Open AI Summary

This document is a session summary from Project 8712 of the Stargate program. The session took place on September 11, 1987, and the viewer attempted to predict whether there would be attacks on U.S. flagged ships in the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf during the month of September. The viewer initially declared that there would be no attacks and then located themselves in the Persian Gulf, perceiving a U.S. flagged ship facing north/south and having a problem near the coast. However, when re-tasked, the viewer did not receive any information about a U.S. ship in trouble. The viewer then cued themselves with a different tasking cue and perceived the same ship with something wrong at the northern end facing away from land. The session did not include a specific date of occurrence. Finally, the viewer used a pendulum exercise to test the veracity of each element of their perceptions with mixed results. The session ended without a retention.

 2.    (S-SS)   At-the start of this session,  I tried to rid myself
 of           the feeling that there will  be no attacks on U. S.  flagged
 ships in the (3ui f  of    Hormuz  or the Persian Gulf dur i nc  the month
 of    September, by declaring it as both A.V.  and AOL.
 3.    (S-SS)   Having done this,    I  located myself on the Persian
 Gulf,  and looked for      s   flagged ship,  having a problem.
 Perceptions were:
 There was'  U.S.lagged ship having problems which was
 located near       land,  the coast being in a north/south
 'direction at that point       (see sketch,  bottom,  P'.1)
 b.  The ship,  itself  is facing  in a north/south direction at
 the time of    the problem.
 4.   (S-SS)    As a double check on this information,       I  then
 retasked myself with        "U.S. ship having trouble in the Persian
 Gulf",   and got nothing.
 5.   (S-SS)    It dawned on me that I-had just given myself two
 different tasking cues,        so I  again cued myself  with
 4 0-ceptions ed shi   havi. nc. trouble i n t.h?  Persian Gulf ". received  were:
 a4  Ship facing in a north/south direction.
 V   Something wrong         (NMI)  FWc h on one end.
 c;  The end with  "something wrong"               is the northern end of  the
 ship,  facing away ?Frorn land.
 d fi Feeling that this is the same ship as perceived above.
 6.     (_..SS)   It did not occur to me during the sess,~ on to draw a
 t i mel . nes,  and check for a specific date of occurr4 `nee.
