Operational Report - Project 8702
(U)
1.
(S/SK/WNINTEL)
Source 101 originally described the target
building as a rectangular, ten-story building constructed among
two other tall buildings in an area where construction efforts
remain continuing. Openings on top of the building were
observed.
The structure had a sloping down effect and seemed
designed to accommodate a hard, central, core (not further
defined) .
Date of completion for the construction was estimated
at two or three years from date.
2. (S/SK/WNINTEL)
Source 018 described the target building as
one of several large buildings in various stages of completion.
A large open area inside the building, along with the presence of
a persistent bluish light, seemed important.
3. (S/SK/WNINTEL)
Source 003 identified the target building as
a tall, rectangular, flat-topped, structure made of masonry
concrete.
£
Windows were located at the top of the building, but
no windows were observed close to the ground. There was a large,
open area that seemed to dominate the structure.
The building
appeared to be associated with the impression of "aerospace".
4.
(S/SK/WNINTEL)
Source 021 reported the target building
as a huge structure located among a cluster of buildings situated
in a barren, isolated area.
The presence of a building shaped
like the letter "H" was also observed in the area. People with
bright yellow visors and -wearing protective clothing worked in
the target building shaped like a huge airplane hangar with a
domed roof. Small frosted windows were also observed at the top

of the building. A dish antenna capable of vertical and
horizontal movements was controlled by a console located in a
room within the target building; an intense blue light was
associated with the antenna.
There were indications of a command
and control activity with (electronic) consoles providing
overhead pictures.
The area had the flavor of a nuclear
launching site.
