Clairvoyant Remote Viewing: The U.s.a. Sponsored Psychic Spying
M. Srinivasan * , Former Associate Director, BARC
Abstract
'Remote Viewing,' popularly known as Actress Sensory Perception (ESP) is the ability of human beingness to perceive information and imagery of remote geographical targets. Advanced practitioners of the Indian Yoga system were well acquainted with 'Divya Drishti.'
This paper deals with experiments conducted in United states of america in which certain individuals were trained to acquire such 'Remote Viewing' capabilities for collecting military intelligence.
Introduction
During the Cold War years, the Us and Soviet Union are known to accept been spying on each other using the services of psychic 'remote viewers', with the specific objective of gathering intelligence data of military significance. In uncomplicated terms 'remote viewing' is 'the ability of human participants to learn data about spatially (and temporally) remote geographical targets otherwise inaccessible by whatsoever known sensory means'.
There were two complementary components to the The states Remote Viewing programme:
(a) A inquiry plan on 'Anomalous Cognition (AC)' directed initially by physicists Hal Putoff and Russell Targ at the laboratories of Stanford Research International (SRI) at Menlo Park, California which was shifted in 1988 to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), under the direction of Edwin May. The findings of their early studies have been reported in prestigious scientific journals during the 1970s. one-3
(b) Mission-oriented operational assignments overseen by various intelligence agencies of the Us Government, code-named Project STARGATE.
Information regarding this height-undercover programme was partly declassified by the CIA in July 1995 post-obit the thaw in the Cold War. Since and so, several research articles 4 and many books v-10 have been published by some of the persons who were closely associated with this program. These authors have however expressed regret that they had non been permitted to reveal much of the 'sensitive' details of the programme. The present brief account is based on the published sources of data.
Groundwork to Remote Viewing Faculty
The kinesthesia of Remote Viewing is popularly too known every bit Extra Sensory Perception (or ESP for brusk), a term coined by the pioneering parapsychology researcher J.B. Rhine in 1934. Students of Indian Yogic lore are however well acquainted with it. Aphorism iii.26 of Patanjali's archetype work Yoga Sutras (400 B.C.) describes the first of the ashta-siddhis (or psychic powers) that a serious practitioner of Yoga tin can acquire as 'obtaining knowledge of the pocket-size, the hidden or distant past directing the lite of superphysical faculty'. Russell Targ, has commented that the techniques used past the US viewers for 'looking into the altitude and the hereafter' are 'strikingly similar to the detailed instructions given in the Yoga Sutra!'
Most ancient civilisations appear to have been acquainted with the noesis of this particular kinesthesia of the human mind. In both Indian and Chinese scriptures there are instances of the clairvoyant skills of people being used as a tool for obtaining relevant military information in the battle-basis.
It is learnt that the United states Government government started paying serious attention to investigating the possible applicability of 'remote viewing' techniques for armed forces purposes only when a book titled Psychic Discoveries Behind the Atomic number 26 Mantle, authored by Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder, was published in 1970 xi . This book appears to accept jolted the U.s. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) into action, triggering what one journalist has dubbed equally the 'Race for Inner Infinite'! Hal Puthoff, the founder and beginning Director of the SRI Studies has given a graphic business relationship of how information technology all began in his recollections of the program. 6
Laboratory Investigations of Remote Viewing
Systematic scientific investigation of telepathy and ESP had been carried out 12 in the US by J.B. Rhine and his associates during the 1930s and the 1940s at Dukes Academy, using a gear up of v 'Zener Cards' containing symbols such as square, circle, star, plus sign, and a wavy design. One of these cards selected at random would be kept open in i room and a 'transmitting amanuensis' would focus his mental attention and concentration on the same. A 'receiver' or 'viewer' sitting in an adjacent room would attempt to estimate which card is open. The success rate in such 'card guessing' tests would be recorded. If the experimental hit charge per unit was statistically more pregnant than the 'chance expectation' rate of one in five (or 20 per cent) it would exist interpreted as evidence of a telepathic or ESP mode of data transfer.
Unfortunately, to obtain statistically significant results the experiment had to exist repeated thousands of times and this led to 'decline furnishings' due to colorlessness (or tiredness) on the function of the remote viewer. To overcome this problem, parapsychology researchers at SRI started using a fix of pictures taken from the National Geographic mag instead of the zener cards. A 'rank order' method of quantifying the success rate was adult for this.
