Also, I looked up ERADITE VERUM for a translation. Roughly translated, it apparently means something along the lines of "True Education" or "Educated Truth" or something like that.

It seems to be a mix - some are definitely press, but I was just involved in Citizen Skywatch.

Also, according to one source at least, "Eradite Verum" could also translate as "Scrape the truth", which seems to fall in line with the website printed on folder #1 (in the sense of "scraping away" or "erasing" the truth, the way you might scrape away some paint splatters on a window).

I think this is a vid that isn't in the list already compiled, although the word on the folder seems to be a repeat:

2 SECURITY

And the newer video "What Happened in 62" you at the YouTube channel:

Right. I was trying to match that clip with the one's in the packages. Boy gets off bike, stares up at sky, at big black object. From what I can see the marking on the film strips are different.

Is it a pattern that the non US mystery boxes are missing the "bottle with black fluid"?

I hope #6 and #7 weren't taken out in the desert and blown up or something.

Could be troll #1? I packed my grandmother's trunk and in it I put an ashtray, a lighter...

I'm willing to bet one of the two remaining passcodes is hidden on the dictabelt records Alice has. If we can track down a dictaphone for her (looks like she's located in California) then we can find out what's on them.

Pima Incident Memo
Hey, look, easy stuff

Let's play puzzle pieces!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Everybody got different after-action reports, which nothing I notice there save for humorous death. X-COM, where death happens and you can't help but laugh or you'll cry. Anyway....
...the Pima Incident memo is the same for everyone, except they all got different blackouts. So, piecing together what I can (because we don't have all the boxes, and not everyone put up their memo online HEY GAME INFORMER GET WITH THE PROGRAM):

internal memorandum version 1961.8.12

XCOM OPERATIONS SITREP

RE: Pima Incident 01
Date: 11/1/62

{still blacked out}We are dispatching a ground team lead by Agent DeSilva to reconnoiter the area for RTL activity. Until we obtain ground confirmation, we must assume that any activity in Pima is uncontained. Director Faulke is meeting with Response Team commanders to implement contingency protocols.

{still blacked out}All teams will be placed on Alert Status 3 effective immediately with the exception for Agent Carter.

Any intel or evidence related to the Pima Incident gathered from National Reconnaissance Program activity must be cleared by Director Faulke personally before debriefing outside this bureau.







So, we need more (and more complete) package reports.

https://twitter.com/@alicechulski

Take-two also apparently registered this site with nothing there yet:

Nicely done, vidstudent!

Also... I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow - maybe the various websites will finally go live?

After checking out the twitter feed mentioned in the video's info, I'm going to say that this most likely is not a troll - more likely it's actually related to the game at hand.

The Twitter account's first posts were on April 18, and the video was uploaded yesterday.

I'm calling it as IG for the time being.

Aye, but only one day before this one was published.

There's just not enough to go to make a call either way. I personally will feel better when the lovely Miss Chulski posts something a little more concrete.

If IG, maybe we're supposed to doubt at first. The boxes are in the FedEx trucks, there was plenty of time to build her up some cred.

Colorado? Good to see my state get some recognition! If there's anything involving secret government stuff in Colorado, it's generally connected to our NORAD facility, which left a really ugly scar on the mountain and made this secret base far from a secret.

Also noticed that there's a date on the Kentucky sticker:

So, news!

One, there's a trailer up for a game called The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, and some of the footage in it should look familiar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-y2fJrHmy0

Second, the erasethetruth.com website is live - and again, it's tied to the aforementioned game.

I'm willing to bet that's not the end of the line just yet, though - we still have this SECURITY ACCESS CODE ALPHA thing to complete, and I'm willing to bet that will lead us somewhere. Not to mention Alice Chulski and her little unsolved mystery with those dictabelts of her grandmother's...
