(S/NOFORN)
OBJECTIVE:
It
is
the
objective
of these
procedures to maintain the quality of psychoenergetic training
and applications so that SUN STREAK will continue to support the
broad
spectrum
of
intelligence
and
counterintelligence
requirements in collection, target acquisition, and deception.

of key enemy personnel from covert agents
to key military
commanders, (2) monitoring hostile military movements, lines of
communication, and specific technologies, (3) detecting changes
in the state of military units, (4) detecting and assessing
hostile

against
friendly
units/missions,
and
(5)
detecting
and
assessing
hostile
technological capabilities
in specific locations.
Since
US
Department of Defense personnel, command and control locations
and systems, units, materiel, and operations are subject to a
similar hostile intelligence service threat, SUN STREAK can
assist
in devising
countermeasures to eliminate or
reduce
vulnerabilities.

APPROVAL HISTORY :
a.
(S/NOFORN)
Concept Approval: The Commander, US Army
Materiel Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM) approved in
principle the US Army Material Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA)
involvement in the project GRILL FLAME, which began in April
1978
(GRILL
FLAME
was
the predecessor
to
the
SUN
STREAK
Project) .
In May
1978,
the Assistant Chief
of Staff
for
Intelligence (ACSI) accepted lead responsibility for GRILL FLAME
applications.
Effective 14 January 1981,
by approval of
Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6

Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6
the Under Secretary of the Army, INSCOM became the only active
operational GRILL FLAME element in the Army. Program management
for GRILL FLAME was transferred to Commander, INSCOM effective
11 February 1981. OACSI, DAMI-ISH remained the Army focal point
for policy matters and interface at the national level. Overall
DoD responsibility resided with the Defense Intelligence Agency
(DIA). Also in 1981, a joint services GRILL FLAME Committee
consisting of DIA, the US Air Force and US Army was formed.
Later the Air Force Chief of Staff directed that the Air Force
withdraw from the committee and all psychoenergetic programs.
A
comprehensive program was designed to determine the operational
parameters and usefulness of psychoenergetics and assess
the
threat these phenomena posed to national security.
At that time
DIA
was R&D
oriented
and INSCOM's GRILL FLAME
Project
was
applications oriented. In the FY83 DOD budget review the Budget
Subcommittee of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
curtailed all psychoenergetic activities funded by the Army in
the National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP), but directed
that DIA could complete the third year of their effort and that
all future Army funding be budgeted outside the NFIP.
INSCOM
terminated formal involvement with GRILL FLAME at the end of FY
82; in the fall of 1982, in keeping with congressional desires,
the Commanding General INSCOM provided funding from Security and
Investigative
Activities (S&IA)
monies, and continued
its
efforts under
a provisional compartmented
SAP nicknamed CENTER
LANE. On 1 September 1983, the Secretary of the Army approved
continued Army participation in CENTER LANE activities within
INSCOM and with appropriate contractors in a cooperative effort

with
DIA.
In
July 1984,
CG,
INSCOM
determined
that
the
technology
anđ
intelligence collection
methodology
used
by
CENTER LANE would have greater potential
and could be better
utilized at a higher echelon in DoD.
Accordingly, CG INSCOM
offered to transfer to DIA CENTER LANE's assets and personnel.
On 7 March 1985, a memorandum of agreement was concluded between
DIA and INSCOM providing for the interim operational control of
CENTER LANE by DIA, and for the ultimate assimilation of CL
assets and personnel into DIA's new SUN STREAK psychoenergetics
program.
b.
(S/NOFORN)
Human
Use
Approval :
SUN
STREAK
was
designated a "Human Use" program as the result of a DIA General
Counsel decision in
1985, which determined that the
Project involved "Experimentation on Human Subjects," and that
relevant
Human
Use protocols did
indeed apply to
Project
procedures and technologies. Conduct of the Project under Human
Use regulations was subsequently approved in
1985 by the
Deputy Undersecretary of Defense
.
Appendix A contains an
historical summary of the Human Use issue, as well as a list of
the pertinent regulations governing SUN STREAK activities.

