 		Yup
It's quite strange, the video embedded uses Steam Player instead of their other one. I opened Steam and navigated to that page on (using it like a web browser) still nothing...

 		Hey AVR,
Whilst you are looking at that, can you verify the the piece of lab equipment on the first table is the source of the golden ratio tones? Seems to be, but it's been hard to tell from posted videos.

 		OK, downloaded and i got it for you
My theory is that when this device is set to the right frequency it emits out of that device in picture 2 keeping "the monster" calm.

But in clip 69, it showed that device being used to make the cubes levitate Confused Soooo i dont know

EDIT: Yes also 100% that emits the sound

EDIT: also, at the end carriage (where the "monster" is being kept) it looks like an AC unit. But it is leaking water, Maybe they were spraying the thing with water?? I mean why would it need an AC unit LOL

 		GREAT!! Thanks for doing that!
So, we have this 'thing' emitting the golden ratio tones, and, as seen in clip 69, affecting/activating a cube. But it doesn't look like it is simply a speaker device, like it is emitting something else, and the tones are representative of that.

 		Going back to the drawing below. I see now that it's just a drawing of the "Golden Ratio Tone Maker". I think to give us a better hint at what this really is, they included what the inside would look like. I'm a dummy for not realizing that the little holes near the top of the device drawing represent the holes in the physical device. So going back to this again, does anyone recognize the inner workings of this device?



The rest of this is me thinking out loud....As stated before, we have:

Quote:
You'll need to change the battery when you find it , it will properly be dead. use the equation to set it to the right frequency


Pretty certain this device runs on batteries, and the equation to set it to the right frequency is the golden ratio equation. I know the sounds we are hearing are the "Golden Ratio" beeps, but it doesn't make sense how it could be creating those sounds. What if the device is also emitting inaudible (to human) frequencies to affect the cubes? If our creature can emit those sounds (to control the cubes?), explaining the dog disappearances, then perhaps that's what really being tested in the labs with that device.....I'm losing it....where's Jane and her hats???

I like this theory

Table thingy
Scintillator on the table?
That device on the table looks striking similar to a scintillator I've used before. Scintillators can be used to detect Gamma Rays and their energies from a radioactive source, which can help identify the elements that compose it.


The voltage pulse produced by the Scintillation detector is shaped by a multichannel analyzer (MCA). The multichannel analyzer takes the very small voltage signal produced by the detector, reshapes it into a Gaussian or trapezoidal shape, and converts that signal into a digital signal.

Also An analog-to-digital converter can be utilized: Typically, an ADC is an electronic device that converts an input analog voltage or current to a digital number proportional to the magnitude of the voltage or current:

Alright stick with me here...then could they convert that to a little sound box.. aka RATIO?

I don't even know if they had that tech back then.. so i'm gonna file this blabbing of mine under too much candy

Why its booping and beeping? I think it wants a chocolate rabbit...wait thats me..

 		Hair Dryer Unit
Hello,
Go to the pdf link from the revalistic site from thire previous post. This is the report titled Greek Fire. Open it and go to page 49/50. Examine the image titled figure 2. You will notice similarities to the hair dryer unit schematic. Read what it does in the lengthy text. These are the same units. It indeed makes the cubes dance, emitting electrons at a specific frequency along with the tones. We see it in 2 editing room clips, in the Portal trailer, and now in this pdf file.

This coupled with the youtube link from the latest post (Argus) suggests an atmospheric system of shooting electrons back and forth along the earth's magnetic lines...a nuclear option of high altitude detonation. A space shield.

While you are in this file, scroll down to page 54/55. The guy with the pipe has something wrong with his face. It looks like they tried to change it for some reason. Very odd. Happy Easter.

 		grasping at straws...
Just looking at the stills from the Portal 2 bonus trailer. In the first pic, the one of the newspaper, there is a coffee stain. It's a circle with some other smaller stains in there. Any chance ther's something there. Can't make out to words. Maybe the inner stain is on specific words.

What he said^ Smile

Anyone been able to find the original image without the Photoshop'd face??? I've been able to find all the other images from that .pdf but not that one.

Edit: For what it's worth, I can't find the original image of James Schlesinger with that pose either, although his hair at the time was very very similar, but he was the Sec. of Defense from 1973-1975 and Sec. of Energy from 1977-1979.......in case that leads us anywhere.

Don't know about the original, but here's the only copy of the picture I could find (bottom left). His face seems to look the same with the pipe. It's in the April 26, 2002 Newsline (LLNL's employee newsletter) on page 3 in a section about LLNL's history between 1952 and 2002, which focuses on 1968. Schlesinger was the chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission at the time. The resolution is bad, but it is the same picture.



Here's a link to the newsletter:
https://newsline.llnl.gov/employee/articles/2002/04-26-02-newsline.pdf

This is from the Coleman Greek Fire/Astron paper:

Quote:
On September 24, 1972, after a typically long day in the lab, Christofilos headed for Livermore's Holiday Inn, where he sometimes spent the night to avoid the long commute back to his home in Berkeley. He had met that day with James Schlesinger, the chairman of the AEC, but no record of their meeting remains (Figure 10). The next morning, when he did not show up at work, Christofilos' secretary, Lois Barber, went to his hotel room to check on him. She found him dead of a massive heart attack.


If this is true - Schlesinger would have been one of the last people to see Christofilos before he died. Maybe he delivered some bad news about the Astron project that put Christofilos over the edge.

Not sure of the best way to approach talking about these images as far as ARG is concerned.

The map - the route from Area 51 to Ohio. "Red Maid IV" threat protocol by Lt. Col. ? Rosenblatt and a device drawing.

Gosh, does it like to eat meat? Livestock manifest Engine 1912 looks like possible codes? 15FHRD, 10LC2D, 10PS2D, 5ERGC7 I also think that charred animal in clip is from train. Then there's the mention of bag guano and zooplankton - caves and water. more numbers 10 cars, 933 tons, 491 feet, ER 1800 tons.

Yeah! A Rocket Poppeteer popsicle.

cubes.

and license plate E 6425 K Ohio

xi_wolf, thank you very much! any chance of video of walkthrough? Not sure if Portal2 provides recording moves.


I was looking at the gallery photos on super8news and noticed the back of the 3-dot trucks have "ARGO" on them too.

By the way ARGO is the name of the ship built by ARGUS in the story of Jason and the Argonauts.

There must be a connection to Operation Argus and Sarah's research.

There is also "TF88" written on the back of the truck.
