Project 8200

Project 8200: UFO/UAP Bases and Activities

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), and Star Gate personnel were being trained at SRI International in Menlo Park, California, at Fort Meade, Maryland, and in New York with Ingo Swann, Dr. Puthoff revealed Price’s UFO/UAP isolated “remote viewing” activity to Skip Atwater and let him know he had made some hushed inquiries based on the information in Price’s transcript. The INSCOM Star Gate remote viewing unit at Fort Meade, Maryland, did initiate a challenge target training program called Project 8200 regarding Pat Price’s investigation of four underground UFO bases.

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 evaluating the accuracy of remote viewing on unique targets.  I 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.  

About the author:

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.

From the Foreword of the book:

I can attest to the solid protocols Skip used in working with us to execute these taskings. Today in the modern remote viewing community it seems almost as if everyone and their dog is inclined to “remote view aliens,” and they often (though not always) try it in a scientifically sloppy way that all but guarantees false-positives and questionable data. Skip, however, made sure we honored proper blinding protocols and other science-based requirements.

What this means, is that I am confident that the details and information I and my colleagues produced in our sessions weren’t “made up” by our conscious imaginations, and that we received no clues from Skip or from anyone or anywhere else that could have led us in certain directions. That’s not to say that I am sure that the findings presented here are “real.” They may be—I think some are. But that remains to be ascertained.

[…] Once I sat down and started going through the pages, though, I was startled to find that my sketches and description of objects I detected during my Mount Hayes session had surprising similarities to sketches of aerial craft that Price described around the mountain during his own remote viewings. What can we make of this? Maybe nothing definitive or conclusive yet. But it is at least a tantalizing bit of possible corroboration. In the Project 8200 sessions of the other four military viewers besides me there are similarities and comparisons—both among and between each of them, and also when set side-by-side with Price’s.

This book will appeal to a number of different groups. First will be those interested in the UAP (UFO) phenomenon, whether enthusiasts or those just mildly fascinated. Second will be those intrigued by remote vie­wing history and origins. A third group might be those considering doing remote viewing themselves, especially of anomalous happenings, such as UAP occurrences and the like. And, of course, there will be some who are just plain curious. Whatever your preference, Project 8200: UFO/UAP Bases and Activi­ties will be worth the time.

The Price data describe four locations which are presupposed to be UFO bases. The sites are highly protected from discovery, mutually supportive in purpose, and very high technology. The purposes of these bases include a monitoring function.

Project 8200 data appear to confirm the existence of four subterranean sites and several remote viewers detected extraterrestrial overtones. Project 8200 data describe these sites as protected from discovery, mutually supportive in purpose, and very high technology. Project 8200 data report the purpose of these sites as benign and involving precise observation, location, relay, and perhaps some navigational use.

These data also indicate that the sites may not always be occupied and may be connected in some way with an object in deep space.
One of the trained remote viewers reported that there were more of these bases, some on the sea bed.
