WHERE: Baylands Nature Preserve is located approximately 3.2 miles from Palo Alto, California, and sits adjacent to the San Francisco Bay. It is a building with walk paths, sitting on a the edge of flat water which floods with incoming and outgoing tides. The building is constructed from lots of poles, and the paths are marked by railings which look like fences. The structure stands alone, well isolated from other structures in the area. The site is very open and airy, with lots of birds. It would be considered a wetland.

HOW TARGETED: I was taken to a windowless room approximately one hour before target time. After my seclusion, a "beacon" or target person randomly selected an envelope from a set of 75 possible locations and departed the building. After leaving the building (at some point in route), the beacon person opened the envelope and proceeded to the target location indicated--Baylands Nature Preserve. At a pre-arranged time, designed to follow the arrival of the beacon person at the targeted site, I was asked to describe in as much detail as possible where the beacon person was located. Great care was taken to insure that I, and the person within the remote viewing room, were both totally blind to either the selection of the envelope or the location of the target site during the experiment.

CONCLUSION: After describing the site in as much detail as possible, we formally logged the results and filed the materials with another individual within the lab who was not participant to the experiment. When the beacon person returned to the lab, I was then taken to the actual site for formal feedback.

EVALUATION: The target was later independently judged by a person who was not participant to the experiment, producing a significant effect size of 0.710 +/- 0.289 (p=0.007). It should also be emphasized that the photographs were pre-defined as part of the target pool definition (in other words, they were not taken at a later date to favor my drawings or statements, but were included as original instructions within the envelope selected by the beacon person.)

PERSONAL: I had no prior knowledge of the target pool or its contents.
