2. REMARKS: THE SILO FACING, 112 METERS NORTHEAST OF THE ORIGINAL
SILO, HAS AN OUTER DIAMETER OF APPROXIMATELY 13 METERS,
IDENTICAL TO THAT OF THE FIRST SILO (GRAPHIC 2). THE INNER
DIAMETER CANNOT BE DETERMINED. THE INITIAL EXCAVATION OF THIS

AREA CONSISTING OF AT LEAST EIGHT HOUSETRAILERS IS NORTHWEST OF

NPIC PEG (3/841
TWO CIRCULAR AREAS, SPACED 100 METERS APART, HAVE BEEN GRADED
APPROXIMATELY 1 NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF THE SILOS. A SWATH HAS
BEEN CLEARED OF TREES FROM THE TWO SILOS TO THE CIRCULAR
CLEARED AREAS. ALTHOUGH NO EXCAVATING ACTIVITY HAS BEEN
OBSERVED IN THE CIRCULAR AREAS, THE CLEARING OF A SWATH TO THEM
FROM THE SILOS SUGGESTS MISSILE-ASSOCIATED CONSTRUCTION IN THIS
AREA. (SWN)
