The name "Putman" phonetically surfaced to describe a US military/government official having partial access to this facility. The area highlighted in yellow (ENCLOSURE 1), is described as the "industrial site" dedicated to research and development efforts in (conceptual) "mathematical designs, " advanced weaponry with space applications, development of advanced optics and laser systems. The area highlighted in red (ENCLOSURE 1), is mostly if not exclusively, dedicated to R&D efforts in optics and lasers. Concepts related to the focus and direction of light beams were described with what phonetically surfaced as the "Alman Ring. " A conceptual representation of the "Alman Ring" with light dots is at ENCLOSURE 2. Raw, conceptual data related to ongoing R&D target activity surfaced phonetically as follows: "Quasar/Qualar", believed to be some sort of laser system; "Brunizem" activity; the use of "brucine" (a poisonous alkaloid) ; and "stoichiometry" (dealing with laws of proportion and conservation of energy).

Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000600250002-7 "Stillman" phonetically surfaced as someone knowledgeable of this ongoing research effort. The results of pure research efforts conducted in the "red" area are pursued in the "yellow" industrial area to develop the practical application of these scientific findings. A series of "DF" (Direction Finding ?) antennas (See Sketch at ENCLOSURE 2) appeared related to the transmission and receipt of information from a Soviet space satellite conceptually represented in a sketch at ENCLOSURE 4.
