While it may sound more like an Army Corps of 
Engineers scheme, “Project Sanguine” is really a scheme 
of the U.S. Navy to crisscross northern Wisconsin with 
an underground low-frequency, long wave,electronics 
signal system, to transmit (but not receive) orders to 
American military commanders around the world. 
The first phase of this bizarre plan is already tearing 
into the northern Wisconsin landscape near Winter with 
an above-ground, cross-shaped antenna, with arms 14 
miles long. If this works, phase two will be a repeat of 
phase one -- but with the antenna buried underground. 
No one really knows what the biological effects will be 
of high (14,000 volts at intermittent 20-acre transmitter 
sites) voltage on soil biota and other life forms. 
While Captain James Galloway, Project Sanguine 
engineer, has said, at a July 17 public information 
meeting in Ashland, that a decision on an operational 
Sanguine system is four years away, the time to protest 
is now, before the Project gains such momentum that it 
is even more difficult to halt. 
Capt. Galloway was somewhat evasive when a local 
resident asked if a nuclear power plant would be 
necessary on the Lake Superior shore to power the vast 
network of electrical paraphernalia in the northern third 
of Wisconsin. 
Why was Wisconsin chosen? Because of the low 
conductivity of the pre-Cambrian shield rock in the area, 
which would supposedly increase the apparent size of 
the antenna, to a size sufficient to transmit the signal. 
Biologist Charles H. Stoddard, of Minong, Wisconsin, 
questioned this logic, pointing out that metallic ores in

WHAT'S SANGUINE ABOUT “PROJECT SANGUINE?” 
the region have a high conductivity. 
“Interference mitigation” (not elimination) was a 
term used repeatedly by Capt. Galloway and the 
program’s chief propagandist, (information aide) John 
Hennessey. The term admits to potential environmental 
interference. 
One cannot help but wonder to whose standards the 
interference will be mitigated -- Captain Galloway's? 
Phase 1 operations interfered with area phones and 
television, and there is great danger of inducing electrical 
current in wire fuses and other metal devices above 
ground, constituting a direct threat to man and beast 
alike. 
Having such a set-up in Chequamegon National Forest 
certainly stretches the multiple-use guideline for the 
Forest Service established by Gifford Pinchot. 
Webster’s defines SANGUINE as consisting of or 
relating to blood -- or as a last choice, confident or 
Optimistic. We ask, what is Sanguine about Project 
Sanguine?

RARE GULL SIGHTED IN SPRINGFIELD — Members of the S 
share of excitement this year when a Kittiwake, a bird of t 
Christmas census. It is believed that this is the first sighting 
pringfield Audubon Society had more than their usual 
he open ocean, was seen near the Lake Bridge during the 
of this bird in Illinois, except for a few rare sightings on 
The Kittiwake was observed at close range by: William O’Brien, Tom Crabtree, Emma Mae Leonhard, and Dr. and 
Mrs. Richard Allyn. A total of 58 species were counted during the day, including the Wilson’s snipe, redpoll, red 
crossbill, Lapland longspur, European tree sparrow, and pileated woodpecker
