(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 #003 was interviewed twice and stated substantially as follows: , Source’s first opinion of the site was that the site involved a wide open, austere area, with a low, solid structure with a window and a person observing. This individual was observing an experiment or project, and was satisfied that things had progressed according to plan. Design modifications were involved, and evaluation of 2 parameters and effects were being conducted. The Project involved a long, shiny, smooth, cylindrical object. Rapid vertical movement for a long distance was involved, which at a point became a falling down and around. There was a sense that initially the object was subject to some specific sort of impetus, which at a given point ceased, followed by skipping, bumping, heat, shaking, whistling, and controlled descending--not falling--which culminated at a predetermined WARNING NOTICE: SENSITIVE INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AND METHODS. “a INVOLVED HANDLE VIA SKEET CHANNELS ONLY SPECIAL ACCESS REQUIRED CLASSIFIED BY: DIA-DT DECLASSIFY: OADR 1 OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10 Approved For Release 2002/11/19: C a 1-80) SEF DE i GSA FPMR (41 CFR) 101-11.6 © BO1O-114 ee amma m)..)D6dhUw#HE 4979 6UCOUTFY

Something seemed to be able to lengthen or abbreviate the length of time of movement of the object, but the object still must inevitably come down. The object seemed to be hollow, enclosing something, and suggested the smell of the air inside an aircraft. The site also suggested some sort of rocket or rocket test. Source’s second opinion of the site was that the site involved an event composed of stages: planning; preparation; conduct; and evaluation. During the course of conduct of the project, a moving object received input which was informational in nature and directed, controlled, and verified status, having something to do with parameters, *supervising” and a strict "performance envelope.” After the first part, when impetus for the object was no longer present, the information flow reversed; output involved response/reporting. Periodic input during second part effected attitude, perhaps course or orientation. The entire project had the sense of "quasi-legality,” 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 feeling of betrayal or unfairness, as if the activity is occurring even though the instigators said it wouldn’t upon mutual agreement. But the people involved felt the necessity to conduct it nevertheless: i.e., “the ends justify the means.” No further information was provided. b. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Source #018 was, interviewed twice and stated substantially as follows: Source’s first opinion of the site was that the site was a wide open, spacious, flat area. There was a large structure at the site which had a dome above 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 within the large, 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 radiate outward pressure. This pressure did not exist immediately afterwards. The object then started toward a dormant stage but was still active. This sudden outward pressure did not seem like a sudden explosion, but like an explosion in slow motion. Some time shortly after the slow explosion, the site carried an impression of things falling inward. Before the slow explosion, the site had a very tense almost 2 va Approved For Release 2002/1 “CEERET
