Janet Mitchell
Parapsychologist at the American Society for Psychical Research who, per the Society's own Summer 1972 newsletter, personally conducted the exploratory out-of-body sessions with Ingo Swann that made him the ASPR's principal test subject in 1971–72.
Matters to this vault as the contemporaneously-documented researcher who actually ran Swann's sessions, yet is absent from both Swann's and Puthoff's own accounts of the December 1971 "remote viewing" term-coining — while later secondary retellings insert her into that specific naming session on no located primary sourcing. That gap between her Tier-1-documented general role and her unsourced starring role in the origin story is a small live discrepancy in the cast of the remote-viewing priority dispute.
