WHERE: Pete's Harbor Restuarant is located approximately 4.8 miles from the laboratory in Palo Alto. It is located adjacent to a small boat dock. It is a stand-alone building which sits back on the rear of a large parking area to the front. One enters through the front up a wide set of stairs. It is a brown structure constructed of poles and weathered wood.

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--Pete's Harbor Restuarant. 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. In addition to the remote viewing information, I was asked whether or not I felt good about my targeting material. I rated the likelihood of my remote viewing success as very High.

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. While I was successful in stating how good I felt my information was prior to knowing about the actual target or results of the final evaluation, laboratory studies strongly suggest that most remote viewers are usually the worst judge of their own performance prior to an independent assessment. The degree of accuracy I display in this regard from time to time, can probably be attributed to twenty-one years of professional remote viewing experience.
