ACTIVITY DEMONSTRATION
I.
(U) PURPOSE:
(U) This report is intended to provide an informal account
of one aspect of DT-S project activity.
II.
(U) SCOPE:
(S/NF/LIMDIS)
This demonstration was limited to a single
remote viewing session based on Beacon Person Targeting (BPT) ,
and involved DT-S staff. It served as a demonstration for a
newcomer to DT-S and also provided DT-S staff with a useful
practice activity.
III.
(U)
ACTIVITY DETAILS:
(S/NF/LIMDIS)
Recently I decided to schedule a remote
viewing experiment involving Beacon Person Targeting (BPT) with
the DT-S staff. This gave them a brief reprieve from their
current report writing activity and helped keep them in touch
with the phenomenological aspects of our area of interest.
It
also provided an opportunity to give a newcomer, staff member
370, a remote viewing demonstration.
(C) In BPT, a designated person (i.e., a "beacon") visits a
randomly selected site where he/she concentrates on the key
target area features. At the same time a "viewer", who is of
course blind to the target selected, attempts to describe the key
features of this site. After the session, and after all data and
data summaries are recorded, the beacon person returns and takes
the viewer back to the site for feedback. In this way, the
viewer receives rapid and total feedback and can readily verify
(as can others) what was correct or incorrect in his/her session
data. The actual target site is unknown to any of the project
personnel until after the feedback session with the beacon person
occurs. The target is not known by the beacon person until
he/she opens the sealed target package with driving instruction;
this does not occur until after the beacon person is out of sight
of the home base facility.

(S/NF/LIMDIS)
In this session, the viewer was staff member
018, the beacon persons were staff members 002 and 025, and the
monitor was staff member 052. The observer, 370, was located in
the viewing room. Staff member 049 and I controlled target
selection and insured that proper protocol was followed.
We also
observed the entire BPT session on the video monitor and heard
all dialogue over the intercom.
The entire experimental period
took about one hour.
This included travel to and from the target
area for feedback after the formal session.
The only information
known to those directly involved was that the target could be
anywhere within a 20 minute drive. Even though 002 had
previously prepared the local area target pool from which this
particular site was drawn, she had no knowledge of the specific
target selected until she was in the car, well away from home
base.
(S/NF/LIMDIS) The results of this session were encouraging
and suggested that valid "beacon person contact" had in fact
occurred.
The viewer's first impressions included
" .. . water, .... Burba Lake". Many, but not all, of his responses
had relevance to the target site. Some of the responses were too
general for clear assessment.
It turned out that the target was
in fact the Burba Lake Park area on Ft Meade, though it could
have been a site anywhere within a 20 minute drive.
(S/NF/LIMDIS)
As a result of the positive response to this
BPT activity, I plan to schedule additional BPT experiments in
the future. They will be low-key and will not interfere with
other activities. I have asked 002 (who is a good beacon person
and who has a good target eye) to develop a comprehensive area
target pool so that we can refine our BPT activities. We still
need to improve out protocol and develop a consistent evaluation
procedure. (We are working on a quantification method).
Improvements in our BPT activity should be helpful later on when
we begin to fold our activities into research-oriented projects
in support of the Congressional interests. BPT sessions such as
this also help us to find the bugs in our overall procedures and
help the interviewers improve their technique.
