Pat Price

Pat Price was an American who took part as a psychic subject in the remote viewing research at Stanford Research Institute led by Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff. He had no military or intelligence background.

In 1974, according to CIA officer Kenneth Kress, Price was given only map coordinates of a Soviet research facility and asked to describe it. He drew a large gantry crane that analysts found strikingly similar to one at the site. Kress also recorded that most of Price's data were wrong or could not be evaluated, and that when told of missing structures Price said they were no longer there. Kress saw two possibilities: that Price really perceived the site, or that someone who knew the answer had informed him.

Price died of a heart attack in 1975. Kress wrote that the CIA's intelligence collection tests stopped after his death. Supporters of remote viewing regard him as its most gifted subject; critics see the case as an example of selective scoring.
