Project 8200: UFO/UAP Bases and Activities: The original Remote Viewing Transcripts

In 1973 Pat Price, a former police officer in Burbank, California, embarked on a “remote viewing” investigation of four underground UFO bases on his own, without a monitor or established protocols and while working for SRI International as a private contractor. When Price offered his self-engendered transcript to SRI personnel, they were greatly surprised as they had not tasked him with this “remote viewing” exercise.

Years later (when things had quieted down about this incident), the INSCOM Star Gate remote viewing unit at Fort Meade, Maryland, initiated a challenge target training program called Project 8200 regarding Pat Price’s investigation. Project 8200 was a dedicated attempt to evaluate the operational capabilities and limitations of remote viewing, identifying, and developing individual remote viewing skills, and testing and evalua- ting the accuracy of remote viewing on unique targets. Skip Atwater, the unit‘s Operations and Training Officer, used Price’s transcripts and information provided by Dr. Harold Puthoff, to put together targeting folders to use for this Star Gate challenge target training.

None of the results of Project 8200 training sessions were ever reported up the chain of command.


“The author is among the early voices advocating for remote viewing (RV). He is almost solely responsible for the establishment and continuation of an RV Intelligence Collection Capability in the Department of Defense. He had the foresight to take the work of Pat Price, a legendary remote viewer, and expand upon it, using assets available to him. He then documented and maintained that research until a time when it could be presented as a serious scientific endeavor. Ten years ago, this book would have been science fiction speculation. Today it is one more brick in the wall documenting a non-human presence on our planet.”
