Penetrating the Impenetrable 109“Of course, no matter how we felt about the results of thisinformal comparison, the final determination of the successor failure of the experiment was made on the basis of independentblind matching by a research analyst not otherwiseassociated with the research,” noted Puthoff. “As an addedprecaution, SRI management sometimes arranged for thosewho had been most skeptical to judge the results,” he added,“and often, much to their chagrin, their target matching generatedsome of the best statistical results we obtained.” 28One such skeptic was the CIA case officer for ProjectSCANATE. His experience was reported by author RonMcRae. According to McRae, he was able to interview the CIAofficial only on the condition that the official was not named.In both McRae’s and Puthoff’s accounts, the man was onlyidentified as “V1” for Visitor One.V1 arrived at SRI wanting “to see something psychic.”According to McRae:V1 agreed to be the viewer in a remote-viewing test.While Targ and he [V1] waited in a comfortable lounge,Puthoff went to a target site selected at random by a neutralparty. At the appointed time, V1 recorded his impressionson a cassette, describing a wooden walkwaywith a railing, and the ground falling away underneath.That description obviously matched the target, a footbridgeover a stream in nearby Burgess Park. 29But V1 was not convinced; perhaps Targ had somehowcued him subconsciously. So on a second test, V1 huddledwith the tape recorder in a corner by himself. He did evenbetter that time, correctly describing a TV transmission towerand an adjacent movie theater.
