Semipalatinsk remote viewing (1974)

1974

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.
