When organising Project STARGATE, the people involved first looked to SRI International, where remote viewing had already been studied for nearly five years.
“The first place they looked, of course, was SRI-International, where remote viewing had already been studied for nearly five years, and comments relative to training and gifted versus non-gifted subjects could be found.”

According to Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ's report on SRI International's remote viewing research, persons with no previous exposure to remote viewing concepts, such as visiting government scientists and contract monitors, learned to perform well under the experimental procedure developed at SRI.
“The development at SRI of a successful experimental procedure to elicit this capability has evolved to the point where persons such as visiting government scientists and contract monitors, with no previous exposure to such concepts, have learned to perform well”

Joseph McMoneagle considers that "perform well" in Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ's SRI International report did not imply world-class remote viewing, but rather the ability to display psychic functioning under controlled conditions, achieving a better-than-chance result.
“What they actually mean here is the ability to display psychic functioning under controlled conditions (or achieving a better than chance result).”

Ingo Swann, one of the psychics working at SRI International, suggested using map coordinates to identify a specific location as a remote viewing target, giving rise to the coordinate targeting system.
“As I understand it, one of the psychics working at the lab, Ingo Swann, suggested the answer. They could use map coordinates to identify a specific location on the ground. Hence was born what is now known as the "coordinate system."”
