Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300330001-8 LN734-85 composed of 9000 on or off switches. Half (4500) should be on, and half (4500) should be off. However, the results of the experiment showed that there were 115 more on switches. This seems to be a significant excess, especially since between experiments the on/off ratio was still half and half. This would look as if the cat were turning on the heat lamp. Because of the fear the cat had of the light of the lamp, it refused to have anything to do with the light again. Also, the weather warmed up, and the cat had no need for additional warmth. Later experiments did not show any additon on time. However, these five groups of experiments were so inspiring, that he decided to make some more PK experiments with animals. The same year, Schmidt was transferred to the parapsychology research lab in northern Colorado. He began using American crickets as the subjects of his experiments. He would place them in a small box where a random generator would produce a small current to make the cricket uncomfortable, to see if he could lower the number of charges. The results were surprising. The number of charges were not less than expected, they were higher than the odds of chance. After altering the experiment, the results were the same. There are two possible reasons for this. First, the cricket had never been subjected to an electrical shock before, and his response was unnatural. Second, because the animal was observed at all times throughout the experiment, perhaps it was the human response and not the cricket's. Nevertheless, the experiment did prove that there was something more than normal biological phenomena affecting the decay of the strontium 90 in the generator. That may have been PK.
