Citizen Spywatch |
It seems that there is some dissent within the ranks. Someone is questioning Citizen One's leadership and has created a new website at CitizenSpywatch.com as a bit of a challenge. Whoever is running CitizenSpywatch does have a good point about us knowing nothing about who we are following. This of course is not sitting well with the Citizen Skywatch leadership.

A QUESTION OF CONTROVERSY
Sep 6 at 1:21 pm
Citizen Soldiers:
There has been a recent campaign, questioning the legitimacy of Citizen One's leadership and his motives.
Unfortunately, many members -- especially those of us in the Citizen Elite -- have been forced to remain anonymous. We know that our research makes us the targets of forces that would attempt to silence us.
I wish I could tell you more about Citizen One, but secrecy remains vital.
I assure you that he can be trusted and that his goals are what he has presented to you.
The truth of this matter will emerge in due time.
Maintain vigilance.

Citizen Thirteen on the Run |
An all points bulletin went out that Citizen Thirteen was on the run intercepting top secret information across the country. The notices on Facebook and Twitter are still readable, but the original message that was on CitizenSkywatch.com (referenced here) is missing-in-action. Luckily, someone was kind enough to save and upload the photo so that those of us who came in late can still see it.
§
EMERGENCY
ALL POINTS BULLETIN
Citizen 13 is currently on a cross country mission,
intercepting top secret information from enemy
agents. He may need to contact you. We are
currently updating registration information for all
citizen soldiers. As soon as systems are available
please ensure that all your contact information is
accurate including phone number, address, etc...
Citizen 13 may need to alert you if you are needed.
Please stand by.
Go to Facebook and Twitter for more info.

Mysterious Mines |
Washington State is a very bad place to be right now, although Oregon might be next if the southwestern trend of events continues. First it was the random ball lightning strikes, then disappearing hikers, and now mysterious mines popping up in the forests. No one knows who is digging these rectangular trenches, but it is speculated that whoever is behind it is also behind the missing hikers.

STRANGE MINES
Sep 8 at 12:27 am
UNAUTHORIZED MINING
IN STATE PARKS
WASH. - Rangers in state parks in the
southwestern part of Washington State
warn campers and hikers about an
unexpected new risk: unauthorized
mining.
In recent weeks, rangers have
discovered rectangular, quarry-like
trenches that have been dug into the
earth -- and sometimes into trees. In
some cases, these mysterious holes have
appeared seemingly overnight.
Rangers speculate that the mining
activities may be connected with a
spate of recent disapperances of solo
campers. |
Perhaps they've stumbled into the
holes, or they've run afoul of the rogue
miners responsible.
Anyone with information about
these events or the persons responsible
is urged to contact the park service
immediately. |
Citizen Soldiers:
Activity in Washington State continues -- apparently proceeding in a southwestern direction.
Citizen Soldiers in the region are advised to remain on high alert and report on any links between the unknown enemy agents glimpsed in this area and this new and troubling development.
Maintain vigilance and stand by for further orders.

Recruits were able to reverse engineer the locations of two other broadcasts (Mercury Teacup and Tomato Powderkeg) but they quickly went dark, indicating they weren't supposed to be found quite so early. However, players were able to get a transcription of Mercury Teacup before it disappered.

