DATA SUMMARIES
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Following are the perceived highlights
from each source.
- (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
Source A:
SG1A
-- The term
is associated with a small boat, a
brown eyed man, and possibly green plants. The small boat is
located ocean side and may be scheduled to meet with a small to
medium white vessel with masts for a drug related activity.
A
transfer of contraband will occur in the near term.
- (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source B:
SG1A
SG1A
-- The term
refers to a location. The
activity associated with
has been given a window by
the planners of 7 to 10 days to take place. This will occur
between April 25 and May 6. However, an extreme natural process
or phenomenon will interfere with the development and evolution
of "cigarette".
-- Whatever is being dealt with, it will be brought into
this location by air and will be taken away by air.
SG1A
is a location within an area of extensive
sand dunes
(Attachment A) . These dunes, however, do not occur
with what is normally considered a desert environment; they are
an anomaly for the area. This location used to be commercially
exploited but is no longer viable. This commercial activity was
associated with the concept of a "sand mining" or "sand
processing" activity.
SG1A
-- Specifically,
is located on the back side
of the sand dunes. It is hidden from a large, developed area
(i.e. city) which can be seen in the distance.

BARET
-- This location contains a hard, narrow "L"-shaped
feature reminiscent of a small landing strip (Attachment B) .
This landing strip appears to disappear right into the dunes.
However, the foot portion of the "L" runs in front of a large,
open structure. This structure feels like an abandoned warehouse
or storage facility. It is constructed of blocks reminiscent of
cement or poured concrete (Attachment C) . There is a second
structure present. It is tall, squarish and constructed of wood
(Attachment D) . The exterior is faded and is appears very
weathered.
-- The faint outline of a road or trail may be perceived
leading away from the larger structure (Attachments B&C) . It may
have once been well used access, but is now covered over by
sand. It is very hard to perceive.
-- There are several sets of large power lines and a
large suspension bridge associated with the developed area in the
distance. There is a mountain range which separates this "city"
from a body of water reminiscent of an ocean. The mountains in
this particular vicinity are famous for a lot of fog.
-- The terms "FLAT TOP" and "POT LID" were perceived as
associated with this target.
-- A cement reinforced trough-shape hole has been
tunneled into the dunes (Attachment E) .
- (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source C:
-- Activity consists of a man on a small vessel.
This
vessel is in shallow waters near land. It seems as though the
man waits for a larger vessel to come in. I could see the man
taking something off the smaller vessel and putting it on land.
Overall, the activity is drug related and occurs at night.
-- Coordinates 16 degrees north and 78 degrees west
surfaced.
-- As far the significance of
as stated in
the tasking, it probably relates to a type of boat in this
scenario as opposed to someone smoking. However,
also relate to marijuana or it could be a codeword.
As to
SG1A
could
SG1A
SG1A
whether or not
is time-sensitive, one can easily
assume that it is.
