"[Eight-Martini Results](/concepts/eight-martini-results/)" is a term coined within the [CIA](/organizations/central-intelligence-agency/) to describe highly accurate and unsettling [psychic intelligence](/concepts/psi-int/) that is so inexplicable it drives intelligence officers to drink. The term implies that the information received through [Remote Viewing](/concepts/remote-viewing/) or other [psi](/concepts/psi/) means is so precise and unexpected that it challenges conventional understanding and can be deeply unsettling for those who receive it.[^1]

[Pat Price](/people/pat-price/)'s remote viewing of the Chinese Embassy in Africa, where he accurately described details that were known only to a few intelligence officers, was described as an "eight-martini evening" by [Nick Clancy](/people/nick-clancy/), a CIA officer. Similarly, [Joe McMoneagle](/people/joe-mcmoneagle/)'s accurate remote viewing of the Soviet Typhoon-class submarine was considered an "intelligence first" and an example of an eight-martini result for the [U.S. Army](/organizations/us-army/)'s [Grill Flame](/programs/stargate-project/) unit.[^1]
