Operation Hermes / Project Enemy Unknown / Citizen Skywatch / Erase the Truth

Citizen Skywatch

CitizenSkywatch.com starts out by letting us know that the invasion has begun and that Citizen One wants us to join in the fight. You can tell Citizen One from all other Citizens because instead of an actual face, his head sports a giant number 1, which seems very unhuman to me. Maybe Citizen One is really an alien from Planet Numbers and is trying to get us to wage a war against the 26 species of Planet Alphabet (whose faces would of course sport giant letters). If we are practicing due dilligence, then we must at least entertain this idea that we could be helping Citizen One perpetuate inter-species genocide.

But until we have proof of Citizen One's stellar domination plans, let's "believe" that Citizen One is just a mild-mannered (if disfigured) patriot who is only looking out for our best interests. After all, he does have a nifty recruiting poster. §

Keeping Informed

Citizen One may not bother to alert all past IDD recruits as to what is going on, but he is determined to make sure that those who have followed him are kept well informed. So he has laid all out the different ways for his fellow citizen fighters to stay informed. He's set up a bulletin board at the 2kgames forums, a Facebook recruitment page, a Twitter feed, and of course the main webpage at CitizenSkywatch.com. §

Incident in Red Wind

Ooh! Now things are getting exciting. There's been an "incident" reported by Citizen 19 in Northern California. The photo seems to show one of those strange lightning strikes (like from the Yankee Doodle sighting). We still don't know exactly what this is, and Citizen 1 even encourages us to not jump to conclusions as this could be just a hoax. §

The next day, however, Citizen One does seem to provide some confirmation of the storm. He was able to get a RADAR report from a confidential source showing the phenomenon and even suggesting that it was being controlled somehow. Of course, the RADAR report doesn't give us any new information about just what this is, but I guess confidential sources can't give us everything. §

Citizen 19 was eventually able to put together this timeline of events in Red Wind.

8:30 PM: Ball lightning sightings until approx. 9:50 several miles from initial site. Interviewed eye witnesses speculated govt testing

9:30 PM: Lightning "strikes" in "formation" reported

11:00 PM: County police reporting isolated dust devils over scanner.

11:30-12:15 AM: Circular cloudlike formation with lightning strikes sighted

before dawn in Hearaldton: Rippling heat spotted above the mountaintop despite the cool weather

Citizen Zero

Meet Citizen Zero: the right hand (wo)man of Citizen One. She is the Chief Co-ordinator in North America and the Central Liaison globally. (Sadly, her speciality isn't spelling specialty correctly.) She also speaks with absolute authority for Citizen One and filters all information to him, so we had better hope that they never have a falling out or things could get messy. Like what would happen if Citizen Zero started working for the enemy and gave Citizen One bad intel? Can you imagine the consequences that could have? §

Preliminary Reports

Citizen One is now receiving reports of incidents from past members of the IDD. Not completely sure how much stock we should put into their reports, but at least they seem to back up what Citizen One has been telling us. §

N.U.F.O.S. Spat

So it seems that Citizen Skywatch doesn't always get along with other Unexplained Phenomenon groups. Apparently other organizations just aren't as displined, dedicated (and of course as cool) as Citizen Skywatch. Seems to be a bit like the pot smack talking the kettle, but what do I know? At the very least, the Northern California chapter of N.U.F.O.S. got about the same amount of information on the Red Wind incident as Citzen Skywatch, so they can't be complete deluded crackpots. §

*INCOMING* - N.U.F.O.S. REPORTS N. CALIF. FLAP

N.U.F.O.S
National Unidentified Flying Object Society
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CHAPTER
EMERGENCY MEETING

ITEM! Recent aerial phenomena -- are they caused by visitors???
NEW SIGHTINGS REPORTED LAST NIGHT:
In addition to Red Wind etc., more events *just* came in.

Witnesses report strange storms and weather events, crackling
lightning in the sky, ball lightning, etc. Can there by any
doutb "who" is causing this?

ITEM! Thrillingly, *MOST* of these sightings have OFFICIAL
witnesses! We count 14 police officers, plus postmaster.
And we continue to ask Red Wind USAF to cnofirm rumored
RADAR sighting! (Do any members have leads?)

ITEM! Some events center on MOUNT SHASTA -- famous for
its energy and connection with Lemuria / Mu!
Has anyone else heard about the "strange people"
seen wandering this area? We've heard of shadowy
"shapeshifting" figures. Let us know!!

ITEM! Volunteers wanted for late-night sky monitoring
at Mount Shasta location. TONIGHT!
Bring telescopes, camarasand lots of COFFEE!!

