He says his city is along the lines of a triangle, so far, the two videos have given us two locations, the CN Tower in Toronto, and Coney Island in New York City. Could these be two points of the triangle, maybe we'll find the third in another video.

Buncha single frame images. I'm trying to capture them, but my machine is doing weird things.

Question...

Do the X's on the map we found earlier correspond to the places that we might have to go to?

Because one of those X's happens to fall right near where I live. If it does, I hope it's close to where I live, because I'm still working on getting my driver's license...

There are alot of things going on in the second video, so I thought I'd try to take it apart piece by piece.

First: The flashed 'hidden' images.

The girl:



The Roller Coaster:



The Nymph:



Second: The Location.

It seems apparent that we are after Coney Island -- the roller coaster points in that direction.



Which can be found here:

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=40.579868,-73.995838&spn=0.035202,0.060768&t=k&z=14

Now here is where it gets a bit hazy, because Mr. E shows the next aerial, and I can't seem to place it on the map.



If anyone can find this place, that would be great.

Also shown is a park shot:



And finally..."Moonrocks"



That picture puzzles me -- but again, open to any interpretations.

Everything else was fairly clear -- Seamonsters = Cardinals?

Although I couldn't get a crisp shot of the film-maker.

Maybe someone with fresh eyes can make more sense of this than I can.

I think I might have the section you can't ID, near my hometown Smile

It's an area in Boston, near the Boston Common.

Strange, I wonder what that has to do with it... Unfortunately I live in SE MA, so I won't be able to go if theres anything to get there Sad

...and a lot of the 48HIP references come from Cloverfield, so...

Doug, looks about right. Nice find. That is also marked on the map...

What had me puzzled is the single frame of the red cardinal overhang, which I thought is St. Louis (for baseball, which is not marked on the map) but can it be Phoenix (for football, which is marked)?

*EDIT*
Confirmed: Arizona Cardinals, the football team. Phoenix is marked on the map as well, so that fits.

Well, if you take the triangle as being Boston, CN Tower, and Coney Island:

All the other locations are secondary to Coney Island, and appear as Xs on the map.

I'm guessing we're waiting on a third video. After that, who the hell knows.

I'm surprised you guys aren't making more of the "tgiacu" thing. Seems pretty cryptic to me!

Then again, I'm a n00b lurker.

Okay, more obvious things. Might as well have them in one place.

Songwraith (guy posting videos) says he's 100 years old and German.

The recurring image is a manipulation. It's a combination of an old(?) photo of some guy in front of a building, and an empty field with a lone tree. Feels like I should know them, but that's probably because I browse stockimages for fun. And they look like standard stock.

Here is the Wikipedia page on ECHELON.

And the echelon disambiguation page.
