MEMORANDUM FOR DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL
RESEARCH
SUBJECT: SUN STREAK Operational Report - 8807 (U)
1. (S/NF/SK) During the period of 28 March 1988 to 20 April
1988, five Remote Viewers conducted a total of 16 sessions in an
effort to describe the contents and/or purpose of a manmade
structure(s) identified by a copy of overhead photography dated 5
October 1985.
2. (S/NF/SK) Viewer #003 viewed the general area as comprised
of a number of structures grouped together on land. The target
structure was surrounded by a cement "apron" used for support,
access and security, was described as curved at the corners,
rounded over, segmented, and smooth. It was seen as a shell, on
inflatable structure, used to protect its contents from the
elements and overhead observation. 003 viewed the contents as a
highly involved and evolved apparatus of a complex and confusing
design (TAB A), having two separate but interdependent "systems"
within it. One system involves pipes/tubes which carry a viscous
and bioinimical substance which is potentially corrosive and, by
nature, generates heat. The apparatus was seen as "self-
serving"', not depending an income or outgo of anything exterior
to the shelter." Viewer 003 noted the presence of very few
people at the site. Technicians watched, tended, supervised and
manipulated apparatus to note, control and exploit effects, Some
of these effects were of long term. interest, conflict-usable, and
"not intended far peaceful use." Viewer 003 reported repeated
impressions that the site appeared functionally related to either
aircraft, nuclear energy or both. An interior site plan (TAB B)
indicates a long small provisional work room on one end, and a
small add-on room on the other end. There was also an add-on
room for ventilation equipment.

3. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 011 described the target structure as a
long, spacious, building with a round roof that resembled a
hangar. It is located in an asymmetrical area and appears to
benefit from both manmade and natural construction. The interior
of the structure was viewed as open, spacious anal dark. SEE TAB
C). Loud noises emanating from the inside of the target
structure appeared amplified by the (rounded) contours of the
target structure. An estimated four to six personnel manned what
essentially was viewed as a maintenance and repair facility.
4. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 079 indicated that target the structures
serve to house a scientific, nuclear-related, research and
development effort by the Soviet Union. The research and
development effort is predominantly related to Soviet (Ground to
Air) Air Defense capabilities. Nuclear patterns of explosions
are of significant importance to ongoing studies at this site.
The concepts of "sound and atmospheric conditions" are also
related to the research effort. There are two distinct groups of
scientists involved in this project: A seasoned group of
scientists, and a "student" group of scientists. Road access to
the target site described as dusty and gritty, and nearly
impassable. The results of this activity appear to have a
bearing on SALT Treaty agreements between the US and the Soviet
Union. The disposal of nuclear waste represents a continuing and
sizeable issue of concern. In about February 1989, activities
related to this general target will become apparent to the US.
The resultant information gained by the US at that time will be a
matter of serious concern to the US.
5. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 095 perceived the presence of two target
structures described as a small structure and a large structure.
They are located in an open, flat, gently rolling area. The
principal target structure, the larger of the two, was a long,
low structure with slightly curved angles at the side. Although
basically durable in nature, the structure gave one the
appearance of a prefabricated building with perceptible,
horizontal lines across the top. Viewer 095 described the target
structure as a "functional building" equipped with appropriate
technical equipment used to monitor and record data )as in a
weather station). The interior of the structure was comprised of
a large room used for personnel and storage, a sec~~nd and side
room, and an "equipment room" unable to be accessed from the
outside. The floor seemed to curve into the wall (as if made of
one piece). Boxes, pipes and furniture were observed in the main
room; functionally-related, electronic equipment was stored in
the so-called equipment room. Intermittent loud sounds
interrupted the continuing droning sound of other equipment. The
presence of two personnel were observed; they were responsible
for reading meters, maintaining accurate records, and preparing
reports.
6. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 099 described the target area as a large
tract of land comprised of numerous structures in a military
defense plant atmosphere. The target structure was long,

horizontal, cylindrical, squat, "pod-like with ribs". It was
made of a thin, whitish-grey, plastic-appearing material (See TAB
D). Technicians confined mainly to the west side of the
structure and working under strict, controlled conditions
appeared involved in monitoring and recording data related to the
testing of a surface coating described merely as "wet and
sticky." The surface coating appeared related to the principles
of aerodynamics.
