As the fol­low­ing arti­cle explains the Pat Rice Remote View­ing exper­i­ments of 1974 are sur­rounded in a huge wave of con­tro­versy that still to this day hasn’t subsided.

Accord­ing to the CIA and the mil­i­tary it proved to be a resound­ing fail­ure, how­ever this neglected some quite aston­ish­ing occur­rences involv­ing Pat’s Remote View­ing skills.

The whole truth has never been uncov­ered as well, due to the untimely nature of Pat Price’s death in 1975.

In 1977 the Chicago Tri­bune reported that:

“CIA Direc­tor Stans­field Turner has dis­closed that the agency found a man who could “see” what was going on any­where in the world through his psy­chic pow­ers. Sci­en­tists and offi­cials would show the man a pic­ture of a place and he would then describe any activ­ity going on there at that time.”

The tight-lipped CIA chief wouldn’t reveal how accu­rate the man was, but said the agency dropped the project in 1975. “He died,” Turner said, “and we haven’t heard from him since.”

Remote view­ing — The exper­i­ment that was too successful

Remote view­ing exper­i­ments (the respectable mod­ern way of describ­ing second-sight or clair­voy­ance) by the US intel­li­gence ser­vices has been the sub­ject of much spec­u­la­tion but con­crete facts have been thin on the ground. Now, a detailed account of one remote view­ing exper­i­ment, con­ducted by Drs. Hal Puthoff and Rus­sell Targ at Stan­ford Research Insti­tute in 1974, has been recently declas­si­fied and released in sani­tised form on the National Secu­rity Agency web­site. (Click Here to view).  The report makes inter­est­ing read­ing for sev­eral rea­sons; first because it is so detailed and sec­ond because its CIA author judged the exper­i­ment to be unsuc­cess­ful from a mil­i­tary stand­point. Yet in real­ity, the exper­i­ment was, if any­thing, too suc­cess­ful for com­fort and pro­voked a panic reac­tion from the mil­i­tary authorities.

In the exper­i­ment, the sub­ject (known only as SG1J but actu­ally Pat Price, a retired police com­mis­sioner) was informed of the exis­tence of a top secret Soviet mil­i­tary base at a place called Semi­palatinsk “25 to 30 miles south west of the Irtysh River” in Siberia. It is incon­ceiv­able that the sub­ject could have had any knowl­edge of such a secret instal­la­tion by nor­mal means and he was given only its map coor­di­nates.  Not only was it one of the Soviet Union’s most secret nuclear weapons cen­tres, but it was also phys­i­cally very remote, and some 10,000 miles away from the site of the experiments.

Over three days, Price was asked to describe fea­tures of the Russ­ian base by para­nor­mal means in a num­ber of remote view­ing ses­sions. In sev­eral impor­tant respects, the exper­i­ment was con­sid­ered a fail­ure by the mil­i­tary offi­cer tasked with ana­lyz­ing the results. Price failed to draw the perime­ter of the site even though he was asked twice. When pressed for details he made remarks like, ‘I’ll come back to that’, but sel­dom did. And when pressed fur­ther for con­crete spe­cific facts, he did what many ‘psy­chics’ do — he pro­duced a stream of spe­cific facts that proved to be incor­rect.  He thought, for exam­ple, that the site was con­nected with the Soviet space pro­gram and ‘saw’ cos­mo­nauts in space suits when it is in fact a purely mil­i­tary weapons installation.

How­ever, Price made one state­ment that proved to be aston­ish­ingly accu­rate. He said that he could see a mobile gantry crane built on a huge scale — its wheels taller than a man. The crane he said was 150 feet tall and its railed tracks 50 feet apart. He also said this crane ran on tracks over an under­ground build­ing and made a num­ber of detailed sketches, almost of engi­neer­ing draw­ing quality.

In his analy­sis, the anony­mous eval­u­at­ing offi­cer wrote, ‘[Price] sup­plied the most pos­i­tive evi­dence yet for remote view­ing with his sketch of the rail-mounted gantry crane. It seems incon­ceiv­able to imag­ine how he could draw such a like­ness to the actual crane at [Semi­palatinsk] unless:

1) He actu­ally saw it through remote view­ing, or  2) he was informed of what to draw by some­one knowl­edge­able of [the site].‘

The ana­lyst con­tin­ued, ‘I only men­tion this sec­ond pos­si­bil­ity because the exper­i­ment was not con­trolled to dis­count the pos­si­bil­ity that [Price] could talk to other peo­ple — such as the dis­in­for­ma­tion Sec­tion of the KGB. That may sound ridicu­lous to the reader, but I have to con­sider all pos­si­bil­i­ties in the spec­trum from his being capa­ble to view remotely to his being sup­plied data for dis­in­for­ma­tion pur­poses by the KGB.‘

In his final, over­all report on the exper­i­ments, the offi­cer had, for rea­sons not fully explained, become much more skep­ti­cal. He says, quite baldly, ‘The remote view­ing exper­i­ment of [Semi­palatinsk] by [Price] proved to be unsuccessful.‘

In real­ity, the exper­i­ment was too suc­cess­ful, as one of the exper­i­menters, Dr. Rus­sell Targ, has sub­se­quently revealed on his web­site (Click Here).  Says Targ, ‘This trial was such a stun­ning suc­cess that we were forced to undergo a for­mal Con­gres­sional inves­ti­ga­tion to deter­mine if there had been a breach in National Secu­rity. Of course, none was ever found, and we were sup­ported by the gov­ern­ment for another fif­teen years. As I sat with Price in these exper­i­ments at SRI, he made the sketch shown, to illus­trate his men­tal impres­sions of a giant gantry crane that he psy­chi­cally “saw” rolling back and forth over a build­ing at the tar­get site!’

The Price exper­i­ment is not con­clu­sive evi­dence of remote view­ing. But it does rep­re­sent a remark­able con­trolled exper­i­ment that deserves to be taken seri­ously sci­en­tif­i­cally. The huge gantry crane at the tar­get site was pur­pose built and thus a rare fea­ture any­where — indeed a fea­ture that the over­whelm­ing major­ity of peo­ple have never seen. That Price’s iden­ti­fi­ca­tion should be  merely a guess thus has a very low prob­a­bil­ity and, as an expla­na­tion, is lack­ing in credibility.
