(S/NF/SK) Tasking: Original tasking data sheet in ops officer files. No additional instructions received. 2. (S/NF/SK) 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 SECRET NOFORN-SKEET CHANNELS ONLY CLASSIFIED BY: DIA-DT DECLASSIFY : OADR Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002000380001-8 :
Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002000380001-8 JOURET/NOFORN-SKEET CHANNELS ONLY 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?") .
