Open AI Summary

This document is a referral review by NIMA/DoD regarding a training session for the Project Sun Steak, part of the Stargate program. The document outlines the protocols for the session, including instructions for the outbound team (OBT) and the inbound team (IBT). The OBT is given a sealed envelope with the target inside and instructed not to open it until they have left the unit's viewing area. They are then to go directly to the target area and perform certain actions associated with the functions of the target. After a mandatory visit to the site, they are to return to the unit area without discussing the mission. The document also discusses the evaluation process for the mission and provides a scale for target/data correspondence. The session results of this particular mission are described, including accurate descriptions of the main lobby and video game room in the Fort Meade PX, as well as the colors and objects within the room. There is also a mention of a "created future" or anomaly during the session when a "young girl dressed in purple" is referenced. Overall, the mission is deemed highly successful in terms of communication skills between the interviewer and the source.

 MISSION EVALUATION: -11~
 ---------------------- -
 1.   (C/NF/SK)   PROTOCOLS:
 a.   The Remote Viewer was introduced to the outbound Team (OBT) at 0CW0
 hours,                           .   Following this "warm-up meeting both the OBT and
 the Inbbund Team  IBT) were restricted to the area of the unit operational facility
 with orders not to discuss the particulars of the upcoming mission.  During
 this "restricted." period neither the OBT nor the IBT were permitted to make or
 receive outside telephone calls or to meet with other members of the unit.   The
 OBT was reindoctrinated on the need to maintain the integrity of this mission
 by not varying the purpose of the trip to the site to tend to personal needs,
 e.g., errands, refreshments, etc.
 b.  At        Q ?1~ p        hours, the actual target,  (sealed within an envelope)
 was provided to the OBT at which time. they were permitted to depart the area
 enroute to the target.   Their verbal tasking was as follows:
 (1)  Do not unseal the envelope until you have moved out of the
 immediate viewing area of.the unit.
 (2)  Go directly to the target area and remain in the general area
 (by driving around the block if necessary) until exactly     jO V O            hours.
 (3)  At   F              hours, position yourself at the targe4 area and
 perform any actions normally associated with the functions of the target, e.g.,
 bowl at a bowling alley, purchase refreshments at a snack bar, etc.

 (4) Remain on site for a minimum of fifteen minutes or longer but only
 if a longer period of time is required to finish a function of the building
 such as finishing a cup of coffee or similar purchase, etc.
 (5)   Following this fifteen minute mandatory visit to the site, return
 immediately to the unit area.
 (6) After arriving in the unit area,  the OBT is not to discuss the
 target or events that occurred at the site with anyone in the unit.   When the
 IBT has finished the post-session phase of the mission (sketches, summaries, etc.)
 the OBT and the IBT will proceed back to the target area, still without comments
 pertaining to the actual mission.
 (7)   At the target site, the OBT will retrace their movements at the
 target whij,e being followed by the IBT.  When the target (or specific items at the
 target) are recognized by the Remote Viewer, he/she will so state with a brief
 explanation or reference to the data collection phase, if necessary.
 (8)   Following this second visit, both the IBT and the OBT will return
 to the unit area at which time the OBT will be released and a general feedback
 session will be provided to the Remote Viewer.
 c.   The Interviewer will be responsible- for collating the data obtained
 from the entire session,  (session information, post-session interview and on site
 visit), and from the data an overall evaluation will be given pertaining to
 the success of this mission based upon the relevence of the material provided
 and later substantiated.   The guidelines for this evaluation will be on a 0-7
 point scale of target/data correspondence.   This scale is as follow:
 7 = Excellent correspondence, including good analytical detail (e.g.,
 naming the site by name).
 6 = Good correspondence with good analytical information (e.g., naming
 the function), and with essentially no incorrect information.
 5 = Good correspondence with unambiguous unique matchable elements and
 little incorrect information.
 4 = Good correspondence with several machable elements, but some incorrect
 information.
 3 = Mixture of correct and incorrect elements, but enough of the former
 to indicate viewer has made contact with the site.
 2 = Some correct elements, but not sufficient to suggest results beyond
 chance expectation.
 I = Little  correspondence.
 0 = No correspondence.
 In addition to the numeric scale of evaluation, the Interviewer may opt to
 provided other comments on the target/session correspondence as necessary in
 narrative form.  All of this material is then provided to the Remote Viewer for
 future references and/or discussions with the Interviewer since the material in
 these reports will be used as the basis for additional skills training, if required.

 2.   (                 )   SESSION RESULTS:
 a.   (               )  Source quickly attained an altered state of consciousness.
 There were no known external environmental or personal inclemencies which may
 have impacted on the data obtained curing this session.
 b.   (            )  Source accurately described an "open area yet sheltered"
 during the session.  This area, as confirmed by the follow-up walk through is the
 main lobby of the Ft Meade, PX near the snack bar portion.  The actual target is
 an enclosed videw game room (sheltered) next to the snack bar area.  Throughout
 the session Source had frequent impressions of "McDonalds" (hamburger stand) which
 can be.attributed to the smells and general activity associated with the adjacent
 snack bar.
 c.   (                )  Within the game room Source accurately described the
 machine(s).as "dark, sloping, with a klinka klinka sound.  The dark thing
 is big and appears hunched over with a funny shape."  This closely coincides with
 the description of anormal video game machine.  Later Source referenced a large
 catapillar on its back with its legs sticking up in the air.    At the site Source
 stated that he recognized the "dark sloping things" as the curving profile of the
 video machines.  The "catepillar legs" were recognized to be the rows of control
 handles on the video machines used to play the game.
 d.   (                )   Source identified the color of reddish brown in conjunction
 with the triangular and squared,items.  This description closely resembled the
 rows of reddish brown booths for the use of snack bar patrons.  The reddish brown
 naugehyde is stitched into triangular patterns.  The "square" reference may have
 been the tables.
 e.   (            )   Source referenced a "young girl dressed in purple, " at the
 site.  The OBT could not recall observing or noticing anyone matching this reference.
 Ironically, however, diring the follow-up site visit a women in bright purple and
 lavender tights and sweaters was seen standing at the snack bar.  This may have
 been an example of a "created future" or simply an anomaly of the Remote Viewing
 procedure.  In other words, the Source, while on target, may have slipped
 momentarily into a future universe in which the "girl in purple" was present--
 the moment when we were conducting the follow-up visit.  A simpler, less
 exotic answer may lie in the fact that the Source does not, hopefully, see the
 target through the eges of the OBT but rather through his own perspective.
 Therefore because the OBT did not see the lady in purple does not preclude the
 Source from spotting her on his own.
 f.   (           )  This was a highly successful mission in which both the
 interviewer as well as the S9urce were able to build on mutually shared
 commuhication skills.
