(S/NF/SK) During the period of 16 August 1987 to 29 september 1987 inclusively, four remote viewers conducted eleven (11) sessions to determine their ability to identify the substantial content of a document. Ags an ancillary mission, the remote viewers were tasked to provide sufficient descriptive data of manmade and natural geographical features that would allow for an analytical determination to be made of the exact location of the target site. In this instance, the document was stored in a container located in a cubicle in the area known as DT-5 of the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center (DIAC). a. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 003 described the target site ag a large, flat-sided building with a predominance of structures that were square, rectangular, and brownish-green in appearance. The structure was perceived as a government building with established visitor control points. Viewer 003 stated, "The setting reminds one of the DIAC.” The cover of the target document had a red background, odd-shaped yellow and black lettering, and a border. The document date was perceived as being 17 February 1987. The word "organization” appeared in the title; and, the letters "L, I, N, E, seemed identifiable. A listing of numbers in rows with codes reminiscent of a series of BE numbers, was associated with the content. The subject matter dealt alternatingly with arms control, technical aspecta of weaponry, engineering constraints, design capabilities and strategic considerations. Appendices and tabs were part of the document. The first section of the document provided guidance, outlined responsibilities and WARNING NOTICE: SENSITIVE INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AND METHODS INVOLVED HANDLE VIA SKEET CHANNELS ONLY SPECIAL ACCESS REQUIRED CLASSIFIED BY: DIA, DT DECLASSIFY BY: OADR Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003700710003-1

Access was granted to select groups of personnel having divergent occupational (professional) responsibilities. The document was a synthesis of data compiled from various outside sources. It identified organizational tasks, "like an OB (Order of Battle) list,” and outlined assets, quantities, limits and purposes. The document was arranged in about five groupings based on "type” starting "with the least capable” and ending with “the most capable.” The concept of weaponry seemed to be a dominant theme in the document. The related use of large vehicles was also substantially associated with the document. Viewer 003’s post-session summaries are at TAB A. Viewer 003’s conceptual drawings of the target site are at TAB B. b. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 011 described the target site as being located on the upper level, second or third floor, of an office area characterized by the presence of “cubicles, desks, work areas” in a building “like Building 213 (located at the US Navy Yard) or the DIAC.” The cover of the document was reddish-brown with a black border. Substantially, the document dealt with symbols associated with mathematical concepts and formulas along with listings related to strategic arms and targets. It had the conceptual flavor of a computer printout. The document was viewed as controversial in that it caused misunderstanding between the scientific elements and the political elements of an organization. There appeared to be two distinct parts to the document. The first portion was theoretical in nature while the second part provided mathematical justification in support of the theory. Basically, the document dealt with a material designed to trap energy. The concepts of a crystal structure, use of frequencies, perceptions of vibrations and scattering all appeared germane to the basic tenor of the document. There was evidence of a surface material bonded by a crystal structure acting in the manner of a two-way mirror used to absorb and scatter energy (throughout the material) through the use of “rod- like inclusions.” A gray, smooth, shiny, long, round, metallic, cylindrical object is functionally associated with the theory espoused by the document. Viewer 011’s post-session summaries are at TAB C. Viewer O11'’s conceptual drawings of the target site and document content are at TAB D. c. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 018 described the target site as a large, "“walled-in”, building resembling an art gallery replete with drawings and pictures on a wall. Well-dressed persons were observed milling about; and furniture was located in the middle of the room. The notion that the document was directly related to biological warfare persisted throughout both sessions conducted by 018. The document had a maroon cover and it was dated 8 April of an undetermined year. The document was substantially related to the effects of a high altitude burst of defoliants sent aloft by a missile. Imagery of wilted vegetation, the presence of a black, microscopic crystal (formed) material that was greasy to the touch, seemed persistently associated with the concept of a biological warfare scenario.
