Hella Hammid
A photographer recruited by SRI as a 'control' subject with no claimed psychic gift, who became one of its most consistent viewers.

The account
Hammid was chosen to show whether ordinary people could remote-view. Her results were featured by Targ and Puthoff as evidence that the ability is widespread. A National Enquirer clipping kept in the CIA's Stargate files reports that in Project Deep Quest Hammid and Swann, working separately, marked sites a few hundred yards apart on a chart of about 1,500 square miles off Catalina Island, and that divers found a wreck and objects like their sketches. It is a tabloid account with quoted observers, not a research report.
The sceptical view
The same methodological criticisms of SRI's judging procedures apply to her trials.
