 Pat Price was a retired police commissioner from Burbank, California, who joined the [[Stanford Research Institute]] (SRI) remote viewing program in 1973. He was a graying, semi-retired, somewhat grizzled-looking fellow in his fifties who lived at Lake Tahoe. He had a small building-contractor business and also raised Christmas trees to sell in the Bay Area. He met [[Hal Puthoff]] at a lecture and later while selling Christmas trees in Mountain View. Price considered himself a psychic, claiming to have developed important leads on difficult cases during his time as a police commissioner in Burbank, thanks to spontaneously received information. He would even sit in the police dispatcher's office, trying to get psychic impressions of criminals' hiding places.[^1]
 
 Price had a long history of psychic experiences, including using his abilities to help solve difficult cases when he was a police commissioner. He claimed to have psychic impressions about people and distant events almost every day. He also claimed the ancient shamanic power of being able to change the weather, creating or evaporating clouds at will, and believed he could make traffic lights change through psychokinesis. He also believed that his soul had once belonged to the American colonial orator Patrick Henry. He also believed that an alien civilization flew its silvery saucers into bases on the moon and Mars, and also here on Earth, under the oceans and beneath great mountains, including one under Mount Hayes in Alaska.[^1]
