What's up Unfiction, glad to finally be a member have been reading and lurking for years but heres my first post. Live in the heart of New Orleans, and am here to make myself useful. If anyone has any co-ordinates they would like me to check out just let me know and I will document everything. We are getting close!


If that 30.6 is right- then latitude would be have to be north of New Orleans. Do you know Covington at all- can you think of any tie in it would have?


Yeah my GodMother actually lives over in Covington so I go there fairly often. Me and another local are planning on meeting up today or tomorrow and checking out a few of the co-ords that have been suggested. We will take pictures and all that and report any findings. We are obviously hoping to discover something but more excited about making new friends thru Cloverfield...that's what ARG's are all about! Getting out of your comfort zone and exploring the unknown. Let me know if you have any specific co-ords you would like us to check out.



OK-I'm using 0.12, 30.6, 9,-9 , 68 and 742.

Get two sets with those in LA:

30.6689 -90.12742

30.67429 -90.1268

They both seem to be on Middle Rd in Covington.

Covington does seem to be a town where Howard might live- conservative- tallest statue of Ronald Reagan? It also seems to be a kind of suburb of New Orleans- so still attached. The trailers show a house out sort of by itself with land around it- and that seems to be the kind of countryside in the street view of these co-ords. So at least this area it could be within the world of the film.

So here's here nearest google street view from the second set of coordinates. (30.67429 -90.1268 ) The most recent streetview is May '08, so no telling what's changed. Seems a bit remote for a dead drop, not to mention risking a "get off my property" situation.

Edit: Added Google Earth shot for reference. Red dot is about where the street view shot is from.

Hello again, fellow Clovie ARGers! Can't believe I'm back here again (and it's only been 8 years...) How did this fly under my radar for so long?! Can't wait to see where this one leads us.

Now, to get caught up with everything so far...

I haven't yelled at one one yet, believe me when I do you'll know. I'm wordy, but other than me saying "frak" a whole lot in a post to Gimlet (which wasn't directed at Gimlet, but rather at the PM team who I don't feel are doing a spectacular job) I've had no anger. A trout isn't yelling at someone... And I myself got a very well deserved trout earlier today. Smile


For what it's worth, I whole heartedly agreed with everything you had to say in the post you're referencing. Got lost in the excitement & shuffle of all the new events over the last few days, but this PM team is seeming sloppy at best, antagonistic at worst.

Don't get me wrong, I'm suuuuuuper happy we've got a real puzzle to solve now, with potentially a real live dead drop at stake. But getting there. Grrr. They are not making this easy on any of us.

EDIT: And thinking about it more, making these coordinates hard to decipher and running the risk of sending gameplayers out into private, tresspasers-will-be-shot property in the middle of the Bayou is not super cool. Kind of the definition of sketchy.

Like how many Horror movies have exactly that premise?

I googled Pellegrin out of random curiosity. There's a second link to the Tsunami of 2011 Hinoai caught previously.

Paolo Pellegrin is a photographer with some renown that covered the aftermath of the event. Likely nothing, but apparently the over-research crazyness is catching up to me as well.

MESSAGE TO 10CLOVERFIELDLANE PMs


People are about to drive to the wilds of Louisiana to investigate some random house in the woods. If this something that you do NOT want to happen, please release better versions of these images so that we can go down a better path.

Haha, yeaaaah. Cosigned, Gimlet.

On Reddit there were local guys going yeah, for sure I'll check stuff out in the city but LOL NOPE to driving out to the middle of nowhere Bayou and sniffing around peoples properties.

Like if the locals won't do it...

I once talked to an older Army Corps of Engineers gentleman from St. Louis (which is quite close) doing work out there who had this to say about it: "You ever been to the Bayou? IT'S THE BAY-OU."

I'm going to say this with as much seriousness as possible:

DO NOT! GO ON! PRIVATE! PROPERTY!!!

It's illegal to trespass, as well as it can be physically dangerous. I PROMISE you, no legal team behind Paramount would allow that to be included in a game. It would make Paramount very liable, and they just wouldn't do it. this isn't spec, this isn't me disagreeing with a possible solve.... If you can't get to it from public space, don't.

Reddit is heading out:

https://www.reddit.com/r/10cloverfieldlane/comments/462sdq/going_on_a_field_trip_to_check_out_coordinates/?

If any of you have any concerns or ideas you'd like to be explored, let them know.

Also listen to Pixie! Louisiana has both strong tresspassing laws, and Stand Your Ground legislation. Making tresspassing illegal and dangerous! Also, yeah we haven't exactly signed waivers, and I can't imagine Paramount EVER willingly taking on that liability!

Re: 5742 or 742
Playing with pictures

I am still in the belief that the on deck image is 5742, but I can also when staring at the screen and then into space and then into my mind... for a few er..mins ..see a wavy 3 off set...

I have played a bit with contrast, brightness and then lastly embossing the hard lines of the image itself just to see if it would pop out better.

This is not for certain and I don't intend to sway because as you know we might not be doing anything here at all...

It appears like the numbers are at least a set of 4 because the circle around it extends out longer..I think.

I've made myself as nuts as I can on this until clear shots, (hopefully) Digital, come out. Flaming Nutter


I agree about the circle meaning more numbers in there. Haven't they made a fuzzy mess in that corner?! It seems like you can see through the dark area- but you shouldn't as it looks like it should be the solid edge of a bag that the magazine is in.
I'm thinking we should just take the really clear numbers here, hoping they aren't expecting people to roam around trying to verify very sketchy data in a swamp.

Agree that we arent meant to know the gift Megan got. What would we do if we did? All of us say we are Megan and then type 'what?' into the chat bar? If she does make a virtual appearance, what would she say? 'I'm comin Dad'!!?? Thats why they chose an answer that almost impossible to guess..

I am relatively certain we will never see Megan.

As far as the 5742 goes, we have already confirmed that the picture on the cover is the USS New Orleans and the 5742 (which is clearly visible guys) refers to the model kit number from a company called Trumpeter..Thats too much of a coincidence to be one..

I have to believe that the scenes from all the trailers were filmed before any ARG was even conceived so thinking 4813 was chosen beforehand to have a secret Game related meaning is a bit of a stretch.. Thats why all other clues are post-production add-ins..Same for Swamp Pops.. Either way, we should have our answer soon..

Of course some people on reddit are going to do it anyway, that's what they do. If it wasn't for them, then the native Maine folk might not be so pissed about CAH giving us an island - those jerks walked thru many a yard with destruction a theme and not a single unselfish thought. If a miracle happens, and they find something on private property and get back safe, well then good for them {and i'll officially lose all faith in the PM team} but otherwise, i think they are being idiots.

For what it's worth, I received a different photo of the "On Deck" image, and you can see the 5742 pretty clearly here.

This, this, this.

I lurk reddit, but I never actually participate over there because, well, I'll just be nice and say that it's not for me. I did, however, see a few people theorizing that they should visit those addresses because "What if Paramount rented out a house that people who participate in this ARG can go to? It might be full of free Bad Robot merch!" I can't even fathom this being the case. Others are saying they'll drive by these locations "slowly" just to check out the houses. I can't imagine a senior citizen seeing a bunch of cars driving by their houses slowly and looking into their residence and what type of reaction that might inspire.

Well, that is certainly clearer! Since the full model number is 005742 would it make sense to assume that is what we are not able to see but is encompassed by the circle?
