Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001200150009-4 UNCLASSIFIED WORKING PAPER Target #: Date: 12 OCT 90 Time: 0930-0945 Viewer: 052 Session: 01 SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The target is a structure. It is harrow, curved and longer on one end. There is a very loud noise here, it is a trembling/vibrating roar. Everything seems to be shaking and moving back and forth. There is a blue light that is round and small. It is really neat when this light comes It has a lot of energy and a humming sound when it comes on. Otherwise this place is dark .. It is a military or scientific target. There is a lot of energy here. It makes me think of a rocket taking off into space. There is a pointed thing, curved on the end, that is surrounded by bright light or energy on all sides. There are people here, they seem to be working on this object, making sure everything is in order and working properly. They are wearing weird outfits that look like protective clothing. There is something bright that is round on the top and squares off on both sides. This is surrounded by black. It has a lot of energy and seems to be giving off heat. There are various shapes here and many of them are rounded. There is a ball shape with a curved thing in the middle and gadgets all around it. It is silver, shiny and made of metal. There is a shape that it pointed in all directions, see sketches. I really like this place, but I am not sure if I am inside or outside.

5240 126 The SLAVA-Class guided missile cruiser. second KIROV-Class nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser; the addition of five other at- tack submarines; six major surface combat- ants; 46 fighter-bombers; over 40 helicopters, mostly ASW versions; and one long-range ASW BEAR F. Late in 1983, the third unit of the KIEV-Class carriers and the second unit of the IVAN ROGOV-Class amphibious as- sault ships departed for the Pacific Fleet via the Indian Ocean. Earlier, the SLAVA-Class cruiser-provisionally identified last year as the KRASINA-Class-made her maiden voy- age out of area from the Black Sea to the Northern Fleet and back again. The aircraft carrier being built at Nikolayev on the Black Sea is assessed to be nuclear powered, and it is expected to have a full- length flight deck. Because it is likely that this ship is being designed to carry conven- tional take off and landing aircraft, instead of the KIEV's vertical take off and landing type, it will probably be fitted with arresting gear and steam catapults like those on US aircraft carriers. This ship and her new aircraft will begin tests before the end of the decade. The new class of Soviet carriers will help to eliminate deficiencies in two areas. The first is air defense of their naval forces beyond the ranges of land-based fighter aircraft. Second- ly, the Soviets have an active interest in im- proving their distant area power projection capabilities to become more influential in the Third World. To achieve this goal, they need to be able to provide air protection for naval forces as well as to protect and assist ground forces operating ashore. Thus, it is expected that the aircraft on the new carrier will have both air-to-air and ground support mission capabilities. At Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam and in the Dah- lak Archipelago off Ethiopia in the southern Red Sea, the Soviets have achieved signifi- 64 65 Chapter III Theater Fortes Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001200150009-4 CPYRGHT Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001200150009-4
