I like reading the handwritten notes:
This one is a gem: https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00789R003500150002-6.pdf https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00789...
They were trying to describe nuclear testing sites or activity? And at some point they ended up drawing a cute teapot with musical notes coming out of its spout.
This one has a drawing of a military building, with a little truck and man next to it:

A rather details rocket engine or a satellite payload:

- dmix 8y agoThis would make a good Tumblr or blog picture series. Doodles/drawings from CIA Agent Classified Notes.
- rdtsc 8y agoDefinitely or an art gallery as a sibling comment suggested
- kingbirdy 8y agoThe last drawing on that second link is actually quite a good sketch, IMO.
- rdtsc 8y agoThese sketches in a way reveal a quite a bit about the "medium" (or however they call the person doing the remote sensing). Psychologists often do this with children "draw whatever you like" and then they can tell a quite a bit by what they draw and how and maybe see some patterns or issues which could not be verbalized easily.
- cupofjoakim 8y agoSome of them feel like perfect for a weird little art exhibition. I personally really enjoyed this one, which just seem to describe something that has been observed in orbit: https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00789R003800150004-1.pdf https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00789...
- rdtsc 8y agoI can very much see an exhibition filled with just these.
