Do we know what the Russian writing says?

Iran and Estonia seem very odd locations! What else could the numbers refer to?


Not sure about the numbers as the two I searched for are the only obvious co-ordinate type things.

I'm looking at translating the Russian now, but I'm not familiar with all the characters !


Ooooh this sounds like it might go somewhere! But then this ARG has started a number of things that looked like they might go somewhere...

I'll keep playing around with the numbers, this one is one digit out from the first two sets, i nearly got excited!

I'm not sure if this was active before, but there is a newspaper article at the top right next to the tape.

The article is about Dr Leyda Cupe who says an extra-terrestrial visitor has been under examination for over 20 years.

It also has a bullet point saying it was the Russians who first saw this in photographs sent back by Sputnik-2

It also says the craft was brought down to earth by operation Belt Trap in 1958

It mentions a group called APRO, Aerial Phenomena Research Organisation

OK, people, if you need Russian translation (and Japanese, and German) just ask kosmopol Smile

Anyway, Zort70 was correct with the last sentence: "not to be removed from archive"
[meta]well, it's not quite correct Russian though. correct would be "не извлекать из архива"[/meta]

About COB.CEKPETHO = it's short for "совершенно секретно", which is just "top secret".

[meta2]The stamp is actually from "Народный комиссариат гос. безопасности СССР", a "People's Commissariat for State Security" which existed untill 1946. I think, it's either a small chronology error, or perhaps is there something bigger behind this "error"[/meta2]

Thanks kosmopol.

I thought the words at the top might be Top Secret but wasn't sure.

Interesting info about the stamp.
