Hella Hammid

1974-01-01year known, day not recorded

Photographer recruited by SRI in the 1970s as a supposedly non-psychic 'control' remote viewer - who then produced results Puthoff and Targ rated as consistently accurate across many trials. Cited by Targ as evidence that remote viewing is a broadly distributed human ability rather than a rare gift. (SRI-side account; the underlying psi claims are disputed by mainstream science.)

In the consciousness threadClassified 25 August 2026 from this entity's own role text, which reads: "pher recruited by SRI in the 1970s as a supposedly non-psychic 'control' remote viewer - who then produced results Puthoff and". An editorial classification, the same kind of field as cat - it rests on no page and does not claim to.

gifted 'control' remote viewer in the SRI experiments
the Extended Remote Viewing technique is named for her in the programme's own evaluation forms
The map called her a "control" viewer. The SUN STREAK evaluation form does something else entirely: it defines its technique codes as "ERV indicates the Extended Remote Viewing technique, (Hella Hammid; CRV indicates the Coordinate Remote Viewing technique (Ingo Swann)". She is not a control in that document - she is the name on a method.
