TRANSCRIPT
#66:
This will be a CENTER LANE Interview for 0900 hours
28 June 1983. Focus now today on the area in the
photograph I've shown, solely completely today on
the area in the photograph, the east end. Describe
your perceptions to me.

place .... maintenance present ... but
the
building's
not ... not fully occupied yet .
#66:
Break that out.
#01:

of building.
Upper floors
are .. mostly occupied, lower floors aren't.
# 66:
I'm interested exclusively on the new structure on
the roof.
#01:
Just
a
minute, see a ramp, .. see a ramp there.
It's operating now. . . There's a .. screen
moving,
moves
up and down and side to side.
... Trying

#01:
That's correct. Other screens too, but different
location, back in the outside.
#66:
Okay. Describe dollhouse view of the way this area
is organized.
#01:
... Fine mesh screens, east side of .. just a minute.
.three parts to the building, .. top area,
east .
# 66:
Excuse me, are we talking about just the newly
constructed portion here, when you say three parts?
#01:
No.
# 66:
Okay .
#01:
. . . That's one part.
#66:
Okay .
I'm interested in a dollhouse perspective of
just this newly constructed portion.
#01:
Okay, just a minute.
#66:
It's much, much too broad of an area to examine this
whole building, I want just this one little area on
top.
#01:
.From the outside in, it's a ... fine mesh
screens, ... ah .... get
a
one-way

Focusing on the newly constructed portion on the
roof, east end of the roof here, study this
dollhouse perspective so that you may draw it for me.
PAUSE
#01:
Go ahead.
#66:
Okay. Now focusing exclusively on this newly
constructed portion of the roof, east end, today
27-28 June 1983, describe the operational status.
#01:
.. It's fully capable, but not being used.
This
portion's finished. Other portion isn't.

DRAWING EXPLANATION
#01:
Okay, drawing #1 is a cut away of the top of the
building, just the newly constructed area. This is
the area I said was accessible by a ramp, now that
we have a ramp built into this area for some
reason. Working from the center out there is a
curved angular plate type reflector device that
moves up and down and sideways. Actually it's got
more movement than that, it's got like the full
rotary movement of the wrist, your hand, it'll move
all directions. There's a black sensor type box in
the center .
Outside that is cold wall or screen
type wall that's real cold and it's got a lot of
vertical lines inside and outside.
But on the
inside there's affixed two rows of some kind of
reflector or blocking grid type things. They're
fastened in rows, two rows around the inside of the
cold wall.
Then outside of all of that, the
exterior wall is a screen grid and it's very evenly
broken up into separate little blocks and things.
Underneath there's a false floor with, and it's
completely shielded. And underneath that is all
kinds of wires, just a spaghetti full of wires.
At one point here, you talked about a one way wall
or one way ---
#66:
#01:
Yeah, the cold wall is a one way wall. It's like
something penetrates the exterior wall and the angle
and deflection, the sideways angle and the up and
down angle's important as to the way it goes through
the wall. But once it goes through the wall, any
attempt for it to come back out through the wall,
you know, by bouncing out or anything, is blocked by
this inside reflector grid, these rows of whatever.
You know, I just get a feeling like this particle
penetrating through this cold wall and then bouncing
around inside the cold wall until it either hits or
it hits the angular plate collector, you know the
the reflector --
#66:
Okay, now when you talk about angles of, say that
again what you said about angles .
#01:
The angle of elevation and the angle of side-to-side.
#66:
Of What?

#01:
The wave, and I'm talking micron type waves, I'm
talking radars and microwave.
# 66:
Okay, now let me put that in other words other than
remote viewing words and see if that's what you're
talking about.
Are you talking wave form
polarization?
You know how with an antenna you
either polorize it horizontally or vertically or
anywhere in between, if you're talking about smaller
wave lengths.
Are you talking about wave form
polarization?
#01:
That has to do with it, yes.
But that's only one
element of what it has to do.
#66:
Okay .
#01:
Yes. That's like one of many parts, elements that's
important.
#66:
Okay .
A
wave form can come off a radiator in
certain polarizations
#01:
Yes, I know.
I agree.
# 66:
And it can be in different frequencies.
#01:
I agree.
#66:
So in terms of capturing higher frequency wave
lengths, you're talking about wave guides and a
polarization of a wave guide would depend upon the
radiated or the reflected energy it was attempting
to capture.
#01:
I agree.
And that's important.
#66:
Okay .
#01:
Page #2, there's a room inside the building that
deals with this exterior portion.
# 66:
Is inside the greater, larger building?
#01:
Yeah, it's like in the top two floors.
I
wouldn't
say it's in the very center of the top floor
though. It's like on the outer edges of the top
floor and part of the second floor, whatever that
means. There's, I've depicted this angular, it's

