occurrence, event,
happening, activity.

Yes, it has to do with the big tank ... a.big tank,
or a huge container.

perception to me.
PAUSE
#08:
. Okay .... There are two things came to pass ....
forget that ... Something about a .. bundle or a light
package .. in the .. in the .. southwestern corner of the
highway .... Bundle wrapped ... in .. light paper .. and
tied in .... tape ... My direction, my direction is
focused on that .. bundle.
The first impression, I
want to say because it's bothering me about
a
multiple accident, but it's a bundle that attracted
my attention.
#66:
All right. Let me see if I understand what you're
trying to tell me.
There were two things of
importance, one of which was an accident and the
other which was the bundle?
#08:
Yes.
#66:
All right.
Tell me about the bundle.
#08:
The bundle
is
sealed.
The bundle is wrapped
in .. the paper, the bundle ...
# 66:
What's happening with the bundle?
#08:
Just lying there
....
#66:
Watch the bundle and see what happens with it.
#08:
The bundle is .. the bundle is made of books ... soft
covered
books ... the
size
is .. 8
X
10 ........
.
. (mumble ) .
The impression now is of
a .. local having picked up the bundle and taking off
with
it, the local .... went about 3 miles
in
southwest area of the (mumble) .. .. Yeah, a country
poke, I guess .... The a ... impression of a .. somewhat
rundown, small house with a
roof overhang
.
(mumble), help me out.

# 66:
Focus on the bundle and tell me what happens with
the bundle.
#08:
They brought it to that house.
. .
# 66:
And?
#08:
It was opened and ... I think the
individual is confused and amazed .. and this has
lasted for some time ..... You want to pursue this
bundle?
#66:
Yes.
Tell me about what's in the bundle and what
this guy does with it.
#08:
They open them. . and. . they
were
a bunch of
a ... accountable 8 x 10 ... printed material .. about ..
each book with about ... and less than a half inch
and a little more than a quarter inch thick.
I
see
white and red covers and some dark ... dark type
emblem.
#66:
All right.
Now what it is, tell me more about what
he does with these things in the bundle.
#08:
Okay.
. The
a ... in
his
confusion
and
amazement, he then transferred the bundle to the
bottom on a deep container about a four foot
container, wood .. and covered the ... the contents
of the booklets with a ..... some other material.
They're putting the ... the booklet and .. and the
material in the barrel.
# 66:
All right.
#08:
There's a layer of ... maybe paper or canvas
You want anything more?
#66:
Yes.
Looking first at the
bundle as it's
unwrapped, be very careful
here that I'm not
suggesting anything to you, but do you have the
opinion that these are originals or copies?
# 08:
That's. .. the ... the ... impression is one of newly
printed material.
#66:
Newly printed in that they haven't been circulated
and used?
#08:
Fresh off the press type stuff.

Now move
further back through this incident
to
the
intersection again with the bundle sitting there at
the intersection --
#08:
Yeah --
#66:
-- And move back further again and tell me how it
arrived at the intersection.
#08:
It rolled into the, boy, going to backtrack this
stuff, ........ It was thrown there ... it came from a
vehicle ... this
is going to be overlay here
because .. but I'll say it anyway. The impression
is one of being thrown from a passing vehicle ...
Why don't, .. I, we can continue this some other time
now.
# 66:
All right.
#08:
When I go back to this stuff.
#66:
All right.
I have one other thing I require and
then I know you're getting tired.
# 08:
I understand.
# 66:
Give me a police like description of the man who
picks up the bundle and later opens it.
#08:
Yeah, ... about 5'8", 5'10", very country attitude,
medium built, black. . . un ... black uncombed hair, a
slight receding hairline. Also an impression of
a .. of a .... overalls with the suspenders, (mumble)
about, little heavy for his height, with a slight
paunch.
...
That's about it, I .. . that's it.
#66:
Okay.
Now if he took them to a place that is about
3 miles south?
#08:
Took them to the house.
#66:
All right.
If you had to --

Okay, if I had to find this house, what would be
the one way, the one identifying thing, the one
best way that I could find this house.
# 08:
The house was blue or white, because it's been
painted.
There's a wreck, there's a wrecked
car .. or
the remnants of a wrecked car in the
area .. Think it kinda looks like an old Chevy '51 or
something,
black ... And the porch overhang is a
significant,
recognizable ... It's
typical little
country . . house.
# 66:
Okay. Now how do you feel about describing the car
and the individual who threw the packet out of the
car?
# 08:
Your're pushing it fella'.
#66:
Okay. We'll come back to this and go for that a
little later.

DRAWING EXPLANATION
#08:
Okay, sketch #1, which entitled highway is the area
that was of interest, with a multi lane highway
going from north to south and a secondary road from
east to west and I've annotated the location of the
perceived man made objects that were encountered
throughout, through the session, to include an
outdoor storage shed in the northeastern portion of
this sketch.
And a country store, gas station type
in the northwestern portion of the sketch.
The
thing I have sketched here which I had to when I
"Xed" the spot for the bundle was that indeed this
crossing of highways was not as angular at 90
degrees as it appears here. It was more of a
rounded slant to it, it wasn't a perfect 90 degrees.
# 66:
Okay.
#08:
Okay. And going back and thinking of where I had
seen the bundle, it was a round corner, in this area
here, between the two "Xs", is really where it was.
Okay. Then I tried to identify the small farmhouse
in question, which about, I forget what I said, 3
miles, mile and half, I get confused here, from the
location on the same road. If I follow that main
highway, that multiple highway, going south there is
a
slight curve to
the highway
after
the
intersection, within about a mile, mile and half.
And that house is located next to the highway
there.
That's a driveway, by the way.
#08:
Okay, sketch #2 which I've entitled house is an
attempt to describe the house of interest, which
looks like an old small country home with front
a ... with a front screen door.
House has a step of
about 3 or 4 steps and it is off the ground be about
a foot and a half, two feet on pillars, with an "A"
roof.
And one of the identifying factors is that it
has a sloping front overhang to the house, which
forms a porch type approach to the house.
And
looking for additional identifiable landmarks
I
perceived, perceived the remnants
of a wrecked
automobile. It could be anything, but something
like, definitely black automobile.
Something that
reminds me of a 49 or a 51 Chevy.
# 66:
It was an abandoned automobile as it were?

Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001900060002-5
#08:
Yea.
#66:
It just sits around in the yard.
#08:
Yeah, like someone drove 220,000 miles and just left
it there.
#66:
Okay.
Now tell me a little bit about this guy and
his discovery of this bundle and then a ---
# 08:
I think the guy is a local, I think I tried to
emphasize that, the impression of a, lack of a
better expression, the local yokel who happens to
inadvertently trip on the bundle in question and
takes it home and has, is completely confused and
amazed at what he has and really doesn't know what
to do with it. And realizes that it's of some
importance, doesn't fully realize, but suspects that
it has some value and there's problems to translate
that value into something gainful, which he may,
which I do not know if he persisted in that effort.
And what did he, explain to me again what he did do
with the documents.
# 66:
# 08:
The documents were unwrapped in the front portion of
the building or the front room of the house and were
subsequently placed in a container in the back room
of the house, which appeared to me like a wooden
barrel about 3 or 4 feet high and the documents in
question were placed there, layered with a heavy
piece material, either cloth canvas or very heavy
brown paper and then filled with other extraneous
material.
#66:
So they then would then wind up at the bottom of
this
#08:
this barrel.
# 66:
-- wooden type barrel.
#08:
Yea, barrel, bin whatever you want to call it.
#66:
Barrel will be okay.
Anything else you'd like to
add?
#08:
No.
#66:
Okay.