CONTACT YOUR AREA N.U.F.O.S. REP. FOR MORE MONITORING EVENTS!
LET'S NOT MISS GETTING PROOF OF THIS MAJOR "FLAP"!!!

                    ***********

ITEM! Lots of members have asked us about new organization 
CITIZEN SKYWATCH. We share common interests but they
seem to have their own angle on things. Our East
Coast president (Phil) reports a run-in at a recent
Md. meeting. Some psychich members were presenting
*channeled material* from Venusian Nordic mystics.
Skywatch members scoffed at this presentation &
said "N.U.F.O.S. would get nowhere" unless we stopped 
"Deluding ourselves!"

We have enough skeptics in the gov't and press!
Do we need *more* among supposed allies?

**************************************************************

NEXT MTG - SEPTEMBER! DATE & LOCATION TBD. USE THE PHONE TREE!
Citizen Soldiers:

This just in from Citizen 60:

“Atmospheric phenomena continue in Northern California. I attended a Northern California NUFOS ‘emergency meeting’ and obtained some new info -- see attached.
(Note the comments about CSW, they don't know what to make of us yet.)”

In the face of unprecedented phenomena, other groups have arisen to cope with the tidal wave of data, disinformation and ungrounded conjecture that have flourished in the shadow of official denial.

We cannot expect that all of these groups will examine the evidence with the rational discipline and dedicated thoroughness of our Citizen Soldiers.

However, from time to time, we may examine their evidence in an attempt to cull reality from rumor and fact from fantasy.

N.U.F.O.S. seems determined to tie the bizarre weather phenomena to the panic about so-called “flying saucers”. As we know, government sources disproved most of these sightings. A relatively small handful of such events may be connected to the phenomena that we have been tracking.

However, we do urge members to make note of the reports of mysterious shadowy strangers mentioned in the N.U.F.O.S. report. This conforms to previously reported events and suggests that we may be dealing with agents of an unknown foreign power responsible for instigating these atmospheric attacks.

Maintain vigilance and stand by for further orders.

- THIS IS CITIZEN ONE -

Recap of West Coast Events

Citizen One is wanting to make sure that we're all on the same page, so he's recapping the evidence from the recent West Coast events. I do find it funny that after smack-talking N.U.F.O.S. for being deluded, the Mount Shasta reports comes directly from the last N.U.F.O.S. newsletter (although they aren't explicitly mentioned by Citizen One here). §

Enemy Agents in Oregon

Here's some new information about the mysterious shapeshifting figures that N.U.F.O.S. first reported. A motel clerk spotted one staying in a vacent room. He even managed to snap a picture of it. (And since this is supposed to be taking place in the 1960s, we can safely rule out Photoshop.) §

POSSIBLE ENEMY AGENTS IN OREGON

"SHADOWY STRANGER" HAUNTS OREGON TRAIL

(Hardwater, Ore.) A clerk at the Teepee Truckstop Motel on Route 99 near the California border had the fright of a lifetime when an empty cabin was claim-staked by a not-quite-human stranger It was well past 3:00 AM when the clerk (who requested anonymity) noticed unusual noices and lights in an area of the motel lot that was closed for repairs. He approached and noticed shifting shadows of one or more strangers inside one of the free-standing cabins.

It was nothing the clerk hadn't encountered before. He'd recently rousted some local juvenile delinquents from the nearby town of Hardwater who'd tried to use one of the other cabins for a late night party. Armed with a camera, he was determined to capture the delinquents photographically before they could flee, as they had before. The clerk rapped on the wooden door and loudly warned the rabble-rousers that local police would seeon be on their way.

He expected the intruders to dive out a back-window, as the previous troublemakers had. He positioned himself with his flash charged, ready to snap away. Instead, he got the shock of his life.

Through the window peered a blank-faced stranger.

In the overcast gloom, the clerk couldn't make out the stranger's features. In fact, he said, "His face seemed to shift as I looked at it."

Terrified, the clerk fled -- but not before he snapped a single shot.

By the time police arrived, the room had been vacated. Their response was delayed due to temporary interference that garbled phone lines and interrupted radio communications.

The next day, the clerk developed his photos to receive yet another shock. Perhaps it was a trick of the light -- but the photo revealed demonically glowing eyes in the weirdly shifting face.

Mechanical error? A problem with the photographic chemical baths? Perhaps.

And perhaps it's just coincidence that this weird stranger appeared along Highway 99, the paved-over pathway of the Oregon Trail -- the notoriously brutal journey that claimed hundreds in the days of the Old West.

