My problem with it is that it's too sublte if it's the Operator. Jay doesn't even acknowledge it and it's onscreen for half of a second. Marble Hornets has a lot of subtlety, but not that much.

I think that they noticed whatever that is while blocking and decided it'd be a cool thing to throw in with distortion.

To those that argue the distortion, remember distortion is not exclusive to the Operator. Far from it.

Also, no visual tearing/distortion of any kind in the entry, which is unusual for one with the Operator. There could be entries with him without any, though, I'm not 100% sure.

Probably just a case of a Hidden Mickey. I doubt they'd show a man wearing a black suit in the middle of a forest for no reason, eh?

Could it be possible that whoever it is is bending forward? Seeing as the torso is so short

But it's not a man in a black suit. It's a happy coincidence. Like if you're familiar with Kubrick, and how a pivotal scene at the end of Full Metal Jacket seems to be a direct reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey when really he just happened across the right looking thing.

Went through a few frames, upped the exposure, and this is what I got:




Kinda looks like there's two of 'em, one standing behind the other.

But I'm sure it's a camera trick, due to him panning to the left. Razz


OMG - twins!

Thanks for calling me blind when it's clear you aren't reading my posts.
The legs aren't split - what you're seeing is the same image twice as someone kindly posted earlier, correcting me.
And even if those were the legs of the Operator they are way too high up on the body leaving no room for the torso.
Furthermore there's no white undershirt.
And re:re:re:distortion. This is not an Operator exlusive phenomenon. Yes, he does make it. But so does a LOT of other people and things. Alex yells in entry 47 and creates distortion; does it mean he's the Operator?

You know, the more I watch the video, the less I can be certain that it's anything more than motion blur on a tree trunk. I just can't get confirmation.

I thought for sure it was him the first time I watched it - but when Jay had such a nonreaction, I don't think it's possible. You can argue that he has the ability to only be seen through camera but that isn't backed up by anything really.

Guys, it's more of an easter egg if anything; if it turns out it isn't him, everyone sleeps. If it turns out it is, everyone still sleeps. Let's just give it a rest, please?

Another thought: That white shirt, what if Alex was just using it to wrap something up?
So he could put it in his bag without it dripping and whatnot...

(This sounded better in my head, I swear...)

For the record, I wasn't trolling, even if my post may have come out that way.

Do I think what we're seeing is the Operator? Hard to tell.
Do I think that we're seeing a human form of some sort? Not unless they're really thin and we're viewing their side.

I was merely making the point that, with all this speculation, someone brought up that, because he pans so quickly, we get a double image. The first thing that popped into my head when I read that was TTA's Classified and the mentioning of The Twins.

Is it related or significant here? Possibly not, but the talking and the image DID invoke the thought into my head and I'm a teensy bit surprised I was the only one to have that thought.

Well everyone was begging for the Where's Waldo affect and as soon as they give it to us, everybodies doubtful. The sacada or what ever its called stops and then a very mechanically distortion noise cause then, the bug's start again.

I'm not trying to be a dick or whatever but everyone wants it back and when it does everybody complains. Bang Head

If its not The Operator, I'm alright with that but i really see it.

Yes, the Where's Waldo effect is back. No one is complaining about it. Everyone just disagrees over whether the Operator is actually in this entry or not.

I don't think the Operator is in this entry at all, yet I still enjoyed the Where's Waldo tension going on.

Ya that's very true! Razz

I just think that all the last appearences have been so upfront loud and obvious they wanted to slow us down back into the Where's Waldo effect by keeping the audio distortion, as a subtle hint.

That's my take sorry if i offended
