"Whatever the

is going
on

(the)
future.
"This
is
a step not
a final
conclusion.”
SG1H
source was directed
to address specific tasking questions.
The
following information
was related:
Potentials for success:
A two path answer
-
long and short
range.
Given
certain constants and licenses,
chances for success and
broadening or crossing over
into other areas were very
good.
Immediate success was
less important except
as
a
stepping stone for the
long range,
although
immediate
success was also
likely.
The concept
of success was
modified
up
or down by the manipulation
of data thus
making success relative.
One needed
a correlation,
a
small
success
to compare
it against.
Strengths:
Newness,
its novelty,
speed.
It was difficult to
detect,
difficult
to counter.
It opened the way for
many other
areas.
Weakness:
It was bulky and took time to prepare and to build
energy.
At this point reliability could only be
assured with extraordinary preparation.
Under routine
conditions reliability decreases.
It was costly.
It
required
a
large number of these coffee
pots.
Politically
it
was difficult
to justify
in
a way for
it
was
a concept whose benefit
was
a
long way down the
road.
Interviewer
Note:
Source became very confused during the
interview and was unable to clearly and sequentially trace the
various components utilised
in this
incident.
Even with
this,
"failure” the source was able
to convey the impression
of
a high-
tech test
of some sort
in which
an overhead platform was
involved
in conjunction with
a ground based system of tremendous energy
output.
The result
was
the
interception
of
a fast moving object
in orbital
or sub—orbital
flight.
The
test
was
a success
and
the
potential
for future successes
was apparently great.
Source provided no further amplifying information which could

(S/SK/WNINTEL)
The above SUN STREAK sources,
although not
in
complete agreement,, seemed to have collectively described an
incident
(test)
which
involved several
different
locations
or
structures,
one
or more
of which may have been
in
flight.
The
test
involved energy or projected energy of some sort and
resulted
in the destruction
of
a target by unusual
burning
or
a
peculiar explosive effect.
