    Oh wow, was I actually on the right track with the "note sounds"?
    I forgot my notes after quitting piano, so my pitch correction was off.

    Is one of our team mates actually a Trepidoid?

    That was great problem solving guys!

    I got too involved with the location finding to work on the tones, though people had mentioned it from the beginning...

    In the interest of full disclosure, I'm in this for the thrill of the hunt, so in the remote possibility I find something :eek:, I will ask for a vote on who to PM either clue or code...

    I want to support ezone. (I've actually asked them to take me off of a Promo Code contest because I liked Crazy Snowboard so much...)

    Now, I'll work on the location stuff, but I noticed in the first three seconds there are some quick tones (10-12)

    I've tried Morse code on it, but there are some different ways:

    This is what I hear:

    ---.-.-...-.

    This is what I've tried...

    OETETSN :confused:

    One other possibility I see is with collecting the letters from the announcers misspellings.. (determininism?)

    That is the smell of my brain burning...

    Determinism is an actual word though.
    Alienish is the one that isn't a word.

    I really doubt the morse code though, it goes by way too quickly to have significance..

    The alien takes 14 strides, if that helps.

    AlienISH

    DetermiNInism (extra NI) :confused:

    And maybe some things are mispronounced...

    As for the morse code, you're probably right, but have you seen real HAMs or sailors do morse code:eek:...

    Ahh, didn't notice the extra NI in that word. :D
    Yeah, actual morse code is insane. I really have no idea how to listen to it at that speed though.

    Appears to be 804 Howard St. (Moscone Center West Entrance).

    This appears to be the corner of Howard and 4th St. Can anybody verify?

    BTW, posting to ensure I keep people away from the wrong lead, as I appear to be the guy catching the red herrings now...

    This is the script, as I can gather... words in parentheses are the misspelt ones...


    This just in at TREP 4 News...

    This compelling video footage was captured by surveillance camera in downtown San Francisco.

    It appears to be showing a strange alien type creature walking down the middle of the street. Hoax? What do you think Judy?

    Well Bob, the figure does appear to have a very (alienish) appearance...

    Alienish? Is that even a word? Ha Ha Ha Ha

    Well Bob it could be a Science Fiction fan on route to a convention.

    Well, wherever it's going it seems to be enjoying great (determininism).

    Determininism? Is That a word?

    Ha Ha Ha

    We are yet to receive any statement from the authorities...

    Coming up next, Are Computer Games Destroying Our Brains?

    I couldn't gather any information from the script. (And the other person's name is Jimmy, not Judy :))
    Maybe the number of "Ha's" counts for something?

    I tried: GGACGDOB, GGINACGDOB and many combinations of.
    The ACGDOB is from 'Are Computer Games Destroying Our Brains?' The IN is from Determininism.

    No luck. I am at work, I can't keep watching the video for clues. AUGH.

    So like, is there any way to get a better resolution off a youtube video besides maximuzing the screen and straining your eyes on it?
