1. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Source 101 originally described the target
building as a rectangular, ten-story building constructed among
two other tall buildings in an area where -Structionefforts
remain continuing. Openings on top of the building were
observed. The structure had a sloping down effect and seemed
designed to accommodate a hard, central, core (not further

at two or three years from date.

a tall, rectangular, flat-topped, structure made of masonry
concrete. Windows were located at the top of the building, but
no windows were observed close to the ground. There was a large,
open area that seemed to dominate the structure. The building
appeared to be -Ao `iated with! the impression of ';Aerospace".

as a huge structure located among a cluster of buildings situated
in a barren, isolated area. The presence of a building shaped
