#66: This will be a CENTER LANE Interview for 0900 hours
11 August 1983. Relax and concentrate now, relax
and focus your attention solely and completely on
today;
SG1
And describe your impressions to me.
#08: Now from a...from a. high overview appears to be a
southwestern shore, of a country. The a...the
a. point of interest is a....thirty, to ---thirty
to fifteen miles east of a the .. ..
southwestern.. a.. yeah portion of that line that
goes up and down. It's very high. ....... This is
the a ....the a ....a ..point of interest is a ..very
a ...cluttered . ...... + .There a ...this is
a ....system of a ....white hygienic looking
a..pipes, conduits, a...bulbous type dome.
#66: Your position of observation now?
#08: I'm too damn close now, I..it's cluttered by a..by
all of this a...research appearing.... appearing
center.
#66: Okay, let's go two hundred feet over this area.
When I read the coordinates again, we will go
specifically two hundred feet right above this.
SG1A
straight down below you.
#08: Okay, there's a building to the right-of this
rectangle of focuses of the building to the right,
there's a road in front of the building with a....
street lamps that are a little weird.
#66: Okay, now what is it that's immediately to the left
of the building?
#08: ........There's two things, there's...a small
rectangular ... building and....there's something...
in the left background-of the building
that's. .whitish .

#66: Um, um. You don't have, this whitish thing, you
don' t have to name it or tell me what it is, but
tell me its shape and so forth.
#08: .....it has a peculiarity, it's...it looks out of
proportion because it's higher...higher than, about
three times as 2 and half, three times the height,
it's got a shortened-base.
#66: That's correct.
#08: And it is a....though you don't...you don't see it
from the outside this...there's something again
about a dome in there, a...hypenbolic dome.
#66: Say again.
#08: A parabolic dome, there's something about a dome
associated with that building.
#66: Okay. A parabolic dome?
#08: Yeah.
#66: All right. Now this building with the white thing
next to it on the left, the building is the target
I'm interested in.
#08: Oh, you want to come back to the building.
#66: All right.
#08: The little building or the big one?
#66: I think I want the big building.
#08: Oh, all right.
#66: So let's go inside the big building. Now inside
this big building, describe activity, personnel and
equipment.
#08: ...A ah..... well let me well a. this is all
intertwined, so let me break it down.
#66: Take your time.
#08: The a...most of the a..a personnel are wearing
these a..these a lab frocks ..... some white, some

gray. ........The a ..a white a..a f rocked
....personnel are in the, facing the building, are
in the a ...right a ..wing . ...The a workers a..I
got to tell you what it's not, it's not chemical,
it's a...I...
#66: It's not necessary to label the type of work, if
you just describe the activity.
#08: No, it's a flavor I haven't encountered and I 'm
trying to describe it.
#66: That's fine.
#08: It has nothing to do with physics, it has nothing
to do with chemistry.
#66: Perhaps just the physical actions of the personnel
would help.
#08: Again the ...aspect of lack of dust in the ..the
a...a sense of a...the very hygienic area comes
into place as if this were....as it is important
and this were and... there's something about...part
or partially ..the. object or the work having to do
with ......with the work in a. vacuum or the
apparatus in a vacuum. ...... I do see....a control
panels of ..with switches and stuff.
#66: Okay.
#08: The (mumble) is very high, as high as the wall,
they took up from floor to ceiling.
#66: All right.
#08: I get a this impression that it's not...it's
directive, it's not-it's not electronic research,
sophisicated of the, the work is not research in
electronics, it's direction, control...... of an
apparatus I think, I guess.
#66: All right. So in one wing of the building, we have
people that are dressed in some sort a---
#08: Scientific frocks, you know the guys that go around
the lab with these--
#66: Lab style frocks.
#08: Yeah.

#08: I had my eye just on one or two guys,
a ..males, ...early sixties, ...a ..this a ...boy this
is weird....a....round, you know round...rimmed
glasses. ......I just got attached to this guy and
following him around.

sixty year old male that wears round rimmed glasses.
#08: Yeah, in fact he is quite short, 5'3", 5'4", bald,
bald and a ..a ..gray sideburns and the rest of his
hair is quite bald really, just a few stands on.
#66: You say he's short?
#08: Yeah, yeah, certainly not more than 5'4", 5'5"
maybe .
#66: Okay. Now this is one wing has these people
dressed in these lab type frocks.
#08: Yes, the only place I've been.
#66: And the it has some sort of a electronic control
panel that directs something.
#08: Yeah, yeah.
#66: All right. Let's look at the rest of the building.
#08: I'm in the other wing now. They're also a ...a I
mentioned this before but I better get it out again
if we're going to go anyplace else.
#66: That's fine.
#08: The a. other people that are not dressed in white,
but they're also wearing grayish blue, a..yeah,
grayish blue frocks. And they kind of, the white
frocks go the wing, I don't particularly know where
these other guys go. ....This is a three or
four story building. ..They, I also got to say

I see are... insulator pipes ......about 4 and 1/2
inches in diameter. ......And maybe 12 feet long,
