 MEMORANDUM FOR THE ASSISTANT DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR SCIENTIFIC AND
 TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE
 SUBJECT:  SUN STREAK Operational Report - PROJECT N-1 (U)
 1.  (S/NF/SK)  During the period of 16 August 1987 to 29
 September 1987 inclusively, four remote viewers conducted eleven
 (11) sessions to determine their ability to identify the
 substantial content of a document. As an ancillary mission, the
 remote viewers were tasked to provide sufficient descriptive data
 of manmade and natural geographical features that would allow far
 an analytical determination to be made of the exact location of
 the target site. In this instance, the document was stored in a
 container located in a cubicle in the area known as DT-5 of the
 Defense Intelligence Analysis Center (DIAC).
 a.  (S/NF/SK)  Viewer 003 described the target site as a
 large, flat-sided building with a predominance of structures that
 were square, rectangular, and brownish-green in appearance.  The
 structure was perceived as a government building with established
 visitor control points.  Viewer 003 stated, "The setting reminds
 one of the DIAC."  The cover of the target document had a red
 background, odd-shaped yellow and black lettering, and a border.
 The document date was perceived as being 17 February 1987.  The
 word "organization" appeared in the title; and, the letters "L,
 I, N, E, seemed identifiable.  A listing of numbers in rows with
 codes reminiscent of a series of BE numbers, was associated with
 the content.  The subject matter dealt alternatingly with arms
 control, technical aspects of weaponry, engineering constraints,
 design capabilities and strategic considerations.  Appendices and
 tabs were part of the document.  The first section of the
 document provided guidance, outlined responsibilities and

 emphasized the need far safeguarding the information contained
 therein.  Access was granted to select groups of personnel having
 divergent occupational (professional) responsibilities.  The
 document was a synthesis of data compiled from various outside
 sources.  It identified organizational tasks, "like an OB (Order
 of Battle) list," and outlined assets, quantities, limits and
 purposes.  The document was arranged in about five groupings
 based on "type" starting "with the least capable" and ending with
 "the most capable."  The concept of weaponry seemed to be a
 dominant theme in the document.  The related use of large
 vehicles was also substantially associated with the document.
 Viewer 003 's post-session summaries are at TAB A.  Viewer 003 's
 conceptual drawings of the target site are at TAB B.
 b.  (S/NF/SK)  Viewer 011 described the target site as being
 located on the upper level, second or third floor, of an office
 area characterized by the presence of "cubicles, desks, work
 areas" in a building  "like Building 213 (located at the US Navy
 Yard) or the DIAC."  The cover of the document was reddish-brown
 with a black harder.  Substantially, the document dealt with
 symbols associated with mathematical concepts and formulas along
 with listings related to strategic arms and targets.  It had the
 conceptual flavor of a computer printout.  The document was
 viewed as controversial in that it caused misunderstanding
 between the scientific elements and the political elements of an
 organization.  There appeared to be two distinct parts to the
 document. The first portion was theoretical in nature  while the
 second part provided mathematical ,justification in support of the
 theory.  Basically, the document dealt with a material designed
 to trap energy.  The concepts of a crystal structure, use of
 frequencies, perceptions of vibrations and scattering all
 appeared germane to the basic tenor of the document.  There was
 evidence of a surface material bonded by a crystal structure
 acting in the manner of a two-way mirror used to absorb and
 scatter energy (throughout the material) through the use of '"rod-
 like inclusions."  A gray, smooth, shiny, long, round, metallic,
 cylindrical object is functionally associated with the theory
 espoused by the document.  Viewer 011's post-session summaries
 are at TAB G.  Viewer O11's conceptual drawings of the target
 site and document content are at TAB D.
 c.  (S/NF/SK)  Viewer 018 described the target site as a
 large, "walled-in", building resembling an art gallery replete
 with drawings and pictures on a wall.  Well-dressed persons were
 observed milling about; and furniture was located in the middle
 of the room.  The notion that the document was directly related
 to biological warfare persisted throughout both sessions
 conducted by 018.  The document had a maroon cover and it was
 dated 8 April of an undetermined year.  The document was
 substantially related to the effects of a high altitude burst of
 defoliants sent aloft by a missile.  Imagery of wilted
 vegetation, the presence of a black, microscopic crystal (formed)
 material that was greasy to the touch, seemed persistently
 associated with the concept of a biological warfare scenario.

 Incongruously, within this somewhat dismal scenario, the presence
 of pastoral green fields, rolling hills and brooks seemed
 conceptually and substantially associated with the document.
 Viewer 018's post-session summaries are at TAB E.
 d.  fS/NF/SK)  Viewer 079 described the target site as a
 dark, glassy, curvy, modern-appearing structure located in a
 setting of low rolling hills amid interspersed fences and parking
 areas.  The reception area within the building had long hallways,
 high ceilings, and displayed historical, representational
 paintings executed against a predominantly blue-colored
 background.  The document was maintained in a second area
 characterized by much lower ceilings.  Work of a scientific
 nature was conducted in this second area, the actual target site.
 The document was kept hidden (stared) in "a regular place - as if
 someone could forget (overlook the fact) it was there."  It was
 sealed with a special gold seal.  The document was brown and
 black in appearance and it was dated "1982."  Substantially the
 document dealt with such concepts as energy, phases of
 implementation, and the notion of suspense dates and required
 responses.  Small circles and black print were noted on the
 cover.  Efforts to identify the document by its title resulted in
 the surfacing of the following letters:  A. R. M. T. ....5. H.
 The classification was perceived as, "S. N. F. - Cade Word."
 Letters related to the Code Word appeared as being "S. H. ~. P.
 P. ....R. E.."  In a second and subsequent session, Viewer 079
 described the essence of the document as being directly related
 to the capture and storage of "light and energy" in "very small
 cubes" (crystals). Two principles appeared to be involved, the
 first was described as an "eye to eye principle" and that of
 transparency with a "reversing" effect.  {Note - Viewer insisted
 on the use of the word "reversing" as opposed to "reflecting"}.
 Viewer 079 's post-session summaries are at TAB F.
 2.  (S/NF/SK)  COMMENTS:  All four viewers appeared to quickly
 and readily access the DIAC as the target site where the document
 was stored.  It seemed as if the viewers benefitted from an
 experiential factor that seemed to facilitate this access.
 Suggest target storage sites other than the DIAC be considered
 in subsequent projects of this nature.
