MEMORANDUM FOR DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL
RESEARCH
SUBJECT: SUN STREAK Operational Report - 8819 (U)
1. (S/NF/SK) Remote viewers conducted 17 sessions in an effort
to access and describe the key functions and supporting
activities of a target complex reflected in a copy of overhead
photography. See TAB A.
2. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 003 perceived the target complex as a vast
industrial, technical complex. Perceptions of lamination, and
bonding agents were present; the end product was flat and
conductive. The presence of a corrosive, translucent, green
reagent appeared involved. A process of distillation producing
solids, as in the chemical process of doping and coating appeared
involved. Area "A" (TAB A) is a large structure associated with
the presence of large, bulky, metallic, cylindrical objects that
are projected to be moved from a horizontal position to a
vertical position. Area "B", (TAB A) is utilized as conference
area with congenial lighting and furniture. Area "D" (TAB A) is
associated with a "liquefied noble or inert gas." There is a
presence of rounded, uniformly-shaped structures that are
curving, smooth and cold to the touch. Area "E" (TAB A) is a
large, long, multi-storied structure housing an electro-
mechanical shop with wire, coils, magnetic thermo-couples,
revolving armatures etc.
3. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 018 perceived the complex as a research,
manufacturing, and storage site producing a key product of a
scientific nature described as a rectangular grey package
associated with the notion of "explosive." Area "A" (TAB A)
serves mainly as a storage and supply area containing large bulky
items such as pipes. Area "B" (TAB A) is perceived as an
enclosed, working area utilized for the procurement, storage of

supplies destined for use by "tactical field units." Metal cases
encased in tar are present in the area. One piece of equipment
was described as an electronic RF receiver, rack-mounted, multi-
plugged with indicator lights and a meter (NFI). Area "C" (TAB
A) is a heating, repair and maintenance area. Area "D" (TAB A)
appeared to be an administrative building. The name "Sergey
Dolonov" phonetically surfaced as being associated with this
area. Area "E" (TAB A) is a research and testing area. Pallets
of powdery material were observed in the area; the powdery
material was associated with an "O.D. colored missile (not
further described."
4. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 095 described the target facility as a
manufacturing and assembly area of military-related items such
as components to weapons systems and involving precision
machining. A key item produced here was described as 15 to 18
feet long, heavy, torpedo-shaped object that is brassy in color.
Area "A" (TAB A) is a long building with desks and personnel in
pursuit of scientific achievements. A 30' by 40' by 12' high
room is in Area "A" (TAB A) and serves as a machine shop with
several work stations. Area "B" (TAB A) is nearly cluttered with
"pipe-like" horizontally interconnecting pipes forming triangular
shapes. Area "C" (TAB A) is a blue-collar work place with an
assembly line area where the wearing of hard hats is mandatory.
Area "D" (TAB A) is a loading area where a predominance of long,
cylindrical objects were perceived as being placed onto flatbed
trucks.
5. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 079 perceived the target site as a research
and development (R&D) site employing a work force of about three
thousand personnel . The key function is perceived as involving
R&D efforts related too communication satellite capabilities and
their application to strategic ballistic capabilities. Area "E"
(TAB A) is the site of ongoing studies related to "power source,
range, and telemetry" of ballistic missiles. Area "C" (TAB A) is
dedicated to the study of missile propellants. Area "A" (TAB A)
is associated with the study of fiber optics for use as
insulating and shielding material against radio activity. Area
"B" (TAB A) is perceived as a launch and test range. Area "D"
(TAB A) appears to be some sort of administrative, logistical
support area.
6. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 025 concentrated on a round, dome, globe-
shaped object (TAB B) as a key item related to energy resources.
The concepts of space and gases are of concern and interest.The
function of the (key) activity is to "explore unknown areas of
science" utilizing the concept of the energy source; it appears
related to some "air force", "a commission". and "setting
something up so it will go off."
7. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 032 perceived the area as comprised of a
series of multiple, military-related structures dispersed over a
wide area. The issue of key interest is focused on a "round
object that houses and instruments and provid@s @& Ply Wal'"if1g

box with a lithium battery and wires that transmit data at a
considerable distance, appear associated with the concept of the
"round object" and issue of key function.
