It is built almost completely for power, and is the size of a tugboat, in spite of its speedboat appearance. It is white in color and has lines along its side, like siding on a house. These lines are patterened differently in the very front (see Fig. 1). It came to the receiving ship from a peninsula of land, where a group of structures overlook the water (see Fig. 2). It is much smaller than the receiving ship. 2. (S/STD) Determine where within the marked borders on the map (Fig. 3) where the receiving ship will offload its cargo: The receiving ship appears South of Alaskan to unload its cargo along the southern part of Alaska, just north of the Peninsula Alcutfan islands (see Fig. 3) . (Circa 16/ w. S/N. 3. (S/STD) HF radio will be used. Determine: a. Frequencies used: If one were to lay the HF spectrum over a spectrum of visible light (rainbow), the receiving ship's frequency would be located at light green. Another frequency was also noted, coming from a northeasterly direction, somewhere on land. This frequency would be at STIPPLED NOFORN SPECIAL ACCESS REQUIRED Handle Via SKEET Channels Only Approved For Release 2003/09/03 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000900410039-6 1

Callsigns used: I got the impression of two callsigns: one, heard on the purplish-blue frequency, sounded like "Edmundson" or "Edmontson". The other, heard on the light green frequency, sounded like "Florin" or "Florintine". c. Languages used: Listening to the person on the light green frequency, no definitely identifiable words were perceived. I got only mush-mouthed, nasaly-gutteral, and very irritating sounds from a man with an otherwise deep, attractive voice. The language is almost certainly French.

(S/STD) The site consists of two structures, strongly connected in some non-physical way. (Feedback: two ships). 2. (S/STD) £ Describe the vessel (s): The receiving vessel is large, mainly gray, with black at the waterline and possibly along the top. The superstructure is large, yellow and black in color, and has a sharp vertical front. There is a flag on the ship, hanging off a slack rope (see Fig. 4). This flag is divided vertically. The half near the rope is white and the other half is red. The deck on the front of the vessel has objects lying on it in the pattern shown in Fig. 5. 3. (S/STD) Determine the transfer location: (Time: 1330 hrs local, 23 circa (14 N/12SE) } MAR 90) There were several impressions all across the map area, but the strongest is in the islands on the north-east of the Phillippines (see map, Fig. 1). 4. (S/STD) There is a "thing" on board the receiving vessel which is large (see Fig. 2), and which has very sturdy, having been designed to have thick portions surrounding very delicate mechanisms in order to give them protection. 5.

The vessels are common to the area and have been selected for that reason -- to limit exposure. There will be a small, slow diesel powered vessel which will deliver the contraband under the cover of darkness to the larger one. The larger vessel is of Panamanian registry and is a cargo vessel normally used to transport bulk produce. There is a strong possibility that the vessel transports oil in small quantities also. + 08N/121E wsw G Philippine Jolanda The transfer of the narcotics will take place at the position indicated on the map -- on the open water. The transfer will be accomplished on a nigh when there is no moon visible -- I think that the stars are out there is just no moon. The location for delivery of the contraband is not in the map area it is to the east as indicated by the arrow on 2 59N/133 map #2. * The radios used during the exchange are simple FM and not HF. The smaller ship is using a small radio (looks like a PRC 77). The frequencies are in the 35.00, 85.35, 95.55; I'm not real clear on these. Callsigns to be used are indicated on the sketches and the language used will be Filipino. I got some strong indications that this effort is being supported by members Approved For Release 2003/09/03 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000900410039-6 of the Filipino Military forces.
