Fort Meade

Ft. Meade

[The two buildings which housed the remote-viewing unit]

Headquarters of the National Security Agency, and houses facilities for FEMA. For an extended description of the base, see chapter three of James Bamford's The Puzzle Palace, Penguin Books, 1982.

Hal Puthoff worked there with the NSA during his service in the Army or as a civilian.


Home to the first remote-viewing operational units, called DT-S, codenamed: Grill Flame (1978-83), Center Lane(1983-6), and possibly Sun Streak.

These units were managed by the Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), and overseen by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).

These operational units supposedly provided intelligence for actual military operations, first for just the Department of Defense, but later for the entire intelligence community. They complimented research done at SRI, and were supported by a medical unit that monitored the viewers' health. A seperate unit kept track of Soviet research.

The program started under Ed Thompson, and screened applicants for previous paranormal experiences.