BIZARRE CORRESPONDENCE
Sep 9 at 6:38 pm
Dear Aunt Ethel:
Thanks for the check! The locak branch of Citizen's United finally cashed
it for me.
Odd eather lately! Wispy fog in the morning... havee to watch it
isn't fogging up the windshield. Pays to be careful -- salty air rusted
out the brake-line. Karen says hi! She joined me at the Regent yesterday
and helped me set up the dispay. Quite a thing to see, but attendance
is low due to the Friday night football games. If you visit, perhaps
you'll come with us to see one? The Valley Eagles are giving the
Bearcats a run for their money (Go, Valley!) Maybe making it to the
finals this year. Practice is the key!
I doubt that I am going to be back on the twentieth to help you with
the move. Think you can find some friends who are up for sharing the work?
I will be able to help you with repainting the inside -- just send me
your new information before I forget about it.... One of these days, I'll
remember which shade of paint you liked.
With love,
[signature]
I hope to see you soon!
P.S. Karen asked to get the recipe -- the one with the veal? She needs
it for the dinner party on the thirteenth! |
Citizen Soldiers:
We continue to receive unusual correspondence from all quarters. Much of it mystifies us, as we suspect coded messaging but have not yet cracked the key. (The attached example -- sent with a Washington State postmark -- is a recent example.)
Additionally, we continue to receive corresponding querying our true identities and purpose. At this point, we can only assure you that we have been completely honest in our discussion of our mission.
We ask that you note that our critics have remained anonymous. You need only ask who do you truly trust in this hour of crisis? Whose words ring most truly?
Maintain vigilance and stand by for further orders.

Citizen Soldiers:
We lack computational systems (e.g., Infinivac Network) at this location. Arrival of punch cards may be crucial key --- require assistance. Vital that we correlate all messages received at HQ.
Maintain vigilance and stand by for further orders.
- THIS IS CITIZEN ONE -
The punch cards keep repeating the same set of numbers over and over: 0 0100 00 10 0 1 0000 0 11 00 000 000 00 111 10 00 000 00 10 1 0000 0 10 001 11 1000 0 010 000. Using our binary/Morse decode this gives us ELINE THE MISSION IS IN THE NUMBERS, which at this point in time doesn't make much sense. There's also a number of actual punch outs on the cards. If you look back at the letter to dear Aunt Ethel, you can just make out two outlines that just happen to be in the shape of the two punch cards. If you overlay the cards onto the letter, you get a new message from Citizen 13:
Citizen spywatch isn't to be trusted are agents playing games with us? VEcatV Maybe the key I am back on the move friends are sharing informaton about One which I hope to soon! reveal thirteen
So Citizen 13 doesn't trust Citizen Spywatch, but I can't tell if he trusts Citizen One. If he's gathering information about him, then probably not. Citizen 13 also mentions VECATV again. Whatever this is, it must be important.

Disinformation Campaign |
Things are not running smoothly in Citizen Skywatchland. Someone from Spywatch took out a classified ad in a Los Angeles area newspaper hinting that they've been in touch Citizen 13 and have given him the location of the secret files of CSW. But if Citizen 13 told us via the punch cards not to trust Spywatch, then why would he accept their information? Or does he not realize that he's getting the information from a Spywatch member? After all, if Spywatch has information on the leaders of CSW, it stands to reason that they are also members of CSW and thus could be acquainted with Citizen 13. The whole thing is very confusing.

Citizen Soldiers:
Recent communications from unknown sources raise the very real possibility of disinformation tactics intended to undermine our organization's focus.
Some have you have recently shared information about mysterious phone calls that you have received from unknown phone numbers. Speculation abounds that the source of these messages may be Citizen 13. However, our office has yet to confirm evidence that he is alive.
This message was recently discovered in a Los Angeles newspaper and strongly hints at the involvement of the unknown person or persons ("Citizen SpyWatch") who have questioned the leadership of this office without clear grounds.

- CITIZEN 13 -
(213.)
tor's refusal to co-operate necessiated a disinformation campaign directed at the I.D.D. with
especial focus on its Deputy Director. As of April 1959, a whisper campaign amplified
rumors related to the project's unorthodox tactics and pursuit of unexplained phenomena.
This was abetted when the XXXXXX was able to position one of its own assets into the role of
an undercover XXXXX investigator examining the I.D.D. from within.
Reports from this deep cover asset amplified XXXXXXX concerns, effectively
undermining the position of the I.D.D. and facilitating XXXXXXXXX preferred outcome.
It is our belife that the dissolution of the I.D.D. presents minimal security risks to the
national and guarantees the continued effectiveness of disinformation XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXX protecting Agency research projects, especially in regards XXXXXXXXXX
aircraft tests, i.e. XXX and OXCART.
These covert maneuvers were necessitated by the formidable reputation of
Deputy Director XXXXXXXXXXX, whose maverick attitude and bold reputation inspires fierce
loyalty from those under his command. Despite structural flaws, the I.D.D. proved difficult
to fracture from within necessitating a "dirty tricks" style attack to undermine the reputation
of the Directorate among other governmental organizations.
The disinformation campaign appears to have been effective in its goals and dissolution of
the I.D.D. appears to be imminent.

