MEMORANDUM FOR THE ASSISTANT DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR SCIENTIFIC AND
TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE
SUBJECT: SUN STREAK Operational Report - Project 8715 (U)
1. (S/NF/SK) During the period of 22 September 1987 to 13
October 1987 inclusively, four remote viewers conducted 16
sessions in an effort to describe a facility of US intelligence
interest at 1284/6712, the nature of the activity taking place at
the facility, and the manner in which this activity is
accomplished.
a. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 079 described the target site as being
located in a somewhat round and U-shaped, open, and secure area
situated near a large body of water in the vicinity of brown,
sloping hills. A city was located nearby. The target structure
resembled an old, red-brick building having a distinctive facade
of large, dark, windows. The nearby presence of a seagoing
vessel was noted. Viewer 079.described and sketched the presence
of a wheel-type apparatus (TAB A:. considered of high functional
significance. to similar apparatus was described and sketched by
Viewer 003.1 Spherical-devices (TAB B), capable of being raised
or lowered, were intrinsically related to the ongoing activity.
Men wore baggy, protective clothing and protective eyeglasses
while working in the target building. The three spheres
contained a wet, thick, heavy, foamy, liquid considered dangerous
and toxic upon exposure. Viewer 079 ended one session with the
statement, "the contents (end product) reminded me of gas." The
final product was stored in long, dark, padded, and narrow
shelves. Ultimately, it will be sprayed under considerable
pressure and in great quantities in a manner somehow related to
the concept of "growth and planting." Viewer summaries dated 21
September 1987, 28 September 1987, 30 September 1987, 2 October
1987, and 9 OctoberJ987 are at TAB C.

b. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 011 described the target building as a
tall, angular, vertical, grey-white-appearing structure located
in a predominantly level area with a hard surface. The pungent
odor of an unidentified chemical permeated the area. The
perceived presence of an acute sterile environment, a laboratory,
microscopes, glass rods with cultures, were indicative of
activities normally associated with medical or biological fields
of endeavor. The end-product leaves the target location by truck
and is subsequently transported by ship. Upon arrival at an
intermediate destination, the end-product is again transported by
truck to its final destination, a secure area comprised of long,
single story buildings (TAB D). The end product is stored in
ribbed cylinders (TAB E). This final product is comprised of a
mixture of liquid gas and a fine powdery substance described as
oily, slippery, like graphite, yet resembling talcum powder. The
raw material is a hard, lumpy, clay-like mineral. Two other
ingredients used in the process include a gray, metallic powdery
substance and a liquid that appears to be a synthetic chemical
that is used as a highly volatile solvent. In a subsequent
session, Viewer 011 perceived the end-product as being
transported from the secure area in a large white van equipped
with shelves and a heavy gauge wire-mesh divider. The final
product consists of a somewhat firm, yet powdery substance that
is cylindrically shaped in the form of small, heavy pellets TAB
F). Viewer 011's summaries dated 22 September 1987, 24 September
1987, 2 October 1987, and 13 October 1987 are at TAB G.
c. (S/NF/SK) At the very outset of his initial session,
Viewer 018's attention was quickly and forcefully focused on a
"pile of grey, powdery substance" having a sour, bitter, taste
and stored in a large seemingly, empty room. The target site was
located in the near vicinity of a port/dock area. Viewer 018
perceived the presence of two structures. The first was a tall
building of ribbed, greenish fluted metal construction. A
second, smaller structure was observed nearby. A ship and a
conveyor belt were observed in the area. The powdery substance
was processed into a greenish, appearing substance and
subsequently stored in cylindrical containers designed to cushion
the product from shock. The substance was normally transported
by truck and stored in "run-down buildings that resembled quonset
huts." Ultimately, the substance was fired in "a line c;)f tall
trees" in an area located in the vicinity of the storage site.
Viewer 018's summaries dated 28 September 1987, 5 October 1987,
and 7 October 1987 respectively, are at TAB H.
d. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 003 perceived the target structure as
being located in a wide, sloping, open area bordered by a metal
fence and wooded area with nearby canal or stream (TAB I). The
presence of flood gates was also noted. The main structure made
of concrete/cement, resembled a bunker. Doors to this building
were recessed in metal. There was an apparent array of pipes
protruding from a cement courtyard and used as conduits for an
existing ventilation or electrical systems. The presence of a

second building, two or three stories high, was also noted in the
target area. Access to this building'was gained through an
underground tunnel. The principal activity was technical in
nature and involved the combining of substances for the
production of a new end-product. Direct human contact with this
end product could be harmful. The English language was not
spoken at this establishment. An effective implementation of
stringent security procedures was in evidence. There was a
distinct presence of a technically oriented "cooling area" and a
"packaging area." The end-product was noxious, life threatening
and stored in metal containers. The target site was one of very
few such similar sites in existence. Viewer had a post-session
impression of a wheel-line rounded device (TAB J) utilized under
a thick and protective, transparent shielding. It consisted of
two glass tubes shaped like hourglasses, fixed at right angles
and joined in the center where internal and intense light pulses
were active. In a subsequent session, Viewer 003 determined and
described the presence of a large stainless steel and technical
apparatus located in a white/grey, rectangular structure.
Related drawings are at TAB K. Operational activity consisted of
condensing, containing, filtering. Viewer 003 added,
"Titration, catalysis, retorts and pressure may be involved."
Extremes of cool and hot temperatures were considered essential
to the process. The technology is considered a "breakthrough
procedure." Caustic, corrosive, noxious, hazardous subs+.ances,
along with the concept of fermentation are procedurally involved
and require special handling and safeguards. The end-product is
a highly dangerous substance; it is denser than a normal gaseous
substance, yet less dense than a solid or liquid, somewhat of a
"gelatinous" substance. Three substances are combined to produce
the final product. The first is cool and sharp, the second is
benign and flat, somewhat inert and neutral in temperature, while
the third substance is warm, brownish, soupy, and caustic. The
mixture of these three substances causes a curdling, a sense of
"sloughing off." The wearing of protective clothing is
associated with the processing and the use of the substance. The
final product is sprayed and provides a filmy coating that
adheres to hard surfaces so as to form a chemical barrier.
"Micron-sizing" appears to play an important part in the
procedure. A conceptual drawing of the apparatus utilized as a
spraying vehicle is at TAB L. Viewer 003'ssummaries dated 23
September 1987 , 1 October 1987, and 7 October 1987 are at TAB M.
