(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 WARNING NOTICE: SENSITIVE INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AND METHODS INVOLVED HANDLE VIA SKEET CHANNELS ONLY SPECIAL ACCESS REQUIRED CLASSIFIED BY: DIA-DT DECLASSIFY: OADR 1 OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10 Approved For Release 2002/11/19: CIA-RDP9 -00789R002000210003-4(R ~,MR(I1CFR)/01-it.6 RT wto-114 ?G 4 _97G 19791 Approved For Release 2002/ 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 Approved For Release 2002/11/19 pt1OO789ROO2OOO2l 0003-4 ftT .

(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.

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. 3.

(S/SK/WNINTEL) Direct access to raw transcript information is limited to personnel with SKEET access only. If access to this information is necessary, contact DT-S (Ops) directly to arrange for an appointment to review appropriate transcripts. SKEET transcripts are not releasable outside the confines of the 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.
