    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 copies of overhead
   imagery.
   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 locat'ed from the top of the circle of the
   structure and down 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. iAnticipated completion date for this project was
   indicated as either November 1988 or November 1989. The letters
   "QRSTU" 9'r "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 long. The notions 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. (SINFISK) 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 ofla, 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 experiencb! 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 noted that firing cuntrol computers used
   variable potentiometers in,lieu~ of digital components.
   5. (S/NF/SK) J"Eccording 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 object, re-
   entry vehicle and a flame-like,blast is associated with the
   structure. The incongruous presence of glowing green balls
   branching out in an are 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 for review by the customer.
