TROGL

[NOC14672]

For me those badges were retrieve at an accident site, not necessarily at the site of the train crash, and the Image ID code is the code of the item in a catalog, some kind of list of elements found at the site (like a invesigation report), and this explain the ruler part, is an indication of the size of the item. If a investigation happens, for me that is a certain, a report must exist. I believe the TROGL written is Mysterio's job (and therefor a clue for Josh), and he/she participated of the investigation, and therefore possesses the report, or he/she acquire it otherwise (and that's my fantastic conclusion of the day ).

Edit: I forgot to say that at Nellis Air Force Base there is a 58Th Rescue Squadron (the identification number at the badges start with 58 ), but from 1970 to 2002 that squadron was apparently disabled.

a few observations -

- has anyone noticed that there are 12 stars surrounding the eagle in the USAF seal - not 13 like the current seal. Is this the original USAF seal, or are they not permitted to duplicate it?

-Why would a blank page be uploaded? Is there something about it we are missing?

- What has happened to these ids? Clearly they have been subjected to some kind of elements - fire? water? sunlight? Perhaps they were retrieved from a file cabinet in a train wreck - or it is just they sat in storage for a long time?

And why would somebody rip off the photos (it looks like that is what happened)?

Just for the record, I did try and line the images up to see if they revealed anything. I lined the up so all the rulers matched and I also tried a few configurations of the 'triangular set of dots' but I haven't found anything.

Why would you measure the width of an ID card?

Is one fake?


Why is one of them folded?

Sometimes you can fold a plasic card and then peel off its lamniant.. I wonder if anything is hidden inside these cards.

Just some thoughts.. I love this game!

As has been discussed before, there is no train access out to Area 51—air transport or ground via tractor trailer to Nellis and then access to the rails in Vegas—so these badges/passes we're examining may have been solely for use on Nellis AFB (and not Area 51), and as Headman, I believe, mentioned, there would be a different protocol for ingress to a base the gov't doesn't acknowledge as even existing.

As far as the badges, I'm thinking the damage to them happened either when "It" was originally found, or later at the train crash. Often, security/military badges have pertinent info on their flipside, and I'm wondering if this was the case here. The orientation of the badges on the ruler looks like nothing I've seen done with any forensic integrity, so either their placement means something crucial, or they might as well have been tossed onto the ruler. (Jane said blogging and drinking don't mix—ditto for forensics.)

Sort of a creepy thought I had regarding what type of "It" we're dealing with here. With Josh gaga over all things aquatic, wouldn't it be bizarre if during one (or more) nuke detonations out by Area 51, they irradiated an ancient aquifer and what was living therein. And a couple of mutant genetic generations later we have our beasty?

Would some people be able to take a look at the wiki http://super8.wikibruce.com and see what can be done to get it back up to date? Looks like the last update of any real kind was October 1st... I believe a number of things have happened since then (not the least of which is this STIES update)
Thanks
