Remote Viewing at Stanford Research Institute in the 1970s: A Memoir
Russell Targ, Bay Research Institute, 1010 Harriet Street, Palo Alto,
CA 94301
Hundreds of remote viewing experiments were carried out at Stanford
Research Institute (SRI) from 1972 to 1986. The purpose of some of these
trials was to elucidate the physical and psychological properties of
psi abilities, while others were conducted to provide information for
our CIA sponsor about current events in far off places. We learned that
the accuracy and reliability of remote viewing was not in any way affected
by distance, size, or electromagnetic shielding, and we discovered that
the more exciting or demanding the task, the more likely we were to
be successful. Above all, we became utterly convinced of the reality
of psi abilities. This article focuses on two outstanding examples:
One is an exceptional, map-like drawing of a Palo Alto swimming pool
complex, and the other is an architecturally accurate drawing of a gantry
crane located at a Soviet weapons laboratory, and verified by satellite
photography. The percipient for both of these experiments was Pat Price,
a retired police commissioner who was one of the most outstanding remote
viewers to walk through the doors of SRI.
