Awesome entry. The Observer's voice was really well done, and quite frightening. Gotta hand it to TribeTwelve for always coming up with something novel to add to their videos, like technology, and to do it consistently well. I also find it really creepy how those dates on the files are all back in March.

Noah threatened Slendy. Shit's gonna go down again.

Reading the transcript, I actually think where the Observer stands in relation to time is pretty fascinating. The sound file was supposedly created when Noah was abducted following the Nature Trail visit, and it does in fact refer to Noah being in the forest "an hour ago", which'd make sense if it had been recorded then - but at the same time, it talks about stuff happening right then and there. So perhaps the Observer is outside time altogether, to the extent where at least some of the Observer-extensions (the ones talking on this particular sound file) see things not as an orderly progress from past to present to future, but as one big present - and so their ability to speak sensibly to people with a viable time sense is hampered.

The last two entries have really restored by faith in this series.

Very good.

Wow, loved the latest video. Tribe Twelve is really picking up again.

My 2 cents on a few of the points of contention:

- I think the multi-pitch voice of the Observer is to signify that it is indeed made up of multiple people, of both genders. This is also supported by the fact that the message begins with "my child," signifying that part of this collective could be Milo's mother/Noah's Aunt, who would look down at him from that perspective. The Observer has never addressed Noah like that before, which further supports the fact that different entities comprise it.

- I really don't think Ed is part of The Observer(s). The last frame of the analysis video could signify that Ed is in serious trouble for getting involved in the whole situation. Sure, The Observer apparently knew Noah had/would cut the wires, but it also knew exactly when Noah swore. So, obviously, The Observer is communicating with Noah in real time. The message even said that "the walls have sensitive ears," meaning he was listening to him at that exact moment.

-Even if you don't buy that The Observer is communicating with Noah in real time in the message, let's not forget that The Observer was standing right behind the corner during the device analysis when Ed told Noah to cut the wires. That's another way he could have known.

-In the forest "an hour ago" could very well mean Noah's nightmares, where he also sees the eyes watching him. It wouldn't be beyond belief that The Observer knows when Noah is dreaming.

By the way, I loved the Plato's Cave reference. The Observer is a smart cookie. I'm interested in hearing about how The Observer is apparently some higher form of life than Noah and the rest of us.

Edit: Noah's been tweeting the contents of the device, including the sound files, pictures, and the text file picture of the observer. Could there be some messages coded into the text, or is it all for the sake of making the picture?

Well. I downloaded the audio file, and the observer is waaaaay creepier through headphones.

Seems like that text picture has Base64 in it. Yaaaay decoding!

Just for funzies, why don't speculate a bit on who could be part of the Observer collective?

Milo - Almost assuredly.
Mary Asher - Quite likely
Ed - Was likely in the hidden frame of the analysis video, given the scratched-out face treatment.
Corenthal - Lord knows it's a stretch, but could be possible.
Habit - Because why the hell not? (just throwing it out there.)
The Slender Man - He obviously plays some role, though it's not certain exactly what.