SELECTION OF PERSONNEL:
a.
(S/NOFORN)
Current Selection Criteria:
After over a
year of
participation
within
the
psychoenergetic project,
original
source personnel
were tested by the INSCOM Staff
Psychologist in an attempt to determine a suitable profile by
which further participants could be identified. The specific
tests administered were (see Appendix B for test descriptions) :
(1)
The Minnesota
Multiphasic Personality
Inventory
(MMPI) .
(2)
Gordon Personal Profile - Inventory (GPI) .
(3)
Fundamental
Interpersonal
Relations
Orientation-Behavior (FIRO-B) .
(4)
California Psychological Inventory (CPI) .
(5)
Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) .
(6)
Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) .
For the most part, the group presented itself as emotionally
stable with no marked trends. There did appear
to be an
interesting similarity
in defensive style, a tending
toward
artistic, aesthetic, and cultural interests, and an introversive
style of emotional expression.
From these test results the

Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6
INSCOM Staff Psychologist constructed a test that may be used as
an
initial
screening
tool
in
the
selection
of
new
psychoenergetic participants.
This
new test is called
the
INSCOM Factor Questionnaire. This instrument is used to compare
the personality profiles of prospective Project candidates with
successful psycoenergetic operatives.
A high
score suggests
that
individuals have similar characteristics
to operational
psychoenergetic personnel and may be potential selectees for the
project.
A score of 20 or higher is considered to re similar to
SUN
STREAK
personnel.
Individuals
who
score
within
the
parameters specified by the INSCOM
psychologist
would
then
receive personal interviews with SUN STREAK Project personnel.
From these interviews new project participants would be selected
and trained.
b.
(S/NOFORN)
Projected Selection Criteria:
SRI-I has
completed a contract to investigate and report on a particular
aspect of psychoenergetics relating to operational management of
personnel; that is, to determine if a personality testing
technique can be created which, when applied to a general
population, would delineate specific individuals who exhibit a

SECRET
higher degree of talent for psychoenergetic abilities.
Though
the results provided by DIA came far short of providing either a
thorough list of dependable selection criteria or a reliable
selection system, they did establish a valuable data base and a
promising point of departure for a future project that should be
able to provide exactly what is needed.
c.
(S/NOFORN)
Voluntary Consent: As required under the
regulations governing "Human Use" (see para 2., Appendix A), all
personnel operate on a
strictly
voluntary
basis,
and may
withdraw at any time without any form of prejudicial action or
consideration directed against them.
Further, participants are
informed of any known or potential risks that might be inherent
in program participation.
This is accomplished through the use
of a verbal briefing from a knowledgeable SUN STREAK official,
and the execution of a personalized Statement of Consent form
outlining all pertinent information and considerations.
The
voluntary consent requirement pertains to individuals assigned
to the SUN STREAK Project and contractors/consultants.
A sample
of the voluntary consent form
is
attached
as Inclosure 5,

TRAINING PROCEDURES:
To provide a framework for
the standardizing of the task of psychoenergetic learning,
a
number of methodologies are being utilized and conducted within
the SUN STREAK Project. These are as follows:
a.

(1)
Purpose:
To provide
new
personnel
with
an
introduction to training and applications procedures.
(2)
Administered by:
£
SUN STREAK Project personnel and
selected contractor and subcontractors.
(3) Location: Fort George G. Meade, Maryland and other
designated locations.
(4)
Duration:
One to six months.
(5)
Description of Procedures: Orientation
testing/training is developed from the practical application of
state-of-the-art psychoenergetic technology drawn from academic
institutions,
scientific
laboratories,
and
research
establishments around the world.
It is an eclectic approach,
using
those
methods
which
have
applications potential.
Orientation testing is designed to determine if new personnel
have aptitudes which would be of operational value and could be

Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6
developed through training.
This orientation
testing consists
of
a
series
of
controlled
exercises
in
psychoenergetic
functioning. New personnel may be asked to attempt to perceive,
communicate with, and/or perturb characteristics of a designated
target, person, or event remote in space and/or time from that
individual.
Orientation training is composed
of practical
exercises in Remote Viewing, lectures, literature review, and
observation
of
others.
use
of
locally
It
includes
the
significant sites, as well as more remote geographical locations
as
targets. A target pool consists of a controlled group of
sites or
targets and their associated targeting information.
Prior to the beginning of a training
session,
a target
is
randomly selected from this target pool.
Information available
concerning the target is kept from the trainee until after the
session.
(6)
Training Session Preliminaries:
Before a first
training
session is scheduled, the person being trained
is
oriented fully to the procedure to be followed by the monitor.
The trainee is instructed that he or she should state only raw
perceptions,
since
experience
has
shown
that
specific
definitions are quite often wrong while initial raw perception
tends to be correct.
Personnel
being trained are always
encouraged to express their feelings and ideas for enhancing all
aspects of the psychoenergetics collection process.
(7)
Training
Session
Dynamics:
During
the 30-60
minutes prior to the agreed-upon time of a training session, the
SECHE

