the sides. The sides that I couldn't see.

PAUSE
#31: Funny, I see a . . . a big . . almost a "T". I have
the feeling of a big sort of . . a big curve. . thing
in the room where - its sort of a large room area.
Definite feeling, this . . big . . blocky thing is a
. . sections of sofa to make a curve. But I don't
feel that it sits in the corner. I feel that it
somehow sits away from the corner. The one part of
it projects out from a wall.
Its like a sofa but it may not be. But I had this
feeling of thick padding or thickness in curves.
What I think was the beam is bisected by what I think
is the wall.

I'm looking around.

#31: I see a figure sitting . . on what appears to be
a edge of a bed. . . . or the edge of something
soft.
He is . . wearing a . . like a . . deck sneaker,
white socks. I see white in under his cuff. My
feeling is, he's legs are spread apart. His feet
on the floor. Like a relaxing (not audible) leaning
forward, like with his elbows on his knees like one
would sit reading a book between their knees. Holding
it between their knees.
#66: Move now to describe the exterior of this building.
Move now to describe the exterior of this building.
PAUSE
PAUSE
Its . . . something .
PAUSE
My feeling is a . . . flat roof structure, but its
a half moon on it, is on something that is stacked
up. Its . . . a stacking thing. The feeling is
there are things stacked up above the roof, on the
roof. Like a layer or two of . . . little segments
of roofs above the roof in a little stack. But at
the top of that stack, like the uppermost little
roof, I had a It was like cut out. I had a
semi-circle cut out. They stood at the . . .
There are trees around, but . . . they're not close
by. They're . . Its more open around the . . . .
reflective, like maybe trees are 70 feet away but
not up here. . near the place.
I just went by a roofline coming down and a the
roofline was essentially flat. It has a tilt to
it, its very very minor and it is a small roof over-
hang on this side of the structure. Very small.
Maybe only a foot.

#66: Move back away from the structure. . a bit so
that you may see it in its entirety.
+27 #31: I keep feeling that there is a . . hot reflective
area out front. Not hot. Like a . . . a lot or
a . . . sidewalk or . . Bigger than that, its like
a lot out on the side.
#66: Do you recognize this building?
#31: I don't know.
#66: Is this building on the compound?
PAUSE
+28 #31: I think it is.
#66: Examine the building now for security force personnel.
PAUSE
+30 #31: I am like . . . standing . . below. . . two guys
that are up on a porch. I think this thing . . .
some sort of a flutedness behind them on like pillars
but relatively simple and just two, to narrow type
porch. They're like . . They're like leaning against
the pillars and I see a couple (not audible). Its not
real high up, its a little ways up.
Now, I'm inside.
Sort of a . . a lobby area. Not too many folks here.
Something, they're doing something on the right end
of the building. From the porch thing, to the right.
I almost had the feeling they were three or four
emptying garbage cans there. Moving something around
like that. Like a laborer or clean-up thing. And on
this right end, its like I'm inbetween two buildings.
Here. There's another. . its like its a back service
area. Drives with asphalt covering. There's another
building on my right that seems smaller. I'm back
in now through the (not audible). I'm trying to look
in . . around the back part. There are. . Its confus-
ing in here because there's structure all around.

+35 #31: There's one area in this back area that looks
like it might even be a loading dock like. Or, a
small supply delivery area. There are trees
through the building on the other side of the
. looking straight ahead, there are trees, tall
trees, only about, between the gap and two buildings.
That this feeling of here I am and this hot cemented
area is a lot of trucks and I have a feeling of oil
+36 and grease and smelling back in there but nearby are
trees where its nice and green.
Anyway, I don't feel there's anyone in the area there.
#66: Okay, from that end of the building now, I want you
to drift up very slowly 500 feet over this area.
Drift up slowly, maintain your (not audible). .
directly over this image. Move up to 500 feet and
look down and describe what you see.
PAUSE
Over . . building on the left, back to my left left
is some trees. Right in under me is this reflective
like . . . corner. . that's got somewhat of a. . .
complexes buildings in there that's . . . unlike the
other area where its . . where there's no grass here.
They all appear about the same height. But there is
this one that I say looks like a "J". A "J" shape -
a fat "J" shape and then there is this other one back
and under and behind me that is this other one that's
near there. Then to the right, I'm . . . feeling that
it gets green again. That's where those tall trees
are. . . that I could see before. A row of trees.
#66: Okay, fine. Just for a moment now, move up rather
high and see if this area, this immediate area,
falls into perspective for you. Determining whether
this is in a specific area of the compound or other
location.