The focus of research and so shifted to assessing the success rate in 'examination bed' or field trials where a remote viewer was asked to sense and describe a natural scene or a war machine site where an 'agent' or 'beacon' was located. Both the 'transmitting agent' at the site and the 'viewer' or 'receiver' sitting in the lab would exist asked to fill out an identical 30 point questionnaire with a yes ('1') or no ('0') mark. This method of cess was kickoff developed by Princeton University researchers in their Engineering science Anomalies Research Programme 13 while investigating 'Precognitive Remote Perception'. Using avant-garde mathematical methods developed in the field of artificial intelligence and blueprint recognition, the degree of success of the remote viewer was quantified.
In the next stage of research simulating armed services spying missions, the presence of the transmitting 'amanuensis' at the target site was dispensed with and the remote viewer was encouraged to view relevant military targets inside the US, given only the latitude and longitude of the target site. A brief summary of the outcome of the research on 'anomalous knowledge' sponsored by the US Regime is available in Edwin May's website <www.lfr.org>. Dr. May was the Director of this enquiry at SAIC when the programme was officially terminated in 1995.
Examples of Some "Test Bed" Trials
In the form of their investigations the SRI researchers identified at least vi 'star performers' with an extraordinary inborn remote viewing talent. While the names of some of them have been revealed, others are only identified by a lawmaking number. Those revealed are briefly mentioned below:
(a) Remote Viewing of a High Technology Site (May 7, 1987)
Viewer: Receiver # R-372 (Now known to be Joe McMoneagle)
Main Target Site: Electron Accelerator at The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
Cue Supplied: Proper noun and Social Security Number of an Intelligence Officeholder ('target person') unknown to the remote viewer or others stationed at SRI Labs.
Consignment: Describe the target person's movements and the ambience of his surroundings at eight-60 minutes intervals during a span of 24 hours.
Target Person'due south Actual Movements: Besides moving in the LLNL site, the target person also visited the windmill farm just outside the LLNL premises at 4 P.M.
Results: "Fuzzy Set up Analysis" of the diverse descriptions provided by the receiver showed that the overall accuracy of the remote viewing was 77 per cent and overall reliability 78 per cent. The reliability of the description of the windmill subcontract was 100 per cent (accuracy is defined as the 'percentage of target elements described correctly by the viewer' and reliability as 'percentage of receivers response that is correct'.)
(b) Swimming Pool Complex at Rinconada Park, Palo Alto (1974)
This viewing was carried out by Pat Price who was described past Russell Targ equally ane of their 'psychic treasures'. The target was selected randomly from out of a 'target pool' of sites, unknown to Pat Price and Russell Targ who were stationed within a 'Faraday Cage' in the Radio Physics Building of SRI International Labs. Hal Puthoff and an associate Bart collection off to the target site, which was five miles abroad. Later the alloted time of 30 minutes, Pat Toll was asked to view and describe the target site.
Pat said he saw 'a circular pool of water about a hundred feet in diameter' (it was really 110 ft); he as well saw 'a rectangular puddle 60 ft by 80 ft' (information technology was actually 75' past 100'); he went on to depict a concrete block house which was also at the site. He drew a diagram of the complex. Pat said that the site seemed to be a water purification institute and drew two water storage tanks and some rotating machinery such as pumps etc.
After completing the cartoon and clarification, all of them collection to the site to assess the accuracy of Pat's viewing. Everything was remarkably accurate except for the 2 water tanks and the water purification plant, which were absent.
Pat Price'due south inclusion of the non-existent tanks remained a puzzle for 21 years. However, the mystery was unexpectedly solved in March 1995 when, as office of the 'centennial celebrations' of the metropolis of Palo Alto, a commemorative volume was published. This brochure carried a film of the Rinconada Park site taken in 1913 on the occasion of the inauguration of the city'due south new water works showing 2 water tanks exactly at the location indicated past Pat Price in his 1974 viewing!
This amazing example brings out one of the remarkable features of remote viewing, namely the ability of consciousness to access the past. In RV literature it is referred to every bit 'retro cognition' while in ancient Indian texts information technology is described as accessing the 'akashic records'!
