[TRAILHEAD?] @collectobserve

I'm pretty much a lurker here (more active at the thac.tv forum, under the name ZimZimZeroin), but I would like to firmly assert that I am NOT running this Twitter account. Someone on the thac.tv forum (possibly the actual creator?) posted about it, but it's probably unrelated to Clear Lakes 44, so I decided to bring it over here for examination.

@collectobserve

Seems to mostly be random security camera footage, accompanied by text composed almost entirely of non sequitors, mental illnesses, NATO phonetic alphabetization, and sets of numbers. It seems ideal for a codebreaker, if there's actually something of substance to it.

Any thoughts? Right now it's a lot to take in, and I'm not the solving type when it comes to these kinds of things. Just figured I should put this thing in front of the right people. XD

That is certainly an enimatic twitter account. I agree that it feels as though the author is inviting or challenging the viewer to discern meaning from it.

Speaking for myself, however, there is simply not enough context to justify putting my personal time and effort into decoding this. When I apply myself to a puzzle I like to have assurance that I'll get some satisfaction in solving it.
Where is the implied promise of more story being unveiled if this is solved?
Can I safely assume that there is enough information here to solve the puzzle?

I won't be trying to solve this at the present time. If more details emerge about the story that is being told here, I may decide to give it another look.
