had been properly sequestered, Cox would use an electronic calculator with a random number feature to choose one of the target locations. Then he would go to the target location, usually with Hal Puthoff. |

Since I do not drive, I was almost always the one to stay with the remote-viewing subjects in their electrically shielded room and work with them to create a description of the location the travelers were visiting. I viewed myself as a kind of psychic travel agent, whose job it was to get the viewer to describe his mental picture of the place Puthoff and Cox were visiting. After the viewer had described the target and the travelers had returned, we would all go to the site together so that the viewer could learn which parts of his or her mental picture had accurately matched the target. In one of the formal studies, I sat with Price in a "Faraday cage" a small electrically shielded room covered with copper screen on the second floor of the SRI Radio Physics building, while Hal and Bart went to Bart's office on the ground floor. They chose a card from a target pool of which I had no knowledge. The target turned out to be a swimming pool complex at Rinconada Park in Palo Alto, about five miles from SRI. |

After the allotted thirty minutes had elapsed, I told Price the travelers had probably reached their destination. He polished his gold wire-rimmed glasses with a white linen handkerchief, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes. Price then proceeded to describe a circular pool of water about 100 feet in diameter. (The large pool at Rinconada Park is actually 110 feet in diameter.) He also saw a smaller, rectangular pool about 60 by 80 feet on a side. (This second pool happens to be 75 by 100 feet.) He went on to describe a concrete-block house, which was also part of the Rinconada Park swimming pool complex. |

Price's drawing of this site is shown in Figure 6. Its remarkable accuracy was one of the hallmarks of his work. However, this illustration also shows one of the problems that must sometimes be dealt with in remote viewing. Having described the physical aspects of the target site with great accuracy, Price then told me he thought the target was a water purification plant. He went on to draw some nonexistent water-storage tanks, and to put rotating machinery into his drawing of the pools. |
