During the period
of
September
1987
to
October
1987
inclusively,
f^ur remote viewers conducted
sessions
in
an effort to describe
a facility
of
US
intelligence
interest
at
1284/6712,
the nature
of
the activity taking place
at
the
facility,
and
the manner
in which
this activity
is
accomp 1 i shed
.
a.
(S/NF/SK)
Viewer
079 described
the target site
as being
located
in
a somewhat round and U-shaped,
open,
and secure area
situated near
a
large body of water
in
the vicinity of
brown,
sloping hills.
A city was
located nearby.
The target structure
resembled
an
old,
red-brick building having
a distinctive
facade
of
large,
dark,
windows.
The nearby presence
of
a seagoing
vessel
was
noted.
Viewer
079 .described and sketched the presence
of
a wheel-type apparatus
(TAB
A:/ considered
of high functional
significance.
{A similar apparatus
was described and sketched by
Viewer 003.}
Spherical-devices
(TAB
B)
,
capable
of being raised
or
lowered,
were
intrinsically related
to
the ongoing activity.
Men
wore
baggy,
protective clothing and protective eyeglasses
while working
in
the target building.
The three spheres
contained
a
wet,
thick,
heavy,
foamy,
liquid considered dangerous
and toxic
upon exposure.
Viewer 079 ended one session with the
statement,
"the contents
(end product)
reminded
me
of
gas.
The
final
product
was stored
in
long,
dark,
padded,
and narrow
shelves.
Ultimately,
it
will
be sprayed under considerable
pressure and
in great quantities
in
a manner somehow related to
the concept
of
"growth and planting.” Viewer summaries dated

Viewer
Oil
described
the target building
as
a
tall,
angular,
vertical,
grey-white appearing structure
located
in
a predominantly level
area
with
a hard surface.
The pungent
odor
of
an unidentified chemical
permeated
the
area.
The
perceived presence
of
an
acute sterile environment,
a
laboratory,
microscopes,
glass
rods
with cultures,
were
indicative
of
activities normally associated with medical
or biological
fields
of
endeavor.
The end-product
leaves
the target
location
by truck
and
is subsequently transported by ship.
Upon arrival
at
an
intermediate destination,
the end-product
is again transported by
truck
to
its
final
destination,
a secure area comprised
of
long,
single story buildings
(TAB
D)
.
The end product
is stored
in
ribbed cylinders
(TAB
E)
.
This
final
product
is comprised
of
a
mixture
of
liquid gas
and
a
fine powdery substance described
as
oily,
slippery,
like graphite,
yet resembling talcum powder.
The
raw material
is
a hard,
lumpy,
clay-like
mineral.
Two other
ingredients used
in
the process
include
a
gray,
metallic powdery
substance
and
a
liquid that appears
to
be
a synthetic chemical
that
is
used
as
a highly volatile solvent*
In
a subsequent
session,
Viewer
Oil
perceived the end-product
as being
transported from the secure area
in
a
large white
van equipped
with shelves and
a heavy gauge wire-mesh divider.
The
final
product consists
of
a somewhat
firm,
yet powdery substance
that
is
cyl indr ical ly shaped
in
the form of
small,
heavy pellets

At
the very outset
of
his
initial
session,
Viewer
018
f s attention
was quickly and forcefully focused
on
a
"pile
of grey,
powdery substance” having
a
sour,
bitter,
taste
and stored
in
a
large seemingly,
empty room.
The target
site
was
located
in
the near vicinity of
a port/dock
area.
Viewer
018
perceived
the presence
of two structures.
The first
was
a
tall
building
of
ribbed,
greenish fluted metal
constr uc t i on .
A
second,
smaller structure
was observed nearby.
A ship and
a
conveyor belt
were observed
in
the
area.
The powdery substance
was processed
into
a greenish,
appearing substance
and
subsequently stored
in cylindrical
containers designed to cushion
the product from shock.
The substance
was normally transported
by truck
and stored
in
"run-down buildings
that resembled quonset
huts.”
Ultimately,
the substance was fired
in
”a
line
c3f
tall
trees”
in
an area
located
in the vicinity of
the storage
site.

Viewer
003 perceived the target structure
as
being
located
in
a
wide,
sloping,
open area bordered by
a metal
fence
and wooded area with nearby canal
or stream
(TAB
I).
The
presence
of flood gates was also noted.
The
main structure made
of concrete/cement,
resembled
a bunker.
Doors
to this building
were recessed
in
metal.
There was
an apparent array of pipes
protruding from
a cement courtyard and used
as conduits
for
an
existing ventilation
or electrical
systems.

second
building,
two or three stories
high,
was
also noted
in
the
target
area.
Access
to this building
was gained through
an
underground
tunnel.
The principal
activity was
technical
in
nature and
involved
the combining
of substances
for
the
production
of
a new end—product.
Direct
human contact with this
end product could
be harmful.
The English
language
was
not
spoken
at
this establishment.
An
effective
implementation
of
stringent security procedures was
in
evidence.
There
was
a
distinct presence
of
a technically oriented
"cooling area”
and
a
"packaging area.”
The end-product
was noxious,
life threatening
and stored
in
metal
containers.
The target site
was
one
of very
few such similar
sites
in existence.
Viewer
had
a post-session
impression
of
a wheel— line
rounded device
(TAB
J)
utilized under
a thick
and protective,
transparent
shielding.
It consisted
of
two glass
tubes shaped
like hourglasses,
fixed
at
right
angles
and
joined
in
the center
where
internal
and
intense
light pulses
were active.
In
a subsequent
session,
Viewer 003
determined and
described the presence
of
a
large stainless
steel
and technical
apparatus
located
in
a white/grey,
rectangular structure.
Related drawings
are
at TAB
K.
Operational
activity consisted
of
condensing,
containing,
filtering.
Viewer
003
added,
"Titration,
catalysis,
retorts
and pressure may be
involved.”
Extremes
of
cool
and hot temperatures
were considered essential
to the
process.
The technology
is considered
a
"breakthrough
procedure.”
Caustic,
corrosive,
noxious,
hazardous substances,
along with the concept
of fermentation are procedural ly involved
and require special handling and safeguards.
The end-product
is
a highly dangerous substance;
it
is denser than
a normal
gaseous
substance,
yet
less dense
than
a solid or
liquid,
somewhat
of
a
"gelatinous” substance.
Three substances
are combined
to produce
the final
product.
The
first
is
cool
and sharp,
the second
is
benign and flat,
somewhat
inert
and neutral
in temperature,
while
the third substance
is
warm,
brownish,
soupy,
and caustic.
The
mixture
of these three substances causes
a curdling,
a sense
of
"sloughing
off. ”
The wearing
of protective clothing
is
associated with the processing and the
use
of
the substance.
The
final
product
is sprayed and
provides
a filmy coating that
adheres
to hard surfaces so as
to form
a chemical
barrier.
"Mi cr on— s i z i ng ” appears
to play an
important
part
in
the
procedure.
A conceptual
drawing
of the apparatus
utilized
as
a
spraying vehicle
is
