 		So glad to see more people getting involved! I just sent a text to HQ (that's what I will refer to the # as from now on) and told them we are having trouble locating a California Agent that can do the pick up on March 5th. Hopefully we are able to find someone.

 		I texted mentioning that I am interested in terraforming and heard they were looking for associates, and I got the standard "in lockdown" response but they can't get the required paperwork, but they'll contact me when the lockdown is released.

Of course, since I'm in the Houston area I might not be able to do that much given the areas that have been mentioned already, but you never know, right?

I sent a message saying we are having trouble finding an Agent that can pick up the drop on March 5th at 12:30 and I got a message back saying

''Understood. Will hold on drop until agent has been confirmed. Please inform when you have confirmed an Agent' Thank You."

and then not long after that another message saying

''Morning Update Posted''

Needless to say we have a new video on coughlanlabs.com, please let me know when you can get to the specified location so I can inform HQ.

New Video - https://youtu.be/BSDMAs-c1Qw

EDIT- Was messaged that this video is being re-uploaded and in HQ's words ''The Video is just a smoke-screen re-uploading now''

EDIT 2- Here is the official video URL, running it thru spectroanalysis now. https://youtu.be/iqpQ2iOgzOM

New Text Message Concerning Drop

"Notice--External Command has informed me to proceed with drop on designated date. Will proceed, drop will be hidden in a bush near playground. Will upload photo of location after drop is completed.''

I guess we have a California Agent willing to pick up now?

Edit- Just got another text saying "Please find someone to pick this drop up. Replacements slow us down."

So it looks like we DO NOT have a California Agent to pick it up yet...so yeah we need someone.

Edit- We now have an Operative Site to keep track of drops. - http://coughlanlabs.com/opratives/ops.html admin/admin

The video in the morning update appears to come from this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ujx_pND9wg

"The U.S. Army's Top Secret Arctic City Under the Ice! "Camp Century" Restored Classified Film - In the late 1950s, during the height of the Cold War, the US military constructed a secret base in the Arctic for "research" purposes. Some theorists claim that it was actually used as a covert nuclear weapons storage &/or testing facility as part of Top Secret "Project Iceworm" with the ultimate objective of covertly placing medium-range missiles under the ice sheet -- close enough to strike the Soviet Union, while remaining hidden from the Danish government. Others have made even grander claims - that Camp Century was actually a weather manipulation experiment ... or a U.S. Military administered Alien / UFO base! The whole truth may never be known. This video is the actual declassified US ARMY FILM documenting the construction process. What really happened there afterwards remains a mystery."

 		You know... retroish technology, SSTV, drops, "command books," focus on the arctic... this sounds a lot like OTP22.

Yeah... Which is why it's weird they were all "we're not those other guys, don't get us confused with them"

Because... We weren't. But....huh.

 		gg no re

Also, I'm almost certain that youtube won't flag that.
My question is, do y'all want me to continue? I wouldn't mind, but I don't know if you knowing it's me ruins it for you.

If you do, this will be my last post, and I won't say anything from here on out.

Let me know before I scrub this.

Nah man I am enjoying it in all honesty, think you've done a pretty good job so far. Wish I was in CA to help out.
