Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000600890001-8 Vessel involved has more curve to its hull lines than one might usually expect. Its bow is pitched higher and sharper. Vessel is fairly large, with an unusually deep draft for its length and width. Bottom of hull is more rounded than pointed, almost ball-like. It is presently moving south before it eventually turns due west. I is in open water, but approaching landfall off in distance over horizon. Land is flat, heavily forested and vegetated. Sense of palm-like trees, but also heavy undergrowth except one place with nice lawns that come right down to the water. A sense of estate or country-club: manicured sort of grounds-keeping. In the vessel are long, hard, smooth, slightly slippery objects that are longitudinal but lying horizontally. They are in a dark, relatively narrow, confined space that is stuffy and hard to access, with some sort of concept of "saddle tanks" -- space is not geometrically regular -- that is not exactly rectangular. It seems to follow the curves of the vessel, not centered, but towards the side of the vessel , below deck level, towards or a little forward of the middle. It might be matched by a similar space on the opposite side of the vessel, though there is less impression that anything of interest is carried therein. The objects have rounded, but also boxey- shaped portions; they are stored together, and make a clacking sort of sound when bumped together. They are wrapped or enveloped in thick material like chamois (tan, smooth/soft, but tough, though not especially valuable). The objects are definitely being taken somewhere to be unloaded/delivered. There doesn't seem to be a sense that they are being specifically "traded" or exchanged for something else -- almost more a sense of being sold. Whatever is being received in exchange is much smaller in volume for the equivalent value. A/S of a white, powdery, floury sort of stuff. Also something darker in color along with it that's also valuable. It glints in places, with a sense of brittleness and translucence. Little sparkles, like flecks of mica seen in a handful of clay or dirt. There's an impression it's highly valuable, though I can't see why. There's a sense that the present location of the vessel is the Gulf of Mexico. Objects were originally in a large, old, musty, damp, dank, dark, dilapidated warehouse-like structure, with an ambience of southern-US (perhaps Alabama/Mississippi/Delta area) . Somewhat inland but still accessible by marine transport. "Like" New Orleans, "like" a little ways up a river, but smaller and less ostentatious. Deep south feel to it, "like" Mobile. Objects don't seem to be the latest type -- more like used or surplus, but still highly functional and well kept. A/S suggestion of weapons. If they are, they are long, not easily concealable, probably capable of full auto. Reminds me of Bundeswehr MG-42s/US -60 and/or Belgian FALs/German G-3s. There is an element of shady dealing here, though usually not strictly illegal -- a gestalt of a business that the authorities tend to "look the other way" about, though in this specific case they may' not be so inclined.
