Maybe Clive's father was connected to the Travis Walton UFO case? Maybe we can find out if Clive or his father used to live in Arizona?

To calm it down:

Josh was drunk one night (yep. it's a true scandal).
He got interest/ed on Sarah.
Clive sucks.

Yeah, cool. I wish him best effort.

Go Joshi, go!

This might be a VERY longshot at 112 but after doing a google search with simply "112 coelacanth" there was a wiki article about Latimeria which is:

"Latimeria is a genus comprising the only known living species of coelacanth."

In the Discoveries bracket I found what google picked up on:

(May 19) Indonesian fisherman Justinus Lahama caught a 1.31 meter (4.30 ft) long, 51 kilogram (112 lb) coelacanth off Sulawesi Island, near Bunaken National Marine Park, that survived for 17 hours in a quarantined pool.[5]

I did a google search for Justinus Lahama but hit a dead end. There was a site called Cryptumundo or something but a few glances and it seemed OOG.

112

I was wondering if this relates to the Fibonacci Code. Taking Josh's first sentence:

Quote:

Well, that wa unexpected.

And removing the comma so we have wellthatwaunexpected. Then selecting the corresponding fibonacci positions 1,1,2,3,5,8 (etc.,) we get:

Quote:

Well, that wa unexpected.

Quote:

We land

Not sure if this is coincidence yet. Applying this parsing scheme to the whole message becomes somewhat more complicated with paragraphs and other characters like "- ' ." The latest posting strikes me as very fishy Wink

Running the whole thing (removing commas but including stops for positions 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144) I get:

We Land In Wiaj (or Widd depending on "-")

Wiaj refers (among other things) to an old AM radio broadcasting station as of June 30, 1923: "WIAJ","Neenah","WI",1340,"Fox River Valley Radio Supply Co. (Quinn Brothers)"

Again this radiostation reference.

112

First thought that comes to mind is Day 112. As in, this is Day 112 of...

So counting back from Aug 21st, Day 1 would be May 2nd I think?

Josh had a post in the Coelacanth journal that day:

So much for selling old collectibles. I forget what's going outside my own little world sometimes. But it appears the economy isn't much of a friend right now. I can only get about half of what I wanted� and my guy in Canada just doubled the price. Holding off until I raise some more. I had already bought a really nice compass, too�.

I also think we need to rethink where Josh works. I've been following posts as best as I can, and the general consensus has seemed to be that he works at a paper company. However, climate shouldn't affect sales at a paper company (I suppose an argument could be made that he means economic climate, but I think that's unlikely).

Your right, it could be economic climate. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. May be how they are relating to us in the here and now. If he does work for a paper type company it could be a paper mill as they are affected by the climate. Considering he speaks of the "office" I would assume he doesn't work in the actual mill, rather the corporate office perhaps? Just another option to think about while we await something big.

112

Hi guys,

I am new to this forum and this is my first time taking part in any ARG.

First thing that struck my mind when I read the number 112 was that this is the emergency number in Germany.
I don't know if this has any significance.

P.S.: If my english is poor i am sorry. This is not my native language.

Coelacanth

Interesting how Josh has given up on his Coelacanth journal. Could all have been a (pun-------------->) red herring?
