MEMORANDUM FOR THE ASSISTANT DEPUTY FOR SCIENTIFIC AND 
TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE 
SUBJECT: SUN STREAK Operational Report - ProJect 8717 (U) 
1. (S/NF/SK) During the period of 10 December 1987 to 12 
January 1988, five remote viewers conducted 19 sessions in an 
effort to access and describe new target structures described by 
overhead photography at the site. 
2. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 003 perceived the target as comprised of 
three large, dark, military-related structures currently under 
construction in a flat, cold, and open area. The general target 
area was in proximity to a body of water. Sketches representing 
overhead views of the target site are at TAB A and TAB B, 
respectively. The construction design of the target structures 
appeared to be arranged in square patterns of hard material such 
as cement. Of the three structures under construction, two 
appeared functionally important. The objective of the these two 
important structures seemed related to the concept of an 
"electro-magnetic spectrum", and a perceived ability to track 
space vehicles and "other orbital Junk." An object described as 
cylindrically- shaped, smooth, and glossy, seemed functionally 
related to the target structures (See TAB C). 
3. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 011 described the target as a large, tall 
structure under construction and shaped in a horseshoe 
configuration on one side and perceptibly angular on the other. 
Sketches representing side views and overhead views of the target 
structure are at TABS D through F, inclusively. The Target 
structure is being built to receive electronic signals, emanating 
from a round cylindrically shaped object (TAB G). The object 
itself appears to be orbiting in space or seems associated with 
another object in space. The target site reminded 011 of a 
previous intelligence target associated with an ABM "site and 
radar emplacements." A conceptual sketch representing the 
disposition of the target site is at TAB H.

4. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 079 described the target as comprised of two 
tall, circular-shaped, tapering structures under construction. 
The construction material consisted of cement squares that gave 
the structures an overall, tiled appearance. Overview sketches 
of the target structures are at TAB I; side views are at TAB J 
and TAB K. The first structure identified by the presence of a 
square roof, was empty. The second structure housed a tall 
slender, silvery object that appeared to be as high as the 
structure itself. A circular-shaped apparatus (TAB L) sat on top 
of the silvery object; it had the ability of executing both 
rotational and sweeping movements. The target structures were 
functionally related to the receipt and recording of data related 
to "determining measurements." Their intended use seemed related 
to the tracking of vehicles in space. The overall target area 
consisted of a large city and a body of water. A byzantine-type 
architecture seemed to predominate among the buildings observed 
within the city. 
5. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 018 perceived the target area as a large, 
flat expanse of land (TAB M) where the presence of a series of 
widely-spaced buildings (TAB N) was observed. Viewer 018 
perceived the presence of a cone and a cylindrically-shaped 
object centered within a bowl-shaped apparatus and located at the 
apex of target structure. A slanted rectangular object was 
located above the bowl-shaped apparatus. Representative sketches 
are at TAB 0. The second target structure housed machinery; and 
the third structure was the size of a large moving van with pipes 
and reflective material, like aluminum foil. The concept of 
space-related "communications" appeared directly related to the 
structures under construction. 
6. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 095 described the target as a series of 
"interconnected structures under construction" and readily 
identifiable by the presence of a thin and flimsy appearing "dome 
at the apex of the structures. The domes were used to conceal 
"angular and rectangular" objects located within the target 
structures. Workers in the target area were observed handling 
and sliding long objects into place. 
7. (S/NF/SK) COMMENTS: Correlation among viewers seems to 
predicate the presence of two important structures at the target 
site located in a generally flat expanse of land near a city and 
a body of water. At TAB P is a Summary of Information (SOI) that 
incorporates correlative data that is responsive to the tasking. 
The SOI is submitted for consideration as a conservative type 
response to the customer.
