@ -69,7 +69,7 @@ A separate undated memorandum for the record by an officer of the CIA's [[Office
SRI's report of October 1978, *Advanced Threat Technique Assessment*, covering April 18, 1977 to April 15, 1978 for the [[Defense Intelligence Agency]], describes a submersible experiment in July 1977 near [[Santa Catalina Island]] using the *Taurus*, a five-man vehicle made by International Hydrodynamics Company Ltd. of Canada and made available to SRI by [[Stephan Schwartz]] of the [[Philosophical Research Society]] of Los Angeles, who had arranged its use for an underwater archaeology experiment. Six messages were each assigned a Bay Area site; a team went to the site and stayed fifteen minutes while a subject aboard the submersible, "500 miles away," described the team's location and then chose the target from a list and noted the attached message. Four trials were planned. The first was aborted for failure to follow the dive schedule. In the second, on July 16, 1977, at 170 metres in 340 metres of water, the subject began, "A very tall looming object. A very, very huge tall tree and a lot of space behind them. There almost feels like there is a drop-off or a palisade or a cliff behind them"; the target was a giant oak on a hilltop in [[Portola Valley]] and the message "Rendezvous at Pickup Point Three" was correctly obtained. The third was aborted for lack of synchronization. In the fourth, with the submersible on the bottom in 78 metres, the subject described "flat stone flooring, walls, small pool, reddish stone walk, large doors," and the target was a shopping mall in [[Mountain View]]. The report does not name the subjects.[^12]
Schnabel identified the viewers as Hammid, in the first successful trial at "550 feet beneath the Pacific," and Ingo Swann in the second, with Hammid suffering from seasickness; that the experiments were conducted for the Air Force contract of [[Dale Graff]]; and that Schwartz, a former Navy officer, had persuaded the two to serve as his viewers in a search for undiscovered shipwrecks, finding "some debris that suggested they had hit the right wreck."[^13] [[Annie Jacobsen]], in *Phenomena*, wrote that Hammid and Swann each marked a single location on maps and that the submersible found an uncharted wreck, and that Hammid was sealed in the submersible at 500 feet, 375 miles from a target she had not been told about, with Puthoff and Dale Graff acting as the beacon, and chose from six sealed envelopes the photograph matching the target.[^14]
