I was a bit disappointed with how the target of the Airl project was worded. Farsight looked for Airl as if the being exists, and they saw her like the book described her. This can mean two things:

1. Airl is real, or
2. the viewer can perceive fiction as if it's real.

I would like to see the remote viewers at Farsight, who are the best on the planet, to look into a fictional target, so we can compare the collected data with targets that exist in reality.

For example, view Frodo when he's throwing the ring into the fires of Mount Doom, or Neo when he's flying through a city inside the Matrix.

What will the viewers see? Will they see nothing? Will they see the story like a movie and feel that it's not real? Or will they see it as if it's real?

Lots of RVers have done fictional targets, the results tend either show the person who thought up the fiction or a "dead image" not a real life interactive thing. It's a long solved question.

Typically these get called "masks" or screen images when deployed against a viewer on purpose.

The farsight remote viewers have to deal with this constantly - I don't know if they've asked it but you should probably ask Aziz or Intysam whenever they're up to bat again. ETs constantly put up masks and screen images to deter viewing. I'm pretty Courtney Brown has had them remote view things like comic strips as tests.

The FFG viewers did their civil war target as a mask - I don't any of the viewers specifically mentioned it was a mask but they may not have been looking for them. Some of Daz Smith's tasking redirects people - I can't remember exactly how he worded the target but it redirected people to a picture of a buddha in his back yard if it was fake, otherwise the real target if it was real as an experiment on a woo target.

From my own experience (I'm a nobody without a public track record) masks aren't as interactive and tend to fall away with repeated probing from a high energy state. Like most things in remote viewing, it's a function of consciousness and perception. If it was impossible to tell the difference literally would get done as human viewers because aliens would constantly put up screens with no failure rate.
