I found this channel through a friend, and I saw he shared it to some facebook groups too. There is only one video so far, and it somehow doesn't have a title (not sure how you can do that but oh well). I tried to write down the code that flashes last night but youtube is weird about its pause/play mechanics and I got flustered. Hopefully someone with more patience can do it. I'm interested to see where this goes.

 		I attempted to transcribe the sequence:

NjggNzQgNzAgM2EgMmYgMmYgNjkgNmQgNjcgNzUgNzIgMmUgNjgMNmYgNmQgMmYNTUgNgNDUgNWEgNzUgNTcgNjcgMmUgNmEgNzAgNjc=

I translated it from base64, yielding:

68 74 70 3a 2f 2f 69 6d 67 75 72 2e 68 6f 6d 2f
MH
€ÐÔ€Õ„€ÜÔ€ÔÜ€ØÜ€É"€Ù„€ÜÀ€

translating this from hex yields:

htp://imgur.hom/

The beginning of an imgur link!
So, it appears that my transcription is partially incorrect, as the translation is not complete...

 		My transcription was the same.
There definitely are errors in the video.

To at least get "htp://imgur.com/" in the beginning, you have to have...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
NjggNzQgNzAgM2EgMmYgMmYgNjkgNmQgNjcgNzUgNzIgMmUgNjMgNmYgNmQgMmYg
... so there's a first letter (the g) missing.


And if you split the rest into sensible parts, you get...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
NTUg NgXX NDUg NWEg NzUg NTcg Njcg MmUg NmEg NzAg Njc=
... where XX probably is missing and the right URL would lead to some "UXXuWg.jpg" or whatever.


Also: Direct links to image files would need to have an "i.imgur.com" URL, if I'm not mistaken. Does not look too promising. Wink

 		I wonder if the errors are intentional?
P.S. imgur links without the 'i.' still lead to the image, but with the imgur 'wrapper' around it. see

 		Anyone had any luck making out what the audio says? I thought I was starting to make sense of it, but the more I listening the more I think my ears are just making it up...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
0:01 Chimes of some sort
0:03 Could you take me home? [Unsure about this]
0:05 Erm
0:06 [garbled, can't make it out at all, could be a string of letters and numbers?]
0:12 [voice gets creepy, can't really make it out but sounds more like words]

 		I tampered with the audio a bit and heard something like this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

(I'm assuming they're policemen from the dialogue)

Officer 1: Check two, check three, this is Holden. Um, charles 41 charles 31(????) the South[townname] units are at (???)

Officer 2: Are you with the South[townname] officers, because they've been having radio problems I need to know if they're ok.


EDIT: Oh man, 5 more videos with the same kind of puzzle

 		After tampering with the data from the first 3 videos, I tried a few imgur.com file names and came across this one (uploaded 4 days ago - so it's a possibility):


http://imgur.com/UEZuYWg


It looks like a long-exposure photo of the northern stars.


EDIT on Jun 8, 2015, 12:30 pm PDT:
Not sure who's involved in this, but Lily004 has deleted all videos previously posted to youtube and posted a new video called "Polaris" on May 28, 2015.

I haven't looked at video thoroughly, but it does show a cut-off ponytail found on a pole somewhere.
