SUBJECT: SUN STREAK Operational Report - ProJect 8717 (U)
1. (S/NF/SK) During the period of 10 December 1987 to 12
January 1988, five remote viewers conducted 19 sessions in an
effort to access and describe new target structures described by
overhead photography at the site.
2. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 003 perceived the target as comprised of
three large, dark, military-related structures currently under
construction in a flat, cold, and open area. The general target
area was in proximity to a body of water. Sketches representing
overhead views of the target site are at TAB A and TAB B,
respectively. The construction design of the target structures
appeared to be arranged in square patterns of hard material such
as cement. Of the three structures under construction, two
appeared functionally important. The objective of the these two
important structures seemed related to the concept of an
"electro-magnetic spectrum", and a perceived ability to track
space vehicles and "other orbital Junk." An object described as
cylindrically- shaped, smooth, and glossy, seemed functionally
related to the target structures (See TAB C).
3. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 011 described the target as a large, tall
structure under construction and shaped in a horseshoe
configuration on one side and perceptibly angular on the other.
Sketches representing side views and overhead views of the target
structure are at TABS D through F, inclusively. The Target
structure is being built to receive electronic signals, emanating
from a round cylindrically shaped object (TAB G). The object
itself appears to be orbiting in space or seems associated with
another object in space. The target site reminded 011 of a
previous intelligence target associated with an ABM "site and
radar emplacements." A conceptual sketch representing the
disposition of the target site is at TAB H.

4. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 079 described the target as comprised of two
tall, circular-shaped, tapering structures under construction.
The construction material consisted of cement squares that gave
the structures an overall, tiled appearance. Overview sketches
of the target structures are at TAB I; side views are at TAB J
and TAB K. The first structure identified by the presence of a
square roof, was empty. The second structure housed a tall
slender, silvery object that appeared to be as high as the
structure itself. A circular-shaped apparatus (TAB L) sat on top
of the silvery object; it had the ability of executing both
rotational and sweeping movements. The target structures were
functionally related to the receipt and recording of data related
to "determining measurements." Their intended use seemed related
to the tracking of vehicles in space. The overall target area
consisted of a large city and a body of water. A byzantine-type
architecture seemed to predominate among the buildings observed
within the city.
5. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 018 perceived the target area as a large,
flat expanse of land (TAB M) where the presence of a series of
widely-spaced buildings (TAB N) was observed. Viewer 018
perceived the presence of a cone and a cylindrically-shaped
object centered within a bowl-shaped apparatus and located at the
apex of target structure. A slanted rectangular object was
located above the bowl-shaped apparatus. Representative sketches
are at TAB 0. The second target structure housed machinery; and
the third structure was the size of a large moving van with pipes
and reflective material, like aluminum foil. The concept of
space-related "communications" appeared directly related to the
structures under construction.
6. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 095 described the target as a series of
"interconnected structures under construction" and readily
identifiable by the presence of a thin and flimsy appearing "dome
at the apex of the structures. The domes were used to conceal
"angular and rectangular" objects located within the target
structures. Workers in the target area were observed handling
and sliding long objects into place.
7. (S/NF/SK) COMMENTS: Correlation among viewers seems to
predicate the presence of two important structures at the target
site located in a generally flat expanse of land near a city and
a body of water. At TAB P is a Summary of Information (SOI) that
incorporates correlative data that is responsive to the tasking.
The SOI is submitted for consideration as a conservative type
response to the customer.
