MEMORANDUM FOR THE ASSISTANT DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR SCIENTIFIC AND
TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE
SUBJECT: SUN STREAK Operational Report - PROJECT N-1 (U)
1. (S/NF/SK) During the period of 16 August 1987 to 29
September 1987 inclusively, four remote viewers conducted eleven
(11) sessions to determine their ability to identify the
substantial content of a document. As an ancillary mission, the
remote viewers were tasked to provide sufficient descriptive data
of manmade and natural geographical features that would allow far
an analytical determination to be made of the exact location of
the target site. In this instance, the document was stored in a
container located in a cubicle in the area known as DT-5 of the
Defense Intelligence Analysis Center (DIAC).
a. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 003 described the target site as a
large, flat-sided building with a predominance of structures that
were square, rectangular, and brownish-green in appearance. The
structure was perceived as a government building with established
visitor control points. Viewer 003 stated, "The setting reminds
one of the DIAC." The cover of the target document had a red
background, odd-shaped yellow and black lettering, and a border.
The document date was perceived as being 17 February 1987. The
word "organization" appeared in the title; and, the letters "L,
I, N, E, seemed identifiable. A listing of numbers in rows with
codes reminiscent of a series of BE numbers, was associated with
the content. The subject matter dealt alternatingly with arms
control, technical aspects of weaponry, engineering constraints,
design capabilities and strategic considerations. Appendices and
tabs were part of the document. The first section of the
document provided guidance, outlined responsibilities and

emphasized the need far safeguarding the information contained
therein. Access was granted to select groups of personnel having
divergent occupational (professional) responsibilities. The
document was a synthesis of data compiled from various outside
sources. It identified organizational tasks, "like an OB (Order
of Battle) list," and outlined assets, quantities, limits and
purposes. The document was arranged in about five groupings
based on "type" starting "with the least capable" and ending with
"the most capable." The concept of weaponry seemed to be a
dominant theme in the document. The related use of large
vehicles was also substantially associated with the document.
Viewer 003 's post-session summaries are at TAB A. Viewer 003 's
conceptual drawings of the target site are at TAB B.
b. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 011 described the target site as being
located on the upper level, second or third floor, of an office
area characterized by the presence of "cubicles, desks, work
areas" in a building "like Building 213 (located at the US Navy
Yard) or the DIAC." The cover of the document was reddish-brown
with a black harder. Substantially, the document dealt with
symbols associated with mathematical concepts and formulas along
with listings related to strategic arms and targets. It had the
conceptual flavor of a computer printout. The document was
viewed as controversial in that it caused misunderstanding
between the scientific elements and the political elements of an
organization. There appeared to be two distinct parts to the
document. The first portion was theoretical in nature while the
second part provided mathematical ,justification in support of the
theory. Basically, the document dealt with a material designed
to trap energy. The concepts of a crystal structure, use of
frequencies, perceptions of vibrations and scattering all
appeared germane to the basic tenor of the document. There was
evidence of a surface material bonded by a crystal structure
acting in the manner of a two-way mirror used to absorb and
scatter energy (throughout the material) through the use of '"rod-
like inclusions." A gray, smooth, shiny, long, round, metallic,
cylindrical object is functionally associated with the theory
espoused by the document. Viewer 011's post-session summaries
are at TAB G. Viewer O11's conceptual drawings of the target
site and document content are at TAB D.
c. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 018 described the target site as a
large, "walled-in", building resembling an art gallery replete
with drawings and pictures on a wall. Well-dressed persons were
observed milling about; and furniture was located in the middle
of the room. The notion that the document was directly related
to biological warfare persisted throughout both sessions
conducted by 018. The document had a maroon cover and it was
dated 8 April of an undetermined year. The document was
substantially related to the effects of a high altitude burst of
defoliants sent aloft by a missile. Imagery of wilted
vegetation, the presence of a black, microscopic crystal (formed)
material that was greasy to the touch, seemed persistently
associated with the concept of a biological warfare scenario.

Incongruously, within this somewhat dismal scenario, the presence
of pastoral green fields, rolling hills and brooks seemed
conceptually and substantially associated with the document.
Viewer 018's post-session summaries are at TAB E.
d. fS/NF/SK) Viewer 079 described the target site as a
dark, glassy, curvy, modern-appearing structure located in a
setting of low rolling hills amid interspersed fences and parking
areas. The reception area within the building had long hallways,
high ceilings, and displayed historical, representational
paintings executed against a predominantly blue-colored
background. The document was maintained in a second area
characterized by much lower ceilings. Work of a scientific
nature was conducted in this second area, the actual target site.
The document was kept hidden (stared) in "a regular place - as if
someone could forget (overlook the fact) it was there." It was
sealed with a special gold seal. The document was brown and
black in appearance and it was dated "1982." Substantially the
document dealt with such concepts as energy, phases of
implementation, and the notion of suspense dates and required
responses. Small circles and black print were noted on the
cover. Efforts to identify the document by its title resulted in
the surfacing of the following letters: A. R. M. T. ....5. H.
The classification was perceived as, "S. N. F. - Cade Word."
Letters related to the Code Word appeared as being "S. H. ~. P.
P. ....R. E.." In a second and subsequent session, Viewer 079
described the essence of the document as being directly related
to the capture and storage of "light and energy" in "very small
cubes" (crystals). Two principles appeared to be involved, the
first was described as an "eye to eye principle" and that of
transparency with a "reversing" effect. {Note - Viewer insisted
on the use of the word "reversing" as opposed to "reflecting"}.
Viewer 079 's post-session summaries are at TAB F.
2. (S/NF/SK) COMMENTS: All four viewers appeared to quickly
and readily access the DIAC as the target site where the document
was stored. It seemed as if the viewers benefitted from an
experiential factor that seemed to facilitate this access.
Suggest target storage sites other than the DIAC be considered
in subsequent projects of this nature.
