NARRATIVE EVALUATION
STAR GATE PROJECT 94-230-0
8 April 1994
Soirce A:
Source A's description bears little resemblance to the
actual 20 minute test in which I concentrated on the boat
brochure. However, if we take the entire day's activity, not
just the 20 minute period, then there are a number of
correlations. Although I concentrated on the boat brochure
during the test, in the afternoon my wife and I went to the boat
dealer to take delivery of a new boat similar to the one
pictured. This entire boat buying experience has been one of
intense anticipation, excitement and anxiety, Late ir
afternoon we took the boat to a county park on the Pot ....
: River
and put it in the water for the fi - time.
I drive , very dark gray Ford Explorer 4X4 (the Jeep-like
vehicle) and, naturally, drive through a residential area on my
way to and from work. The building where I work is a two story
modern brick building with large glass panes covering the front.
There is a red and white two-star general's flag flying out in
front. The cars are parked in rows in front of the building.
There are grass areas and shrubery in front of and to the side of
the building. There is a heavy set man associated with the site,
I think he was here on Friday, but can't be sure. I remember
seeing him in the hallway, but don't remember exactly when,
I can't correlate the large grid structure with the curves
on it to anything in the area. Occasionally one of the
employee's children will be found in the building, but I don't
remember if they were there on Friday. I can't correlate the
black iron fence or the people with helmets and headsets. The
public address system is used to call people to the phone. There
is no water associated with the site except for normal plumbing
and sprinkler systems.
There is a very small, dirty, mud hol
pond about a block away.
Late in the day, 4-5pm, I was at a county park where we test
drove the new boat, but my time was spent at the launching ramp
and parking lot, not the picnic . was (warm and dry, not damp and
green) .
Source B:
When interpreted as a large area seen from a distance,
source B's reports also bear little resemblance to the test
period. However, if interpreted as small objects seen close up,
then there is a significant correlation. Again, the entire day's
events have to be included, not just the 20 minute test period.
When seen close up, the stern of the new boat has many of
the described features. The stern is made up of several curved

surfaces under the swim platform which form the transom and rear
deck area. I bent down under the stern while the boat was on the
trailer to put in the transom plug. I had a closed in feeling at
that time. This occured at about 4:15pm at the park on the
river. The transom is hard, white, smooth fiberglass. At the
conler bottom of the transom is a brass ring about three inches
in diameter with a one-inch hole in the center into which I
screwed the brass drain plug. When screwed in, the plug has a
raised top that sticks out that the wrench is used on. The brass
is new and shinny, like the sun. This area is clearly
illustrated in Attachments C and E.
The black wing-shaped item is most probably the stern drive
unit.
My head was right in front of it, between it and the
transom, while I screwed the plug in. Moving water is definately
associated with the stern of the boat, but not while I was
putting the plug in.
The sterile feeling, feeling of solemness and chest
tightning feelings could be associated with the fiberglass hull
and my feelings of excitement and anxiety. My nose was only a
few inches away from the hull while putting the plug in and at
other times that afternoon.
For a brief time around 4 pm my wife
and I sat in the car and listened to music on the radio while at
the park. There were a few people moving slowly about the
parking lot and launch ramp.
Other items could be associated with the picture in the 20
minute test. The capped-off feeling or curved drop-off could be
the bow of the boat in the picture, or the stern also. It could
also be the feeling I had when under the stern of the boat
putting in the drain plug. The tilted curving feature could be
the colored stripes on the sun deck at the rear of the boat
picture. The stripes are red and gray with the major portion of
the sun deck being off-white. The black cube-like objects may be
the shape of the picture, you will see that there are several
squares within squares making up the layout of the picture. The
curving objects could be the curved dashboards in front of the
occupants of the boat.
The series of triangular shaped objects in a row could be
che colors of the bow in the picture. If you scan from left to
right, as I did during the test, you see first the left, white
fore deck, then the red stripe going to the point of the bow,
then the right half of the fordeck, followed by the two oval
windows on the right hand side. This could be interpreted as
several triangles attached together as described.
I cannot correlate the fresh, green, damp smell or the
swinging doors without glass.
Source C:
The large object could be the picture of the stern of the
boat, described in attachment G. The small triangular kite-like

objects could be the stingray symbol at the top center of the
picture or the series of colors across the bow described above.
The site is a large red brick building. The letters "IITRI "are
attached to the front of the building, but they are not part of a
separate billboard sign with white background as described.
However, at the bottom center of the boat brochure is a square
with "1994" in it, somewhat similar to what is described by the
source. The overall brochure could bedescribed as a square,
white sign with orange-red letters saying "STINGRAY" at the top.
The site is not near a shopping mall (closest one is about 1/4
mile away), but the front of the building does look like a strip
mall with glass panes all along the front. There were a couple
of employee's children at the site last week, but I don't
remember if they were there on Friday, the day of the test.
I was sitting at my desk during the entire 20 minute period
of the test. I wear a wide (approx 3/8") wedding band with
etched arcs like interlocking rings cut into the surface, but no
other jewelry. I was trying to be calm and concentrate. I had
closed the office door and turned off the phone ringer.
There is no water associated with the site, except for
normal plumbing and the small mud pond a block away. But, in the
late afternoon I was definately near the water with the boat.
Attachment A: Unable to correlate. There is a brick building on
Route 1 that we passed on the way to the park with the boat that
has the rounded features described.
I have always admired that
building, but I don't remember even noticing it when I passed it
last Friday.
Attachment B: Unable to correlate.
Attachment C: Almost positive it is the stern of the boat with
the brass drain plug at the bottom.
Attachment D: Unable to definately correlate. Pictures al and
a2 are possibly the oval windows in the bow of the boat picture
(the real boat doesn't have the windows), or the curved dash
consoles in the boat. They could also be another interpretation
of the pointed stripes at the bow of the boat in the picture.
I
have no explaination of the dark gray cylinder in picture b.
Attachment E: Clearly the brass drain hole and plug, it is
described exactly. The curved object could be any part of the
curved surfaces of the hull, but probably the curved stern under
the swim platform above the drain hole.
Attachment F: The objects appear to be from the picture of the
boat I used during the 20 minute test. The curved object with
lines to the left is probably the stern with the water rushing
away, or, possibly the curve of the bow.
I concentrated on the
curves a lot during the test. The mountain is the bow of the
boat picture with the stripe down the center. It is even tilted

gray and red strips on the stern sun deck in the picture. The
black cubes could be the squares of the brochure layout.
Attachment G:
The stern of the boat in the picture with the
water rushing.
Attachment H:
Possibly the stingray symbol at the top of the
brochure, or an interpretation of the pointed stripes at the bow
in the picture.
