1. ( ) On 17 June 1986, sources were given sealed envelopes and instructed to
provide a report of their RV perceptions no later than 20 June 1986. They were instructed
not to open their envelops nor share data with each other. Inside the envelopes were the
following instructions:
From 032030 July 1986 to 062300 July 1986 has been nicknamed Liberty Weekend, the
"100th Birthday Party" for the Statue of Liberty. Such events are thought to
provide lucrative opportunities for hostile terrorist activities. If such
activities do occur or can be thwarted, they would most likely be reported in the
Washington Post on Monday, 7 July 1986.
So that we may have the opportunity to thwart any hostile terrorist activities,
describe the Liberty Weekend story as reported in the Washington Post on Monday,
7 July 1986.
2. ( ) As a follow-up to the information provided by the sources on 24 June,
additional RV techniques were used to develop further information. A target was formulated
and encrypted in the standard format for presentation to the sources. The designated target
was as follows:
Information required to assist the authorities in dealing with the events of the
4th of July 1986.

20 June 86 Some event is involved - sudden,
but expected by at least some
people involved. Seems. like an
explosion or bomb detonation.
Impression of large, round
metallic object made of heavy-duty
construction, perhaps involving
moveable, rotating parts. Metal
object is intended for some
specific purpose, perhaps
involving defense. There is a
sense of rotating and locking like
the bolt of a rifle or an
artillery piece. The idea of a
very intense, glowing light or
reflection is present, indication
concentrated, intense heat. (A
separate?) impression of something
white with wide-spread, contoured
surfaces like something intended
to fly. A sense of organization,
preparation, meticulous detail,
technical expertise, and perhaps
inimical purpose involved.
Relatively small number of people
involved, but connection with
broader circle of people exists.
There is (also) a large,

round/dome-shaped interior area
w/reinforced girders overhead,
suggesting a hanger or even an
observatory. Huge voluminous
space, echoes, and the sense it is
intended to house something which
is on occasion exposed to the
outside.
At this point the impression of an
air attack by terrorists on the
Statue of Liberty intruded, and
wouldn't go away so I ended.
A rather large, tall structure.
Area around structure has a
rounded component, and has people
noises, like a neighborhood. A
balcony/upper floor of an
apartment/penthouse/etc.
w/possibly several people
present. One in particular is
young, either female or an
effeminate male who seems dressed
all in white, not like a nurse's
uniform, but in casual clothes.
The vista from the "balcony" or
window seems to over look water.
Location seems virtually empty,
except for high area, possibly
upper floor of building, where
person is. Person seems to be
able to look out from where he/she
is onto a relatively open area.

24 June 86 At some point in the future
(more on person) (beyond 24 June) person receives a
box in which is there is an object
which is assembled with something
already in the possession of the
person. Person then waits. Event
occurs. Bright flash, light, then
quiet, "click" sound, laughing and
talking sounds, then object or
"gizmo" is disassembled and parts
are given around and the people
leave.
(relook at event) Something coming out of "gizmo."
"Gizmo" has plate glass in front
of it. "Thing coming out" goes
through. There is a structure
(building?) with a green top like
copper patina. "Line" goes from
"gizmo" straight -missing the
green-topped structure- to a
modern building w/dark window.
Person has "aim-point" on
green-topped structure.

20 June 86
The first impression was looking
at the earth from a very great
height and seeing the North
American continent and
Europe/Africa, from directly over
the Atlantic Ocean. There is a
sense of movement, rapid movement
from east to west, a smell of

burning and loud noises, almost
like banging. Focus is then
averted to Washington D.C. and the
White House. The flag is flying
at half-mast and crowds are
gathered at the fence surrounding
the White House. There is a
feeling of great sadness within
the crowd, while at the same time,
a feeling almost like relief. The
sadness has been occasioned
because of the death of military
personnel who were killed while
aborting an air attacl( directed at
Washington. The attack was led by
fanatical 'supporters of Gadhafi,
who has (called for) the action
based on his pride rather than his
concern for his people and his
beliefs. These actions have
aroused a fear among his former
supporters, both in Libya and in
neighboring countries, that the
time has come to "replace" him.
This time he has gone too far and
they fear that his action will
lead to sanctions by not only the
U.S. but by other countries who
have in the past supported him.

Between 0100 and 0300 the street
is deserted in a residential or
semi-residential area of a city.
The temperatures is warm, still,
and humid. There is a large white
or light gray building on a quiet
street. Building is stucco and
has a stucco wall running beside
it enclosing a lush garden area.
Building is the largest structure
on the street. Building had the
feel of being both a residence and
a place where business is
conducted. I had the feeling
people were sleeping here. There
was a desk of some sort, like a
desk in a hotel or a check point
for a semi-secure area. Furniture
in the building was nice but was
old and was starting to fade, as
if this building had been more in
the past than it was today. The
impression of elegance just
starting to turn seedy. (Source
did not know why this building was
important.) In wondering what was
important about this place I
finally, after considerable time,
decided that it may have something
to do with an "implosion" of some
kind. I did not sense a
tremendous loss of life and I am
very doubtful about this part. As
I finished I noticed the Capital
Beltway.

24 June 86 Some event occurs at site amongst
structures, strongly suggesting
idea of explosion or detonation.
Thermal effects are significant.
Event may be caused by some sort
of object or projectile or missile
originating in a distant land with
an ultimate destination of a large
elaborate, old, historically and
culturally significant structure,
like a house of parliament,
currently in use. Other objects
appear to be launched but don't
appear to make it to destination.
Object or projectile seems (?) to
be unmanned. There is some sense
that the object impacts large
structure causing significant
structural damage and perhaps
thermal damage also. Damage to
humans is probable. This seems to
occur in daytime.

23 June 86 Site is a massive grey smooth Err- M~-C
structure. It has a stepped or
different level feeling, stacked.
It is curving on top and has a

metallic feel in the top portion.
Newspaper headlines have something
to do with a collapse of a
building - a lot of people hurt or
injured. I also sense a feeling
of panic, people scrambling and
perhaps something to do with an
aircraft. In summary, standing on
top of a building, which is
crowded inside with people,
tourists, there is a perception of
a large object falling - heading
toward the building. It is
traveling at a great velocity and
is very dense. There is a
high-pitched whining sound from
the object. I sense the object
may cause structural damage as it
crashes through the building. All
of this takes place sometime in
the future.
24 June 86 A very large room; an assembly of
some sort w/one man speaking.
There is a high ceiling, a dome
roof. There are oblong rows of
seats and every seat is filled.
There is a feeling of delegates,
nominees, people in dark colored
suits.
