[NEW] MILWAUKEE EVIDENCE

EVIDENCE LOCATED!

bwochinski and found the evidence that Seth hid in Milwaukee. We followed the poem clues and found a Ziploc plastic container buried undersome leaves almost immediately. bwoch took video and I took a lot of pictures which I will post on my Flickr site soon. But first, here's a list of everything:

CONTENTS
* Red and Green Ribbon tied into a bow
* A small rubber monster - seems to be a finger puppet
* A NASA Customer Tag that reads NORTH AMERICAN AVIATION, INC. J 115 398 (inside a plastic sandwich bag)
* 3 Photos: One showing part of the Milwaukee Skyline and Two showing the Milwaukee Art Museum (The Calatrava)
* A note paper-clipped to the photos
* A CD-R

NOTE:
Front side reads:
Quote:
SETH: PLEASE DELIVER THESE PHOTOS TO CORDELIA OR STEVIE. THANK YOU.


Back side reads:

*The two U's that are underined could possibly be V's, but they look more like U's to me.

CD

The contents of the CD are zipped and attached. Let me know if there are problems with it.

I will post pictures on my flickr site and add a link when that is done.

Big thanks to bwoch for the video recording and for accompanying me, to Kali who wanted to come but her gmail farted and she didn't get the message in time, and to delusional who could have gotten it yesterday afternoon but let me and bwoch get it today!!! THANKS!

EDIT: Photos are up. All photos are in my Orbicon set and are tagged "milwaukeeevidence" View the slideshow.

EDIT2: The pics entitled "Photo 1" "Photo 2" and "Photo 3" are the photos I found in the Evidence Box. The backs of each photo has a code from Walgreens (where the photos were processed) and each code has certain numbers underlined in pen.

I've forwarded everything to Seth, including select pcitures downlaoded off the flickr. DOnt know if you did that yet, Caspian, but I di djust in case.

On the audio file on the CD? The probe signal? There's a weird scratching deeper noise beneath the high beeping. It feels liek it could be something. I'm downloading Audacity now.

Hmm... interesting... Let's see what's immediately obvious from the scans:

scan001: There's a problem with the seals on the doors. Peter Veldinski, an Orbicorp scientist working on the doors, begins asking about the project. Page is torn down the middle.

scan002: Orbicon is doing experiments that an environmentalist group finds objectionable. (Big suprise) What is GE?

scan003: Hangars 14, 16, and the main gate have sensitive contents, requiring special security. What?

scan004: Veldinski, who is apparently one of Igor Bronco's friends, died at the New Year's party. He may have been drinking because he was depressed. This paper is tear-stained, probably from Bronco.

scan005: For 11 months, three people were depositing $300 thousand each on the 12th of each month. In December the entire sum was withdrawn, almost $10 million.

scan_602: Bronco's father left him only a pair of cigar clippers when he died. The rest of his money was left to Path Back to Eden. It was signed by Dr Stanley Bradshaw and Mary Malden, and entrusted to Arthur T. Jackson and Gerald P. Flaherty.

I'm sorry if this is unneccessary, but I'm just trying to get everything out in the open. I may look at the pdf and sound file later.

I assume 'GE' stands for 'genetic engineering'. This would make sense, seeing as genetic engineering is a pretty controversial subject. Although it is a little strange -- usually the abbreviation used is 'GM', or 'genetic modification', like that corn people keep saying will kill you if you make tortillas out of it.

Here are the numbersd that were on the back of the three photos that were in the Milwaukee Evidence Box. The numbers are on the photos from the film processing place (Walgreens) and certain ones are underlined in pen.

Back of Photo 1 wrote:
1 0 1 3 3 1 7 9 7 <space> 8 0 4 2 8 5 5 1 __ 1 0 0 0 __ 0 0 0 2

Walgreens <2>*


Photo 2 wrote:
1 0 1 3 3 1 7 9 7 <space> 8 0 4 2 8 5 5 6 _ 1 0 0 0 _ 0 0 0 8

Walgeens <8>*


Back of Photo 3 wrote:
1 0 1 3 3 1 7 9 7 <space> 8 0 4 2 8 5 6 1 __ 1000 __ 0 0 1 0

Walgreens <10>*


*Each number in angle brackets is circled in pen. The numbers ARE underlined in pen. The underscores between numbers ARE NOT underlined in pen. If you want to look at the markings yourself, check out my flickr site - these photos are tagged stevensphotos.

To summarize:
Quote:
Photo 1:
Underlined: 3 1 7 0 2 5 1 0 2
Circled: <2>

Photo2:
Underlined: 0 3 9 8 2 5 1 0 8
Circled: <8>

Photo 3:
Underlined: 1 3 3 7 8 2 5 1 1
Circled: <10>

I think what's even more interesting here is that he tacked it together afterwards. Or maybe Steven did that or whoever retrieved the letters.

I wonder if they ever bothered to check the bottle for DNA, because if someone placed the stuff there to make it look like an accident Veldinski might not have even touched the bottle...
Of course, this is wild spec and I'm probably watching too much CSI. Laughing

If you google "GE experiments" you find pages about 'genetic engineering'. About half of them are related to New Zealand (maybe they use the letters 'GE' instead of 'GM' in NZ). That makes sense with the several references to New Zealand in scan002:
- Orbicon R&D facility, NZ
- GMT Wellington
- environmentalist group EnviroNZ

EDIT : EnviroNZ is also the name of the NZ ministry of environment newsletter

That's all exactly right - the slogan in particular is "GE Free". Someone's done their research very carefully.
If it comes to light exactly where this facility in Wellington is meant to be, I can try and do some snooping via proxy (ie, via friends in Wellington). so far as I know there aren't any active ARGers in NZ that live in welly...
