Session:
After a review of his previous session
source was informed that the session would begin in Stage VI with an
exploration of the idea "trajectory".
3. (S/NF/SK) Summary: Among the concepts associated with whatever
it is that makes up the "trajectory" are: "pulse, rhythmic, regular,
rapid, sequential, directional, polarized and out-phased"; (AOL-"energy
beam weapon"). A roaring sound occurs at the target structure.
The
effects (not visible during travel) arrive to the target from a
direction almost parallel to the horizon.
The effects follows a
"wiggly" course to the target, (AOL-"like a lightning bolt from the
sky") .
There is a sense of two components -- a designator and a "cause",
(AOL-"laser designator and a smart missile"). The causal object
(smooth, shiny, matte, rounded, etc. ) is funny-shaped; there are various
different shapes associated: protrusions, angles, substructures. It is
supported on "leg/outriggers/landing gear", like it is spring-loaded or
bouncy. There is little internal empty space; wires, cables, circuits,
electronic parts, guiding/controlling/projecting mechanisms, and IFF
circuits.
(The system operates so rapidly, specially designed IFF is
necessary to prevent accidental destruction of friendly or neutral
targets). Part of the object is capable of rotating, or rapid
directional changes; hydraulics seem to be employed here, (AOL-"belly
gunner on a B-25") and descriptions of slewing, elevation and "whirring
sound".
There is a sense of mobility capability associated. The object
is self contained but requires "replenishment" after prolonged use;
solids are required that are involved in sublimation/solid-to-vapor

reactions. A very involved process of "recharging spent unit", unit-
for-unit replacement, connecting, disconnecting and switching.
In use
there is a instantaneous effect; crackling sound, burning, flashing,
like welding or sparkles, very bright, acrid smells, charring, fusing,
burning and spalling. This effect cannot be seen, but there is a
tremendous feel of substance to it. The system is not always
dependable, there are design bugs and mixed blessings. It sometimes
fails to function embarrassingly, usually because of a sub-system
problem.
It is so complex that optimum performances parameters are
seldom completely met. Designers are working to correct shortcomings,
but this is problematic because of certain physical principles having to
do with operating capabilities.
4. (S/NF/SK) Feedback:
After the session, source was informed that
this project has a "short fuse" (to which he responded, "Like the
structure?") .