(c) Discovery of Rings around Planet Jupiter
Ingo Swann6 the famous psychic who was in fact responsible for getting Hal Puthoff and his colleagues at SRI Labs interested in 'investigating the boundary between the breathing and inanimate' in 1972, suggested carrying out an experiment to remote-view the planet Jupiter before the upcoming NASA Pioneer-x flyby. Much to the "chagrin of Ingo Swann and the SRI researchers, he found a ring around Jupiter and wondered if perhaps he had remote-viewed the planet Saturn by mistake". But when the Pioneer-10 flyby did accept identify it confirmed the existence of rings effectually Jupiter.
(Interestingly, a Pune based medical doc by the proper name of Dr. P.V.Vartak has contacted this author and sent newspaper clippings describing his astral visits to the Moon, Mars and Jupiter.)
Examples of Operational Assignments
The following are brief summaries of some very interesting operational assignments as reported in the declassified remote viewing literature.
(a) Radio Listening Post: Urals (1974)
A 'receiver' volunteered to 'scan' the Soviet Matrimony for a radio listening post and claimed to take institute one located at Latitude 65-degrees, 0-minutes, 57-seconds (North) and Longitude 59-degrees, 59-minutes, 59-seconds (Eastward) (annotation the astonishing precision in pinpointing the geographical coordinates!). The receiver and then described the detailed geographical features of the surround of the site equally follows:
"Top, 6200 ft. Scrubby brush, tundra-type ground hummocks, rocky outcroppings, mountains with adequately steep slopes. Facing north for most lx miles, basis slopes to marshland. A mountain chain runs off to the right, about 35-degrees east of north. Facing due south, mountains run fairly north and due south. Facing west, mountains drop down to foothills for threescore miles or and so: some rivers running roughly n. Facing east, mountains are rather abrupt, dropping to rolling hills and to flat state. Area site clandestine, reinforced concrete, doorways of steel of the roll-up type. Unusually loftier ratio of women to men, at least at night. I see some helipads, concrete. Light rails tracks run from pads to some other set of runway that parallel the doors into the mountain. 30 miles n (5-degrees westward of north) of the site is a radar installation with i big (165 ft) dish and 10 modest fast-track dishes."
The higher up report was verified by personnel in the sponsor arrangement as existence essentially right.
(b) Nuclear Research Centre at Semipalatinsk, in the former Soviet Union (July 1974)
This was CIA's very first operational viewing assignment. The viewer was Pat Price. Pat was asked to draw what was located at a suspected underground nuclear testing site in the former Soviet Spousal relationship known by the code name PNUTS. CIA indicated that information technology was of peachy involvement to them. They had in their possession a spy satellite photograph of the site.
The viewer was given but the geographical coordinates of the site in degrees, minutes and seconds (This type of viewing has been referred to as 'Coordinate Remote Viewing'). Pat was also told that the site was an R&D test facility. The regime'southward representative decided that if the viewer described either the known multi-story crane or odd structures resembling oil well derricks, then they would proceed.
Pat's description of this remote site in his own words was, "I am lying on my back on the roof of a two or three storeyed brick building. It's a sunny day. The dominicus feels adept. There's this most amazing thing. There is a giagantic crane moving back and forth over my caput . . . As I drift up in the air and await down, it seems to be riding on a rails with i rail on each side of the building. I've never seen anything like that". This viewing assignment continued for a couple weeks during which he drew pictures of the gigantic gantry crane and many other items at the site such as "a cluster of compressed gas cylinders" which were also visible in the satellite pictures. The gantry crane was moving on 8 large wheels, two on each of the four legs. This unique feature was confirmed by the satellite photos. (The remarkable similarity of his drawing of the crane and the satellite photograph can exist seen in Ed May'southward website <world wide web.lfr.org>).
In after sessions, Pat described the activities in the interior of the building on peak of which he was lying earlier. He explained that "people were assembling a giant 60 ft diameter metallic sphere using thick metal 'gores' like sections of an orange peel, simply the workmen were having problem welding it all together as the pieces were warping; they were therefore looking for a lower temperature welding material".
SRI researchers were later told that the site was the super-cloak-and-dagger Soviet atomic bomb laboratory at Semipalatisk. They also learnt 3 years afterward from a news item published in Aviation Week magazine that "the sphere which was virtually 58 anxiety in diameter was intended to capture and store energy from nuclear driven explosives or pulse power generators". (Russell Targ has commented that 'the accurateness of Price's drawing is the sort of matter that I as a physicist would never have believed, if I had non seen it for myself.)
