I think the phases of the moon in the video may give us clues to the dates.

So, if we look at the video, a waning crescent moon is visible, and if we look at a moon phase calender: http://stardate.org/nightsky/moon/ That phase seems to match up with Aug 28, which is tomorrow.

So, it seems we have a possible date, but location.... I'm not quite sure.

We have Kenner, LA, as one idea. Maybe even the crash site of flight 759?


Isn't Kenner in Louisiana, as pointed out by myself and A_champion?

Yes, that is what I'm saying. Kenner is where flight 759 crashed, and 1701 Taylor is the house that was destroyed, and in the first video, where the Aztec sybmol for for "Home" was located.

Bah *smacks self* I read LA as Los Angeles.

 		CaptKing:

I am pleased with the way you think. However, you anticipate me too soon.

Darkness will hide The Crescent on this day. A storm is brewing, yet The Crescent will be safe.

 		Ha ha, it's ok man.

Alright, lets compile what we have so far:

-The Crescent wants us to deal with locations and times, because as he stated, "there is only you and I anonymous... you and I"

-The first video deals with the crash of Flight 759 in Kenner, LA

-The crash occurred on July 9, 1982, 161 dead

-The one map we have, (the one with the Aztec symbol on it) is of 1701, a house which was sliced in half. Next to it is 1706, an empty lot which a house was destroyed.

-The second video, we see 7:59 AM, that may not be an actual time per se, because 7:59=flight 759.

The Aztec symbols are intriguing me as well. I believe the moon phases and may correspond with the Aztec calender, giving us a time/date

 		Something's happening tomorrow. A "storm is brewing" as he said. Most likely in LA.

 		I believe there wont be anything happening tomorrow actually. He said that I anticipated him too soon, and a storm is brewing, but the crescent will be "safe" as in hiding.


Something is happening soon, but I dont think he is quite ready for us yet. But, if we are going to solve this, we will have to think in terms of moon phases.

I am just throwing this out but could he mean a new moon?
Darkness would hide the crescent. This is if he is talking about the moon

As for the moon image on the previous page, reminds me of the Triple Goddess:

 		1) PMs you are prohibited from posting here, (mostly because it upsets player enjoyment). Please, the rule is for a reason.

2) I live in Kenner, LA and would be more than happy to check out any location anyone wants me to spy on EXCEPT:

3) The "tropical storm" IE hurricane Gustav is about to breath down our throats so for the moment I am preoccupied with packng and preparing to run in the case of a class 3 or + hurricane.

SO If I have the time, I'll check on locations. However if the PM is from here, all of you may have to wait until Gustav has passed us by...

Hah, I knew SOMEBODY was from that town. And if his house breaks from the hurricane, god forbid, it might be a bit hard to go along with that.

 		Hey Guys.
Just a quick shout to see if anyone noticed the 'incorrect' flight number in video one at around 4:40.
It shows flight number 459 rather than 759 (although probably just a typo).
Also, again not sure whether relevant or not but there is another video on youtube about the crash and survivor

Hope you guys don't get it real bad. I just left from down there, and will miss it. Don't have to go back to Louisiana for 2 weeks. Hope everything turns out for the better. Gustav seems pretty ominous.
