PREFACE:
(S/NF /SG/LIMDIS)
The Special Activity Report is the third
in a series of reports which provides data in response to a
request from Joint Task Force Five (JTF-5) in Alameda,
California. The data provided in this report will be used by the
J22 division in their assessment effort regarding their
counterdrug mission. The information provided in this report was
generated by PAG-TA employing remote viewing (RV) methodologies.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) The data provided in this report is the
third in a series of taskings. This project concentrated on the
SG1B target
The results were forwarded to JTF-5 by
secure fax on 28 March 1994. The JTF-5 evaluation feedback is at
Appendix B.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) The methodology used in this activity is
exploratory. Results should not be considered as stand-alone;
but used or evaluated in conjunction with other proven data
sources (HUMINT, SIGINT, IMAGERY, OPEN SOURCE, and/or MASINT) .
Generic data (e.g., general shapes) are more reliable than
specific data (e.g. dimensions, names) .

DATA SUMMARIES:
(U)
Following are the perceived highlights from each
source.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source A:
-- The target is associated with a dark-haired, brown-
eyed individual who is pudgy or stocky in his physique. The
target is located near the shore on green land in a structure
with large windows (sketch a). A major lightly paved, somewhat
narrow and long road or highway is in the vicinity. The
individual is associated with photographs or negatives and may
have once been married, if not now. He has been involved with,
suspected of, and possibly caught for illegal drug activity to
include smuggling in the past. People are currently on his
trail. The individual is unable to move at this time with any
continued activity. His hands are tied, so to speak. He may be
hiding out. This individual or the people he has been associated
with are dangerous and are willing to take hostages or a life for
the sake of money.
(S/NF /SG/LIMBESB
Source
B:
-- The target,
is a middle-size freighter
(sketch b). It feels fairly new; this may come from it's
seemingly "new" outward appearance. It feels like a solid and
very heavy boat. It's current and/or intended course is in a
north-northwest direction. This is based on the perception that
land can be just seen from the port side of the vessel.
-- The location of interest on board occurs within the
foredeck portion of the vessel. It is a location where a number
of wooden slats or boards have been recently placed

(sketch c) .
This location is about half way between the deck and
water line, starboard and close to the bow. Metal stairs lead up
to this compartment from the back; all other access feels sealed
off right now.
-- The location of interest (sketch c) is described as
follows:
---
it is a "room" with wooden boards along the wall and
the floor feels as if it has been built up with wood as well; the
wood feels like it has been recently placed here and an attempt
has been made to "age" the boards with something reminiscent of
"dirty paint".
the starboard/bow corner of this "room" does not feel
right; it doesn't feel as solid or dense as the rest of the
vessel.
--
there are long tubes or pipes lying on the "floor"
and parallel to the starboard wall.
---
objects which appear as "half barrels" are clustered
in the same starboard/bow corner as mentioned above. These "half
barrels" feel heavily constructed of metal; green; the caps or
lids are faded black.
the forward or bow-ward wall is very solid and feels
like very dense metal; the lower left corner of this wall doesn't
feel as solid as the rest of the wall, as previously mentioned.
-- Other characteristics associated with this vessel and
it's current actions include:
---
a number of large, flat sheets of dark material;
these occur in very heavy stacks.
---
regular sized barrels or drums grouped in 4's and
banded together; these are black with either white or yellow.
at least one object which has the appearance of a
detached aircraft wing (sketch d). Something doesn't feel right
about the wing-shaped object (s) : the "filler" substance, i. e.
foam/whatever, feels too heavy and too solid.
the letters CON CA
large, white bags which contain a powdery substance
i.e. flour,
lime or fertilizer, etc.

--- a very large light mounted on the superstructure
reminiscent of a search light.
a flat topped vessel nearby which feels almost
abandoned; it has crates with coverings, large cable wenches and
"more stairs than feels normal".

Source C:
-- The target consisted of a structure that was isolated.
The structure was small, square, and low to the ground. The
structure was dark in color and there was tall grass around it.
The structure was uncared for. It seems as though people come
here to meet sometimes but always at night.
-- The target activity consists of weapons and weaponry.
It looked as though high power rifles are part of the scenario.
-- An individual is part of the activity. This person is
a hispanic male in his late thirties. He is short and he wears a
mustache. He has dark hair and he was wearing a pink shirt.
This individual keeps himself in the city in the day time. He
surrounds himself by other people. This individual has been
involved with drug trafficking in the past. His position in a
drug cartel is not one of high importance but not low importance
either. He is a middleman. He considers himself a businessman.
-- Currently, there is not much activity around the
individual. It seems as though he is keeping a low profile.
-- As for location, the word "Shannon/Shanawa" or
"Channon/Chanaw" phonetically surfaced. The location could
pertain to the structure, the weapons activity or the individual
or all three.
