Approved For Release 2000/08/08 Cl R001800750001-0 4;W 1~ DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20301-6111 11 Aug 88 MEMORANDUM FOR DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL RESEARCH SUBJECT: SUN STREAK Operational Report - 8809 (U) 1. (S/NF/SK) 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 activities related to the target site identified as SG1A 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 building 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 with equipment 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 complexity, density, mass, length, and roll-out were associated with the overall process. The target site was military related and shielded from access by the implementation of stringent security measures. The objects under WARNING NOTICE: SENSITIVE INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AND METHODS INVOLVED HANDLE VIA SKEET CHANNELS ONLY SPECIAL ACCESS REQUIRED CLASSIFIED BY: DT, DIA DECLASSIFY BY: OADR 1-1a *U~ Approved For Release 2000/08/08 am WWROO 1800750001 -0 ___W F VL1.U1XL I Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : C!.'. NvU1800750001-0 construction were described as big, longt large structures that 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 target 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. Viewer 079 perceived Target s being the object of SG1A unfavorable publicity and cri sm in the future. The Soviets are also developing the equivalent of a US AWAC capability at _ Target Site SG1A " There appear to be ongoing efforts dedicated to the develogmen of "telescopic radiation" involving the study of ttminute particles in a hi hl complex manner." The US SG1A Cc .~g counterpart to Target Site s a facility named * "Gardner/Garner" (Goddard?) e 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. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 018 associated Target Site kith the SG1A concepts of research, testing, and "Junk storage(?)." 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 011 perceived Target Site as a huge, SG1A massive, tall windowless structure constructed olqick, 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).
