Monitor Tasking:
Describe the Soviet counterpart to the
US
"Stealth" aircraft.
2. (S/NF/SK)
Source Tasking: (a) Is there a counterpart (located
somewhere else) to the aircraft described in the previous sessions?
If
so, describe it.
(b) What is the purpose of the aircraft?
(c) Where
would it be based?
(d) Describe an operation.
3. (S/NF/SK)
Summary:
Source immediately perceived the concept of
"Stealth", whereupon the monitor decided to read the Source on to the
uject in its entirety.
Summary (including post-session debrief and
sketches) attached.
4. (S/NF/SK)
Comments:
Long breaks taken between each sub-task, or
"cue".
It is the monitor's opinion that the Source is describing the
Soviet exoatmospheric aircraft project. The concept employed, although
unique and futuristic, is not known to incorporate "Stealth".
This
session should prove particularly valuable to DIA-DT.

SESSION SUMMARY
SESSION: 21 AUG 87, 0823-0927hrs
Q. Is there a counterpart to the aircraft described in the previous session ?
A. Yes and no. The idea has been conceptualized. There appears to be a
Scale model) that is being tested at this time. The body is flat and wide , the
leading edge of the wings start almost at the nose of the aircraft, and this
vehicle is " High -Tech", incorporating the " STEALTH" concept.

Q. What is the purpose of this aircraft ?
A. At this point, it is strictly experimental. It's unique properties are high altitude
and radar. I'm not sure whether the aircraft has a unique radar, or a unique radar profile.
Q. Where would this aircraft be based ?
A. Somewhere to the far north, near a northern coastline. This aircraft will need
a very long runway to operate from. It is very cold and clark here.
Q. Describe this aircraft in operation.
A. Aircraft is heading north .... over the North Pole, or to the northeast. It is
traveling at a very high altitude. It is so high that there is not enough oxygen
to operate a normal engine. The engines of this aircraft are dual functioning .
they operate normally in an atmosphere, but require some sort of liquid gas,
under pressure, to operate out of the atmosphere. This is a new technology.

POST SESSION ANALYSIS
SESSION: 21 AUG87, 0823-0927 hrs
The concept of this aircraft is radical and advanced . It is high-tech and
stealth-like. Its' purpose is to operate within and outside of the earths atmosphere.
AOL matching indicates a dual purpose, like a cross between an SR-71 and al 20
Velgenca
a Space Shuttle.

I feel that the design and testing of this vehicle is not being conducted by
the people or agency that are responsible for the design of experimental aircraft.
It is being designed and within the Space Program and at Space Research Spuril
Facilities.
For first signs of this vehicle keep an eye on the Space Research and Testing
facilities.
