WHAT THEY DO

Nearly all of the S.R.F.’s work has been classified ultra-secret; only the short paper Clairvoyant Perception at Distance: Applications and Projected Uses (The Journal of Applied Intelligence, Mar 1958) remains extant.

Initially, so we have been led to believe, fear of public ridicule drove the S.R.F.’s research underground. However, by the mid 1960’s sufficient data had been generated to convince the S.R.F.’s sponsors that psychically-obtained results of genuine intelligence significance were occurring, albeit with tantalising irregularity. Yet still the work remained secret.

Throughout the next three decades, a raft of training techniques and courses were devised to further improve the performance of the S.R.F.’s small army of psychic test-subjects (the so-called ‘supernormals’). This ‘amplification’ resulted in several notable successes, including:

PROJECT OPAL-GREEN (c.1965-1971): Remote sensing of uranium 235 and other fissile material, found at otherwise inaccessible locations. Early subjects reported such material ‘glowed like kryptonite’ when viewed supernormally. Ludovico Evidence grows that PROJECT OPAL-GREEN was reactivated in 2002.

PROJECT STARSHOT (1971-1985): Focused projection of supernormal energy onto nominal ‘nodal’ points, each typically about 1700 k.m above the earth. Squads of supernormals generated a global grid of these points, which was then used for psi-pathic and empathic surveillance.

PROJECT BABYLON (1963-present day): Routine use of psychokinetics to adversely affect parapsychological studies conducted in universities and other public institutions. It is thanks to BABYLON that results in Parapsychology are rarely repeatable, thus further research in this security-sensitive area is discouraged. (One of the aims of the S.R.F. is to keep supernormal technology – now known to be effective and largely reliable – for itself.)

PROJECT CLIMB (1971-present day): Routine supernormal influence/control of well-known media scientists, manipulated at distance to be outspoken critics of psi-powers and Parapsychology. Not one of these apparent skeptics knows of or, indeed, suspects this dubious state of affairs, and all would deny it vociferously, if told. (Since its inception, PROJECT CLIMB has worked closely with PROJECT BABYLON.)

PROJECT ARIADNE’S THREAD (1963-1988 & 2001-2004): The mapping, through remote viewing, of sensitive installations and restricted sites. Select supernormal operatives can achieve resolutions of less than one half metre, given appropriate carto-psipathic training

PROJECT LOOKING GLASS (1999-present day): Psi-defensive technology developed to protect S.R.F. from outside supernormal surveillance. Also known as PROJECT MIRRORMIND.

BABEL PROJECT ZERO (2005-present day): A series of informal experiments conducted outside the auspices of the S.R.F. by Alex Ludovico and Richard Goodwin, which confirmed the presence of supernormal abilities in the general population. These brave experiments continue to this day.
