That all makes a lot of sense. Has anyone talked to him or heard from him in a while? I know he's supposed to be in a hospital, but it worries me that its been a few days since we've heard anything.

This message from Jeff brought to you by the letter 'ee'!

So much for my DNA theory. Razz

Duane Arnold is the name of the plant.

I just got finished reading the whole thread. A few little things.

Amana, Iowa (where he said he worked) is home to Amana appliances - formerly one of the largest companies in Iowa until it got bought. It ACTUALLY makes home appliances, but who knows what other things it has been subcontracted to design Smile

Amana is not far from Cedar Rapids, and has LOTS of marshes and wetlands that they have spent a ton of money restoring....

Just my bit. I'm going to be in Iowa most of december and i'm from there, so if errands need running, i'll help.

Good to hear he's taking the pill, otherwise this could have been a VERY short game!

Ha - we were way ahead of them with the whole Duane Arnold power plant thing. Go us! Very Happy

Aww, start playing in a percussion ensemble and you miss so much!

So what now, do we wait? So far the letters that have been repeated are: A, T, and E. Maybe he's trying to spell something out for us?

Lol, this is starting to remind me a LOT of Myst, where you get a bunch of clues and have to figure out what the right thing to do at the end is: the red book or the blue book? To take the pill or not take the pill?

On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_Arnold_Energy_Center, the geographic coordinates of the plant are listed. Using Googlemaps, I pinpointed the location and used printscreen. I tried overlapping it with the map Jeff got, but it was sort of a stretch to get the point to line up with anything.

Something else about the map: if it IS Iowa (which I now think it is), the "NO" on the bottom right would technically be in Missouri. Iowa doesn't jut out like that.

Someone needs to ask Jeff where those woods were. The woods in the original footage. I just realized that pinpointing that location could show us a little about the surrounding stuff (or possibly how close he was to the plant).

The woods were outside his apartment, and according to what he said, his apartment is in Amana. Hope that helps!

Something I find very odd

It's not just him; Steve kinda said the same thing. From the Package video:

10:15 Jeff "So I was talking yesterday to some people online and they asked me about my job. I couldn't really tell them anything because I said, you know, whenever I go home I don't really think about the job. But in actuality I can't remember, I can't remember last Friday. And I was going to write down what - what I remembered from my job today. I mean I just got back a couple hours ago and I honestly cannot remember anything."

10:51 Steve "All I remember is that you did not look good in that meeting today."

Something weird affecting their memories? Steve gets $800 from a guy who wants him to give a strange package to a friend, and he can't recall ANYTHING about the guy? He's either in on it, or there is no other guy, or Steve's being affected by it too.

The overhanging part of the Iowa map would not be in MO, it'd be in IL, apparently around the Peoria area. One other thing I thought of is that it might not say 'NO', but 'ON.' Perhaps we've got it oriented the wrong way?

Also, Amana is a 26 mile journey to the power plant, so while I won't discount radiation sickness or something like that, that seems to be a fairly safe distance to someone who has no experience with nuclear physics. Very Happy

Oh yeah, 26 miles is plenty far from the plant itself to be safe from any type of radiation in that aspect, especially with the safety precautions that nuclear reactors take to keep the radiation in check. However, if the plant were improperly disposing of its waste, like putting it in the woods for lack of room in the cooling chambers that radioactive waste is supposed to be in, Jeff would be in a good bit of danger. So would all of the people in that area.
What I think may be happening is that the place Jeff works for may be illegally obtaining the uranium, which is easily weapons-grade, from the plant, and all of the workers may be exposed to it if his work doesn't have the facilities in which to store it.