Some claim these byways are haunted by slain settlers. Others claim wrathful Indian spirits roam these roads, ready to wreck revenge.

However, motel guests have never prevoiusly complained about spirits in the darkness. So was it just an ordinary intruder inducing a late-night case of the willies? Only time and the Trail will tell.

A new article offers additional context on recent mysterious photo evidence, but the source is considered highly unreliable.

This sighting may be tied to the mysterious strangers sighted in Mount Shasta and adds credence to our conjectures re: next-generation camouflage technology.

Maintain vigilance and stand by for further orders.

-THIS IS CITIZEN ONE -

These mysterious figures really seem to get around. One was also spotted at the American Stonehenge in Maryhill, Oregon (or Washington if you want to be correct). Witnesses reported someone crawling along the top of the slabs after hours possibly trying to figure out the purpose of the structure. (It's actually a monument to soldiers who died in World War I.) The witnesses were able to get a photograph of the individual, although afterwards, the figure started staring in the direction of the witnesses even though they were hidden in the dark. As there was 300+ miles between occurances on the same night, it's a bit doubtful that they were the same individual, unless they have a better transportation system then we do.

Washington State Activity Nearing Climax

Lots of incidents have been reported around Washington State. Random lightning strikes on clear days, radio & tv inteference, strange men appearing around. As the focal point seems to be the Convention Center in Seattle, Citizen One is calling on any local agents to check in at the Convention Center so that they can be ready for Operation: Papa Alpha X-Ray. It's probably a good thing that Penny Arcade Expo is going on at the same time (August 26 - 28) so that agents can blend in more easily. §

Hanover Site Sabotage

The shadowy figures have struck again - this time at Hanover Site, a nuclear facility. I'm guessing it must be the top-secret twin of Hanford Site, a (now) decommissioned nuclear production complex on the Columbia River in Washington State. Anyway, workers at Hanover Site are investigating damage to the reactor - but it's unknown if the damage is sabotage or accidental damage while the intruders were doing experimental testing. §

Seattle Aerial Activity

More sightings of strange lightning and mysterious figures have been reported in Seattle. This is good news for Operation: Papa Alpha X-Ray. Citizen Soliders should be able to gather a lot of information over the weekend, although Citizen 13 is hoping for a bigger prize: the capture of one of the mysterious people. §

Unknown Agents in Seattle

It's okay everybody! False alarm! All the weird lightning and stuff has just been a new kind of firework. Or at least that is story someone is now trying to spread. I suppose it's good enough to keep regular citizens from getting too upset over weird lightning and people with shapeshifting faces. §

If only that were the end of the story. But it seems that Deputy Chief McElroy was so upset with people launching un-permitted fireworks that he contacted the Expo Organization Committee telling them that they needed to have permits in order to launch these new fireworks. One problem: the Expo Committee had no knowledge of anyone using fireworks. To make matters worse, their offices were broken into and blueprints relating to the Space Needle have gone missing. They suspect some strange acting gentlemen with foreign accents to be behind the theft. §

*BREAKING* - UNKNOWN AGENTS IN SEATTLE (UPDATE II)
Aug 25 at 8:00 pm
SEATTLE WORLD EXPOSITION
ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITTEE
Deputy Chief Michael McElroy
Seattle Metro Police HQ
Seattle, Wash.

Dear Sir:

We regret to hear about the recent airborne nuisance that has so upset
some local residents.

However, after further investigations, the Comittee was able to
confirm what I told you yesterday: we have not been working with any
group that's dabbling with the kind of effects you describe.
Therefore, in response to your inquiries, we do not know what nation
they claim to represent, nor if they are in possession of the
appropriate paperwork.

In short, if these individuals claimed to be connected with the Fair,
they were misrepresenting the truth and unfairly besmirching the
Committee's reputation.

Additionaly, we fear that these persons may be connected to the
intruders who broke into our offices last night. Early yesterday, some
rude and awkward gentlemen were demanding information on the Space
Needle project. Unsatisfied with our receptionist's refusals, one of 
these strange-acting individuals cornered one of our employees who was
forced to explain that, despite its name, the Space Needle was neither
a spacecraft nor a weapon.

Nonetheless, various blueprints and other materials have gone missing.
We suspect that these "visitors" were responsible. Based on their odd
behavior and diction, the employees involved suspect that these
aggressive men may have been foreigners.

Sincerely,
Chas V. Tallant
Acting President
Citizen Soldiers:

Citizen 13 has confirmed that enemy agents may be working in the Pacific Northwest theater, using a variety of cover stories. These individuals are not to be trusted. It remains unclear to what organization or foreign power cut these enemy agents owe their allegiance.