like three cabinets together and there's three sets
of these all in the same room. They're like equal
distance based in a triangle. I get an impression
of video, two video screens, one in each cabinet and
then the right hand cabinet is all lights and
switches, black boxes, lights and switches. The
video screens, the one in the center, the center
cabinet, is essentially black or dark, with white
lines, not vertical or anything, but with white
lines that show up in different configurations and
then numbers superimposed on the screen that move
around .
The screen to the left is like divided up
into fifteen horizontal sections. It's a light gray
and it has dark line that represents what looks like
some form of frequency spiking. And they're all
different and they keep overlaying one another.
It's like a presentation of a great number of
frequency ranges all at the same time, all random
and all
spurious. Both of these represent two
distinctly separate missions that this equipment is
involved in. Both are automated but permit some
form of human interface, maybe it has to do with
analysis or the recording of the equipment.
It's
automated collection or whatever, I don't know.
That's essentially what I see in that room.
# 66:
Okay, now I'll want to try to clarify something
here.
You
said two separate missions, now
previously when you talked about
the intercept
technology upstairs, you talked about two kinds of
signals. Okay, let me clarify it. First of all you
flip-flop between radar and microwave and maybe
you're describing a range of frequencies with that
or maybe you're describing two separate missions.
You also go on to further describe, one being an
information collection and the other being an
identity collection. And then again, here at this
point, you have talked about two separate missions.
Can you clarify those points?
#01:
No. There's a, I just get a feeling of two missions.
# 66:
Do you recall talking about this idea of one is
intercept for information and the other is intercept
for identity.
#01:
Yes.
Those are the two missions.
But, if, I don't
know which is which, I don't know if the microwave
is the information and the radar is the identity or

Approved For Release 2003/09/10c CIA-RDF 96-00788R001600340001-8
if the radar is the information and the microwave is
the identity. There's some, there's a reason for
the combination of the two. You know, it's like --
And now you've got like two different screens --
#66:
#01:
Without the one, the other wouldn't be of any value.
Okay .
#66:
#01:
And at the same time that I was getting into this
duality of mission, there appears to be a third
sub-category of knowledgeability that then becomes
apparent further on down the line, after all this
information is analyzed and amassed and digitalized
and filed in a computer and whatnot. Then there is
a third mission category or another group of people
that are very, very compartmented even within their
own area. And from that collated data, they are in
turn, able to collate and extract third mission data
that is of even more impressive importance and I get
a lot of overlay about nuclear submarines.
You
know, I get a lot of a ---
#66:
Is this that you're addressing now, this new first
time available thing that you were describing?
#01:
Yes, yes. And they're going to a great deal of
masking and extremes to .... to hide this, hide is not
a
right word,
to subvert attention from this
capability, I don't know, I'm getting lost now.
#66:
I understand. But you think that this capability,
this
new
capability
might
be
submarine
communications?
#01:
Yeah, but I don't know if it's theirs or ours.
Maybe it's combining the two informations, they come
up with an absence of something that allows them to
-
# 66:
Whatever, let it you know ---
#01:
-- Tap into or penetrate communications, I don't, you
know, I'm just getting an impression. I'm talking
around what I'm trying to say and I don't know how
to break out what I was getting.

#66:
Okay. But there is something about this thing that
they have put on the roof and the operation that is
something new, that's something that they have never
been capable of doing.
#01:
Absolutely .
#66:
And that it is so new, that many of the people that
work there don't know about it.
#01:
That's correct.

And that you have an impression that this may have
something to do with communications of nuclear
submarines or submarine communications?

On 28 June 1983, Source CL-01 was interviewed concerning a
SG1
A
The newly constructed portion, as depicted in Source's
drawing number 1, was accessible by a ramp (not further
identified) . Inside the area was a moveable curved angular
plate reflector device. In the center of this device was a
black sensor box (not further identified) . Surrounding this
device was a "cold wall or screen type wall" with vertical
lines both inside and outside the wall.
Fastened around the
inside of the "cold wall" were two rows of "some kind of
reflector
or
blocking grid type things"
(not further
identified) .
Source further described this "cold wall" as a
"one-way shield" for "micron type waves;" "radar" and/or
"microwave" (not further identified) . The exterior wall of
the area was a screen grid, "very evenly broken up into
separate little blocks" (not further identified) . The area
had a false floor that was completely shielded and under the
floor there were many wires, "a spaghetti full of wires" (not
further identified) .
There was a metal gauze, "a gauze type
element" in the ceiling of the newly constructed area.
Source also described an "analysis portion" connected with
the newly constructed area but located somewhere on the upper
floor (s) of the main building (not further identified) . This
analysis area was a room in which there were three automated
consoles (see drawing 2), each of which had three cabinets.
Two of these cabinets had video display screens and the other
cabinet contained lights, switches, and "black boxes" (not
further identified) . The video screen in the center cabinet

appeared "black or dark" and displayed
white
lines
in
different configurations (not further identified) and numbers
that appeared to move around the screen
(not
further
identified) . The video screen in the cabinet on the left was
light gray and had a horizontal display of perhaps fifteen
different frequency ranges, all "random" and "spurious" (not
further identified) . Source stated that the use of two video
screens represented two
separate missions."
Source was unsure what these two missions were but believed
that one might be "for
information" and the other "for
identification ."
When questioned concerning the operational status of the
newly constructed area, Source stated, "It's fully capable,
but not being used." The rooftop portion was finished but the
analysis portion was "not all manned ."
Source reported that
once operational, this activity would be a "never been done
before capability."
This new capability would enable "over a
1,000 miles range, a great distance for spurious wave form and
microwave frequencies, radar
frequencies ."
Beyond
this
capability there was a "very compartmented
.
third
mission" which may involve a "tap in on a major network,
specific network
. . control network."
Source reported that
this first time ever tapping or touching involved "a comm
network with nuclear subs, or about nuclear subs" (not further
identified) .
Source emphasized the technical concept that vertical and
horizontal
wave angles (not further identified) were very
important to the function of the "screen shields" in the newly
constructed portion of the roof top structure.
These
"screens" and "fields" were all electrically balanced making
the "wave arrival" critical.
