PREFACE:
(S/NF /SG/LIMDIS)
The Special Activity Report is the first
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 first report
concentrated on the target vessel
The results were
forwarded to JTF-5 by secure fax on 24 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 then
specific data (e.g. dimensions, names) .

Following are the perceived highlights from each
source.
(S/NF /SG/LIMDIS)
Source A:
-- The target is a white medium to large vessel. Men are
aboard, some of which are immigrants or foreigners that are
either dark skinned and or wearing dark clothing. The ship has
been at some point off the coast of California but is currently
moving westward in Pacific waters possibly near the Hawaiian
Islands. There are clear liquid plastic containers aboard and
some heavy equipment. Some munitions and ammunition can be found
for defense purposes aboard ship. The men aboard are watching
and observing to perhaps make a connection. The activity is
illegal contraband, and the transfer of this cargo.
Intervention
could occur within the next two weeks.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source B:
SG1A
-- Sketch 3a is an advance visual prior to session start.
The target
is associated with fish, either
commercial or sports; however, it also feels like a combination
of both. The target has a "trawler-like" appearance but it's bow
seems more like a sports fishing vessel. This makes it feel as
if it is also involved with another type of fishing activity
(sketches 3b & c) .
-- The target is currently in trouble; it is being pounded
by water. It seems to be turned in the wrong direction to handle
the weather/waves/surf conditions (i.e. facing shore) .

The target appears outwardly abandoned but is occupied. It is
stationary and bobbing in pretty rough water right now.
-- An area where high, steep terrain meets "frothy" water is
within view of the target. There is a long, gently rising point
of sand or bare land which juts out into the water away from the
steep terrain. This feature extends for a long ways (see
overhead terrain (sketch 3d) . A road or "jeep trail" occurs on
top of this steep terrain and follows the edge of the "drop-off"
(sketch 3e) .
-- The target is involved with illegal activities concerning
fishing. There is a sense that "the wrong kinds of animals are
being killed or exploited". These animals are reminiscent of sea
mammals (i.e. non-fish type animals). The target is involved
with illegal contraband. The target has carried long, white and
curved objects which "feel" animal in origin. However, the
target feels as if it is about to become "dirty" in another,
unperceived, way.
-- There is the sense that the target is off of the western
coast of northern part of Central America but at the same time,
feels associated with an area north of Washington state; possibly
the Alaska/British Columbia border. It is anchored close to an
isolated and rugged shoreline.
--
Other associated features, concepts or perceptions
relating to this target (to include those depicted by sketches)
include:
---
something abnormal about the hull; there are extra
angles, points and/or curved projections extending out from the
side of the target.
--- a feature reminiscent of a sort of folding "chute"
attached to an interior wall of the target.
rippling slats of wood.
a large reel of parachute-type cord.
the presence of weapons or objects associated with
weapons (sketches 3f & g). These are associated with a large,
green wooden box which appears attached to the wall and floor and
located amidship on the starboard side.

an individual is walking in standing water in a lower
level of the vessel. There is a lot of water coming in due to
the action of the water. There is a ladder located on the port
side of the vessel in this location.
the "holding" section of the vessel is exposed and is
currently either empty or is not "holding" or containing what it
is intended to hold.
the concept of "3 weeks" is important.
there are flat, layered objects which have been
"sandwiched" tightly together.
there is a platform-like feature associated with
"standing" which extends out over the bow of the vessel.
---
there is a large opening through a box-like feature
which provides access both "in and out" of the vessel's interior
area.
---
there are one or two slanted "booms" which extend out
over the stern.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source C:
-- The target consists of a vessel that has been known to
carry illegal contraband along the coast of California. The
vessel can be considered medium to large and has the color white,
blue or red. The vessel is currently moving on waters (Pacific
Ocean?) near Northern California.
