forming arches (mumbling) in the background behind him
is like a long column (mumbling) long hall. . .the exit
at other end is rather massive... where I..peaked cap on
it...(mumbling) I feel height...high ceiling place.

pants, no shoes, I don't think... standing on a winged
formation.. .a wing..uh..some (mumbling) each other..

#66 Is it familiar to you because you viewed it before?
Yes. This is..uh.... hallway out-is-familiar-the
only. difference is that the arches and colonade...
appeared longer and narrower than before. But, I am
very sure that it is..uh..a place I've been .....Let

?1/66. Are you ready to draw those impressions?
/k24.5 Yes. First impression I got in the session. I had
the feeling I was looking down in the roof of the
building. I didn't get a chance to say this because
I was still acquiring the target, but, I had this
.feeling that I was looking down on a...well I did
say, as a matter of fact. I said that earlier I really
A ...a funny shaped roof, very curved. It was black,
fi and I was looking down the roof of this building, and
from what I could see where I was, I was right over the
building, or maybe I was behind it, but, from what I
could see there was a flat roof protruding from each
side. Like this. This might go back. I don't know.
These Were flat roofs here, on each side of this peaked
center thing. It was a big structure. This is all
I saw of it. It was a black roof. It was like black
tile ,,~omthng. It had this sin'Fieant curve down
e center line .... it wasn't .... it wasn't a re ar
normal peak, you know... .normal angled peak. It w s a
' curved peak. Some sort of a large building. It certainly
Ok. Tien I has the feeling I was inside, ok, looking
at a series of fluted columns which made arches, or
held up arches. Some sort of a cap stone-like this.
I had the feeling there was more recess behind it. I
had the feeling of possibility there was a ...some sort
of a line..as though there was a step or two... very
small step or two here .... and the man was stan...I think
there were like a group of four or five but all I could
get was... V, I d two of
gr . And this was inside, now. The roo 6s over
t is. An inside area. I had the feeling for alot of
ti flooring, smooth floor and everything, and I had,
what as our
head of what was a of people echelon and-they were
like..uh..you know, they were like, here, ok.and then
there was one standing back behind him who I think was
the next ...I think that was the next guy that I described
...who was it.... that's not really the scale ...(mumbling)
Like that. This guy was standing back a little bit closer.
Both were.... they all were in shirt sleeves. uh. those
two anyway were in shirt sleeves. This guy had a little
bit of a paunch. I think there was another guy here,
and, I think there were two more here, on the right
side of him. Then standing in front of this group looking
this way was another guy and I would say that both he
arid, the guy over here were holding weapons, or had rifles
of some kind, weapons of some ...or rifles of some kind
or long things, and he had his back .... this is the face

right, ok...this guy is closer because he's in
the foreground...so..ok, and that's just the
back of his head-notice he's dressed more
darkly.. .and he's looking this way, they're looking
this way. I had another guy over here. Sort of
standing catty-corner to look at them and then
filleted, I guess that's the right word, ...he's
over here looking at them this way, ok.
#66 In this group here, you have several distinguished
t 11 me how many you think in
areas there. Can you e
the group that you saw were in the role of being
hostages?
Five. Four to five. I have question marks.
These are the only two here. I have two that I was
really able to see. I think they were in a pretty
regular V with our guy Ahern in the front with
another, shorter, heavier, older guy to his right.
I think there was another guy further along, and
I think there were two on Ahern's left....wing
back .... winged back.
#66 So you can't find an individual count but just as
a flash look at the group you'd say four or five.
#24.5 Right. Right.
#66 Why don't.you tell me what you're moving into now.
#24.5 Ok. What I'm moving into now is another view from
the end ..... the left of two.... try to give the
feeling of this dammed .... what appeared to be long
colonade...I kept calling it.... or long hall....
ok...remembering that this is all in a building,
right ...... there's the roof over top..... ceiling....
now, along this .... this is the feeling I had....at
least there were ...steps.....just these couple steps
on the left side. Like this. Ok, and had these
fluted columns here ...coming up like this. All the
while I was in here I was getting impressions of
exercising of a couple of these people sitting on
these steps that went .... you know.... drifting back
and forth in time .... but when I first got there I
had'the feeling of this kind of stuff... exercise...
waving their arms around and all that kind of stuff.
Then .... I have to keep remembering I'm not on
video tape here. Then.. .other times when I was
sitting there trying to get to them I had the feeling
of a.... one individual sitting, leaning with his back

