In the DIA Briefing
A Defense Intelligence Agency briefing on Soviet psychoenergetics given to the Air Force in 1987 quoted "Yu. B. Kobzerev," "radar pioneer, member USSR Academy of Science": "I am persuaded that the phenomena demonstrated by N. Kulagina (psychokinesis), and by L. Korabelnikova (extrasensory perception), are by no means tricks but rather the existence of the manifestation of unusual capabilities in man. My conviction is shared by many people including a group of professors and academicians."2 See Ninel Kulagina, Vladimir Kotelnikov and Psychoenergetics.
