Open AI Summary

The CIA's Stargate program has conducted observations on a target structure, which is assumed to be a large building. Several sources have provided descriptions of the interior of the target structure. Source #018 described a machine oil smell and dimly-lit rooms with long tables along the walls. People were working on a tall, slanted, slender, thin, and straight "thing" that had a funny green color. Source #079 described the interior as a laboratory with a large odd-shaped piece of equipment on a table. Workers examined and probed the equipment. Concepts associated with the end product included upgrading, updating, and new. Source #003 perceived spacious, bright, white rooms with chrome/stainless steel pipes or tubing. People were engaged in ongoing activities in a hospital-like setting, but more intricate. There were concepts related to micro-segments, microscale, elaborate details, and complex assembly. There was mention of a trial run of technical equipment resembling a prototype. The object being assembled was precise and complex, possibly comparable to an arming/functioning mechanism. Source #011 described the interior as an abandoned warehouse, dark, dingy, and dirty with pallets lying about. It had a history of light industrial manufacturing. Source #095 described a large empty room with a high ceiling, a low flat object, and a sickly-sweet chemical smell associated with it.

 Project 8802  Interim Report:
 Note:    In each case the  large building in the center of the photo
 was assumed to be the target structure.   However,  descriptions
 may include activities associated with the site          in general.   Data
 refers to present time unless otherwise noted.
 Source #018:   Inside the target structure a machine oil  smell         was
 present.   Also, dimly-lit rooms with long tables along the walls.
 There was the overall  impression of an "assembly" area where
 things were "added to" an already assembled thing.   Descriptions
 of the  "t-hing" include tall,  slanted,  slender,  thin,  straight,
 and a  "funny green color".   People were working on this from
 underneath it and had to assume awkward positions to do so.
 Source #079:   Described the interior of the target structure as
 being much like a  "laboratory".   The area was sterile;  a large,
 odd-shaped piece of equipment was sitting on a table.        Workers
 here examine and probe.   The work is tedious and frequent breaks
 are taken.   Associated ideas include "optical,  illusionary,
 binary,  movement, flow of data" and  "charting, mapping,
 examining".   Concepts connected with the end product
 were  "upgrading,  updating,  new".
 Source #003:   The description of the target structure  includes
 perceptions of spacious,    bright,  white rooms and  (perhaps)
 chrome/stainless steel   pipes or tubing.   People are engaged in
 ongoing activities;  its like a hospital,   but more  intricate.
 Concepts associated with this  idea are:  "micro-segments,
 microscale,  elaborate,  detailed,   complex, and assemblage."
 Scheduled to occur sometime  in the near future something like a
 trial  run of technical  equipment--like the first operation of a
 prototype.   This  idea seems to be associated with an
 object/machine that  is horizontal,  well made,  metallic,
 mechanical,  electrical  and electronic.  "Test-bed"  is also a
 related concept.    The object  is precise and complex;  (perhaps  it
 might be compared with an arming/functioning mechanism for a
 device).   Presently it is being "assembled";  but this task is
 complicated.   People must place components  into proper relative
 positions requiring very tight tolerances and where direct
 observation of the placement    is often not possible--almost  like
 they have to "feel" as they put it together.

 Source #011:   Described the  interior of the target structure as
 being like an abandoned warehouse;  dark,  dingy and dirty with
 pallets lying about.   In the past, this area was associated with
 light  industrial  manufacturing.
 Source #095:   Described a large,  empty room with a high ceiling.
 The room is dark and dingy;   the floors are bare except for a  low,
 flat object  (like a box or mattress).    In the near future,  a
 sickly-sweet chemical  smell  (perhaps like a hospital  smell)  is
 associated with the room.
