concerning
tasked during

a request
for
information
four separate SUN STREAK sources were
to
23 December
1986.

(S/SK/WNINTEL)
The following
is provided
as
raw,
unevaluated
information.
These sources
have provided reliable
information
in
the past
but
the veracity of this data cannot
be established by
this office
due
to the
lack
of sufficient target background
data.
a.
(S/SK/WNINTEL)
Source #00^ was
interviewed twice and
stated substantially as follows:
Source's first opinion
of
the
si te
was that the_sjjtg
involved
a
wi de open,
austere_.area,
with
witn
a window and
a person observing.
Tr^^;
individual
was observing an ex^edmentorpro^ect
,
and was
satisfied that things
had progressecT^accora^ig
to
plan.
Design modifications
were
involved,
and evaluation
of
:•
parameters
and effects were being conducted.
The Project
involved
a
long,
shiny,
smooth,
cylindrical
object .

There was
a sense
that initially the
object
was subject
to some specific sort

which at
a given point ceased,

location
in
another
flat,
austere
area,
with
the object
intact.
Something seemed
to
be
able
to lengthen
or
abbreviate
the
length
of
time
of movement
of
the object
the object
still
must
inevitably come
down.
The obje ct
seemed
to
be
hollow,
enclosing something,
and suggested
smell
of "the
air
inside
^rcraft.
Thesite also
suggested some
sort
of Irocket^ or rocket
but
the
Source's second opinion
of
the
site
was
that
the site
involved
a n event composed
of
stages:
planning:
preparation;
conduct;
an d evaluatio n.
"During
the
course
of
conduct
oi
t"he" pTO J dCt"j^a moving object received
input which
was
informational
in nature and directed,
controlled,
and
verified status
,
having something
to
do with
p arameter s
,
’'supervising’'
and
a strict
"performance
envelope.
After
the first
part,
when
impetus
f or
tne ooject was no
longer
present,
the
information flow reversed;
output
involved
response/reporting.
Pe riodic
inpu t during second part
effected attitude,
perhaps course
or orientation.
The
entire project
had the sense
of
"quasi-legal ity
, "
as
if
people
at
the
site
felt
the activity would
be frowned
on
by
some third party
if
it should become cognizant
of
it;
that
it
would evoke
a
f eeling
of betrayal
or unfabrness
,
as
if
the activity
is occurTS^even
though
the instigators said
it wouldn't
upon
mutual
agreement.
But
the people
involved
felt
the necessity to conduct
it neverthel ess
:
i.e.,
"the
ends
justify the means."
No further
information
was
provided.
b.
(S/SK/WNINTEL)
Source #018
was
( interviewed twice and
stated substantial ly as
follows:
Source's first opinion
of
the site
was
that
the site
was
a
wi de
open^__sjpac^n3us^
.
There
was
a
1 arge structure
at "TTu=>s1Hbewh
it.
Struts seemed
to
be
incorporated
into the
dome.
Source
felt that
the
site
was
inactive
at
the time
of the
interview but
that
in
the
past
an
explosion
took
place^wilhin the_lar ge.
domed structure.
This explosion
did not
result
in
the destruction
of the
structure.
Source's second opinion
of the site,
having been asked
to
examine
a point
in
time
of activity at
the
site,
was
that
an
object
at
the site seemed to suddenly radiat e outward
pressur e
.
This pressure did not exist *T"mmS?liately
afterwards.
The object then started toward
a dormant stage
but
was
still
active.
This
did not
seem
like
a sudden explosion, bu^nK^tr^xplosTon
in slow
jjg^i^on.
Some
time shortly after
the slow explosion,
site carried
an
impression
of
things falling
inwar d.
Before
the slow explosion,
the site
had~a very

No further

and
was unable
to provide
any information which could
be construed to
be relevant
to the tasking
at

d.
(S/SK/WNINTEL)
Source
#101
was
interviewed twice
and
stated substantial ly as
follows:
Sources first opinion
oT
the site was
that
the site
involved
a
stjudy inside
a
tgil 1
,
five
or six story,
bu ilding with
a
bendor right angle
in
the
middle.
The concept
of study was
described^in various terms
including:
(perplexing,
a
Gordion 's Knot
which has
no beginning and
no
end,
a study to
Jfacilitate something
else,
and the concept
of
>redictabi 1 ity)
This study had been going on
for quite
a
while
with
no end
in
sight.
There
were,
however,
certain
milestones
and suspenses
which must
be
met.
Sources second opinion
of
the site
,
after having been asked
to elaborate
on
his first
impressions,
was that
inside
the
large building there
was
a secure area with double doors
and
closed circuit
TV.
In
this area^the?e were
four
or five
people
in
a working group
as opposed
to
a decision making
group,
al thougTT^CHe
two functions
tended
to blend together.
There
were
two main characters.
One
was about
years
old,
balding,
thin,
short almost elfin
in appearance.
He
was
very enthusiastic with
a tremendous amount
of energy.
A
second man
was
large,
fat and
in his
fifties.
He was very
deliberate and does not become excited and cannot
be rushed
into anything.
All
the men here were civilians,
although
there was
a
mi li^ar^^J^vor
group.
The study
was composed oT^nany^ep a^St e
studies,
each
a complete
entity unto
itself.
These separaT? studies
were brought
together
here.
Some
of these studies
were prepared
in
_d( i f Cerent
languages.
The groundwork
for this study/pro ject
has been going
on
for
a considerable period
of
time.
In the
room where
the
men
were
located there
was
a table and
on
the
table there
was
a box
like
device.

This
light
was extremely bright
and the men
in
the
room
appeared
to
be wearing darkened glasses or goggles while
viewing
it.
The
light seemed to
be pouring from the
box
while
at
the
same time being v^cuume^rattracted strongly
back
into the box as though
a ‘ToaTo^object^ were
trying
to
escaoe
four
or five gravities.
Words used to describe
the
effect of the
light
included:
pu rifying,
filterin g,
purgatory,
a parallel
to plastic and smoothing.
