I think our guesses have to be reframed within a more traditional story.

From the top:
1. When Alex was filming Marble Hornets, somehow, the Operator appeared.
2. Ever since then we don't know when or how the Operator was unleashed.

The only way for us to know is through Alex, who seemed to have "First contact" with the operator. An entry like this is valuable because it shows us a slow move backwards in time to the point where the Operator first appeared.

Everything will slowly fall into place under the biggest question being answered.

Very silly thought time: Alex was really just trying to find an excuse to move schools. In this entry he explicitly states that he wants to be at a better school and be closer to Amy, and he seems he can't wait to be finished with the filming. That's good enough reason to want to move, right? His movie project wasn't working and the conditions on set really were unworkable, so to justify abandoning the project and moving school he creates a fake operator, pretends it's stalking him, tries to kill everyone off except Jay and Amy, then runs off to Rosswood. The only person left in CollegeTown is Jay and he thinks Alex left for stalky reasons, and not because he was bored with school. Then it gets out of hand and in a moment of slight overreaction Alex ends up beating a man to death with a rock. Anyway, not at all serious, but the thought made me laugh a little.

But more seriously, I'm going back and forth on where to place #70 in the timeline. I can see how it would go after #4, but I also think it's possible that could be reversed -- if Alex went back to the playground in #4, trying to catch TO again, and TO, rather than teleporting out, messed with the playground equipment and moved just fast enough to be captured on film, then vanished, just to taunt Alex.

I get the feeling that TO was definitely playing around in those night appearances -- in #1, there is a split second at 0:33 where it looks like TO was already 'looking' toward the window Alex films from, waiting, then quickly turns his 'face' away before turning back for the jump scare. (I don't know if this has been discussed before -- there's no way I'm going to be able to read 15 pages of threads.) The sort of drifting by the windows TO does in #6 seems to have an element of cat-and-mouse to it for me.

Now in some video we see like them grabs light post by mistake in video.

I have nothing else to say about this entry that hasn't already being addressed here. So far, Amy seems to be the reason why the tapes were burned, but I'll wait for the rest of the burnt tapes (or rather, their excerpts) to be posted before reaching a conclusion.

It's amazing to see that people are still talking about Pravado and what he posted.

I think that he has trolled you all.

I think 70 takes place after (probably shortly after) 4, based on how Alex's camera lingers on the swing set in 70, almost like he's expecting the swings to do something (i.e., move on their own like in 4).
