CI/OPSEC PROPOSAL

CIA-STARGATE

Open AI Summary

This document is a proposal from the Special Actions Division dated November 1, 1982. It addresses the current intelligence shortfall regarding the US Army Intelligence and Security Command's (USAINSCOM) use of parapsychological collection. The proposal suggests establishing a program, called Project CENTER LANE, to conduct extensive searches of automated open source data files. The objectives of the program include investigating the availability and degree of Army involvement in paranormal activities, establishing the current state-of-the-art applicability of paranormal techniques for intelligence collection, and establishing a knowledge base for training techniques and other paranormal techniques of military value. The recommended method is to use a protected IBM/Telecommunications terminal installed in ADCSOPS-HUMINT that provides access to hundreds of shared automated open source data bases. This would allow for in-depth analysis and identification of intelligence aspects of the paranormal scientific field. The proposal also suggests requesting formal training and authorized access to the system for an individual assigned to Project CENTER LANE. The document is marked S/NOFORN, indicating it is not releasable to foreign nationals.

 Mr. McMoneagle/jjb/7829
 1.  (S/NOFORN)  CURRENT INTELLIGENCE SHORTFALL:  As a result of briefings detailing
 USAINSCOM involvement in the use of parapsychological collection during the past
 three years, numerous questions have been generated which fall into the following
 categories:
 a.  (S/NOFORN)  Paranormal or Psychic State-of-the-Art capabilities.
 b.  (S/NOFORN)  Training and/or methods of learning used in Paranormal activities.
 c.  (S/NOFORN)  Interest in the application of Paranormal Human Technique(s)
 other than Remote Viewing (RV).
 A clear and satisfactory answer to questions addressing these categories were only
 adequate as relates to INSCOM efforts within Project GRILL FLAME .
 Open source data, while available, has not been effectively pursued as regards domestic
 or foreign capabilities within the paranormal subjects arena.  As regards CI/OPSEC ?
 there has never been a formal Army effort to determine current U.S. vulnerability or
 establish foreign knowledgeability levels towards our own paranormal effort.
 2.  (S/NOFORN)  PROPOSAL:  With regard to the shortfalls above, propose that Project
 CENTER LANE, as a adjunct to current tasking, establish a program which will initiate
 extensive and detailed searches of automated open source data files in support of the
 following objectives:
 a.  (S/NOFORN)  Priority I - CI/OPSEC:  Investigate automated open source data
 files and develop leads which establish how much data is available through open sources
 which would indicate the degree of Army (specifically INSCOM) involvement or success
 in paranormal activities.  This would apply to both the R&D as well as practical
 applications which specifically center on Remote Viewing (RV).  As a result of such
 investigations, make specific recommendations for protecting present and future
 capabilities or successes.
 b.  (S/NOFORN)  Priority II - PARANORMAL STATE-OF-THE-ART:      Establish an accepted
 baseline for current state-of-the-art applicability of paranormal techniques for use
 in intelligence collection by both foreign or domestic services.  This will provide
 an accurate information base upon which acceptable military capability assessment
 could be made with regard towards threat or improved collection.

 subliminal manipulation, telepathy, early warning indications, psychokinesis, etc.

 SUBJECT: CI/OPSEC Proposal (U)
 4.  (S/NOFORN)  RECOMMENDED METHOD:  A protected IBM/Telecommunications terminal has been
 installed within ADCSOPS-HUMINT which provides direct access to hundreds of shared automated
 open source data bases.  Some of these data bases contain both foreign and domestic information
 as well as traceable references from one to the other.  Clear "lead" matrices can be
 established which will provide an in depth look at numerous intelligence aspects of the
 paranormal scientific field.  Just as an example:
 a.  (S/NOFORN)  Data base information could provide references to both the findings
 by a    ific scientist/investigator, as well as his opponents views regarding his research.
 This would aid in separating the good from the poor in determining information of
 intelligence value or specific foreign threat areas.
 b.  (S/NOFORN)  The number of references which are listed for each subject, as well
 as the number of others referenced by that author can be obtained.  Securing such
 specific articles with common identifiers/descriptors will permit tracing commonality
 of study between scientists, both foreign and domestic.  In some cases written articles
 are cross quoted, domestic to communist bloc origins which indicate places, people, and
 specific areas of communist interest. ,,~
 c.  (S/NOFORN)  Open source quotes common reference.will tie different descriptors
 and identifiers together for the same areas of study, but which are currently addressed
 using different terminology.  This will permit recognition of efforts within common areas,
 not readily obvious or already known.
 d.  (S/NOFORN)  Independent allied evaluations of Soviet/Communist Bloc efforts within
 paranormal research areas are available through these data basis.  These cannot be obtained i$
 any other way.
 e.  (S/NOFORN)  Techniques of training, research and development applicable Lo
 military intelligence collection would become available which would otherwise remain
 unknown or would only be found by chance.
 f.  (S/NOFORN)  Applications of other fields having a direct effect  on paranormal
 activity would become apparent even though they would normally have no commonality
 in interest; i.e., chemical engineering, physics engineer, etc.
 5.   (U) REQUIRED ACTION:  In support of the above:
 a.  (S/NOFORN)  Request an individual currently assigned to Project CENTER LANE be
 scheduled for formal training in the use of the IBM System now in use at ADCSOPS-HUMINT.
 b.  (S/NOFORN)  Request authorized access to the system on an as needed basis.
