I don't know to what point this may have been discussed, since it is mentioned in the wiki but I have never read about it on Unforum (which doesn't mean it hasn't been talked about; I just haven't seen it).
In Entry #1, when Alex looks out the window at 0:30, there's a person's shadow across the lawn, coming from the left. It seems like Alex looked out the window because he had seen this person, and then just caught sight of TO on the right. I think the shadow is obvious enough not to be significant.
Once again, sorry for stating the obvious if this has actually been talked about.

Besides, what's the deal with the audio? There's ambient noise throughout the whole video, including the white-on-black text parts. I can't find any reason for that.

I think the Operator is there in #5, but I am not sure if it is a shadow that Troy is using to convey this, or an actor dressed as TO. It looks a lot like a shadow, but if you notice, Troy, playing J of course, is moving almost imperceptibly between when he is listening to Alex and then focusing on the red tower, so that the shadow that I think is supposed to be the Operator appears to move behind that tree. I don't think it was an accident, in other words. But I don't think you can call it a true Operator appearance either, because it doesn't appear to be an actor in the Slender Man suit. I just think it's meant to be there, and that it adds to the confusion of the early entries, where you don't know what is going on.

This entry shows them location scouting before they ever even started shooting Marble Hornets. They are acting pretty normal, it seems only J is coughing. I don't think we are meant to know exactly what has caused the distortion at this point. But it's weird that he is coughing this early on, way before Alex started acting paranoid and mean. Unless Troy just had a cold back then or something, and the coughing means nothing!

I'm honestly not seeing anything that even resembles the Operator in Entry #5, but then again Slendy-Spotting isn't my best skill.

I'm not sure if it's relevant or not, but I do find it interesting that the distortion got worse again when Alex said "fire department".

Fire department... could there be a connection between the red tower and the hospital fire? Someone or something didn't want anything else to be heard when Alex started talking about the fire department.

Here is where I think TO is. Sorry for my bad skills on image editing. :/

Okay, now I see. I did notice it, but I think whoever/whatever it is looks too short to be TO.

On the other hand, depth perception. XD

[Kraehtot]

But he is so far in the distance and he is next to a great tree. I think this is the reason he looks shorter than usual

[Jiime_6]

Just sayin', Kraehtot has a point about the differences between languages. Being a Spaniard myself, I totally understand what she says. We're used to word things in a more sententious way and it's easy to be misinterpreted. It's not uncommon to say "But it IS that way" when the only thing you want is get someone to understand what you mean, not even try to convince them about anything.

And THANKS for the screenshot. I've been reading a bunch of posts saying TO was there, but I've never actually been able to see what they were even talking about. Now I'm not sure if that's him or not, but at least I know what you're referring to.

Hola. Nice catch but I think that is pareidolia, Operator looks too chubby and short, even being close to a tall tree. I see a tree behind the tall one and this is nothing but trunk deformation or something. On the other hand Slenderman is known for changing his height, maybe it could apply in this case.

[Kraehtot]

Yes, it could be pareidolia, as you said. I thought about it, but I don't know. Some of the things that convinced me that it was the Operator and it was not just my mind playing tricks on me is that whatever it is, is focused by the camera more than once and the fact that there are two white 'spots' in a distance that can make us think they are a head and a hand. If you add to those things the strong audio distortion, for me it is pretty sure it was TO. But, anyway, this is one of the things we will never know for sure, I guess. : )

[Debaser]

Those are pretty big trees and far away...it actually really could be him thrown in ever so subtle...usually they're a bit more obvious than that about him, but it might be legit.
