SUBJECT: SUN STREAK Interim Operational Report - 8904 (U)
1. (S/NF/SK) During the period of 2 February 1989 to 7 February
1989 inclusively, eight operational sessions were conducted to
determine the intelligence significance of a target structure
identified in the copy of overhead imagery and attached to this
report as ENCLOSURE 1. Results of this effort follow below.
2. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 011 produced a dubious description of the
target structure, then described the interior as hollow, and
containing a gigantic "air-boat" transportation device being
constructed inside.
LOPS COMMENTS: An evident lack of correlation with the known
operational data lends little credibility to Viewer 011's effort
in this instance].
3. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 032 placed the target building in an open
landscape environment surrounded by fencing and high mountains.
The interior of the building was described "hollow and under
construction." Viewer 032 described a future event that would
involve some sort of "attack" on a government facility of
national value.
COPS COMMENTS: Viewer 032's initial data strays from known
ground truth and creates strong doubt as to the validity of this
input].
4. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 003 provided a conceptually accurate
description of the building. Viewer 03'then described the
contents as an "office building", a staff building. There were
added perceptions of individuals brought to this building under
duress, and held there. Viewer 003 expressed a strong sense of
dislike for the building. This was accompanied by a sense of

SG1A foreboding that could not be further articulated. In a
subsequent session, 003 tracked this sense of anguish as being
associated to an adjacent building, rather than the target
building.

5. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 095 described the outer physical aspects of
the site with great accuracy, then described the interior as
having intersecting hallways, "rooms within rooms", and mainly
L%a.It1110 building's purpose was described as being
"administrative, security and psychological in nature." The
presence of a civilian/military duality within the building was
perceived; each appeared to have an independent "chain of
command." Some conflict appeared to exist between the two
factions. The output of this building consists of reports and
paperwork, of a practical nature. Viewer 095 accessed a man who
was angry with the organization's recent loss of prestige and
funding. This person is a chief advisor to personnel in
authority. He is responsible for the entire operations within
the building. A somewhat covert, separate set of activity
appears to be taking place in the building. This activity
involves the security, collection and collation of information.
People who are neither prisoners nor criminals are "brought in"
and interrogated. A sense of fear and manipulation is involved.
A sense of "bad air" (physical reaction) and "extreme heat in the
face" was perceived but not further described by 095.
6. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 025 perceived acts of terrorism as being
planned against the target building. Within this context, there
were perceptions of retaliation, confrontation, crime, and third
world countries (not further described). Several people and
groups appear involved in the preparation and perpetration of an
activity involved in the "taking hostages", "taking over the
"building" as a means or pretext to obtain the release of "their
own" as prisoners. The target building is some sort of plant,
like Westinghouse, with the added characteristic that "several
countries are involved here.
7. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 079 perceived the target structure as a
building of European origin that dealt with international
affairs. It fulfills a key administrative role in a diplomatic
environment. The target building is one of about five similar
buildings located in France, the Federal Republic of Germany,
Italy, Spain, and Great Britain respectively; all are being
considered as bombing targets by terrorists. Several terrorist
factions from various countries appear to be involved in the
planning and perpetration of this planned activity. The Red
Brigade from Italy and the Red Army Faction from the FRG appear
responsible for providing extensive logistical support. The
Spanish Basque movement known as the Fatherland and Liberty (ETA)

and the Greek Revolutionary Power Struggle (ELA) also perform a
supportive function (NFI). The actual perpetrators will in all
likelihood come from within the FRG Movement known as the
Revolutionary Cells (RZ), and/or the Spanish First of October
Anti-Fascist Resistance Group (GRAPO). Either RZ or GRAPO will
claim credit as perpetrators of this bomb attack. (NOTE: The
name "Weitzel" phonetically surfaced when reporting on the FRG;
it may be identifiable with Wetzlar, FRG. Wetzlar is located
about 150 miles north of Frankfurt".
