Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CO BCR ET72R000600510001-7 (S/NF) DOD PSYCHOENERGETICS PROGRAM--REPLICATION STUDIES (S) A. DoD Psychoenergetics Program (S) (S/NF) Major DoD/Intelligence Community interest in assessing the potential of psychoenergetics (ESP) for military/intelligence applications began a little over a decade ago (1972), and has involved a number of agencies and military units as sponsors. The effort was compartmentalized under the code word "GRILL FLAME" in 1978, and in 1981 the various efforts were brought together under single-agency management and coordination (DIA). (S/NF) The program has involved SRI International as prime contractor, a number of institutes and consultants as subcontractors (e.g., Langley- Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute, University of California; Communications Studies Laboratory, Syracuse University), and has been subject to review by an independent Psychoenergetics Science Advisory Panel composed of Dr. Donald Kerr, Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory; Prof. Fred Zacharaison, Physics Department, California Institute of Technology; and Dr. Ross Adey, V. A. Research Center, Loma Linda, California. B. Areas of Investigation (S)_ (S/NF) Two primary areas of investigation are being pursued in the DoD Psychoenergetics Program. They are: (1) Remote Viewing (RV)/Extrasensory Perception (ESP). Ability of an individual to access and describe remote geographic sites, or to access and describe concealed data, via undefined transmission mechanisms. Examples include the (mental) viewing of a distant military site or the contents of a secure room. (2) Remote Action (RA/Psychokinesis (PK). Mental ability to influence physical or biological systems without the use of known physical mechanisms. Examples include perturbation of electronic components or living organisms, such as the behavior of a micro- chip or the growth of a bacterial culture, by a (mental) effort of the will.