#31: I . . . I got . . . its up above the . . what
looked like those four houses. 'Cause when I
moved up, the four dots came into view. I knew
they were the little house structures in a row.
#66: All right.
#31: Just as I moved away I saw the . . the roof started
coming in and under me.
#66: I have one final question. Access the immediate
area. Search the area quickly without reporting
for other hostage personnel and other guard personnel
in the immediate area.
#66: At this time I have no further questions. If there's
anything you'd like to add, please do so now.
#66: All right. Let's draw these impressions you've
had up til this time.
#31: Okay, the . . . Start over again.
PAUSE
The first feeling I had was like I was outside a
about a . ..about a two story wall.
It had windows in it. Like that. And then . . .
interesting perspective, anyway, I was sitting
outside this two story wall and there was some
kind of a walk down below me and there was some
kind of a . a shallow, very shallow . . . .
"V" shaped, not "V" shaped . .

#31: Some sort of a . . just a double pillared
front on it. With a little triangle overhanging
porch or something like that.
The next thing I saw was, going the other way,
I turned and sort of looked to the left, okay,
and it was just a simple repeat of the thing.
It was a flat wall.
Okay and it was light. . light in tone. It wasn't
brick. I had the feeling it was more like cement.
It was a solid wall instead of a brick wall and
this was light toned as well.
PAUSE
Okay. Then. . I forget where I went then. Where'd
I go then?
Did I go inside then or did I go up then?
PAUSE
#66: You said at that time that you felt like you
were looking down at a "J", shape of a "J".
#31: Okay, so I did go up. That's what I was curious
about. I didn't. . couldn't remember if I had
gone up. So then on three, . . . . . . . . .
I had the feeling that I was looking at a building
that was "J" shaped and it just . . with flat
roof and that there was something there out front.
Okay, and the building was roughly "J" shaped.
It had windows in the one side of it at least.
Like that.
Okay, at that time, at three I did not . . . . .
you know, perceive anything else around. I was
just focusing on the building type situation. Okay.
Then I went in and I had the feeling that Howland
was alone; was in some sort of a . . some sort of
a room that. it was really peculiar. If there
was a mirror in . . if this, . . it was almost as
though it was something that was, like this shape.
That I thought was like an "L" shape sofa. You
know, a corner sofa. Corner shape sofa.

#31: Like this.
And that what I was actually doing is that I
was looking at this thing. . . . was actually
along a wall, away from a corner of a room and
that what gave the other side of the L shape
was the fact that there was a mirror there.
You see what I mean. So, there was like a mirror
on the wall or something that gave this funny
thing, what was actually a sofa or some such thing
. . was in reality a reflection.
Reflection. in a mirror. Anyway. It was some sort
of a . . it was some sort of an interior room
furnishing, whatever.
The thing was away from the corner of the room.
Okay, another perspective of the room was I went
down on the . . okay and there's carpet. Green.
Cheap. You know what I mean. Stuff. Its not the
heavy pile. Not that plush pile stuff. Its just
that all purpose, like what we get.
Five, was this feeling of here was the wall . . .
PAUSE
with a chair sitting against a desk. Chair.
Desk.
Right here in the foreground was . . poking out this
. . this . . . sofa or whatever was here on the left
side. Right side, excuse me.
Now I went through this wall, and that was the out-
side. The chair and desk was actually closer but
anyway that's it. I had the feeling . . Later on in
the session, I had the feeling that our guy was sitting
there on the sofa - I thought it was a sofa anyway.
All right. Six. Then what did you have me do?
#66: Then I wanted you to move back outside and describe
the exterior of the buildings.