Dear XXXXX,
Pursuant to your and Mr. XXXXX's request, an undercover
agent was inserted with the I.D.D. "Project Enemy Unknown" in
order to obtain a confidential and unbiased assessment of the
conduct of the investigation. (See attached.)
I regret to report that one of our most trusted agents has
confirmed many of the most troubling rumors regarding the
Directorate's unorthodox tactics, its disregard for
classification procedures, and its fascination with
unsubstantiated, psedu-scientific theory.
All of these problems have been exacerbated by a failure of
leadership which I have dealt with first-hand.
Deputy XXXXXXXXXXXXXX has been distracted by other duities,
leaving virtually all decisions in the hands of Deputy Director
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Formerly a low ranking XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX, the Deputy Director wields power in quixotic ways
with little respect for bureaucracy and tradition. These traits
permeate the organization and amplify existing fractures in its
ad hoc structure, pitting department against department on the
fault-lines of their departments of origin.
Based on the dismissive analysis of the Directorate's
so-called "evidence" by researches in XXXXXXXXX, and the XXXXX,
it becomes crushingly apparent that this experiment has been a
failure that should be terminated with due haste.
Sincerely yours,

SUBJECT: PROJECT ENEMY UNKNOWN
Mr. President:
Per your request to keep your office informed of major
developments, I wish to inform you of the completion of the
investigative phase known as OPERATION HERMES. Data gathered
and analyzed by the multi-agency ad hoc committee indicates
a real and hitherto unknown threat to our security.
The threat typically manifests as atmosphereic phenomena
that defy conventional explanations as well as residues and
crystalline formations resistant to chemical analysis. OFten
occurring in tandem with plasma-like lightning storms,
electrical and communications disruptions and unexplained
deaths and disapperances, these troubling phenomena appear to
be the result of military experiments, possibly suggesting
secret warfare conducted by subversive elements and/or a
foreign power.
I am aware that our findings have been discounted by rival
agencies, including the X.X.X., XXXXXXXXX, the XXXX, and the
X.X.X. However, it is our belife that these critics are
hidebound by convential thinking. There is a risk that our
findings are incomplete and/or tainted by intentional
disinformation. However, the greater risk is to refuse to act
in the face of mounting evidence.
I hearby recommend the implmentation of Phase II of
Project Enemy Unknown: OPERATION PHALANX. All able personnel
must be mobolized in an effort to not only analyze but to
counterattack this growning threat.
We appreciate your continued support of the project.

The Emerald Vanguard attendees were instructed to meet at a Boston bookstore where they retrieved an egg from an "Out of Order" chicken machine. The eggs had a Citizen Skywatch sticker and inside contained a code that directed recruits to ask for a book from a clerk. The book was titled To Conquer An Enemy Unknown and it was written by Citizen One. The book was hollowed out and inside there were more documents, photos, shredded paper and a patch. GalFriday was able to take video of some of the operation.

Washington 25, D.C.
Dear Mr. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Per our telephone converstation yeterday, your concerns have
been brought to the Attorney XXXXXX's attention.
Regretfully, given the ad-hoc nature of the Internal Defense
Directorate's formation, we do no have complete authority over
budget and resources. In this situation, X.X.X. acts in a
managerial and co-ordinational capacity. Our office does not
have the ability to compel other agencies and departments to
provide previously agreed-upon resources. However, if you
provide us with a list of the resources require and agencies
sourcing them, we will attempt to outreach to catalyze fulfillment
of your requests.
Additionally, may we suggest that your insinuations of a
conspiracy against the I.D.D. smacks of paranoia and undermines
your position. As aan ostensible division of the X.X.X., your
actions reflect on perception of the Attorney XXXXXXXX. Please
be advised that the Directorate's work is understood and
appreciated and the project's current difficulties are an
inevitable side-effect of bureaucratic overlap.
It is not necessary to correspond with us on a daily basis
regarding these matters. The Attorney XXXXXX is
extraordinarly busy at present and will respond at his
earliest convenience.

