The car number, 51, does not correspond to any of the districts on the map. I guess we are going to have to wait until The Last Palm Tree puts up more pictures.

In Eric's new blog video it sounds like there is some morris code near the end when he is pulling up Mikes Blog you can also see what looks like Mikes blog in his tv behind him.


Jumping in -- sorry.

I like the morse code idea... if I were stuck in an area cut off from the rest of the world with no power, internet or phone usage (like in REC/ Quarantine), the first thing I would think to try is morse/ p.o.w. taps... that is if I actually knew morse. The clicking in the video doesn't sound like any noise I've ever heard a computer make... maybe it is relevent?

As for new pictures, I think we might be waiting a while... release date is seven months into the horrizon, and the point of a viral campaign is to build hype up to a release date... I've never seen a viral campaign effectively build steem for seven months straight... they will be pacing themselves, sooner or later (or releasing plenty of new content to keep us scratching our heads). Does anyone here know morse?

minor update -- after listening to the message no less than 30 times, and playing around at http://morsecode.scphillips.com/translator.html , the closest I can get is HMSSTIMM or HMSSTIMI. HMS is an abreviation for Her Majesty's Ship, used by the Royal British Navy... but as for the rest, who knows. Feel free to play around with it, but I think it might be a dead end.

And is it just my computer, or is it that every time I play the video, it sticks a bit and he repeats the words "check this out" and "listening to it" after the clicks. Is this just his speach pattern, or what? I know this might be streching things a bit, but it was just something that stuck out for me.

About the second video (the one slowed down), the purpose of it must be for us to find something, right, I mean what would be the point of puting a few more seconds of what we already seen? But I can't identify anything of use.

I think I could just be there to show us the person trying to get out.

I'll have to view it again, but it did look like the person was wearing black with some sort of white marking...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the original movie "REC", nobody gets shot trying to leave the building, but the police and the EMTs approach the windows upstairs and do get threatened if they attempt to exit the building.

I think that the person in the picture could be either an EMT or law enforcement trapped in the building along with the civilians.

At first I thought it was just a shiloute (or even a shadow), but now that you mention it, it definitely looks like the person is wearing all black. It could be a police officer... that would tie in rather nicely with the "missing cop" thread going on over at Last Palm Tree...

That shooting happened near Echo Park. I have some friends who heard shots and all sorts of crazy sh*t going on that night. Check out the neighborhood off of Alvarado and Sunset. If you use my comment call me Linus.

There is a new image at the Last Palm Tree, although I can't seem to find any similarities between the buildings in it and those in the video.

Its someone's or some thing's beginning with a "T"s bowl as the last two blurs appear to be an apostrophe and an "s"

Just got an email from Eric,
Quote:
Dear friends,

Thank you for your support the last few weeks over the video I posted on YouTube. I'm beginning to get some addresses of where this might have happened. But I need people on the ground get me additional photos, or videos.

Mike, your blog has been a hub for photo activity. I know you are asking for photos as well. Does anyone live in LA and if so could you please send Mike photos of neighborhoods the shooting may have taken place?

Here is what I have:

East of Koreatown
Near Macarthur Park
Off Wilshire

If you live in LA please contact me. If not, perhaps this type of thing has happened in your town. Send in any photos of mysterious activities the government or police are up to. They cannot contain the truth.

Thank you for your help and time.

best,
Eric

Also, a new blog post from Mike. He mentions a missing firefighter that could be related to 1017. I'll check those areas out on google street view

With someone on the ground, we'd find this place in no time. Could take forever using Google maps and StreetView.

Nice that pretty much all of LA is photographed at street level, though...

Yeah, street view is not the best method for this.
