Open AI Summary

The documents from the CIA's Stargate program include evaluation forms, session information, and tasking sheets. The evaluation forms ask for the accuracy and value of the information provided by various sources. The session information includes target data, personnel data, session data, and evaluation data. The tasking sheets outline the method/technique and background for ongoing tasks. The session summaries provide insights into the perceived data from viewers, including details about a carrier group exercise in the northern Indian Ocean, drug interdiction activities planned by USCENTCOM in the April/May timeframe, and planned drug shipments from Colombia to Mexico.

 E.    SESSION SUMMARY:  Viewer's Note:                   I had an Advanced Visual
 (AV)  of a Carrier Group exercise.
 The targeted scheduled activities revolve around a ship-based
 or naval-based exercise.   My sense is that a new organization or
 unit  will  be  involved.  It  will  be                  a  new  operation  for  the
 country(ies) involved.  The activity is definitely associated with
 water.
 The location of this operation is the northern Indian Ocean,
 probably the Arabian Sea area. It will take place in an area which
 is  characteristically  shallow and  where                  the  ocean  surface   is
 generally smooth.
 I really sense that the purpose of this activity is to test
 some  new  equipment,  assets or technology.    It has                  to do with
 launching or releasing a smaller vessel from beneath a larger one;
 the pursuit of,   and eventual attachment of a small object onto,
 larger vessels by this smaller vessel;  and the sense that when
 these larger vessels pass through a subsurface "beam" of sorts,
 this beam in turn triggers or otherwise affects the small object
 attached to the ship.
 Other concepts include:
 1)   A winged-shaped object which feels as if  it literally
 slides or  slices between water molecules rather than "pushing"
 itself through the water. It appears "dark and sinister" and has a
 "stealthy" concept associated with it.   It can travel in shallow
 water.   Pointed and backward slanting projections angling up from
 its upper surface each produce a constant stream of bubbles.  This

 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002500060024-3
 somehow  is  associated with   its  camouflaging  capability  and/or
 propulsion system.
 2) A large vessel appears as if its entire bottom drops downs
 and opens up.  It then discharges a smaller object or vessel, which
 in turn slides easily out of the  larger vessel.        This smaller
 vessel then slips    in under  larger vessels which  it can pursue
 undetected.   I sense that the numerous streams of bubbles help to
 facilitate this "anonymity".   This smaller vessel can come and go
 as  it pleases;  it can approach any object and get away before
 detection.
 3)      There is an opening reminiscent of an "aperture" on one of
 the vessels involved.   I sense that it functions as a combination
 coupling attachment/discharging device.   Conceptually, it's as if
 it can attach to something large, stay attached while discharging
 a smaller object, this disengaging itself and escaping undetected.
 4)      (Viewer's Note:   This one is really bizarre!!!)   I sense
 a yellowish  "beam" which occurs  15'  to 20'  below,  and running
 parallel to, the water surface.  It is a projected beam meant to be
 crossed and broken by the bow/hull of a ship.  When the ship passes
 through this beam, the beam, in turn, triggers or otherwise affects
 a small object which had been attached to the ship at an earlier
 location.    I sense that there  is a great distance between the
 "attachment point" and the "triggering or affect point".
 5)  The concept of a "pyramid-based code" or a "stepped-based
 code"  is  associated with particularly  the  smaller,  more  agile
 object/vessel.
 Final Viewer's Note:        Because of the bizarre nature of the
 data I perceived,   I have a feeling that thetasking and/or this
 project is not completely clean.

 Certain planned activities are scheduled for the April-May 95 time
 frame.   Shipments of drugs from Columbia to as far as Mexico will
 be delivered.  A drug cartel or organized smuggling group, headed
 up by one powerful man in particular,  is planning shipments of
 narcotics.   These shipments                                                                                 in the future will be made by air
 flight utilizing planes and airfields. Drug drops are made from
 above in six weeks from now for a sizeable profit.
