For the past few minutes now you've been study-
ing a photograph. Focus your attention now on

Relax and concentrate. Describe the area to

that I saw looked American although I don't know
what anyone looks like who's there. Expression-
less. One fellow seems to be about 30 to 35
with a moustache, big moustache, dark hair.
#66: Tell me about the areas where these people
are located.
#39: Yeah. I'm getting an awful lot of clutter.
I . . Its as though I'm seeing these faces
superimposed over a huge crowd of people.

if you can't focus more clearly.

room. The paneling is in squares.
There looks to be on the wall some sort of a

an oval piece. Its surrounded by very ornate
gilding, like a gold. . . framework.

You know, wood. Either wood paneling or wood
walls, beautiful exposed type wood.
I'm getting flashing images of Persian rugs.

Move through the building searching for people.

I ?15 I see what appears to be one guy moving around.
I'm sure he's not a hostage.

he was . . like . . I could be conjuring this

#49: There was one guy. He had . . . You know, I was

seemed intent on planning something or doing
something.
#66: Okay.
#49: I can see, I think, rows of people sleeping like.
Again, you know, . . it seems like they're all

are.
PAUSE
#66: Is the room lit?
#49: No.
PAUSE
I can't tell.
#66: Okay.

very long and narrow. It looks like there are
two . . . rows of people in the sleeping positio
and they're very, I mean there's only about two
feet between the feet of one and the head of the
Q one down from him. Or across from him, whateve

people in this one room. I can't tell if
there's activity or not.
#66: How many people are there?

as opposed to being on your left or right.

nervous.

I also think that this room is upstairs. At
least one flight of stairs.
#66: Tell me about the imagery that developed into
that decision.
#49: Just now?

to program my mind-to go in a door of the build-

#66: Okay.
Is there anything you feel you'd like to add
about the impressions that you've had before
we try to draw some of the things?
#49: 1 think there are some people up and about.
But I don't think there are very many.
I think there's some kind of planning going
on. How major it is, I don't know.
I base that largely on that one image that
I seem to have gotten.
There doesn't seem to be any large scale effort
or any kind. . going on.
I think a lot of the place is darkened.--The
lights are out.
#66: Okay.
Any further comments about the room, this large
room that you've told meabout.
#49: Nothing seems to stand out except that its a
long, it seems to be a long, narrowish room.

He was like away from that door looking towards

know, stretched out like that.

There was a leather couch at one end. . . at the

I didn't see anything else in the room. It

Just really close together. All along the whole
width or length of the room. That's what I saw.
I was sure these people were sleeping. I'm sure
they were. The room seemed darkened.
Then the hallway, again, the hallway that led to
it was very narrow. Seemed unusually narrow for
a hallway to me. Maybe four feet; five feet. I'm
not terribly good at dimensions. It was, let's
say narrow. And, the door, that went into this
room was at the end and it would be facing you
at the end rather than on the side like that.

Okay. So you perceived it obviously to be a

of the hall.

#49:
Yeah. And it looked like there was a carpet.

along this hallway.
I didn't see, much more than that.
Oh, it was darkened. But you could see.

The guy was . . seemed to be standing like right
around in here somewhere. He had on this white
kind of flowing thing like a white sort of full
sleeve, like tied in with a rope or something
here. It seemed like he was standing like that.
Holding onto a bar of some kind. I sort of think
it might have been - I don't know why - but there
would be like a waist high bar.

#49: Well, its nothing really dramatic. Its really
funny. One guy around in here some where, its
as though he was sleeping and he was looking up
like this a couple of times as though he'd been
awakened. Definitely looking this way, you
know, like he was startled or awakened by some-
thing.

#66: Okay.
#49: The other one was an older fellow - sort of looked

say in his 50's maybe. It was as though all of a
sudden I saw him, you know, focused on him and it
was like he had sat bold upright. (Not audible)

#49: That's interesting. But he had glasses on and if
he had just been awakened, he definitely had glasses
on. But he had black rim glasses. And .I just caught
him (not audible).
#66: Could you recognize these people if shown a
picture?
#49: I would recognize the fellow with the glasses. I
might recognize the guy who looked up. He looked
like a lot of guys of that age group. I would
definitely recognize that one I saw at the very
beginning. But I just got a flash of his face.
#66: Okay.

people . . .

Could have been.

flight.

you expand on that at all? Why you felt that way.

I saw. . . at a table, lot of light, arid he was
