| In 1987, Dr.
Edwin May of the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory
was asked to provide support on a trail target
designed to measure the accuracy and reliability
of remote viewing on "directed energy
systems." The agency requesting this tasking
wanted to formally evaluate remote viewing within
a fully controlled environment while simulating
remote viewing operations against a live
intelligence problem. TASKING:
Four remote viewing
sessions were conducted to provide target
infomration on eight hour intervals. The times
and circumstances were as follows:
08:00 hours.
I was asked to describe
the geographic area and the major gestalt of the
area of interest. I was also asked to provide as
much detail as possible in real-time (i.e., at
08:35 am) while being targeted on the sponsoring
agency's representative.
10:10 hours.
I was asked to describe
the details and activity at the site designated
by the sponsoring agency's on site representative
as of 00:00 hours (Midnight) (i.e., the previous
night.)
16:00 hours.
I was asked to describe
in real-time, the details and activity at a site
"designated" by the sponsor's on-site
representative (i.e., but unknown to me or
laboratory personel at time of targeting.)
24:00 hours.
I was asked to describe,
in real-time the details and activity at a site
designated by two SRI Personel.
ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS:
Each of my sessions were
tape recorded, and I spent time drawing details
whenever possible. The monitor was blind to the
targets, but was free to seek clarification for
any specific points I might have made within my
sessions. (Bear in mind the results for this
simulated intelligence trail does not include
significant data lost during the 10:10 am
session, due to faulty tape recording equipment.)
Evauations were done
using a method called "Fuzzy Set
Analysis." This essentially provided a
determination of:
a. Accuracy -- Based on
the percentage of target elements that were
described correctly when compared to the number
of target elements considered important by the
client (i.e., this was a pre-determined list,
simulating IRs, or Intelligence Requirements.)
b. Reliability -- Based
on the percentage of my responses which were
determined as being correct when compared to the
total number of my responses.
A separate report of
accuracy and reliability was reported for each of
the four sessions, and are listed with each of
those sessions.
NOTE:
All evaluations were done
independently by the agency testing the simulated
use of remote viewing.
I and all of the lab
personel who participated in the experiment were
blind to the targets, prior to and during the
simulation.
I did not know and had
never met the targeted individual.
I was unaware of the
specific targeting agency prior to or during the
simulation.
Aside from those facts
specifically listed within each session, the only
instructions I was given during this simulated
intelligence operation were:
"This individual and
these sites can be located anywhere within the
Continental United States."
