    SU13JECT: SUN STREAK Operational Report - 8809 (U)
    1. (SINFISK) During the period of 16 June 1988 to 26 July 1988
    inclusively, four remote viewers conducted a total of eleven
    sessions in an effort to describe the principal function and SG1A
    activities related to the target site identified as
    Results of this effort follow substantially below.
    2. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 095 perceived the target site of interest
    as being subject to construction in two separate phases. The
    first phase of construction is projected for completion within a
    two-year period. The second hpase of construction was not
    accessed by 095. Viewer 095:described the principal target
    structure as being a square, high buildiny of block construction.
    Black, shiny, smooth objects "capable of being armed and directed
    (aimed)" were observed within the target, structure. The concept
    of "roll-out" was associated with the objects and the structure.
    Conduits were observed running above and below ground; in fact,
    the site (structure) itself appeared to be constructed partially
    underground. The site appeared to serve a twofold purpose: the
    first involved the testing of, a large and stationary object in a
    massive room filled wi Ith equi'pment that served as a source of
    power described as concentrated, contained, energy; while the
    second stage involved the ultimate assembly, direction, and
    aiming of a system. System completion appeared dependent upon a
    meticulously detailed process of assembly, a process of
    integration normally associated with a "mobile nuclear system."
    Additional concepts of compleixity, density, mass, length, and
    roll-out were associated with! the overall process. The target
    Isite was military related and, shielded from access by the
    implementation of stringent security measures. The objects under

  measured an estimated twenty-five feet in length. See ENCLOSURE
  1. The duality of distinct, yet functionally related procedures,
  persisted throughout 095's viewing efforts.
  3. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 079 identified Target Site M as a nuclear SG1A
  reproduction facility located in an isolated area in the southern
  portion of the Soviet Union. The target site served as a vast
  technical nuclear research and dissemination "system" (center).
  The study of electro-optics was pursued at the site. Such
  concepts as "software/hardware," $splicing needles," and
  "radiation" described the functional pertinence of the tat-get
  site. Current, advanced studies related to "telemetry" were being
  pursued; results of this effort will reportedly make contemporary,
  state-of-the-art methods in telemetry obsolescent. An estimated
  6,000 personnel are employed at the facility. For the most part,
  it is headed by a cadre of military technicians and physicists. SG1A
  Viewer 079 perceived Target ~ as being the object of
  unfavorable publicity and criticism in the future. The Soviets
  SG1A are also developing the equivalent of a US AWAC capability at
  Target Site~~ There appear to be ongoing efforts dedicated to
  the development of "telescopic radiation" involving the study of
  "minute particles in a highly complex manner." The US SG1A
  counterpart to Target Site is a facility named
  "Gardner/Garner" (Goddard?). The principal target buildings are
  wide, tall, square and markedly clean. The presence of huge
  windows allowed for a high degree of light infiltration into the
  target buildings.
  4. (SINFISK) Viewer 018 associated Target Site Mwith the SG1A
  concepts of research, testing, and "junk storageM." Target
  structures of related interest were described as a series of
  three buildings (ENCLOSURE 2) functionally associated with a
  tall, triangular antenna that appeared related to command and
  control activity.
  5. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 0 11 perceived Target Site llllllllllllllllllas a huge, SG1A
  massive, tall windowless structure constructed of thick,
  reinforced concrete with a single access entrance and a single
  exit. The target structure appeared surrounded by an open, paved
  area secured by a double security fence and floodlights. See
  ENCLOSURE 3. The target site appeared functionally oriented
  towards command and control and state-of-the-art tracking of
  space objects. Information was decoded (at the target site).
  analyzed, compiled, and subsequently stored. Some data was
  retransmitted to other receiving stations for further analysis
  (as in NORAD or from an NSA site).
