MEMORANDUM FOR DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL
RESEARCH
SUBJECT: Sun Streak Operational Report - 8801 (U)
1. (S/NF/SK) During the period of 9 February 1988 - 25 March
1988, five remote viewers conducted a total of 12 sessions in an
effort to describe the content of a building of possible
intelligence interest identified by a copy of overhead
photography bearing Number 88-1. The results of this effort
follows below.
2. (S/NF/SK) Source 003 described the target structur as a
large, multi-storied building with a flat roof. The construction
and testing of prototypes in a scientific, research and'
development mode are pursued here. Source described an object of
special intelligence interest as a cylindrically-shaped, somewhat
tapered, and bronzed-colored object used to protect and house an
internal component that spins at a high rate of speed. The
device seemed related to the control and development of "powerful
forces" associated with spiralling and whirring sounds. See
sketch at TAB A. The presence of a donut-shaped ring appeared
related to this process. The ring seemed composed of composite
materials described as hard like metal, non-reactive in nature,
laminated and highly durable. See sketch at TAB B.
Additionally, a sort of metallic amalgam of non traditional
composition (amino-fluoro-nitrate) is associated with this
device. If successful, the overall results will enhance the host
country's industrial capabilities. In a separate and second
session, Viewer 003 perceived the work at this location~as being
theoretical and prototype-oriented, a scientific and research
center with a potential to`favorably impact on host country
communications, military capabilities, and economy.

3. (S/NF/SK) Source 079 identified the target as a multi-
storied structure (TAB C) located in Military District VI of the
Soviet Union. Activities within the target structure were
related to research and development (R&D) efforts that were of
benefit to Soviet intelligence involving a "new means of
receiving intelligence information". Associated with this
process is a small box that dealt with "radio wave theory" and
the resultant interaction of "radiation particles". The end
result seemed related to the concept of signals intelligence; the
notable absence of antennas in this process appeared incongruous.
Efforts within this building appeared dedicated to the pursuit of
an R&D activity rather than to production . Other studies
pursued within the target structure were related to the concept
of electronics. Eventually, the work will be used to update
sophisticated Soviet weaponry. Raw concepts associated with
ongoing activities within this establishment were expressed as
follows: " Boxing In, Squaring In, Mass Communication, and
Electronic Radiation."
4. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 095 described the target as a tall, multi-
storied structure housing interior components (rooms) of various
heights. People are functionally organized into various
sections; some are highly and scientifically specialized. All
are involved in the construction and assembly of something quite
special (a prototype). Once assembled in a "pod" or casing
configuration, the component measures about two feet in length
and about fifteen to eighteen 'inches in width. See.sketch at Tab
D. It is a multidimensional, electronic device functionally
dependent upon the concepts of "simultaneity and speed." It
represents an upgrade of an existing'system and can be utilized
in many systems much in the manner of a computer'chip. The
concept of "optical computing" appeared associated with the
component. The overall, responsible program manager is a middle-
aged, blonde haired, meticulous, brilliant, and highly
egotistical scientist. His approval (or lack of approval) on all
facets of management can readily impede or accelerate the
progress of the project.
5. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 099 described the key, target structure as
a large, multi-storied, boxy-appearing building with clean-cut
lines and few windows. See TAB E. Many workers were observed as
occupying the tar et building and they appeared preoccupied with
a variety of special projects that were related to "applied
research and development". Viewer compared the atmosphere that
one might find in a Soviet Design Bureau. An overhead perception
of the general target site is at TAB F. Activity within the
target structure involves the fabrication and assembly of
electronic component boxes amid the presence of bundles of
wiring. Completi n of the assembly is related to a "burnished-
colored, metallic tube, open-ended on one end and energizing a
fan-like device a the other." (See TAB G) The device emits a
high pitched sound, produces energy and heat, and appears
conceptually related to radio frequencies.

6. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 018 described the target as a four or five
story building of masonry construction having a flat roof and
straight sides; it was noticeably the tallest structures found in
the immediate target area. See Tab H. The interior of the
building appeared cluttered and even "Junky looking." A long
outside porch with a portico-type walkway with arches was located
along one side of the building. See Tab I. Viewer 018 focused
on one item of specific interest and described as a foam-lined
box containing an item that was disassembled and consisted of
small, black, shiny parts, and other, somewhat larger dark brown
parts. The concept of optics appeared related to the parts of
interest.
7. (S/NF/SK) At TAB J is a brief Summary of Information (SOI)
reflecting those areas of correlation independently surfaced by
the remote viewers during the course of their sessions in this
project. The SOI is recommended for use for dissemination to the
customers.
