Who they are
Russell Targ (born 1934), an American laser physicist who had a career at NASA Ames.
What they do
The engine treats him as a credentialed scientist operating inside a real government psychic-research program.
How it works
In 1972 he co-founded the SRI remote-viewing program with Hal Puthoff, and after the government's Stargate program ended he continued parapsychology research, publishing and staying connected to institutions like IONS.
Why it matters
He is a case of a legitimately credentialed physicist lending scientific weight to government paranormal research.