monitor
offers some encouragement to the
trainee in the same
manner that a coach might give a pep talk to his team.
During
the 15 minutes immediately before the session the trainee and
monitor are generally silent.
Experience has shown (unpublished
data) that this quiet time enhances the training process.
The
training
room
is
homogeneously-colored,
acoustic-tiled,
and
featureless,
with
light
controlled
by
a
dimmer, so
that
environmental distractions can be minimized.
During the entire
process the trainee and monitor function as a team. The monitor
provides encouragement with words of reassurance that the task
is, in fact, possible. At no time is the session conducted by
the trainee in the absence of all other persons.
If the trainee
does not have any immediate sensory impressions, the monitor
applies no pressure.
Rather,
the monitor reassures the trainee
that there is no time limit for the training session.
If it
appears to the monitor that
the impressions are in
some
way
contradictory
or
inconsistent,
the monitor
may then
attempt
clarification by asking questions in order to verify what the
trainee first describes.
All sessions are tape-recorded, and
pen and paper are available for the trainee to sketch his or her
perceptions.
Experience has shown that some trainees prefer to

combine written and oral descriptions, while some prefer to work
sequentially.
The average training session for orientation is
approximately
15
minutes
of
actual
perception.
Trainees
generally are not permitted to go beyond 30 minutes
as this
leads to perceptual confusion and eventual loss of the training
affect.
(8)
Post Session Dynamics:
After the training session
is over, the trainee and monitor
obtain specific information
about the target, either in picture descriptive form for remote
geographic sites, or -- as in the case of local sites -- by actually
visiting the target site. The trainee and monitor then discuss
the session results. The purpose of this post-session activity
is to provide the trainee with the satisfaction of knowing how
well he or she did while mental perceptions of the targeted site
are still fresh in mind.

Description of Procedure:
CRV
training
is a
contracted service provided by SRI-I.
The training
involves
lectures on theory coupled with practical exercises and drills.
Particularly effective instructional procedures include active
participation wherein the trainee interacts with the curriculum
materials by responding, practicing, and testing each step of
the material to be mastered; information feedback, wherein the
trainee finds out with minimal delay whether the response is
correct; and individualized instruction, wherein the trainee
moves ahead at his or her own rate. The training procedures
have been broken down into several stages representing various
elements of CRV phenomena.
These
stages
both
facilitate
training
and
actually
follow
the
predictable
course
of
increasing perception which builds itself in specific increments
and impact. Stages
1 through
3
appertain to general site
features,
which
become
increasingly
refined
as
individual
competency with Stage 3 techniques develops.
Stage 4 involves
perception of specific site elements, a good portion of which

may not be available to any other intelligence techniques, save
for actual penetration of the site.
Stage 5 allows the trainee
in a sense to reverse
the procedure and "interrogate"
his
perceptions,
allowing
clarification
of various
specific
or
subtle features of the site.
Stage 6 permits the construction
of
3-dimensional

of
major
site characteristics,
with
increasing
refinements
in
detail.
Experience

extension
indicates
that
additional
increments
exist
beyond
Stage
6.
Research
is underway
to
develop and define the
parameters and potentials of these additional fields.
(6)
Session Dynamics: In conducting a CRV session, a
remote
viewer
or
trainee and a monitor 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
which
allows
either
recording
for
documentation, or
monitoring by
individuals outside the room.
The
room
is
homogeneously-colored,
acoustic-tiled,
and
featureless,
with
light
controlled
by
a
dimmer,
SO
that
environmental distractions can be minimized.
The session begins
when the monitor provides targeting information, in the form of
specific
site
coordinates,
to
the
trainee.
For
training
purposes the monitor is allowed to know enough about the site to
enable
him
to
determine
when
accurate
versus
inaccurate
information is being provided. The session then proceeds with
the monitor repeating the targeting information at appropriate
intervals
and providing
necessary
feedback.
The
feedback
procedure was designed to reinforce the trainee's contact with

the site but not to assist him by random cuing.
The remote
viewer generates verbal responses 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.
(7)
Post Session Dynamics:
After
the training session
is over, the trainee and monitor obtain specific information
about the target. As in the case of orientation training, this
is presented in picture descriptive form for remote geographic
sites, or in the case of local sites, may involve actually
visiting the target site. The trainee and monitor then discuss
the session results, again with the purpose of providing the
trainee with the satisfaction of knowing how well he or she did
while mental perceptions of the targeted site are still fresh.

