[indent][indent]An anomalous sphere with an approximate stable diameter of 10m-12m. Fluctuations in surface area have been observed with the largest increase being <4m. The object, for all purposes appears to be devoid of any light, mass, or observable surface qualities. The sphere was first discovered in August, 1944, hovering some 500m above the North Atlantic Sea.[/indent][/indent]

[h3][b]Initial Contact[/b][/h3][hr]
[indent][indent]On August 23,1944 the Destroyer USS Constitution assigned to convoy escort H-1-32 made contact with a German U-Boat (U-5881). At approximately 04:30:14 the U-Boat disengaged and fled North-North-East into the Norwegian Sea. The USS Constitution pursued the vessel and managed to damage the U-Boat to an unknown extent. At about 11:00:01 the U-Boat abruptly stopped and the Captains Log confirms the vessel began to sink. No lifeboats were deployed. At 11:00:42 the USS Constitution halted search operations for survivors of U-5881. At 12:00:00 the anomalous object appeared on the starboard side of the vessel without any precipitating events.

[h3][b]Object Relocation & Research[/b][/h3][hr]
On August 29th, 1944 #0011-AO began to move West at approximately 18 knots. The object increased speed at a rate of [Classified]. The USS Constitution was ordered to pursue the object, but soon lost contact with #0011-AO. On September 1st, the object was reported to have appeared in the American Mid-West at coordinates [Classified]. The object has remained at this location since September 1st, and was the reason for the construction of site-11. 

Initial Research conducted with #0011-AO was exploratory in nature. Data collected during tests #1-85 have been compiled in Supplementary Document 211*. These tests determined some very basic data about #0011, size and fluctuation and certain quantitative properties. 

Tests #81-90 were conducted by Dr. Peter Knowles between January-March, 1945. These tests were designed to record information related to direct contact and interaction with the object.

[b]Theories on the Nature of #0011-AO[/b]
1) #0011-AO is a weapon developed by the Special Weapons and Tactics Division of the Kriegsmarine. It is possible that the Germans developed anti-matter weaponry similar to [b][Classified][/b], for use in the North Atlantic Theater of Operations during World War 2. 
2) #0011-AO is a portal to an alternate dimension. 
3) #0011-AO is a naturally occurring phenomena across space-time.