Mr. XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX urgent that
we meet with the XXXXXXXXX regarding this matter immediately.
As we both know, the XXXXXXXX has taken a personal
interest in the nature of our research. Yet in recent months
we have continually faced bureaucratic hurdles.
Key funding has been misappropriated and/or re-directed
and agencies connected to the ad-hoc committee structure have
shirked their outlined duties in regards to providing
man-power and resources.
Meanwhile, crucial personnel have been reassigned with
little advanced warning resulting in numerous difficulties as
we attempt to finalize our analysis.
The Directorate will be forced to remain in Code Black
lockdown until such time as we can determine the XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXX apparent death of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. We will
be forced to remain in Code black if these untenable
conditions persist.
Please urege the XXXXXXX to review this matter at his
earliest possible convenience. It is our belief that the
I.D.D. has achieved breakthroughs in the investigation but we
need the continued support and backing of the White House to
complete the project's aims.
It is my believe that the Directorate has been undermined
by highly exaggerated rumors related to our civilian outreach
program and our open-minded approach to unorthodox scientific
research. Contact me directly if I may answer any questions or
provide additional details on the Directorate's operational
guidelines.

Deputy Director XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:
As men formerly under my command were loyal members of the
Internal Defense Directorate, I have tracked your investigation
with keen interest. I am saddened but profoundly unsurprised
by recent events.
Like all too many enemies of the Red Menace, you have been
targeted for silence. I fear that you have been the victim
of Fifth Columnists manipulating our institutions from within.
I am now reaching out to my network of loyal contacts in
Washington to determine who is responsible for the loathsome
assault on your investigation.
I shall be pleased to introduce you to some of the staunch
patriots who have helped us carry on our lonely battle against
foreign influence. Your information about weather manipulation
is chilling -- if these atmospheric weapons do exist, I have
no doubt that the Soviets would have zero compunction about
using them.
Feel free to contact us at any time. Consider our limited
resources yours as you assemble your network of citizen soldiers.
Sincerely yours,
[Jack Cutter]

Dear Jane,
I regret that I have not been able to explain my motives
in full detail, but you will have to trust me that sending you
out of the city was absolutely necessary.
For your own safety, I must recommend that you stop
attempting to contact me, your family or anyone from our social
circle in Georgetown. This is for your own safety. Until you
hear otherwise, you should continue to use the pseudonymous
cover that has been provided to you. The only people who know
your current whereabouts and connection to me are Col. Cutter
and his inner circle. Let's keep it that way. I know you find
the Colonel a peculiar and extreme individual, but at present
he is one of the few persons upon whom I can absolutely rely.
I hope that soon enough, these present difficulties will
come to an end and we will be reunited. Until then, remain
strong.
Destroy this letter after reading.
Yours,
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In Operation Mercury Teacup, recruits were sent to 826 Valencia. There they had to find drawer 066. Inside the drawer, there were rolled up scrolls that needed to be decoded using an Atbash Cipher (ZYX becomes ABC). After decoding and telling the clerk "A man with a limp left something behind", they were given a plunger that was hollow and contained the classified evidence.