We know that key evidence has been destroyed or "disappeared" in the past. We cannot allow that to happen again.

All available Citizen Soldiers are to report to Recruitment HQ at the Convention Center in Seattle.

Prepare for possible mobilization later tomorrow evening approx. 6:30 PM PT.

***FINAL COUNTDOWN TO OPERATION: PAPA ALPHA X-RAY BEGINS***

-THIS IS CITIZEN ONE -

Operation P.A.X. Begins

Operation P.A.X. is here. Citizen soldiers will receive information for a field meeting to discuss evidence gathered by Citizen 13. Members should report to the HQ early for briefings and be ready at 6:30pm at The Rock Bottom Brewery for an evidence presentation. §

Operation P.A.X. Recap

Operation P.A.X. started with Citizen Soldiers visting the Recruitment HQ inside the Convention Center. As they waited in line, many of them were questioned by Citizen Agents wanting to know if they were Communists or not. On the walls of the office were many pieces of evidence - some of which were taken directly from the I.D.D (which now have the red HOAX and the blue REMOVED FROM EVIDENCE stamps all over them). There was also a large blackboard with all sorts of writing on it (including some Morse Code that translates to LISTEN TO THE RADIO).

Recruits eventually made their way into a medical room where they were again questioned, this time by a nurse and/or scientist. Some recruits were given Rorschach tests while others were asked their opinions on various pieces of evidence. Eventually, recuits were asked if they wanted to join Citizen Skywatch. If they were, they were taken to another room, asked their name, city and technical speciality and given an ID card.

The new recruits were also told to meet Citizen 13 at The Rock Bottom Brewery at 6:30pm to receive new information. Reports are a bit sketchy as to what exactly happened, but it seems there was some sort of police presence, a man was shot and this corpse was left behind. A video taken in the bar not long afterwards suggests that the man who was killed was Citizen 13.

Alert and Shelter Cards

The next day, Citizen 13's body was moved near the Headquarters inside the Convention Center and new recruits were continued to be signed up. After the joined Citizen Skywatch, they were then told to go visit the 2k Games booth. At the booth, they were given either a blue alert card (which has a slogan on the back) or a red shelter card (with a QR code) and sent on their way.

While that was happening, @citizenskywatch tweeted a couple cryptic messages:

Citizen 13 left us signs. The blue unlocks the red. The key is on the chalkboard. bit.ly/csw-bb #citizenskywatch Operation #PAX

The secret of Citizen 13 is in the cards. For every fallout shelter, there is a warning siren. bitly.com/C-S-W Operation #PAX

It's soon figured out that "the blue" refers to the blue Stay Alert cards while "the red" were the red Shelter cards given out at the 2k Games booth by saying "Citizen Zero sent me". Each of the blue cards was numbered 1 through 10 and contained a phrase. Each of the red cards had a QR code on the back that, when scanned, would compose a tweet numbered 1 through 10 and a long string of gibberish letters.

Looking back at chalkboard, you'll notice a square in the middle marked by the words "Transmission Grid" and "Quebec Romeo". This is a handdrawn representation of a QR code - like what is on the back of the red Shelter cards. Above the square is the phrase "I REVENGE" which is an anagram of Vigenere. This is given us the hint that the string of letters tweeted by the QR code is a Vigenère cipher. To unlock/decode the string, we'll need the blue card that has the same number as the red. §

So it seems that Citizen 13 may not be dead after all - if he is indeed the person who wrote the messages. But it seems like a pretty good bet because I can't imagine that the CSW Headquarters would be giving out messages from some random person pretending to be Citizen 13.

Imminent Menance

Citizen One has posted a disturbing X-ray of the corpse from Operation P.A.X. You can see how the weird crystalline structure goes right through his head. Hopefully, whoever he was, he didn't suffer too badly. §

Operation P.A.X. Documents

Now that Operation P.A.X. has concluded, Citizen One has posted links to the Recruitment Docs that were given out as well as a forum where Citizen Soldiers are discussing the codes that were found on the cards. §

New Photographic Evidence

New evidence of the strange mysterious figures has been received from an unknown source. Dun dun dunnnnn. The picture definitely looks like it could be from an alien. Either that or someone has flashlights for eyes. There's also a strange code written at the bottom of the photograph: 01111 00011 00 000 01 0100 00 0001 0. §

The code is discovered to be not binary, but Morse Code. Zeros are dots and ones are dashes:

.---- ...-- .. ... .- .-.. .. ...- .
13 IS ALIVE

I really hope that Citizen 13 is the one that sent the photo and is not meant to be the alien figure in the picture.

