four separate SUN STREAK sources were

2. (S/SK/WNINTEL) The following is provided as raw, unevaluated
information. These sources have provided reliable information in
the past but the veracity of this data cannot be established by
this office due to the lack of sufficient target background data.

location in another flat, austere area, with the object
intact. Something seemed to be able to lengthen or
abbreviate the length of time of movement of the object, but
the object still must inevitably come down. The object
seemed to be hollow, enclosing something, and sugg ted the
smell of -#h air inside rcraft. The site also
suggested some sort ofocket,or rocket

Source's second opinion of the site was that the site
involved an event composed of stages: planning:
preparation; co duct; and evaluation. Wiring the course of

on uc o Me-p-MTOCI 7,---a movin object received input which
was informational in nature a d directed, controlled, and
verified status, having something to do with parameters,
"supervising" and a strict "performance envelope. " After
the first part, when impetus f 8r the no longer
present, the information flow reversed; output involved
response/reporting. Periodic input during second part
effected attitude, perhaps course or orientation. The
entire project had the sense of "quasi-legality," as if
people at the site felt the activity would be frowned on by
some third party if it should become cognizant of it; that
it would evoke a feeling of betrayal or unfairness, as if
the activity is occurr g even -though the ins igators said
it wouldn't upon mutual agreement. But the people involved
felt the necessity to conduct it nevertheless: i.e., "the
ends justify the means."
No further information was provided.
b. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Source #018 was interviewed twice and
stated substantially as follows:
Source's first opinion of the site was that the site was a
wide open, spacious, flat area. There was a lar&e structure
a the site which had a dome above it. Struts seemed to be
incorporated into the dome. Source 'felt that the site was
inactive at the time of the interview but that in the past
an explosion took nl e.ewithin the--large, domed structure.
This explosion did not result in the destruct n of the
structure.
Source's second opinion of the site, having been asked to
examine a point in time of activity at the site, was that an
object at the site seemed to suddenly radiate outward
pressure. This pressure did not exist i"~'mmediately
afterwards. The object then started toward a dormant stage
but was still active. This std did not
seem like a sudden explosion, but i e an exp os on in slow 000
motion. Some time shortly after the slow expo osion, the
site carried an impression of things falling inward. Before
the slow explosion, the site had a very tense almost

vibrational or jerky feel to it.
No further information was provided.
c. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Source #021 was interviewed twice and
was unable to provide any information which could be construed to
be relevant to the tasking at hand.
d. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Source #101 was interviewed twice and
stated substantially as follows:
Sources first opinion off' the site was that the site involved
a stuuay inside a t , five or six story, buildin with a
beni~C or right angle in the middle. The concept o study was
described in various terms including: (perplexing, a
Gordion's Knot which has no beginning and no end, a study to
facilitate something else, and the concept of
predictability) This study had been going on for quite a
while with no end in sight. There were, however, certain
milestones and suspenses which must be met.
Sources second opinion of the site, after having been asked
to elaborate on his first impr sions, was that inside the
large building there was a secure area with double doors and
closed circuit TV. In this area there were four or five
people in a working group as opposed to a decision making
group, although-he two functions tended to blend together.
There were two main characters. One was about 60 years old,
balding, thin, short almost elfin in appearance. He was
very enthusiastic with a tremendous amount of energy. A
second man was large, fat and in his fifties. He was very
deliberate and does not become excited and cannot be rushed
into anything. All the men here were civilians, although
there was a military flavor to the study group. The study
was composed ofm"many sepaarlte studies, each a complete
entity unto itself. These sepa& studies were brought
together here. Some of these studies were prepare i-n
diffierent languages. The groundwork for this study/project
has been gonngg oii for a considerable period of time. In the
room where the men were located there was a table and on the
table there was a box like dev 9e. Coming ou of or going
the box (the concept was unclear) was a bri n_
violet light. This light both pulls in towards the box and
at he me time slams away from a box. The elfin man
thought that this device, a force or light, had the
potential to do about anything ...?? inside the box was a taste
that reminded source of magnesium or magnesium powder. The

to be oblong shaped with openings at each end. Light from

This light was extremely bright and the men in the room
appeared to be wearing darTened glasses or goggles while
viewing it. The light seemed to be pouring from the box
while at the same time being vacuumed or attracted strongly
back into the box as though a o or o ,7ec were trying to
escape four or five gravities. Words used to describe the
effect of the lig t 1n=uTed: purifying, filtering,
purgatory, a parallel to plastic an smoothing.
Source provided further technical descriptions which may or
may not be relevant. Since this office lacks sufficient
background data to attest to the veracity of, this technical
information it is not included herein. Also, Source #101 is
essentially a non-technically oriented individual who may
lack the proper points of reference to adequately relay the
somewhat obscure descriptives pertaining to this target.

is limited to personnel with SKEET access only. If access to
this information is necessary, contact DT-S (Ops) directly to

Evaluation Sheet. Please annotate one appropriately for each
source (make necessary copies) and return the sheets to DT-S

diligence in annotating this Intelligence Evaluation Sheet will
aid in the refinement of SUN STREAK assets and thereby enhance
SUN STREAK's ability to provide further information of
intelligence value. SG1J
