THIS IS A TECHNOLOGY REMOTE VIEWING EXPERIMENT. SERRY IS THE REMOTE VIEWING
SUBJECT; HAL PUTHOFF IS THE MONITOR; ON THE OUTBOUND SIDE IS RUSSELL TARG
AND KEN. THE EXPERIMENT WILL START AT 10:45AM.
THEY'RE NOW AT THEIR' LOCATION; THE TIME IS 10:47 AM.
The first image I got--there were two images more or less overlayed--one was
something roughly in the shape of a--it's a vertical shape with a ball sort of
at the top of it. Almost looks like a tee, a golfing tee, but with the concave
top filled out and a mound, a heap, at the top.
Andithen at the same time associated with that perhaps, an:image that looks
something like I would imagine a side, sort of a- cross Section, would look
like of a screw head, that is, a mound like figure with a sharp depression
in the center of it.
That is perpendicular to the two perpendicular wails and then a flat surface
atthebottom, so that if you hada screw head that was,convex and you Were
looking.at it from the side.
WAS THERE A COLOR OR OBVIOUS MATERIALS?
No, and I'm not sure that this may be another I'm attributing more to
it.. there was a metallic feel at least to the cross sectional thing. The
other had roughly, since it had roughly the appearance of an ornamental tree
in its general outline? I guess I attributed more perhaps softer perhaps
wooden, and from that then perhaps the association of its being green, but
I didn't see a green color. In fact, I'm seeing this really only in lights
and darks.
This is very vague, and I...I just got a fleeting image of something like an
anvil-like shape. I don't want to.. .1 could speculate that it might be a vise,
but I'm not sure of that at all.
Anvil-like is about the best I could say.
I seem to get the impression of a darkish room, a room not necessarily in
darkness, but dark with respect to the...I get the impression of a window.
rather square, perhaps light, but it's almost impossible to get any sense
of proportion with respect to size.
There may be lights on in the room, but if there are, it seems to me that
the dominant light source is bright sunlight through a window.
I just tried, perhaps unwisely, to conjure up an image of two of them, and I
don't see them at all. I have no impression of their presence or what they're
doing.
I guess from that I might get the feeling that they're not doing anything, but
they're rather simply standing, looking around in a room. That they're not
interacting with anything. But that's only, again,....

ANYTHING SORT OF UNUSUAL OR SURPRISING?
No... I have the feeling rather that. ..almost as though there was something
silhouetted against the window, and I'm not sure that what I'm conjuring with
is perhaps the sill, the bottom sill of the window or whether it's sort of
a waist-high working surface, perhaps between then and the window, on which
there is an object. Again, a mounded sort of a hemispherical object.
Again, that's all shifting. None of these things stay in focus.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE MOST PREDOMINANT THING?
The most predominant thing so far would seem to be the external light source,
a window. At least that's what keeps on coming back.
And something going across the window, maybe something like a sash, but again
this feeling of a desk or a working surface with a lip and edge to it, an
overhang to it.
I'm getting no colors whatsoever, and I get the feeling that it's monochromatic
but that doesn't make sense in the real world. I can't think of anything that
that would represent, oranykind of a room or installation that that would
logically be associated with.
I'm trying not to draw conclusions about it or extrapolate from what I'm...
images I'm getting.
Now I get a subdued impression of an orange-like color. It may only be from
dv'pressure on my eyelids though.. But an orange-like object which seems at
the moment to be sort of a spoon-shaped object, might have been a lever or a
button that you push or turn twist from one side to the other.that was on the
diagonal.. .horizontal or vertical.
ARE THEY INTERACTING WITH IT?
No...I'm not sure what I would expect them to experience if they were, and I
don't get sharp, any images at. all of them, other than a one if I try
to remember what they look like, but I have a feeling that they aren't doing
anything.
I would
On the other hand, I say I don't know what/experience or expect to experience
if they were doing something. I would see movement to the images, but that
would be hard because the images themselves are so transient that...
I THINK THEY'RE RETURNING. COULD YOU... OK, BEFORE YOU COME IN I'D LIKE YOU
TO DRAW...
The first thing I was seeing was something like this.
And the other was....
IS THIS THE THING THAT'S SORT OF LIKE AN ANVIL?
No... that was the first image, and this is the second. The anvil was more like
this... .1 feel I had something that might have been shaped like this.

And then there was this predominant light source which might have been a window,
and a working surface which might have been the sill to the Window or a_
working surface of a table or a desk which at one angle looked somettling
like this, as though there was an overhang to it.
But then I also saw against this working surface a mound which may or may not
have been similar to that or related to it, and this would have been the fourth
image and the predominant one, and this would have been the fifth image, not
so predominant.
And juxtaposition And then this theme seems to repeat
itself because I got the orange, shaped thing something like that at that kind
of a slant. It might have been a lever or pulley or something like that?
,
WHY DON'T YOU WRITE ORANGE THERE.
But predominantly a monochromatic whites and blacks, with the subdued twilight
material.
These were, I think., genuinely spontaneous images, unrelated to any cognitive
proCess-.
And no perceived purpose of interaction.
That's, about it.
