(SINF/SK) 003 reported that the site is a structurally vast
industrial-technical complex. Part of the activities there deal
with the mass production of a material. The manufacturing
processes taking place are refined and complex,' and have many
stages and sub-steps/routines. Layers and laminar/laminations
are involved - -layers of materials, some hard, Sam:::: harder, some
medium-hard ara. sandwiched and _bonded together. There are light,
dark, and medium layers in color as well. This is at least part
of what's produced - -an important and item/material, but at the
stage it-was perceived, it is. not yet in final condition. The
product's nature is conductive, laminar, substrate, bonded, flat.
When produced_in volume, it can be flexibfe enough to be spooled
on large ..... diameter rolls, but retains a certain brittleness and
can be cracked or broken if bent too sharply or otherwise
mishandled. ? It has further technical applications. A mildly
corrosive, translucent -green reagent is involved in part of the
complex many staged manufacturing process - -it is used in a
purifying it: metal or other material is "purged" with it,
cleaned .. impurities removed. Colloidal, vitreous, oxidation,
extrusion, compounding are all concepts associated with this
site. There is a concept of recycling a composite (more than one
type being circulated into each other) gaseous substance through
a closed system to precipitate some sort of material or solid out
of it ..... -"distillation" system to distill solids; the gases react,
causing precipitates like doping or coating. But this process is

chemical rather than electrical. 003 then reported the following
on each individual area of the site (as per the requirements):
Area A: consists of a large, voluminous structure perceived
from the inside with levels (raili.ngs, walkways)...at intervals up
the wall. The structure is full of loud, &oey_Sbunds, and
industrial equipment, including lifting devt like traveling
cran. On the floor are large, roughly ri. objects with
lots of wire windings. These are heavy duty components for even
larger devices. The objects are large, bulky, metallic, and will
he moved from their horizontal position to a vertical one to be
Tit into place.
Area B: is empty, light blue, low, dim, empty, with seats
and furniture. It is needed from time to time for various
purposes. It involves congenial lighting, and has a curving,
doming ceiling. There is a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere here
that is reminiscent o4. a meeting place or a conference area.
Area D: has dimensional components involving rounded,
aligned uniformly-shaped structures that are curving, smooth, and
cold to the touch. They are surrounded by a fence ..... like
strLc:: ture, and nearby are several lattice-like elements.
"Electrical," "high tension," "reinforced," and "heavy-duty" are
concepts associated with this portion of the site. There is an
impression of transformers on rails and large ceramic insulatwes.
Also an extremely cold liquid--perhaps a liquified noble or inert
gas is present.
Area E: involves in at least one portion a large, long,
rectangular, several-floored structure with windows that look out
onto a fenced yard with large metal cable spools, and large,
massive steel sections stored there. Inside the structure is an
lyi.gcN:t.ro-mechanicia shop. Electrical devices are rebuilt,
repaired, or in some cases even fabricated. WijIdings, copper
wire and cable are present. Impression of heavy industry or
physical plant here. But other, more intricate work is also
performed here on upper levels in smaller rooms. The idea or
sense of consolidation of similar activities in one location for
efficiency. Impression of a man bent over a work bench with
electronic components jumbled up in front of him. Coils,
functioning, fields, heavily magnetic, thermocouples, revolving
armatures, varying humming and large scale sounds are all
involved here.

