Another viewer described a recently developed and highly sensitive electronic gear used aboard the aircraft to mix and scramble signals to "deal with energy by converting it into (and producing) a convergence effect.” b. (S/NF/SK) The “aircraft skin” was described as having a light, “plastic feel”, "a soft feel” and, a "textured feel”. It was further described as an alloy identified spontaneously and successively as “tungsten,” a "ferro-silicate” and “titanium.” The aircraft skin was described by one viewer as being metallic but apparently coated with a substance that reminded one of "diamond dust.” The aircraft was further perceived as being “textured” but coated smooth in a "matte” finish. It was described as dark, blackish green, shiny-smooth, remarkably clean, as if coated with epoxy or acrylic paint. Even dust did not seem to adhere to its surface. A second viewer described the aircraft as being "encased and protected” by some sort of protective “barrier.” The front portion of the aircraft was perceived as having a long thin, protruding structure used to radiate light and scan (for information). See viewers conceptual drawing at TAB A. c. (S/NF/SK) The overall project seemed shrouded in secrecy, yet some portions related to the project were generally known to the public. The configurational aspects of the wings appeared crucial to desired aircraft performance. Viewers alternately used such descriptives as a “webbed configuration”, wings "shaped like a trapezoid with the narrow end attached to the fuselage”, and "wing tips that are upturned and rolled up.” One viewer described the presence of wings with "red tips” (edges) having the ability of "emitting energy downward.” Because of the noted curvature, the wing tips seemed able to "vefract” energy. Another viewer described the nose of the aircraft as one resembling that of an RF-101 reconnaissance plane. The aerodynamics involved was considered unconventional by current standards and dealt with extremes of speed, ultra fast and ultra slow. There was a sense of "“droopiness” a sense of flexibility that enhanced performance and survivability. One viewer described the aircraft as being diamond-shaped, elongated much like the SR-71 or a space shuttle. The same viewer further added, "the fuselage itself provides lift, thereby reducing the amount of wing surface necessary (to provide lift).” The aircraft bore red and black markings with "loops and hoops” emanating from the rear of the aircraft. Conceptual drawings of the aircraft are at TAB B. Approved For Release “SEO,

(S/NF/SK) Only one viewer addressed the issue of the crew that appeared comprised of three personnel functionally responsible to accomplish the following: command (control); moving/lifting/working; and studying. The concept of a multi- personnel crew was resurfaced by the same viewer in a subsequent session. e. (S/NF/SK) One viewer perceived the introduction of a heavy gaseous substance used as a fuel-filtering that allows the aircraft to "fly cleaner” by eliminating a major portion of dirty exhaust gases and other residue from the aircraft’s fuel system. The substance used was both odorless tasteless, and yet caustic and/or poisonous . Ground crews were observed wearing protective clothing when handling the material. Exposure and inhalation of the substance caused an irritation of the throat and aggravated the pulmonary tract. f. (S/NF/SK) The aircraft was virtually undetectable because of the presence of a jamming system on board. It also had the ability to "drop line of sight”; and, "its systems (were) not showing at high altitudes.” The aircraft flew illegally, "at night, with different numbers on the flight schedule to make it seem as if another aircraft is flying (rather than the target aircraft).” 4. (S/NF/SK) COMMENTS: The ten sessions conducted to date have produced more data than was originally anticipated. Suggest this effort be held in temporary abeyance to allow for a quick review of the information obtained to date and to determine areas of specific collection interest requiring emphasis or development. This will be followed by a collection effort against targets contained in Phase II and Phase III of this ongoing project. 2 Enclosures 1 & 2 Sketches SG1J Approved For Release es PREP TE 0078 9RO00300760003-3