Dear Colonel:
Thank you for your inquiry into recent developments.
As you suspect, things have continued to go downhill here at
the Directorate. At present, I am literally the last man
standing (except for the cleaning crew and one file clerk...
and he's probably working for Them.)
Frankly, I shouldn't be using the letterhead for personal
correspondence but I suspect it is actually more likely to slip
through the censors and spies that they have tracking me.
As discussed, the project is in limbo. I have been
attempting to force them to make an official final
determination on the project. If I simply resign, they can
avoid devising a compelling excuse for the final shutdown and
mothball it all for lack of interest. I don't intend to give
them the satisfaction. If they think they can scare me out of
here, they've got another thing coming.
Besides, even alone, I have been able to continue the
project's research in a limited fashion. The upside of the lack
of attention is that I've managed to "liberate" some key
evidence and equipment.
I am assembling personal funds to arrange the purchase of
the fallout shelter which should provide an adequate starting
base of operations for the organization we have discussed.
Your advice regarding structural and organizational
questions have been invalable. However, I hope to soon discuss
with you an urgent matter of a personal nature. I hope you and
your organization can help me with the appropriate paperwork.
Please be in touch with me via the usual method at your
earliest convenience.
With deepest respect,
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Deputy Director

Colonel - something like this maybe?
In terms of a name, I am thinking something
about "Citizens Watching the Skies" - I know
you will have a sharper suggestion.
And please - keep this all under your hat. I am
going to need to devise a way to keep my
part in this ANONYMOUS - not only to protect
Jane but to protect our efforts from their
manipulation and intrustion.

Dear Jane:
The nurses gave me your message. Please don't
worry about me. My pride is injured more than
anything. I have not identified the men in black
suits who jumped me, but I have my suspicions.
Soon I will be tendering my resignation, reluctantly...
Soon I willl be just another Citizen. However, this
does not change our situation.
I know it will be difficult for you to understand,
but it would be best if you forget me entirely.
Do your best to dive into your new life. Pretend
that I do not exist and have never existed.
I'm afraid this is good-bye.
Yours,

Operations Tomato Powderkeg and Mercury Teacup were a success. Citizen Soliders uncovered quite a few documents regarding the start of Citzen Skywatch. It seems that two of the main players are/were the Deputy Director of the I.D.D. and a Colonel Jack Cutter of the Pro-American Anti-Red League. Are either of these individuals Citizen One?

SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF OPERATIONS
Sep 26 at 10:30 am
Citizen Soldiers:
We commend our loyal citizens in the Philadelphia and San Francisco regions for successful completion of Operation Tomato Powderkeg and Operation Mercury Teacup.
These operations resulted in the release of formerly classified documentation, linked below for your review.

The release of these records revealed some of the peculiar circumstances surrounding the closure of the government project known as PROJECT: ENEMY UNKNOWN.
We believe that these documents should satisfy the curiosity of many Citizen Soldiers regarding (a) our distrust of the government while (b) possessing detailed knowledge of some of the inner workings of clandestine operations.
It is our belief that in a government by the People, for the People it is vital that the People have access to true information in order to formulate decisions. The People cannot run their government without the facts.
With these matters behind us, we ramp up towards a heightened training program to face new threats.
Maintain vigilance and stand by for orders.