//24.5 It is. But I want to show you the other side
because it's a double hall .... the thing I'm getting
at here... is that it is ...I did have the feeling
that this colanade thing existed on the other side
in.... in a double layout ...... k..... you see what
I mean.... that it was concentric.
OK. Now,-when you were viewing this, and I was
listening to you I found it hard to conceive of
such a large area to be inside. So this is why
I asked you to look up but, again, you keep
reiterating that you had the definite feeling of
being inside.
#24.5 . Yes. I had the definite feeling that I was inside.
aside. Like that. Uh..the place that was familiar
AI-
At first I didn't think I was inside, but later on
I began to feel that I was, you know. At first, the
first fleeting thought I figured this is some sort
of an outside place, but the more I stayed and
concentrated on them the more all the rest of the
stuff came in from the sides and showed me that I
was inside, in fact. So.... I don't know what to
think. I think I was inside. I think they were

Finally, by the time I had gotten through with the
whole thing that's when I ,started talking about how
it was familiar to me. Except that this access here
was longer than I recalled it from one of the other
sessions, but, still the layout of the place is very

much like it. Now, when I started to walk them
away in my imagination .... when I started to walk
them away, they went through a door at this end of
the hall at the foreground of three, and they went
downstairs. Which is just a precise layout of what
.I, pulled out of the HOLLAND thing when we first
started. Way back six weeks ago, four, five
weeks ago.
So , what you're telling me then, is you feel that
you recognize this place as being the same place that
you'd found COL HOLLAND when we worked that session.
eet high, but like 30 feet high. Like a large interio
type of a place was this ...so, if you can imagine
looking down from a ceiling point....from a ceiling
view.
Right. Remember, that information is four weeks old.
You told me to go up to the ceiling. At the ceiling
I just got.... you know....this rehash, but in the
foreground hanging down in front of my
again, from what I thought was a domed ceiling, but
not-not super high .... not cathedral high .... not 70
#66 Now, being up at the ceiling the chandelier seemed to
block your view.
#24.5 Right. These things hanging down like this. There,
like that.
#66 If I was to show you a picture of this other individual
that you saw do you think you might be able to recognize
him?
#24.5 Well ...uh...uh...yes.... I could try. I think I could
try. The other thing is..uh..I can give a comparative
description, anyway. The guy has got.... he doesn't
have a butch haircut but he's got his hair cut up high
on the sides of his head. You know what I mean. He
doesn't have a butch, doesn't have a flat top, but he
has his hair cut up high on the sides of his head,
and he has sandy white hair anyway. You know what I
mean.
#66 What's referred in the military as having white side
wall hair cut.
No. It would be white sidewalls if the guy had black
hair. You know. Dark hair. He's an older guy...
55 or 60, 55ish...50 55, I think yes, all right. Not
white side-walls but the complicating issue is the
fact that the guy doesn't have anything... there's no

I thought, if it was anybody,
stockier.... He's ..he appears older. , you
know. I'll try to figure out wfy?e is. At e time
tone there. IIC 's light haired. Like an older fellow
who has light hair, ok, or he's graying and he's got
white side-walls to-hoot: and so it's .... you know...
it's just very..uh..you almost wouldn't think he had
hair on the side of his head. You know. That type of
thing. Not wired rim glasses but light framed glasses.
You know. Light toned. Light tan or light brown, and
..uh..like I said, I could try. His body..you know
he's a couple inches shorter than AHERN, I guess. He's
0~
#66 You have anything else you would i e o add onceIing y ur
impressions of the overall sessions?
Yes,.. concerning the impressions. I'm tired. I'm
tired out. I don't know what the quality of the
session is. Towards.the end of the session I started
feeling pretty sure about it. At the beginning of the
session, I just didn't know. I wasn't getting very much
at all. Then, I really had to work. Once I started
vibrating everything started to clear up ..... uh .....
I think where I was is in ..... or very, very similar
type place where I was before. Now, here, at the
end of the hall.. .the othe of the hall .... the back
in the foreground of-t+666 or the pper right of four
..I guess you,cn call it tha ok....Had the
feeling of. do le light ooden doors. There's
this thing corn . I'll just sketch it quick.
Double, light tan wooden doors, and this is some sort
of a partition or wall.... double.... light... doors.
Again, like I said .... and..uh..that's about it.
#66 Anything you want to add, then?
#24.5 No. Just to re-emphasize that..uh..activity that
I was picking up was..uh..it seemed to be exercise
activity. Controlled, reasonably organized jesticulations
raising arms overhead, bending at the waist, that type
of thing. That's it.
#6.5. Ok. I'm going to show you some pictures #24.5 and you
go through them all and pick one, if there is one. ok.
#24.5 There's no mustache on him, and no glasses. This guy
was wearing glasses andhad a GI type hair cut and
didn't have any mustache and sort of paunted, but then
he was in his T-shirt, you know. He was shorter. I
said he was shorter than the other guy.
