1. (S/SK/ INTEL) In re.ponse to a request for information
concerning , four separate SUN STREAK sources were
tasked during the jerio 9 to 23 December 1986.
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.
a. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Source #003 was interviewed twice and
stated substantially as follows:
Source's first opinion of the site was that the site
involved a wide open, austere area, with a low, solid
structure with a window and a person observing. This
individual was observing an experiment or project, and was
satisfied that things had progressed according to plan.
Design modifications were involved, and evaluation of
parameters and effects were being conducted. The Project
involved a long, shiny, smooth, cylindrical object. Rapid
vertical movement for a long distance was involved, which at
a point became a falling down and,around. There was a sense
that initially the object was subject to some specific sort
of impetus, which at a given point ceased, followed by
skipping, bumping, heat, shaking, whistling, and controlled
descending--not falling--which culminated at a predetermined

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 suggested the
smell of the air inside an aircraft. The site also
suggested some sort of rocket or rocket test.
Source's second opinion of the site was that the site
involved an event composed of stages: planning;
preparation; conduct; and evaluation. During the course of
conduct of the project, a moving object received input which
was informational in nature and directed, controlled, and
verified status, having something to do with parameters,
"supervising" and a strict "performance envelope." After
the first part, when impetus for the object was 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 occurring even though the instigators 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 large structure
at 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 place within the large, domed structure.
This explosion did not result in the destruction 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 immediately
afterwards. The object then started toward a dormant stage
but was still active. This sudden outward pressure did not
seem like a sudden explosion, but like an explosion in slow
motion. Some time shortly after the slow explosion, 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 of the site was that the site involved
a study inside a tall, five or six story, building with a
bend or right angle in the middle. The concept of 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 impressions, 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 the 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 of many separate studies, each a complete
entity unto itself. These separate studies were brought
-together here. Some of these studies were prepared in
different languages. The groundwork for this study/project
has been going on 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 device. Coming out of or going
into the box (the concept was unclear) was a brilliant
violet light. This light both pulls in towards the box and
at the same time slams away from the box. The elfin man
thought that this device, a force or light, had the
potential to do about anything. Inside the box was a tastthat reminded source of magnesium or magnesium powder. The
box which had a violet light aspect to it was apparently
being examined/tested by the men in the room. It appeared
to be oblong shaped with openings at each end. Light from
the box did not just radiate out form the box, it poured
out. The light poured out instead of just shining out.

This light was extremely bright and the men in the room
appeared to be wearing darkened 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 body or object were trying to
escape four or five gravities. Words used to describe the
effect of the light included: purifying, filtering,
purgatory, a parallel to plastic and 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.

SUN STREAK office.
5. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Enclosed herewith is an Intelligence
Evaluation Sheet. Please annotate one appropriately for each
source (make necessary copies) and return the sheets to DT-S
(Ops) within 30 days of receipt of this report. Care and
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.
