If that doesn't squelch the experiment, then it is merely declared ridiculous and laughed out of Sciencetown. Is not a psychic mind trip to Jupiter laughable? My colleagues at SRI were, to put it mildly, not interested in being laughed out of town. But I had become quite gloomy since failure-by boredom was just ahead. So I had a choice of (1) being laughed out of town, or (2) boredom which clearly could flat-line ESP faculties- The resistance to the Jupiter "probe" was overcome when I said "I quit, and you can return what's left of the money to the funding clients." In any event, I felt it would be interesting to see if the remote-viewing data acquired in April, 1973, might somewhat match the data later revealed by NASA's craft beginning in September, 1973. The thrill of the idea was to get psychically to Jupiter before the NASA vehicles did. If this worked even somewhat, it was a kind of psychic one-upsmanship. The experiment was done on personal time, on a Saturday, a non-working dayBut it was wrapped in very stringent protocols. At first, the very-long-distance (VLD) experiment was not to be an official one. But the remote-viewing raw data had to be recorded somehow, so that it could be established that it existed prior to the NASA vehicles getting to the planet, So, at the conclusion of the experiment, copies of the raw data were circulated far and wide, offered to and accepted by many respected scientists in the Silicon Valley area, including two at Jet Propulsion Laboratories. Some scientists, of course, thought the entire idea ridiculous, but these were fewer than one might expect. For the experiment to be considered successful in any way, the remote viewing data had to include impressions of factors that were not known about the great planet - lest one be accused of reading up beforehand. As to the raw data itself, this ended up consisting of one page of sketches/ and two and a half pages of verbal observations. The raw data yielded thirteen factors, and only thirteen, all of which were scientifically unanticipated before they were confirmed by later analysis of the scientific data. These raw data factors are enumerated below, accompanied by the dates they were confirmed. 1. The existence of a hydrogen mantle: Confirmed September 1973, again in 1975. 2. Storms, wind: Confirmed 1976 as to dimensions and unexpected intensities. 3. Something like a tornado: Confirmed 1976 as strong rotating cyclones. 4. High infrared reading: Confirmed 1974. 5. Temperature inversion: Confirmed 1975. 6. Cloud color and configuration: Confirmed 1979. 7. Dominant orange color: Confirmed 1979.
