STRUCTURE OF EXPERIMENT

Description of a Find.
If a victim was located the scanners in the helicopter would shine a highly visible light on the victim. When the victim was absolutely certain he/she had been found (occasionally victims were about 100 yards apart), that victim would don a bright orange vest, which, until then, had been kept concealed. The crew would then disregard anyone in an orange vest and continue searching.

At the conclusion of each experiment both the crew and the victims were debriefed.
