At the same time an open ditch was under excavation along the eastern site boundary. This ditch was extended further toward the north by and was subsequently buried, 25X1 D terminating at a liquid disposal area. This disposal area increased in size as observed on subsequent missions.

The antenna face appeared light-toned on -photography as well as 25X1 D on subsequent available photography when the face was discernible until At that 25X1 D time approximately 190 feet along the northern end of the antenna face appeared dark.

Construction was ob- served during this time 125 feet cast of the base of the triangular facility (east of the site of a vertical screen to be developed subse- quently). Two linear areas were under de- velopment (including probable excava.tion), par- alleling the base of the triangular facility. The western strip approximated 40 feet in width, the eastern strip 25 feet in width, with a sepa- ration interval of 80 feet. 25X1 D ctivity was noted for the first time in the area adjacent to the base of the triangular facility. A structure under de- velopment, probably to provide the base for the vertical screen to be erected shortly, is light-toned, appears to be on ground level, and measures approximately 200 by 60 feet. It ex- tends from the northern edge of the Triangular 25X1 D facility and by had reached a 25X1 D 25X1 D 25X1 D 25X1 D 25X1 D point 45 feet from the southern edge of the facility. The area of activity observed in _ -falls to the east of this structure and appears dark in tone on this coverage. By with snow conditions prevailing, construction appeared to have taken place since - along the entire length mately 75 by 45 and is 15 feet high. The tri- angular facility is stepped or notched, approxi- mately 245 feet wide at the base, 85 feet wide at the apex, with a depth of 195 ff:et. Five steps are contained in the facility, with depths of the site of the future screen and just to the east of it. The triangular facility, the low building at the apex with connecting structure, and the verti- cal screen appeared complete or nearly com- plete externally on small-scale photography of -. The low flat-roofed building at the apex of the triangular facility measure; approxi- of approximately 80, 40, 20, 40 and 15 feet, respectively, from the base to the apex. The surface of the facility appears to be flat and of uniform height from the ground (approximately 10 feet). Although on almost every coverage the facility is highly reflective, appearing very light in tone, its composition cannot be as- certained from available photography. - 25X1 D 25X1 D _ the surface appears gray. Whether this 25X1 D tone is attributable to sun angle could not be determined. The gray/light tone noted on ~ 25X1 D apparently was ?~?, r, caused by a combination of snow and dust. Connecting the two facilities is a structure of undetermined width, approximately 30 feet long. Along the base of the triangular facility and feet from the southwest25X1 D corner of the control building a vertical screen approximately 110 feet high has been con- structed. Configuration details and mensuration must be considered as approximate since inter- pretation has been based almost entirely on shadow analysis. The screen is estimated to be at least 245' feet wide (possibly somewhat wider) and appears to abut the triangular facility at its base, with no apparent curvature. The vertical screen and the triangular facility appear to line up with each other at the southern extremity. Dense shadows and indistinct imagery preclude detailed interpretation of the northern extremity of the screen. However, the screen or an append- age to it may possibly extend a short distance beyond the northern terminal point of the tri- angular facility, as portrayed on Figure 8. Several small unidentified structures, too in- distinct. for graphic portrayal, are positioned close to and aligned with the northern and south- ern extremities of the screen. It is an estimated 35 feet at the base and _ at the top.
