On 20 April 1990, three remote viewers (# 003,
011
and 079)
conducted a total of three SOLO sessions in an
effort to answer requirements against the vessel known by call
sign

known
location for
the vessel was
determined to
be about 20 nautical miles south of Andros Island.
Projected activity involves the
use of an aircraft to effect a
possible air drop of
contraband in the form of illegal drugs.
The customer provided the following EEI:
a.
Describe the vessel and identify its name.
b.
Describe the aircraft
involved and identify its call
sign.
c.
Determine the location of the airdrop to the target
vessel, if any and describe the circumstances/time of unloading.
d.
Where will
the contraband be unloaded/transferred from
the vessel?
2.
(S/STD/NF) 003 reported that the vessel involved is involved
is circa 50 ft long, with a two

front.

are light-colored,
almost white, while its hull is dark colored.
There is an oblong radar antenna turning on the pilot house roof.
The aircraft involved is
medium sized,

(S/STD/NF )
When
003
tried to focus on the question of
when /where
the airdrop would
take place, he keyed into an
"activity of importance occurring currently (20 1130L APR 90) at
approx 1930N/7810W (NW of Jamaica, S of Carnaguay, Cuba) . The
activity is occurring at the present time (201120 Apr 90), is
occurring over a 1 to 1 1/2 day
window, but will conclude about
dusk today
(20
Apr)."
003
could not identify whether this
activity was
related
to
the
operation
identified
the
requirements
or
whether
it
is separate. From the operational
in
data it would appear that
this
is
a separate activity, which
because of its potential
importance and immediate nature caught
the attention of the viewer.
4.
(S/STD/NF )
011 reported
that the vessel is a small, white
pleasure
ship,
approximately
30
feet long.
It has
a
superstructure which is located just forward of midships and a
cabin below
the forward deck (note sketches on EEI sheet at TAB
B). The aircraft is a small, twin-engine craft reminiscent of an
Army U-21 in appearance.
011 was not able to obtain any location
data.
5.
(S/STD/NF)
079 reported that the vessel, call
sign
is
a
Small,
open
vessel.
The aircraft involved is small and
light-weight.
The
aircraft has
a call
sign that
sounds like
"Sephen/Stephen/Sephten. " The airdrop will take place in 3 hours
to 3 days (time of session 20 0900-1000L
APR 90)
at 25 N 80 W.
The term "kilglight/kligolight/kilight"
is somehow associated
with this operation.
