SG1B - (S/NF/LIMDIS) Source A Assessment. (DOI: 23 JAN 91): a. Site function is associated with unusual emanations and has numerous automatic functions: - High technology diagnostics. - Emanations may cause physical maladies (i.e., nausea, headaches). . - Flashes of blue are relevant. b. Object/equipment associations include: - Large pyramid or peaked shapes (Figure 1), with humming sounds and spinning motion. - May be flaps on the object. - Bars and disks are also present, with rings (Figure 2). - Many disarrayed thin elongated objects are present. c. Overall area is flat with features incorporated into very rugged terrain. (S/NF/LIMDIS) Source B Assessment. (DOI: 23 JAN 91): a. Function is associated with storage and loading, possibly with under- ground aspects: . - May have chemical munitions. - Shaking and vibration motions are associated, with some circular motion. - Ceiling may have a sliding/opening capability, and may be made of very thin metal. b. Main object(s) have missile-like shapes. c. Various smaller objects have fan-type shapes (Figure 3).

(U) SOURCE 018: (DOI: 24 Jan 91). b. (S/NF /LIMDIS) £ DATA SUMMARY: - Site may be a shallow-buried missile launch facility. 4 - Site appears to have one-story cinder block structures with sloping walls that have earth-cover to blend in with terrain: 0 Surrounding area has natural looking indentations. o There seem to be thin translucent panels to the walls. o Long pointed cylinders (probably missiles) may be inside the buildings. o Possible missiles launched from within the building "break through" the translucent panels. - Front ends of the cylinders seem to have a compressed mixture with a sticky, rubbery texture that is probably a high energy explosive. 4 Approved For Release@000/08/03) SECRET RDP96-00789R002900230004-2 Noforn
