TASKING:
The tasking provided to Monitor was not
altered or modified from the original written tasking provided in
reference.
Monitor was told that a continuing effort to exploit the
propose/ function of the "object" reported in the initial session, may
be instrumental in solving the intelligence tasking.
Prior to both
sessions included in this report, Source was told that the object,
referenced in the initial session, was, "of interest" and should,
"focused on in detail".
Source did not require an additional cuing
of the encrypted coordinates provided in the initial
session.
No
other descriptive data or cuing, except that stated above, was
provided to Source prior to each session.

SESSION:
There were no reportable incidents or
anomalies which may have affected or influenced the data provided in
this report.

SUMMARY :
a.
(S/NF/SK)
Source did not require coordinate cuing and began
the session by immediately going to a Stage VI matrix in an attempt
to gain "direct" access to "the object", (the cue word utilized in
this matrix) .
In this phase, Source reported the object as being,
"cone_shaped, rounded, ridged, component, converter, thin, long,
silvery, delicate".
These descriptives ended with a Stage 4 1/2
-
comment of, "It must be protected from environmental shock".
Additional Stage 4 1/2 comments included, " 'like' the object has (a)
certain amount of autonomy when once put into operation", and, "(a
coating) like teflon in that it's thin, synthetic and provides
uniform characteristics ... more exotic (than teflon) ... it's almost

hard like enamel but still resilient, absorbent ... bonded to the
exterior.

Source provided additional one word descriptors at
this phase
which included, "dial, setting, tuning, adjusting,
clicking ... ", with a small sketch of a cylindrical object containing
a center mounted dial within in the core of the object.
(SEE PAGES
1-4, SOURCE NOTES, SESSION #2) .
b.
(S/NF/SK)
From this point in the session, Source utilized
the Stage 4 1/2 concept almost exclusively, adding short lists of
words between each stage 4 1/2 comment.
An accompanying relatively
detailed sketch depicted a multi-component (staged?) object
consisting of at least four separate parts; a_"thinking" part, an
"adjusting" part, an "operating part - like a motor or battery", and
the "payload - this thing that does whatever it's suppose to do when
it reaches the right point".
(SEE PAGE 5, SOURCE NOTES, SESSION #2).
The Stage 4 1/2 comments produced, "two dials in one, one turning one
way, the other in the opposite direction. (They) select for specific
Variables ... change (the) object's behavior pattern, not often set or
changed ... adjusted toward the optimum. .. they have to open it (the
object) to set it so (they) don't do it very often ... not a common
item.
There's only one or a few in existence so far ... (dial
combination is set on) 3.0 or 3.2 ... (a projection from the side) can
lay flat or be extended perpendicular to axis of object as required".
This last reference was clarified in post-session to mean a
collapsible built in bipod/tripod apparatus or possibly "fin
stabilizers" which activate in flight, if the object was indeed
Capable of flight.
(SEE PAGES 5-6, SOURCE NOTES, SESSION #2) .
c.
(S/NF/SK)
In Source's final summary following the initial
session covered in this report, He added that people around the
object are, "preparing it to be ready for operations if necessary.
(They) won't use it, hopefully, but (they) want it ready in case it's
necessary.
(There is an) idea present that, "we'll show them if they
get too obnoxious.
During the session, Source had commented in
greater detail on the movement/preparation phase by reporting the
movement involved, "anchoring things that might be damaged in
transport, taping,
wrapping, unplugging, blocking, inserting blocks
or "immobilizers".
d.
(S/NF/SK)
In the second session covered in this report,
(Session #3), Source continued to report on the object in terms
identical or similar to terms used in the previous two sessions.
Soon after beginning this session however, Source volunteered that He
was being driven by an overwhelming impression of a missile type
weapon and could not overcome this image. A central component of
this "weapon image" was further described as,
"storing of power.
Equipment for metering out electrical power.
Functions by small
surges of electric impulsings in rhythm through the system ... densely
packed to take advantage of space limitations ... ". A subsequent very

detailed sketch of a cylindrical object with these distinct
components (stages?) was the result of this early "drive".
Source
continued, at the direction of the Monitor, to objectify these strong
images of a missile with the hopes that either the images
would structure themselves out of the session or at least become
clarified enough to become confirmatory in nature.
In fact, neither
happened since Source was unable to "lose" the overwhelming images of
the missile weapon and was unable to definitively Clarify the actual
purpose/ function of the weapon.
Source was instructed, however, to
prepare a very detailed summary of His perceptions to attempt to
place these "drives" in perspective.
The entire summary in included
below, with parenthetical editing as required to insure clarity and
ease of reading.
BEGIN SUMMARY:
" (The) object presents extremely strong impression of
(a) missile or similar vehicle.
Smooth, glossy, streamlined, long,
thin, tapered with slight bulges externally.
(The) end has (a)
round, concentric, thin, metal constructions that are recessed.
There are folding protuberances on (the) end which extend when it is
important to keep the object steady.
Inside (the object there) are
three major components.
The first (component) is cylindrical ,
uniform in feature throughout. " (This component) doesn't do much when
other two sections are working.
A sense of "along for the ride".
Section two is always busy, monitor (ing) and control (ling)
function because of rhythmically pulsing electrical current.
It is
very complex and 'intricate, made of metal, plastic, connectors,
wires, power stores, power metering devices, etc.
Section three does
only one or two things but they're important and controlled by
Section two.
Section two is like a "clever little quy controlling a
big, dumb guy".
(There is) an idea of a "test" - combination of
development process starting from calculations and plans through
model and static testing to final
live test to see if it will do what
it's really suppose (to do) .
(There is a) sense that it goes from
storage to (a) vehicle test area
(where it) is assembled.
(This
area) is low, dusty, (some)
vegetation, like a tundra.
(When
the
object is used this area) is evacuated "like" a missile launch.
(The
object) then follows a trajectory and impacts (a) designated target
which seems to be on the surface.
( There is a) big flash, concussion
(and) a heat wave". END SUMMARY.

OPS FEEDBACK:
Source's strong impression of a missile
type weapon cannot be discounted as only an "AOL Drive" since it
seemed to be substantiated by earlier descriptives and the data
provided by another Source.
The possibility exists that the deep
uneé
sense of confusion felt by the Source was due to the fact that the
object pictured in the photograph was a component of a larger system
and forced Source to perceive the entire object when only a portion
was available as targeting material.
Earlier information provided by willet a
Source indicated the possibility of a binary chemical weapon however,

this information was so nebulous that the possibility of nuclear
weaponry was equally as possible.
Source's final summary would seem
to indicate a powerful concussive impact and an element of heat and
flash which is not normally associated with chemical weapon usage.
Source's strong drive at this time would seem to preclude further
tasking on this target at this time.
