Source observed an airborne, luminous, bright green, unidentified object in late summer 1973.

The source described inspecting System-300 or Aldan missile warheads at Site 4, identified in reference material as ABM-1/GALOSH.

The CIA report separately relayed hearsay that laser-weapon experiments were being conducted at an unknown location on the range.
