           MEMORANDUM FOR THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR SCIENTIFIC AND
      TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE
      SUBJECT: SUN STREAK Interim Report/Project 8708 M (U) SG1A
      I. (S/SK/WNINTEL) The following is forwarded as an interim
      report in accordance with your request of 5 June 1987. The
      foreign intelligence information was obtained by two sources
      during the course of four sessions.
      2. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Source 003 described the content of the
      block-shaped structure as a long, tapered, round, cylindrical
      object. The object was expressly weapon related and designed to
      allow for removal from the protective structure for
      transportation to.an open location where it will be assembled
      with some other component for use in a launch mode. As a weapon,
      the object had a variety (?f .'military-related) applications.
      There seemed to be a note&perception of pressure to ready the
      object for operational use in support of (political) policies.
      The object had five distinct components: A Locking Mechanism; a
      Control Mechanism; (followed by) Bulk Material; a Separator;
      (followed) by Additional Bulk Material. The purpose of the bulk
      material was to separate items that readily catalyzed into
      volatile corrosive or explosive matter producing bright flashes
      and extreme heat.
      3. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Source 079 reported on the presence of a
      somewhat circular ball curving in an outward configuration and
      resting on a stand (perhaps on top a roof); it had a rotational
      capability. The ball was made, controlled and operated by
      scientists. THe object was associated with an area that
      resembled a factory involved in the slicing and measurement of
      heavy metals. The concept of nurturing (the environment), and
      placing drops in the ground was in evidence. The object itself
      was weapon related.

      4. (S/SK/WNINTEL) In a second session, Source 079 described the
      contents of interest as a round object within a frame comprising
      two sections, a circular part and an open part. The object was
      resting on some sort of grooved stand. The element of heat was
      an important factor. Activation of the object will resuilt 'ii-i
      causing a toxic effect. The device was in a readiness posture;
      it was clamped in a down position, its.normal position when not
      in use. It was pointed on one end with a threaded component on
      the other end to enable this device to be attached to some other
      object. The object was stored in a protective box.
      5. (U) The functional aspects of the object will be addressed
      and emphasized during the course of future sessions. Request you
      provide any additional EEI you wish addressed or emphasized.
