Found some SRPA documents not on the Wiki. They are under the Thompsong:Dauphin password files.
The series is
RQ5597148
RQ5597149
RQ5597150
RQ5597151
RQ5597152
The gist of it is archeologist Reinhardt Quimbie went to the Llewellyn caves in Canada, discovered some Chimera type fossils encased in a space-pod of some sort, and in the middle of announcing his discovery was kidnapped by the government and probably murdered. He'd written a letter to a colleague detailing the Chimeran fossils, and a later SRPA letter said the space-craft looked to be 10 million years old. So the government knew they were aliens who had been here before.
Apologies if this is already known but I am not sure how to update the wiki in that particular area and I do not think you can download the documents.

I can't vouch for the "newness" of the documents (I haven't seen them before but that doesn't necessarily mean that others haven't), but as for "downloading", you can always extract any image from a swf using something like SWF Decompiler.
BTW, how is it that you found these documents?

I doubt they are new, but they might have been missed. I found the docs because we were arguing at GameFaqs about what aspects of the Chimera are the product of fusion with human DNA and some guy brought up these plot points and gave a reference. A poster who had done a lot of theorizing called BS on his theory and said the link he provided was useless.
So I took the chance to investigate and was able to prove someone wrong on the internet.

thanks MNPundit.
Can you identify how/when the codes were found? I'll add them to the wiki w/that info.
(still so much to update from the last couple of weeks there *sigh*)

No. Kind of. They were brought to my attention via a post of member Hora-Quan (on another board) who tells me they were posted in some of the older update topics. I haven't been able to find them but maybe you will have some better luck. I think they might be from the packet drop-offs.

The PA511843## were found at the PAX event, and the RQ55971## were found during the time skip day.

Well I have no interest in going to PAX and I have no idea what you are talking about in terms of time skip so....
....thanks a lot for bringing to my attention. I never would have known otherwise.

It was the last major update, the day Danby was released to Station Genesis and the attack on SRPANet. August 29, I think.
