
and discrimination attained in this research/training phase are shown
in the following four figures. (An operational example is shown in the
following section.) Results of this quality are seen on a relatively
routine basis and, therefore, at a rate well exceeding chance expectation.
As of this date, additional viewers exposed to the training procedure,
both within the contractor organization (SRI and its consultants) and within
the DoD (Army INSCOM remote viewers) have progressed through various
stages of the procedure up through Stage III.

Value of Data
In the FY '81-FY '83 RV evaluation program, SRI in conjunction with
its DoD sponsors (DIA, Army INSCOM) has investigated U.S. capabilities in
applied intelligence applications, both to determine the potential for
application in U.S. efforts, and to provide data useful in assessing the
threat potential of corresponding Soviet/East Bloc applications. To carry
out this task, SRI pursued application tasks that were of interest to the
intelligence community, and have responded to quick-reaction requirements
set by DoD representatives monitoring the progress of the work. A sample
task
is shown on the following
pages, including the final DIA evaluation sheet.
-
SG1A
The investigations have shown that remote viewing, both by SRI and
Army INSCOM personnel, has in many cases provided meaningful descriptions
of, e.g., East-bloc targets of interest to the intelligence community.
Evaluation by appropriate intelligence community specialists indicates
that a remote viewer is able by this process to generate useful data
corroborated by other intelligence data. As is generally true with other
human sources, the information is fragmentary and imperfect, and therefore
should not be relied on alone but is best utilized in conjunction with
other resources. Although efforts to establish the precise degree of
accuracy and reliability are not yet complete, the data generated by the
RV process appears to exceed any reasonable bounds of chance correlation
or acquisition by ordinary means and therefore constitutes an exploitable
information source.

seem to see what looks like a guard cubicle because it has all glass around,
it is inside the building. It has, by comparison to the other cold lavendar

big panel, it seems to be a voltage control panel for some sort of electronics
system. Down the ramp are very long corridors.
It looks like storage. There

INSTRUCTIONS TO ANALYSTS (U)
.
DIA - PT- IA
(U) The information provided as enclosure to this report was obtained in
response to a collection requirement provided by
This information was acquired from a new and potentially valuable source of
intelligence. Work is currently being pursued to determine the accuracy,
reliability, and improvement potential of this source. Your remarks and
attention to the evaluation sheet will be the basis for our assessment of this
new collection technique. Therefore, the effort you expend will greatly assist
us and will ultimately result in you receiving more data of increasing accuracy
and reliability.
(U)
While formulating your judgements concerning the data, the following
comments concerning this new source of intelligence may be helpful.
(U)
Foremost, the data is likely to consist of a mixture of correct and
incorrect elements. Specifically:
(1)
(S) The descriptive elements are generally of higher
reliability than judgements or labels as to what is
being described (recreational swimming pool may be
mistaken for water purification pools, an aircraft
hull may be mistaken for a submarine hull, etc.).
Therefore, seemingly appropriate descriptive elements
should not be rejected because of mislabeling.
(2)
(S) The data often contain gaps (in a 3-building complex,
for example, perhaps only two of the buildings may be
described, and an airfield may be added that isn't there).
Such gaps or additions should not be taken to mean that the
rest of the data is necessarily inaccurate.
(S) Therefore, a recommended approach is to first examine the entire
information packet to obtain an overall "flavor" of the response, reserving
final judgement even in the face of certain errors, and then go back through
for detailed analysis.
(U) If you have questions regarding the data you have received or on its
evaluation please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you.

Future Efforts
Before remote viewing (RV) technology finds its niche as a routine
intelligence collection tool, it would be desirable for a number of
elements to be solidly in place. These range from a remote viewer
screening/selection procedure at the front end, to a countermeasures
technology at the other to prevent the effective use of RV against U.S.
interests. These elements are:
(1)
Screening/selection
(2)
High-accuracy, high-reliability multi-purpose RV,
including
(a)
Complete knowledge concerning alternative
targeting strategies, such as targeting by
coordinates (CRV), pictures, ID numbers, etc.
(b)
Before-the-fact indicators of success, such
as the use of physiological measures (e.g.,
audio analysis of session tapes), calibration
trials, etc.
(3)
Location/tracking search problem
(4)
Training
(5)
Routine operational procedures
(6)
Evaluation techniques
(7)
Data base management and manipulation techniques
(8)
Intelligence concerning foreign use
(9)
Countermeasures, including
(a)
Passive intrusion detection
.
(b)
Shielding and/or jamming
The RV program has survived as a viable entity to date because of the
progress made with regard to items (2) and (4) through (8), although
clearly additional refinement is required. However, little has been done
with regard to items (1), (3) and (9), and therefore these require focus
in the near future.
For the longer course, supporting research on the physical, psycho-
logical, environmental and other factors needs to be pursued, as detailed
in the chart, next page.

1.
Data Base Management
SRI is implementing a computerized data-base management (DBM)
system to handle the large amount of material being generated on the RV
and intelligence projects. The system, programmed on a dedicated stand-
alone LSI 11/23 microcomputer, utilizes a "user friendly" front-end format
(PERFORMIX) and a relational DBM package (INFORMIX) which permits essentially
untrained personnel to enter and manipulate data. With regard to the RV
data base, the system provides a library/catalog function of data-base
readout by date, site, viewer, etc., as well as higher-order manipulation
functions such as trend analysis. In the intelligence files, cross-
correlation of personnel biographies, institutes, publications, etc., are
easily retrievable.
2.
RV Evaluation
Protocols for RV evaluation have been developed which allow a
task coordinator to define the type of evaluation required for specific
applications. (For example, the type of evaluation required for an RV
demonstration/validation experiment is different from that required for an
RV intelligence assessment.) The protocols include instructions on how to
apply objective rating scales to the data, along with various ways to
analyze the results statistically.
3 .
Location/Tracking Search
Investigation into methods applicable to the search problem is
in its preliminary stages. Pilot efforts to date using various strategies
have not yet converged on a high-reliability procedure, so the effort
continues.