Description of Procedure:
Individualized advanced
training programs are developed to meet specific applications
needs.
Such programs may involve training
in biofeedback,
communications skills, perturbation techniques, discrete state,
hemi-sync, search, Neuro-linguistic Programming, and alternate
target acquisition methods. One program of particular interest
is hemi-sync training conducted by the Monroe Institute of
Applied Sciences (MIAS) , Faber, VA:
The MIAS hemi-sync techniques are used to teach sources to
control
highly
specialized
mental
states
conducive
to
psychoenergetic
performance.
This
form
of
advanced
individual training is only used with sources
of
proven
performance and a recognized degree of maturity.
Training
is accomplished in four essential phases; (1) application of
the Monroe "Discovery" series done at Fort Meade to screen
personnel and prepare for phase two; (2) Attendance at the
MIAS Gateway program for qualified personnel, conducted in a
seminar atmosphere;
(3) One-on-one training sessions with
Robert A. Monroe at MIAS, which are designed to "customize"

their parent organization without their specific prior consent,
and they will be referred to in project reports only by an
alpha-numeric designator. Products of SUN STREAK such as tapes,

subjects,

In March 1979, The
Surgeon General's Human Subjects Research Review Board reviewed
the GRILL FLAME protocol and concluded that it represented
technology transfer and validation of the technology transfer,
rather than research or clinical investigation, and as such,
GRILL FLAME activities did not require approval for human use.
However, the Board expressed concerns that future Army follow-on
work might be classified as research, and as such, plans should
be considered to establish credible human use review procedures
to oversee GRILL FLAME activities.

In April 1980,
the Under Secretary of the Army approved the continuation of
GRILL FLAME activities. In October 1980, the DOD, DIA, and Army
General Counsel jointly agreed that it would be prudent to
obtain written approval from the Deputy Secretary of Defense to

The

The MMPI is designed to provide

characteristics that affect personal and social adjustment.
The
point of view determining the importance of a trait in this case
is that of the clinical or personnel worker who wishes to assay

are commonly characteristic of disabling

abnormality.

Psychological
Inventory (CPI) :

Harrison G. Gough, Ph.D., Consulting Psychologists Press, Inc.
The
CPI
is
intended
primarily
for
use
with
"normal"
(non-psychiatrically
disturbed)
subjects.
Its
scales
are
addressed to personality characteristics
important for social
living and social interaction, i.e., to variables that are woven
into the fabric of everyday life. "Folk concepts" such as these
are
hypothesized
to be relevant
to
the prediction
and
understanding of interpersonal behavior in any setting, culture,
or circumstance. Thus, although the inventory has been found to
have special utility in work with particular kinds of problems,
e.g., delinquent and asocial
behavior, it can also provide
information of value in regard
to
educational, vocational,
familial, and many other issues.

Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) :

Allen L. Edwards, Ph.D., University of Washington.
The EPPS was
designed primarily as an instrument for research and counseling
purposes, to provide quick and convenient measures of a number

Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6
of relatively independent normal
personality variables.
The
statements in the EPPS and the variables that these statements
purport to measure have their origin in a list of manifest needs
presented by H. A. Murray and other noted psychologists.
The
names that have been assigned to the variables are those used by
Murray.
These
15 measurable
personality
variables
are;
achievement
(ach), deference (def), order
(ord) , exhibition
(exh) , autonomy (aut), affiliation (aff), intraception (int) ,
succorance (suc) , dominance (dom) , abasement (aba), nurturance
(nur) , change (chg), endurance (end), heterosexuality (het), and
aggression
(agg) .
In addition to the above 15 personality
variables, the EPPS provides a measure of test consistency and a
measure of profile stability.
6. Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) :
Developed by Everett
L. Shostrom, Ph.D., Educational and Industrial Testing Service,
San Diego, California. The profile on the POI shows the degree
to which the subject's attitudes and values compare with those
of
self-actualizing people. A self-actualizing person is one
who is more fully functioning and who lives a more enriched life
than does the average person. Such a person is developing and
utilizing his unique talents to the fullest extent.
