Re- ceived T23+4715.91.31 imp hrs. ''Probe PR310G landed on surface of 12.2 at T23+4714.28.00. Ground appears to be covered with carcasses of unknown life- forms. Surface images show these are strange creatures, no larger than Earthly grasshoppers, with fine bat-like wings and bodies covered in scales like a lizard. The scales were charred and blackened. ''Sensors detected a single specimen in flight approximately 300 yards from PR310G. Upon scanning with miniature MINAR, the specimen immediately dropped to the ground. PR310G drove to the spot and found the specimen dead, with charred and blackened scales. No further detections of lifeforms. ''Carla Giannino has issued emergency shutdown of PR310G. All scheduled MINAR scans of 12.2 are canceled.'' . --------------------------------------------------------------- END TEXT GWRP ARCHIVE C/N: GWRP-23A-000000000228812 RECEPTION T/S: T23+4715.93.12 IMP HRS ACKNOWLEDGMENT: 1 RELEASED TO AIC SPACE MISSION REVIEW BOARD SIGNATORY: [ ----------------------- ] RELEASED TO USDS OFFICE OF SENSITIVE RECORDS RECEIVING OFFICER: [ ------------------- ] ~~SECRET~~ DISCLOSED =================================================================== The collection containing this item is associated with an NDAA catalog.

Excerpted from: NAA-0074-RKA001-00000 =============================================================== PROGRAM SUMMARY The Galactic World Reconnaissance Program (GWRP) is a United States space exploration and research program. The mission of GWRP is to gather scientific and strategic in- telligence about planets in the Milky Way, evaluate their strategic importance in the United States' interests in the exploration of space, and further humanity's understanding of celestial objects in the Milky Way. GWRP is jointly ad- ministered by the United States Defense Services (USDS), the American Intelligence Commission (AIC), and the Federal Bureau of Space Exploration and Colonization (FBSEC). MISSION OVERVIEW Site 23 is the 23rd mission of the GWRP, the 8th outpost mission, and the 5th manned outpost mission. The command crew consists of mission commander William Douglas, mission lieutenants Roger Edwards and Charles McNamara, chief pilot George Herschel, communications specialist Antonio Vasquez, and lead researchers Wilbert Price and Merideth Wagner. The target region of the mission is galactic star region GSR-10-29871, located approximately halfway along the Cen- taurus Arm of the Milky Way 55,300 light-years from Earth. Site 23 was launched at T0+180928.63.88 imperial hours (T23+0.00.00 imp hrs) from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base on Earth, with the transit designation RM-23. The mission retained its transit designation until it arrived at its assigned destination in galactic space region GSR-10-29871 at T23+4612.64.42 imp hrs. FBSEC retains primary jurisdiction over Site 23 and its mission goals. AIC and USDS retain jurisdiction over secon- dary and tertiary mission goals, respectively, for Site 23. GOALS FBSEC mission goals for Site 23 are to: * Gather primary astronomical information about region GSR-10-29871; * Perform scientific measurements and observations in region GSR-10-29871 and gather planet science data in accordance with existing GWRP mission goals; * Determine if evidence of biological life is present in GSR-10-29871 and if the region is capable of supporting life; and * Conduct further research and experiments as determined by FBSEC, based on evolving conditions in GSR-10-29871. AIC mission goals for Site 23 are to: * [ --------------------------------------------------- ] [ --------------------------------------------------- ] [ --------------------- ]; * [ --------------------------------------------------- ] [ --------------------------------------------------- ] [ --------------------------------------------------- ] [ ----------------------------------------- ]; and * Conduct further research and experiments as determined by AIC, based on evolving conditions in GSR-10-29871 and in deference to directives by FBSEC. USDS mission goals for Site 23 are to: * Assess the viability of prototype equipment and tools for planetary engineering; * Determine the suitability for planetary engineering equipment to modify the habitability of planets in GSC- 10-29871 to support Earth life; and * Conduct further research and experiments as determined by USDS, based on evolving conditions in GSR-10-29871 and in deference to directives by FBSEC and AIC. =============================================================== Printed by: National Data Archival Administration Walker Branch 100 James A.