The Shredded Documents |
With the completion of all the missions, we now have enough partial reconstructions to fully recreate the original documents (minus a few words here or there). There aren't any huge bombshells in the documents, so I'm not entirely sure why they were shredded in the first place.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY General
Dear Mr. XXXXXX:
Per our recent conversation, I hereby authorize
you to form the Internal Defense Directorate to initiate
Project Enemy Unknown.
The heads of the other departments and agencies have
been briefed on the urgency of this matter and I have
ordered them to facilitate the rapid organization of
the ad hoc committee necessary to launch the investigation
phase codenamed Operation Hermes. It is my hope that we may
dispense with the ordinary bureaucratic hurdles to provide
this office with all necessary resources.
As discussed, Mr. J. Edgar Hoover is the obvious
choice to serve as the Director. However, I strongly
recommend that XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX be appointed Deputy
Director. His tough-minded assessment of this situation
has proven instrumental in clarifying the necessity of this
investigation.
[Signature]
Transmit following message via AIRTEL
TO: ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, XXXXXXXXXXX
FROM: XXX FIELD OFC / LAWRENCE,KS
RE: INTERNAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE - I.D.D.
Assigned directly by Deputy Director I.D.D. to participate
in mission -- distributing classified information to "fringe"
characters in exchange for pseudo-scientific information of
dubious value. (Contact XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is failed
science-fiction author with colorful arrest record (narcotics,
pandering, XXXXXXXXXXXX). Now experimenting with "cloudbusting"
technology and supposed "lost Tesla technology".
Machinery broken / not working but the Deputy Director has
personally telephoned us on numerous occasions, to state his
belief that the technology may have "military application."
Dep. Dir. authorized us to release classified internal reports
on weather XXXXXXXXXXXX so subject could "compare notes."
Tense relationships at I.D.D. Field Ofc. between departments,
with numerous internal disputes related to funding /
conflicting theories. Contempt for classification restrictions
in many departments. SCIENG division notorious for freely
distributing docs noted XXXXXXXXXXXX and higher to personnel
with no background clearance and/or "need to know." Constant
refrain is "rule out nothing` -- apparently regardless of basic
logic or reason. Scathing commentary on PROJECT XXXXXX, PROJECT
SIGN and PROJECT XXXX-XXXX. Agents often describe these
investigations as "white washes" and/or "cover-ups."
Wild / outlandish theories entertwined casually. Evidence of
obviously faked hoaxes (e.g. "XXXXX." style photos) filed as
legitimate evidence, as are tabloid articles regarding apparent
paranormal phenomena. Serious career officers complain about
the tenor of investigation and plot ways to escape from dept.

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
December 3rd, 19XX
Attorney XXXXXXXX
U.S. Department of XXXX
XXX Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC
Dear Sir:
Despite recent events, neither my belief in the purpose of
the Internal Defense Directorate for my dedication to Project:
Enemy Unknown has wavered. My dept continues to receive alarming
reports of unexplained weather events, electrical and radio
disturbances, unexplained disappearances and deaths -- many of
them frequently associated with sightings of shadowy, unknown
strangers behaving in suspicious and theatening ways.
These events conform to a pattern highly suggestive of a
coordinated enemy attack.
However, our efforts have been countered time and again by a
hidebound mentality that prides bureaucracy over results.
Perhaps more ominously, the Washington culture seems more
concerned with protecting "classified secrets" than it is in
discovering the truth.
If the I.D.D. is perceived to have failed in its mission,
then the fault lies in the execution -- not in the urgent need
for the mission. If the I.D.D. should cease to exist, I
desperately urge you to task some other agency with the
investigation of this ominous pattern.
Without adequate resources and with mounting obstacles, it
is impossible for me to continue. Thus I tender my immediate
resingation. I exit my dedicated service to the Department of
Justice as just another ordinary Citizen -- One who still
believes it is his patriotic duty to defend his nation by any
means necessary.
With profound regret,
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Transcript of harassing phone call. I have been receiving 2-3
week for the last month. I have recording of this one.
So what have all these documents told us? Citizen One is almost certainly the ex-Deputy Director of the I.D.D. The I.D.D. also seems to have pissed a whole bunch of people off with the way they were going about things - to the point where more powerful people were able to have it shut down after conducting a smear campaign. Unfortunately for them, they didn't seem to account for One's complete belief in the project and his willingness to see it through to the end. With help from retired Colonel Cutter of the Pro-American Anti-Red League, One was able to launch Citizen Skywatch - but not without making a personal sacrifice. He sent his girlfriend/wife/loved one Jane away for her own safety. Probably a smart move considering he has people harassing him via phone calls who know about Jane. Let's hope that they don't get their hands on her, because I would hate to see One have to make that choice.

Report from Operation Round-up | |
Unfortunately, due to "secrecy", the recap from Operation Round-up wasn't nearly as thorough as all of the previous Operations. What we do know is that recruits were given an ID card and a Recruitment kit. The kit contained a pin to identify fellow Soldiers on the street and Skywatch Field Manual detailing the responsibilites of every Citizen Soldier. Recruits were also put through several tests and shown some slides and a brief film, but sadly no descriptions of either are available.
