Semipalatinsk remote viewing

A June 1974 SRI/SCANATE coordinate remote-viewing operation. Given only map coordinates, viewer Pat Price reportedly described a Soviet weapons R&D site near Semipalatinsk (Kazakh SSR) - cranes, a large building, and a 'giant sphere.' Presented by SRI researcher Russell Targ as a striking operational success and used to rebut the 'memorized-the-globe' objection; the claimed accuracy is single-source/proponent-reported and disputed by mainstream science.

In the consciousness threadClassified 25 August 2026 from this entity's own role text, which reads: "A June 1974 SRI/SCANATE coordinate remote-viewing operation. Given only map coordinates, viewer Pat Price repor". An editorial classification, the same kind of field as cat - it rests on no page and does not claim to.

Notes on this record

The name

RENAMED 24 August 2026, operator decision. It read "Semipalatinsk remote viewing (1974)". The year came out of the name because no page this project holds dates the session: PDF 10 of cia-rdp96-00788r001100340001-3 is the only page in the corpus that names Semipalatinsk, URDF-3 or PNUTS, and it prints no date whatever. A date carried inside a name is read as established; this one is not.

The date

THE DATE IS NOT SOURCED TO A PAGE THIS PROJECT HOLDS. 1974-06-01 is retained so the node keeps its place on the timeline and in the SCANATE sequence, and it follows the published accounts of the Price session. The only held page that describes the session gives no date at all, and its own two references are dated 1975 and 1977. Treat the month as unsourced and the year as received rather than established.

The incident

The 1974 Semipalatinsk remote-viewing session.
