(S-SS) At the start of this session, I tried to rid myself
of the feeling that there will be no attacks on U.S. flagged
ships in the Gulf of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf during the month
of September, by declaring it as both A.V. and AOL.
3.
(S-SS)
Having done this, I located myself on the Persian
Gulf, and looked for a U.S. flagged ship, having a problem.
Perceptions were:
a.
There was'a U.S. flagged ship having problems which was
located near land, the coast being in a north/south
'direction at that point (see sketch, bottom, P. 1)
b.
The ship, itself is facing in a north/south direction at
the time of the problem.
4.
(S-SS)
As a double check on this information, I then
retasked myself with "U. S. ship having trouble in the Persian
Gulf", and got nothing.
5.
(S-SS)
It dawned on me that I had just given myself two
different tasking cues, so I again cued myself with U.s.
„flagged shipthaving trouble in the Persian Gulf".
Perceptions received were:
-
Ship facing in a north/south direction.
b
Something wrong (NFI) High on one end.
U
The end with "something wrong" is the northern end of the
ship, facing away from land.
d.
Feeling that this is the same ship as perceived above.
6.
(S-SS)
It did not occur to me during the session to draw a
timeline, and check for a specific date of occurrance.

I then tried a pendulum exercise, to check the
veracity of each element of EEI. Each item was tested
repeatedly, with the following results:

ended the session without retasking for the Gulf of
Hormuz.
I realize now, however, that the last session, in which
I got that there will be no hostile activities, was cued strictly
toward problems in the Gulf of Hormuz, and did not include the
Persian Gulf.

Viewer's critique:
I just don't have that glowing
inner confidence about this one, so am not certain how much I
would depend on its results.
