where poselble Ah1A1-oseoclaced elccironlc~Jocllldce have
been observed makes it poselble to cetablleh the construc?
flan sequence and the elmilarldee between the bulldings a[

Because of, the varying stages of construction at the

Opcratioml Area B le located 7,SOOtectwest-southwest
ot,Operetloml Area A, OntheKH-7coverage of March 1965,
a number of slgnltlcant details were tared for the Bret tlme.
Situated wlth(p the double?tenced area are a large probable
rnntrol building and 2 suspect antennae, ona of which le in a
very early ewge of cdnetruc[lon (Figure 28). '
The probable control bullding le rectangular,'660 feet
long by 200 feet wide, with the-root stepped at the east end
(Item l). [loth portions of the roof are Oer the longer eec-
tlon la 50 test high bate 40?tool eectlon at the coat and Is SS

pears extermlly complete, No windows or entrances were
observed; however, a large eectlon dt the mrth wall of the
bullding le obectued by the suspect antenm, '
Five etructuree of varying sizes ranging from SS by 5
tact to 25 by 25 teat ere poaltloncd on the root of the build- "

Q 20 feet wide ~ It Is dl-
vldcd Inro 2 equal aectlo~ and separated by

undetermined height above the ad)olnlag root sectlone. La-
Gated on the weer end of the suspect antenm le a low-pro-
tllc 20? by 20-toot annex whose function le undetermined.
The pitched root at the suspect antenna le slanted down
[award the probable control bullding at en angle cetlmatcd
to north taco or wall of the suspect antenm le hidden
In deep shadow, sad the lack of etereoscople coverage on
prohibits determlm[ion of the exact con-
flguratlon of the face or wall. On [his photography, how-
ever, the root at the bullding appears to project beyond
what may btt a slanted face or well. Any angle In 6xccse
of 10 degrees from rho .vettlcal would have no masking
problem from the trees (average height 40 feet) which arc
210 feet twrth of the suepett antenna, The 2 suspect an-
tennae and [he probable control bullding are located on the
htgheet knoll In the area.
Review of earlier coverages revealed that the roof of
the northern suspect antenm was constructed from west
to east and that o gap In the roof line corresponding to the
center comportment was m[ed on the July [965 photog-
raphy. At that time, the,oppearance of the suspect antenm
lndlcated that the root might ba centered over a row of
possibly vertical members (the members appear dark-
toned on the photography). The center compartment, [here-
tore, was completed between July and October 1964.
The sou[hern suspect antenna (Item 3) was In a very
early stage of comtructlan in March 1965 and comleted
of a row of vettlcal members spaced approxima[cly 20
feet apart end extending DAnundc-
tcrmined type of material had been draped on the vettlcal
tfiembere, creating a screen. Thcee members areprobably
an Integral part of the suspect antoma and rho draping of
matorlal over them moy be onlya temporary cnvlronmen-
tal covering. Overall length of the row of vertical mcm-
bere and the similar alignment In rclatlon both t0 the
