Sounds intriguing! Also, LOL @ "Argleton". Very Happy

Not sure what help I can be, especially since I've got a wicked headache going on. Maybe I'll have a nice little lie-down and catch up on the podcast.

ETA: Holy cow, 28 roughly half-hour episodes. Oh well, nothing good on the DVR anyway... plus, "NPR meets Twin Peaks" is kind of hard to resist. In the meantime, a few observations:

You say it's a desert town. Interesting that the twitter is giving us points on 3 different continents - but I'm guessing that we can rule out England as the actual location of the town. Assuming that's what we're meant to be looking for, which is not at all certain.

What, no Exhibit 2/Point B?

Weird that the most recent tweet seems to be blaring "POINT A" even tho the link actually shows Point D. And does it really need to repeat "POINT A" seven times - is that meaningful, or just to add to the creepiness?

Exhibit 1 most likely refers to the Taman Shud Case AKA Somerton Man "one of Australia's most profound mysteries" and the source of a famous unsolved code.

Exhibit 3, IMHO I'm taking it at face value as a phantom town, a mysterious anomaly.

POINT A is the alleged location of the S4 facility of Area 51 a huge underground hangar. My understanding is it's a major (super secret) part of the base and central to the UFO and ET research.

I seriously get a "This Is My Milwaukee" style randomness vibe from the series Smile

I would love a Nightvale Arg

That might just be because I have a slight crush on Cecil...just a slight one.

There was an episode early on (I am on ep 13 or 14, so somewhere around 5 or 6, I am guessing), where they specifically mention viral marketing, and joke around that some audio that's playing might have something hidden in it.

Just did a cursory search of some podcast transcripts, but couldn't find it.

I doubt anything more is going to happen, unfortunately. I hope those new to Night Vale enjoy the show anyway.

Still... this newly declassified information about Area 51, released today couldn't just be coincidence ... ... could it? Laughing
