PROJECT 8809 INTERIM REPORT: Source descriptions and activities
`associated with the site
SG1A
Source 011: Describes a very tall, massive, windowless structure
"like a blockhouse." This structure has a single set of large,
thick, steel doors through which both vehicles and personnel may
enter and leave. Heavy security fences and a paved perimeter are
present around the structure's perimeter. Ideas associated with
the site's function are 'SDI' and 'command and control,'
'antennas,' and 'telemetry.' (See accompanying detailed
perceptual sketches, also).
Source 018: Describes a cluster of structures, including a tall
structure which appears to be an antenna that radiates a very
large amount of energy. Two other structures are connected via
underground 'pipes' to this antenna. Energy, in some form, is
sent from one structure through a pipe to the antenna, and
'information' flows from the antenna to the other structure.
Ideas associated with the site center around 'command and
control' and 'continuous communications.' (See accompanying site
layout sketches, also).
Source 095: Describes an open area with several structures
present. One structure is massive and high, like a huge
'blockhouse' and, connected with it, is the idea of 'roll out' of
very large assemblies. The assemblies themselves are associated
SG1A with troops wearing black uniforms. There are several long,
buried o`~onduits'pr 'cables' in the area, one of which is
connectet_a a--structure containing 'condensed, contained energy'
(like a "tokamak"). Another structure has a geometry similar to
the Ideas associated with
this site are 'concealment and secreo
