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?


I have looked at a lot of sites and most do have the plastic model listed as 05742 and one site has 5742 dropping the zero. I have not seen it labeled as 005742 anywhere.
I still do not remember someone proving that this was the USS New Orleans in the On Deck image but I guess it makes sense given the model number. It's clear the numbers seen in the image are 5742 but I think maybe the 0 is expected to be added given the size of the hand drawn circle which emcompass the number shown.
Do you have information that leads you to believe this is 005742
?

 		What you guys need to remember is cloverfield wasnt the name of the creature, fans just called it that just so it had a name. Cloverfield was the name of the tape or a file or something. So since this film is blood related, it could be to do with anything and not the creature itself.

I found it on this site, second one down. RedFrogHobbies.com http://www.redfroghobbies.com/products.php?s=40&np=5&cat=10&scat=59

Edit - ignore my blather. The extra 0 must be specific to the retailer as I just checked. Trumpeters website and they have it listed as 05742.

 		were these numbers dismissed?

also the military uses a different coordinate system and seeing as how all these stills are navy oriented i would imagine we use that system.

I was looking into this as well, and it's interesting to note that if you go a little more south on Perry Road, there is a big "8" written in the field. I doubt that is anything but it's definitely interesting.


That "8" in the field is a bit bizarre......wonder if BR paid some farmer to plow his field or an area on his land to form the word of the 13th Birthday gift and we need the correct coordinates to see it on a satellite map. That would actually be kinda cool!

This was my guess as well. Google maps puts the marker just off Perry Rd., which could possibly be considered part of public-right-of-way.
Except you got the 4 & 7 swapped. Smile

It's not going to be MGRS unless there are some letters involved.

Military coordinates do not use minuses, commas and decimals. The only reason we we're pretty sure these numbers are coordinates is because of the specific punctuation used in such a way as to suggest coordinates.

Also there's no reason to complicate this with other numbers that are not seen in the trailer. They might be of use later, but right now there's no reason to believe anything but the trailer images are involved.

Wouldn't be the first time, unfortunately. It'll more than likely happen again, too. Rolling Eyes it's why I end up editing most of my posts because no matter how many times I reread it before posting, there're still all sorts of errors.

Untill someone finds another pattern that uses all these numbers, I'm leaning towards this general location being reference for something we haven't seen, yet, or just the film itself. An hour and a half drive outside of just one major metro area seems like a bit of a stretch for a dead drop. I think we're kinda coming to a consensus that anyone physically going to this area to hunt something down is probably a bad idea, no?

I think, at least to my eye, it seems that the circle around 5742 does appear to be big enough to potentially include another digit or two (or three?) ahead of the 5742 bit and still look balanced.

But yes, I think the time of the chat log could be considered the third four digit number and this the fourth.

In that case, chronologically:

4813
4232
0158
5742

Other notable numbers:
70 (from Radioman shirt)
4 (background of Dr. Huang's employee picture)
550 (puzzle pieces in Cat Fish puzzle)

Any I'm missing?

I'm not picking up a pattern on the four four-digit numbers. Anybody else see anything?


I just scrolled through the past thirty nine pages and didn't see anyone mention this. Do numbers not count if they're upside down?

I feel like the Howard Stambler might be legit. Post a recipe for Spaghetti Salad yesterday, and it looks like the crew was eating that in the first trailer.


Did I miss something? Where was this?

This is a crap recipe. Two whole onions and two whole tomatoes? The numbers are the key, and/or the name of the file "Ca6Dd71UUAElsOw" or the woman's name at the bottom: Shirley Watson, Mechanicsburg

For instance, here's a similar real recipe at the McCormick site:
16 ounces rotini, fusilli, or shell pasta 1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian or ranch-style salad dressing 4 tablespoons McCormick® Salad Supreme® Seasoning 5 cups assorted raw vegetables (tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, or red onions).
It looks nothing like this.

 		I absolutely mentioned the box numbers many pages back when 4 digit numbers were first brought up. But it's been a lot of pages since then.

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1061118#1061118

I still say the coordinate numbers aren't gonna be in anything but the 5 trailer frames. I would not be entirely surprised if there's a 6th frame we're missing. Apparently Pretty in Pink is on HBO now tonight? Dunno.

Anyways there have been SO many other numbers it would be chaos if we were just supposed to plug other numbers in randomly.

No puzzle is gonna totally lack a pattern or rationale like that. It ceases to be a puzzle and starts to be a lottery.

Nice catch, actually. I think we were exclusively using the numbers from the trailer flashes, but a clue's a clue.

Did we ever get confirmation that the HS twitter is IG? I'm kinda with Pixie in that an egg pic is generally game jacky.

And ljm's that I quoted, and the post about "four numbers" preceding that one both didn't mention these upside down ones. (I was storing mentions as I went through to make sure it wasn't duplicate.)
So, they needed reintroducing if they're in some way useful - and who can tell? But that's why this is a group effort and not just one person: the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

And, this has become an impenetrable discussion. It needs subdivision so people can find a topic easily. I was focusing on the numbers as I read through those 39 pages and I am NOT going to do it again to sum up the clues about something else.

As the word gets out, expect more and more people saying "I don't know if anyone's said this but..." and it's not fair to lambaste them.