#66: You talked about a roof structure. Something
stacked. Half-moon shape.
#31: Yeah. That was as though I was looking down at
a part of this building. . . that had . . .
something on top of it, like that. Like a second
roof on top of the roof. You see what I mean.
Its difficult. Its something on top. The grain
of the top, roof of the building, this actually
should go over here. Sorry.
The grain of the top of the roof of the top of the
building was the repeated here. And it was repeated
there but for some peculiar reason, there was a
black shaped curve in one of the segments. It was
like a fancy carved out patio roof, like a penthouse
roof on top of the building or something like that.
It was a different roof. It was like it was stacked
up. You follow me. Okay.
I don't know if its a patch on the roof or if it
was three dimensional or if it was two dimensional
or not, but it was like the long roof square, then
it was a little rectangle and then inside the little
rectangle was another one. And that one was the one
that was like carved out, like it could have been a
shadow or it could have been an actual carved out
type thing. Okay.
What else? Okay, also on this, I'll say that the
little funny thing about the overhang. 10 to 12
inch roof overhang and this is essentially flat.
PAUSE
And then you had me look for people.
PAUSE
Okay, I had two guards. Or, two, not our people,
these were two loungers, whatever you call it.
Lounging around leaning against the pillars out
front. Okay.
Okay. This is what I thought was the front of the
building. And I did have the feeling there was some
sort of traffic. Few. . Few people go in and out.

#66:
Not a lot of people. Not a mad rush. Not a
crowd. Just like had a feeling of somebody
popping up the steps and walking into the
building. Okay.
PAUSE
Were these people armed?
Yeah. They were. It was more a rifle type
situation, but . . .
PAUSE
I didn't get a good look at it. Didn't have a
good session at all. I don't know why. That's
that.
Okay. Then I got to the point. Let me see, from
there, I went to the right. Which is to 8, okay.
I had the feeling that back here in this corner,
on the right end of the building, was a. . was
. all this was asphalt. Okay. And it went
around behind the building like that. And that
here. . the back end of this building were like
3 or 4 guys with . . something like a trash can
like it . . Oh, its a shit detail. Okay. And
there were like 3 or 4 . . . . They were doing
something here in this asphalt area and it was hot
and sticky. Stinky, like the back end of a building
always is. You know. The rear end of the building
is always that way. So there were. . . No, these
men were not armed.
Okay. And for the first time I had the feeling
that there was a smaller, lower building over here.
On the right.. Okay.
Then I went in to 9, still looking for folks. . .
Then I had this feeling that I was - let me see if
I can draw a panorama here -
Okay this was the wing. Sketch 8 was right down
below. Okay and this is the L shape or the making
the J okay. Small loading dock type feeling here on
the back. All this was asphalt.

Like interior parking. Something like that.
Okay and then here in the background. . . .
were the trees that I talked about. (not
audible) And this building here was on the
right, was still here but I don't know how big
it was. It was . . This was definitely a gap
so there was another building that came out like
this.
Was a gap. Here was the other building and here's
this building. Okay. What is that, that's 9.
All right, and still no people around in back.
Okay.
#66: Are you saying that the . . I'm trying to understand
your drawings. The J type structure, is this build-
ing of different levels?
#31: No, that's perspective. Its the same level all
the way around. Its just that that's in the distance
so it looks different.
#66: Okay.
#31: Okay, same way here. See that's the little tit of
it sticking out behind that. Okay, I had the feel-
ing it was all about the same, two story level all
the way around it.
All right. What else? You had me look for folks.
You had me look down.
#66: There's two things. I had you move up to 500 feet
and I also had you look inside, in the immediate
area of our man . . .
#31: Okay, I didn't get anything when I was looking for
other folks or people inside. It was just blanked
out. I didn't get anything. You know, I was
waiting for anything to happen like a rehash of
photographs that would apply but nothing happened.
I don't know why. Nothing happened.
Okay, well then I had this big overview feeling.

#31: Okay.
That's probably a little longer. That's more
like it.
Okay.
I had the definite feeling when I was up, that I
was in that real funny area, the . . . . . of the
. . was a humble-jumble of like buildings
here. Okay. I'm just writing. . just putting down
what I saw. And . . . that looked like it was a
wall or something. But then, anyway . . . then I
got this repeated pattern of . . of things down
there.
And this was like open field. Open field area.
But then a bunch of trees started like here which
was when I was talking to you - it was back around
behind my left shoulder. I was actually closer
than this perspective and then there's trees in
here. Trees begin is all I can say. Open up here
and then trees begin. Okay, X marks the spot.
So we would end up with, on this overview, we would
end up with for the tape, X sub 1 is the two guards
at the front, what I perceived to be the front or
side entrance or whatever it is. And then X sub 2
is the three or four guys emptying trashcans and
that's it.
#66: Okay.
#31: I can't think of anything else. Let me think.
PAUSE
No, there's nothing I can think of without embell-
ishing.
Is that the tape or is that the recorder itself?