Disappearances in Washington

There has been a growing number of disapperances from the forests in western Washington State. In fact, there have been so many, that they are now posting warning signs not to hike alone. There's also a handy-dandy clue to the previous picture with the 1s and 0s on it. On the corners of the sign you'll see that it tells you that ones are dashes and zeros are dots. §

Weather Warfare

So maybe all the strange occurances that have been happening aren't extraterrestrial in origin after all. Agents in Washington State intercepted a cache of documents showing that the United States have been conducting their own weather manipulation projects. One of the more interesting projects is Tesla's research into ball lightning and trying to create a Death Ray. §

WEATHER WARFARE DOCUMENTS INTERCEPTED
Sep 2 at 4:39 pm

Office Memorandum • United States Government

TO:      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX          DATE: XXXXX, 1960
         National Security XXXXXXXX

FROM:    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
         Advanced XXXXXXXX Projects Agency

SUBJECT: WEATHER XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Weather manipulation remains a potential avenue for military
research, one which certain intelligence indicates that XXXXX
defense is currently pursuing. Thus we recommend intensive
and aggressive exploration of these areas.

The benefits of such efforts are readily apparent. Military
strategists have long acknowledge the importance of weather
as an uncontrolled factor in armed conflicts. Wind factors can
wreak havok with artillery, major weather events can prevent
naval maneuvers, while heavy gales and storms can interfere with
air operations. In contract, weather can also be employed
defensively -- e.g., cloud cover used as a camouflaging tactic
in airstrikes or wing defense maneuvers.

To date, weather has not been used as an affirmative offensive
tactic -- though it should be kept in mind that events such as
tsunamis have been known to inflict damage on miliary and
civilian installations well beyond the normal capabilities of
convential weapons technology. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

To date, research has been scattered and unfocused, following
several parallel tracks. What follows is a brief summary of
major events.

PROJECT XXXXXXXXX Though a public relations disaster this early
effort, combining work of the XXXXXXXXX, the U.S. XXXXX Signal
XXXXX and the Office of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, provided strong
indicators that weather manipulation was viable.

XXXXX - Primary research into hurricane modification became
the province of the U.S. XXXXXXX Bureau, resulting in a major
experiment involving Hurricane Daisy (1958).

                                                     (cont'd)

                                                          (2)
"CLOUDBUSTING" EXPERIMENTS (1953-1956) - Under the leadership of
the XXX, Federal investigators scrutinized the apparently
pseudoscientific theories of Dr. WXXXXXX XXXXX including the 
creation of so-called "Cloud-busting" devices which supposedly
enabled the manipulation of weather events.

XXXXXXs illicit "Cloudbusting" experiments were also associated
with sightings of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ("XXXXXXs").
However, evidence remains ancedotal. The arrest of XXXXX and the
successful suppression of his publications helped contain this
potential risk, but further investigation remains vital.

TESLA ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGIES - Nikola Tesla is noted for his
instrumental work in developing polyphase electrical distribution
and the A/C motor. However, a shadow follows his name due to
his association with controversial claims and fringe experiments
with pseudoscientific claims and trappings. It is imperative that
we discover the truth behind some of his more outrageous
theories XXXXXXXXXXX.

Prime among these was a project that posited that controversial
"ball lightning" observation were the result of natural pXXXXXX
electrical effects that could be harnessed in a kind of "Death
Ray." The sequel to a series of alarming experiments resulting in
the production of artifical lightning bolts in excess of 100
feet in the length, the TXXXXXXX project was proposed to the 
U.S. XXX Deparment and soundly rejected due to its questionable
underlying science. However, papers related to the XXXXXXXX
device may have disappeared in the peculiar series of events
subsequent to Tesla's mysterious death in XXXXXXXXX of the New 
Yorker Hotel. Some of the documents and experimental devices from
Tesla's vault XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

We believe that weather technologies such as hurricane seeding,
"cloudbusting" and the XXXXXXXXX ray have been XXXXXXXXXXX by a 
Russian military science team under the leadership of the late
Dr. Nikodim Vesilyev. We seek authorization and funding from the
XXX in our efforts to pursue further research in these areas,
while coordinating with the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX to gather
more information on investigation XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX by foreign
powers.

Citizen Soldiers:

Agents in Western Washington State have intercepted a cache of documents indicating the U.S. government's interest in weather manipulation for military purposes.

This is highly suggestive of the nature of recent phenomena, and the identity and motives of at least certain agents of unknown affiliation connected with recent events.

However, the derivation and authenticity of these documents have not been fully ascertained.

Maintain vigilance and stand by for further orders.