Materiel comes into this building from manufacturers (new) and
other line units (used). !here is a "loading dock/reception
counter" area completely inside this building. Here, goods are
processed into and out of the building. One of the dollies has
the following equipment on itg
1) Several cardboard boxes (NFI).
2) A piece of test equipment, slightly larger than a
power drill, with the same general shape. It is grayish brown in
color, with a shiny band around the front end. The back and of
it is recessed and has throw switches and .some indicator lights.
3) A piece of electronic equipment which iiisd RF
receiver, rack mounted, multi-plug, with indicator lights and a
meter. This equipment is not a piece which would be considered
an "end-item" (that is, the piece the operator normally works
with), but acts as a processor of some sort before the signal
gets to the operator.
There is a caged-in area centrally located in the building. This
area is approximately 15' square, and goes from floor to ceiling.
The contents of this area are hidden from sight by large curtains
inside the wire cage. Inside are stacks of equipment. Each
piece of equipment is wrapped in black plastic, and not labeled.
The equipment consists of metal _cases encased in tar, with only
plugs for input and output. The plugs are for COaXial cable
connectors. There are no knobs, lights, indicators, dials, or
anything else on the outside besides the two plugs. The
components inside the metal cases are also encased in tar.
sizes of equipment are present. The equipment is normally
measured metrically, but the approximate sizes in inches are a 2
1/2" cube, 2" high X 6" wide X 9" long and 4" high X 13" wide X
18" long. The equipment is some type of radio equipment which is
used "in line" and is intentionally physically hidden, below dash
boards of vehicles, panels of stationary equipment, etc.
AREA Cg is a site maintenance area with heating, repair,
maintenance, etc. One building in this area has the concept of
"m.ix:lear" associated with it.
AREA Dg contains administrative buildings and some
guest/living quarters. One building is a grey, three story
structure which houses the office of the Director of the "working
areas" of the complex. The director's name sounds like "Dar pay
Dolonov" (1st syllable accented). Other than his building, Area D
is not under his control, but the majority of areas A, 13, C and
E are.
Area Eg is a complex of buildings, a portion of which are
fenced in and separate from the rest of the complex, but still a

+or personnel. The following data involves only buildings
within the fencing. One building is dedicated to paperwork and
has the feel of "money" about it. Another building is for
storage and has area inside which is extremely cold. A worker is
working outside one building, carrying goods from one place to
another. These goods are pallets of powdery material which is
somehow related to an Ii.D. colored missile. p4 of 'Area

. Viewer 095 reported that the target is a facility which
,ngages in projects that involve manufacturing and assembly on a
,mall scale of specialty military items which are components as
opposed to entire weapon systems. The manufacture involves
precision machining. One of the items which is manufactured is a
15-18 feet long torpedo-shaped object that is big and heavy. It
has a silvery-brassy color with a matte finish that is the result
of a series of very fine grooves (like screw threads). 095 also
reported thatg
Area Ag includes a long building. Inside the long
building is a long narrow hall with many small rooms along it.
There are wood desks and casually dressed, educated people and
scI entists. In another part of area A is another building
which has a open, high room 30 x 40 feet and 12 ft high. The
room is a machine shop with several work stations. Lots of
grinding and drilling noises and sounds like metal being cut.
The floor is polished cement.
Area Dg In one place three large pipe-like things are
laying horizontally interconnected into kind of in a triangular
shape. There are also rows/stacks of these pips ..... like things.
Area Cg Construction/assembly of things is the ordinary,
day-to-day routine in area C. The people who work here are blue
collar and where hard hats. There is a moving belt, 'liJa an
assembly line with large metal components on it. There are lots
of banging, clanking and hammering sounds.

Area D: is a fenced-in area with several structures, two of
which have a narrow alley between them. General impression is
that these structures are somewhat older than those in other
areas. Associated with the structures are the idea of_storge
and of a 'loading' area. Men are stacklng long cylindrical
objects onto a flat bed truck. This area is very secure, but
these workers could care less about security. The cylinders are
approximately 2 1/2 feet diameter and 10 15 feet long. AOLLwierth

cylinders are very smooth and are a brownish-brassy matte color.
Associated with the cylinders is the concept "encased."
Area E: has several long buildings which are redundant in
function: the same routine job is performed in each. Also in
Area E is an underground area which is shielded and is accessed
by means of stairs which are in a building. There are some
office rooms in the underground part, but they are not relevant
to the importance of the underground area. The underground room
is long and narrow and has lots of pipes in it. The pipes are
not connected to anything outside the shielded area but are self-
contained. This underground area is very much like a bomb
shelter.