(c) A Spectacular Example of Precognitive Remote Viewing
(Carried out past Joe McMoneagle in September 1979)
Mission: Spy satellite photographs had shown suspicious heavy construction action effectually a building located 100 meters from a large body of water, somewhere in northern Russia. The National Security Quango (NSC) wanted to know what was going on there.
Consignment: Joe was given just the geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) and asked to describe the site.
When Joe said it was a "cold location, nigh a torso of water with big buildings and smoke stacks etc", NSC was satisfied that he was probably at the right site. They then showed him the satellite photograph in their possession and asked him to notice out what was going on inside the edifice. Joe said, "The interior is very big and noisy; active working area, total of scaffolding, girders and blue flashes probably arc welding." He took a interruption and continued in some other session, "Probably a huge submarine under construction (Draws a sketch with dimensions, etc). A long apartment deck; strangely angled missile tubes, virtually 18 to 20 in number. A new type of machinery to drive the submarine (nuclear powered?); a double hull."
At this point the NSC representatives figured that Joe must exist incorrect because if what he said was truthful, it would be the world'southward biggest submarine! No United states of america intelligence agency had ever heard of it. The US did not possess a submarine this large. Too, who would build a submarine in a building so far from water? How would they launch it? But since Joe had acquired the reputation of being very accurate, NSC asked him to 'view the future' and find out when it would be launched!
Joe 'scanned the time to come month by month' and said the Russians would nail a channel to connect the building with the trunk of water and launch the submarine in 4 months.
Confirmation : In January 1980, exactly as predicted by Joe, spy satellite pictures confirmed the launching of the globe'south biggest submarine after construction of an artificlal aqueduct connecting the building to the h2o. It had xx missile tubes, a large flat deck etc exactly as described by Joe!
(This instance brings out spectacularly the 'non local nature of consciousness' not only in infinite but also in time, even into the future!)
(d) Location of hostage being held in Lebanon (February 1988)
The Us Defence force Intelligence Agency asked where Marine Col.William Higgins was being held equally hostage in Lebanon. A viewer said Higgins was in a specific edifice in a specific South Lebanon village. A released hostage subsequently confirmed that Higgins had probably been in that building at that time.
(c)Some other example of Precognitive Remote Viewing (1989)
Pentagon asked a viewer about possible Libyan response to U.S. criticism of chemical weapons work at Rabta.
The viewer's response: A ship named 'Patua' or 'Potua' would arrive in Tripoli to transport chemicals to an eastern Libyan port.
Verification: A send named 'Batato' in fact arrived in Tripoli and loaded undetermined cargo, which was transported to an eastern Libyan port.
Implications and Conclusions:
The intelligence community in the US clearly seems to value RV data whenever it is available, equally a very useful additional input, complementing information gathered through various other means and methods. For example, in the present war against terrorism there is every reason to speculate that the agencies involved in tracking down Osama Bin Laden must have sought the help of some of their reputed 'remote viewers' for whatsoever value it may exist.
However, the more important implication of the findings of RV enquiry to humanity equally a whole perhaps is that it serves to validate the historic period-old concept of many Eastern wisdom-traditions that have always emphasised the non-local nature of human 'consciousness'. Thus it serves to provide some degree of scientific validity to various forms of spiritual and distant healing practices every bit emphasised by Russell Targ himself in his 1997 book titled Miracles of Mind. 9
Another very important aspect emerging from RV inquiry is the question of precognition and its implications. It again seems to give a measure of 'scientific credence' to various stunning but anecdotal stories of premonitions and remarkably successful 'predictions' such as that of Edgar Casey. Princeton Academy's PEAR group and others take discussed these implications in depth. 13 Precognition touches on some very fundamental philosophical questions regarding gratuitous volition and causality.
In view of the importance and implications of the subject of Remote Viewing to our agreement of Consciousness and considering that Remote Viewing had already been discussed in considerable depth in our aboriginal scriptures, it is high fourth dimension that the field of study be taken up for systematic evaluation at some reputed bookish institution(due south) in India. In particular, it would be of corking interest to verify if appropriate yogic/meditation/or other training practices can help to train subjects in developing Remote Viewing skills every bit claimed by some yoga scholars in Republic of india. 15
