 MEMO FOR THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL
 RESEARCH
 SUBJECT:  Sun Streak Operational Report - 8802 (U>
 1.  (S/NF/SK)  During the period of 10 February 1988 through 30
 March 1988 inclusively, four remote viewers conducted eight
 sessions in an effort to determine the content, function, and
 purpose of the target structure provided in
 2.  (S/NF/SK)  Source 079 described the target as consisting of
 long, tubular, light-colored, silver objects stored and assembled
 in a round yet squared-off structure that resembled a research
 laboratory with sterile atmosphere.  See sketch at TAB A.  Doors
 from the east wing of the structure give access to the objects;
 the objects (TAB B) are located from the top of the circle of the
 structure and dawn to about three quarters of the length of the
 structure.  The objects were identified as upgraded and updated
 versions of the Soviet SS17 (and  possibly SS-19)
 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM's).  The missiles are
 currently located in the Middle East, specifically in the Peoples
 Democratic Republic of Yemen (Yemen -Aden) where they are being
 tested.  Anticipated completion date for this project was
 indicated as either November 1988 or November 1989.  The letters
 "QRSTU" or "QRXTU" were related to this type of missile and the
 name "Dommer" (phonetic) appeared related to the principal Soviet
 technical, industrial supplier (of parts).  The project
 represents an upgrade of a Soviet nuclear missile system that
 originated in the early 1970 's.
 3.  (S/NF/SK)  Source 003 perceived the target area as comprised
 of a group of structures with interspersed antenna dishes
 resembling microwave antenna dishes.  See sketch at TAB C.   The

 target structure itself contained gleaming, chrome-appearing,
 curving metal that was at once rounded and lang.  The nations of
 detailed, complex, micro-scale assembly of micro-segments
 appeared dominant.  Activities related to this structure involved
 the practical application and functioning of prototype machine
 and equipment operating in a horizontal position from a "test
 bed" atmosphere.  The viewer was reminded of complex device
 requiring the precision and attention to detail normally reserved
 for the detonation of a nuclear device.  Technicians have to
 sometimes operate by feel rather than by sight within
 requirements of "very tight tolerances."
 4.  (S/NF/SK)  According to Source 018, the target area evoked
 strong impressions of missile-like silhouettes and short, solid
 structures in the distance.  The main (target) structure
 consisted of a dark room connected to other rooms with work
 tables, desks, and work areas with rags and rods.  The activity
 at the target structure centered on a large group of long, round,
 metallic things of a dull, greenish color and appeared concerned
 to the concept of "adding to" rather than initiating (something
 new).  While viewing the site and attempting to determine the
 nature of its activity, Source 018 experienced a strong and
 repeated experience that he associated with the odor of "light
 oil used in the direction-sensing potentiometer of the old Nike
 Ajax and Nike Hercules (guided missile systems)" firing, control
 computers.  Viewer 018 Hated that firing control computers used
 variable potentiometers in lieu of digital components.
 5.  (S/NF/SK)  According to Source 011, the target is a long,
 rectangular structure with which vertical movement is associated.
 See sketch at TAB D.  The notion of a rocket, a space ob,iect, rem
 entry vehicle and a flame-like blast is associated with the
 structure.  The incongruous presence of glowing green balls
 branching out in an arc and causing an irregular star-like
 pattern appeared to be the end result of this technical R&D
 effort.
 6.  (S/NF/SK)  COMMENTS:  Viewer summaries and associated session
 transcripts are available at DT-S far review by the customer.
