Approved For Release 20087 NELASSTFIED * qu) Invitees to the Institute were Dr, Krippner, tour leader; Dr, H. E, Puthoff, and Ms, B, H, Humphrey, researchers at SRI International; Mrs. Thelma Moss, who had done research in Kirlian (corona discharge) photography; and K, Zirinsky, MD, radiologist. (U) The group was welcomed to the Institute in an opening meeting by Institute Deputy Directors Ho Lung and Li Yi, They expressed the opinion that EHBF work was important and relevant to physics, and indicated that a small group of researchers, led by Zhao Yun-Je and Hsu Hung-Chang ,* spent approximately ten percent of their professional time researching EHBF, This was followed by a seminar in which the work and its results were presented by Zhao. (U) Their basic experiment, apparently replicated many times under widely varying conditions, consisted of the remote viewing of Chinese characters or numbers sealed in an opaque bakelite container, inside of which was also some form of detector to register possible physical effects corollary to the perceptions. The detectors used in this format included X-ray, nuclear emulsion, and photographic films, photoelectric tubes, thermoluminescence dosimeters, and biological (plant/polygraph) detectors. The claim made (backed up by raw data materials shown the visiting re- searchers, published pictures, and, later in the trip, motion picture film of the experiments) was that physical effects were registered during perception, and absent in the absence of perception, These included fogging of the films, and pulses on the electrical output devices of the various detectors, A summary paper describing these experiments was pro- vided the visitors; it has been translated'® and is provided here as Appendix A. * (U) Xu Hongzhang in Pinyin transcription, 9 Approved For Release 200d CLASSI EHER o0100320001-8
