DECEMBER 11 1986


The only thing that I can see that is even remotely relevent is that the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty (Treaty of Rarotonga) was signed on December 11 1986. This guy seems a bit obsessed with nuclear stuff which is why I thought this might be relevant

[edit] The other thing I came up with was a church Bombing in Long Beach California found here http://www.book-of-thoth.com/archives-article-276.html the videos are marked as music and paranormal...

12 11 1986. Interesting. I can't think of anything significant, but interesting! (I should win the award for the most useless posts ever.) Let's see...One is the loneliest number? Oh wait, that's a song.

Ummmm....UMMMMMMM. Maybe if we string all the messages together we'll get a full message? Possibly? I'll start working on "morse code"... Rolling Eyes

Church leaders have condemned a radio campaign about Aids for "condoning promiscuity".


That's the only thing I can find.

I found that during the weekend of the 12th through the 14th of December, 1986; the number 1 box office movie was "The Golden Child".

The 11th was a Thursday.

Related to Chernobyl
Quote:
By December 1986 a large concrete sarcophagus had been erected, to seal off the reactor and its contents.

but no specific date.

The 11th also looks to have been the last day of the Iran-Contra probe.

And in my neck of the woods:

Mt. Pleasant, Iowa - December 11, 1986. The mayor of Mt. Pleasant was murdered, and 2
City Council members were injured, by a man who was upset over his sewer problems. The
assault took place at a public meeting.

From first post:

Quote:
May 02 1st video notably with sirens in the background and, I'm assuming, footage from the Chernobyl reactor accident


There is another S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game coming out in the near future. In case you don't know, the main target in the original game was in fact the sarcophagus at the reactor core.

*EDIT*
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky

Am I reaching here?

*EDIT #2*
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky link from developer, Deep Silver

Quote:
Release Date: 29. August 2008

The story of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky brings the players one year prior to the events of the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game in 2011.

A group of stalkers has for the first time reached the very heart of the Zone – Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and brings about a cataclysm on the brink of a catastrophe. An immense blow-out of anomalous energy changes the Zone. There are no more reliable and relatively safe roads. The entire levels vanish in the outbursts of anomalies. Stalkers and even expeditions die or end up sealed on the lost territories. New areas, which remained unknown since the time of the Zone emergence, appear on the Zone map. The Zone continues to shake with blowouts. The Zone is unstable. The anomalous activity is at its maximum.

Changes of the Zone map known to stalkers shake the fragile balance of forces in the Zone. Among the groupings, there flare up hostilities for the new territories, artifact fields and spheres of influence. There are no more old enemies or friends – now everyone is for himself. The Factions War has started between the groupings.


OK, maybe I'm *really* reaching here...

I am in the process of attempting to break every video down frame by frame, but it's going to be very slow going, as I had surgery last week and don't really have the stamina for video editing as of yet. :p

But I find this all very interesting and sorta familiar.

It reminds me of TiNP

That looks great, count me in!

Edit: The latest video has the "paranormal" tag.

Okay just some things I've gotten from the latest video here...

At the 0.05 mark in the bottom left hand corner you have very bluntly.

"They are coming"

At 0.14 - The message "I am trapped." appears in the same spot, although it is written upside down.

Then later on throughout there's numerous sounds which honestly sound like the equivilent of dots and dashes AKA Morse code; but they're going to fast for me to make out. I've tried to decipher what I can but nothing's coming of it, so perhaps it's not M.C after all?

Edit: But this is roughly what I make of those noises; before the music starts up between the 1.50 marker and end of the video.

I'm looking at a morse code alphabet right now and that string doesn't make any sense. just the fisrt few symbols could translate to WAA or PRC or a few others. Is there any way to distinquish where one letter starts and another ends?
