"The CIA came to us one day and said 'we would like information about whats going to happen at some coordinates... next Thursday. This was on a Monday...they wanted us to look 3 days into the future and describe what's happening... Swann said... this looks like a big pyrotechnics display... like the fourth of July, big hemispherical display of fireworks with beautiful color traces up in the air and a bunch of trucks in the far distance... The CIA could see from what he had drawn and from what they had... into the future...The CIA knew the Chinese were planning an atomic bomb test and from what Swann had drawn, that they would carry out the test and that it would fail."
