Viewer 095 and the Metallic Target Hidden via Skeet Channels

By June Hargrove ·

A secret structure’s location remains encrypted in a record that describes "highly processed metals" and a design "engineered as opposed to built," kept secret for over 30 years.

Viewer 095 spent his professional life as a human sensor for a government that treated his mind as a piece of disposable hardware. The cost was a career spent in a psychic silo, reporting on targets he would never see and using methods designed to bypass the very intelligence analysts tasked with verifying the truth.

On December 20, 1989, Viewer 095, a source and asset tasked with describing target structures under the Sun Streak program, sat for Session 001. This was not a casual exercise in mysticism. He was working under the auspices of Project Sun Streak, a secret United States Army unit established in 1977 to investigate the potential for psychic phenomena in military and domestic intelligence applications. The session lasted twenty-eight minutes, from 1037 to 1105, and it was governed by a rigid technical protocol known as Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV).

This methodology was provided by 003 Monitor, the individual who developed the CRV system to transform subjective psychic impressions into standardized intelligence data. The record, which was eventually approved for release by the CIA, the civilian foreign intelligence service tasked with conducting covert operations and collecting intelligence globally, shows a man being asked to "describe physical characteristics, interior, and purpose of a target structure" located at encrypted coordinates 893292/733E330.

"Engineered as opposed to built"

The description provided by Viewer 095 does not read like a report on a building. It reads like a description of a machine. The record states the site consists of a structure in an "open, flat area" and that this structure is composed "primarily of highly processed metals." Most telling is the viewer's insistence that the structure "was engineered as opposed to built."

In the language of the record, the distinction is absolute. Buildings are built; hardware is engineered. Viewer 095 describes a geometry that defies standard architecture: one portion is spherical, and another possesses a "major vertical angle of less than 90 degrees." Inside, the viewer reports a "low ceiling and a busy design," characterized by "numerous exposed cables and pipes" and "hydraulic components." He notes a "flat, smooth white surface that is tilted at a 50-60 degree an[gle]."

The exterior is described as "metallic, glossy and smooth," with a roof featuring "all kinds of stuff sticking out notop, reminiscent of an radomes, wires, etc..." The target at coordinates 893292/733E330 is not on the public record, and the dossier provides no further information on its nature beyond its designation as an intelligence target.

The 003 Methodology

The precision of these descriptions was a direct result of the link between Viewer 095 and 003 Monitor. By using CRV, the Army attempted to strip away the "fantasy" of psychic research and replace it with a repeatable, clinical process. This was the core mission of Project Sun Streak: to turn the human mind into a reliable intelligence-gathering tool that could penetrate denied areas where satellites and spies could not reach.

The public record establishes that Sun Streak was part of a wider, shifting constellation of psychic projects—including Gondola Wish and Grill Flame—that moved between the Army, the DIA, and the CIA. This movement suggests a restlessness in the intelligence community, a cycle of funding and abandonment as the government struggled to determine if psychic viewing was a legitimate breakthrough or a costly delusion. Yet, for the assets like Viewer 095, the process was a job. He was tasked with a specific mission: "satisfy mission requirements for Project 8937."

The Skeet Silo

While the descriptive data is detailed, the handling of that data is where the record becomes suspicious. In the "Evaluation" section of the document, the record contains a blunt, repeated command: "HANDLE VIA SKEET CHANNELS ONLY."

This instruction appears twice, once in the evaluation section and once at the end of the information summary. The record does not define what a "Skeet channel" is, but the context reveals its function. Standard intelligence reports are disseminated through established channels to analysts who can cross-reference the data with signal intelligence or satellite imagery. The directive to use "Skeet channels" creates a closed loop, isolating the psychic data from the traditional intelligence pipeline.

The desk's reading is that the "Skeet channels" refer to a specific, non-standard dissemination pipeline designed to isolate "psychic" intelligence from traditional analysts to avoid institutional ridicule. By siloing the reports, the handlers of Project Sun Streak could maintain the program's funding and prestige without having to defend the methodology to skeptics in the broader CIA or Army analyst pools. It was a firewall built to protect the project from the very people whose job it was to verify the facts.

Coordinate 893292/733E330

There is a glaring gap in this file. Despite the detailed summary of the structure’s hydraulics and radomes, the "Evaluation" section is virtually empty. There is no confirmation of whether Viewer 095 was correct. There is no mention of a follow-up mission or a satellite confirmation. The document provides the collection of data but completely suppresses the analysis.

If this file is shaped the way it looks, the session was not a genuine intelligence-gathering mission but a "blind test" for the viewer's accuracy. The discrepancy between the high level of descriptive detail and the fragmented, essentially empty evaluation suggests that the handlers were more interested in whether Viewer 095 could "see" the object than whether the object itself was an active threat. Alternatively, the pattern suggests the target was not a conventional building or a known military installation, but a piece of recovered or anomalous technology. The viewer’s focus on "highly processed metals" and the specific distinction that it was "engineered" points toward an object of non-standard origin.

Finally, we must look at what the CIA chose to keep. The record was approved for release in 2000, yet the coordinates 893292/733E330 remain encrypted or withheld from the public. The government was comfortable releasing the viewer's descriptions of radomes and glossy metal, but it refused to name the place. This implies that the target at those coordinates remains an active or sensitive site. The declassification is a performance of transparency that selectively releases the methodology while protecting the location.

The desk's reading is that this document represents only the "Collection" phase of the intelligence cycle. The missing "Analysis" phase contains the actual verification—the satellite photos or ground reports that proved Viewer 095 was looking at something real. A full release would show that the government spent decades monitoring a specific, engineered object that it could not explain and did not want the public to find. The still-withheld pages are protecting a physical asset that the Army and CIA believe is still relevant today. Viewer 095 was the expendable eye, and the "Skeet channels" were the blindfold placed over the rest of the government to ensure that the secret remained in the hands of a few.
