(S/NF/SK) 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. 2. (S/NF/SK) SESSION: There were no reportable incidents or anomalies which may have affected or influenced the data provided in this report. 3. (S/NF/SK) 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 /NOFORN - SKEET CHANNELS ONLY Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000300530001-0

", 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 ... ".

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. 4. (S/NF/SK) 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, ==== /NOFORN - SKEET CHANNELS ONLY Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000300530001-0

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.
