In this room containing a big, slighlty oval table and chairs, a meeting had taken place attended by 15-20 people. Some of these people were dressed in dark suits worn over dull, grayish colored sweaters. Others were wearing green uniforms. Most of the people appeared to be 30 or 40 years old. Three people appeared to be addressing this group. This meeting seemed to be very boring, having .o do with a belt..-tightening sort of thing. Source also described another room in this section of the building which was long and narrow. it had a window which opened on the court- yard. This room appeared very cluttered and had lots of metal shelves with a lot of paper. There was a long table or workbench on a wall and there were maps or charts of some kind. In this room there was a machine with lots of pins which drew squiggly lines on paper on a drum. This machine was hooked to someplace else, possibly an adjacent room. Source reported that because of the things he saw in the building (a big white metal sphere, a hexegonal shaped long shaft, a parabolic antenna or reflector, cables and unusual boxes), all in unspecified locations, that the building had to do with research or expanding knowledge for new information.
