| Geiger Counter |
19/5/1976 |
Geiger counter was placed within RPC-273's area of effect, the spikes in radiation were recorded. |
Spikes in radiation appear to be Morse code, after translation the following message was found: -ere is potential further nuclear attacks. This message will repeat. <pause> Attention this is an official warning by the United States Government, a nuclear blast has been detected in the area, we are at a state of war. Please remain calm, if you have training for such an event report to a local triage center. If you are not trained for such an event seek the nearest nuclear bomb shelter immediately. At this time The United States Strategic Air Command has launched bombers toward the Soviet Union, and there is po- |
This appears to be a looping warning message, probably nonstandard based on the language used. |
| Photographic Film |
19/5/1976 |
Photographic Film was placed within RPC-273's area of effect then removed and processed. |
Image produced appears to be a destroyed cityscape similar to pictures taken of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after they were destroyed. Visible is what appears to be the remains of the Sears tower. |
This test will be repeated to see if other images can be attained. |
| Photographic Film |
19/5/1976 |
Photographic Film was placed within RPC-273's area of effect then removed and processed. |
Image produced appears to be a destroyed cityscape, analysis shows the rubble to appear to have been from the Kremlin. |
Suspending Photographic Film tests until more is known, we have more important things to test. |
| HAM Radio |
19/5/1976 |
Radio placed within RPC-273's area of effect, the audio was recorded and analyzed. |
Static, analysis shows no anomalous transmissions. |
This test was conducted after the United States Strategic Air Command explicitly mentioned radio interference, as such this effect is surprising. Will attempt with a "correct" radio. |
| Cockpit Radio from an F106A Interceptor |
21/5/1976 |
Radio placed within RPC-273's area of effect, an audio recording was made and analyzed. |
An unencrypted message was broadcast from the radio, its transcription reads as follows. "Greetings Pilots, this is General Russell Elliott Dougherty of the United States Strategic Air Command. At this time Volk Field Air National Guard Base is on high alert, enemy nuclear bombers have been spotted nearby and appear to be en route to Chicago. Interceptors are clear to fire any weapons to stop these bombers, including air to air nuclear ordinance. God save us all. This is General Dougherty signing off" |
Following discussion with relevant researchers, it is now suspected that RPC-273 is a link to an alternate timeline. This message is assumed to have been received several days late, as the information present should predate the launching of any nuclear weapons. Initial tests concluded, nuclear trigger deactivated. |
| Audio Cassette Tape |
24/5/1976 |
Tape was placed within RPC-273's area of effect for 6 hours and removed. |
Numerous sirens can be heard for the first 3 hours of the tape, these sirens stop within several minutes of each other. The next two hours are mostly silent with occasional rustling and metallic squeaks. The last hour of tape contains audio of Geiger counters, breathing through a gas mask, and an unknown sound that at this time is suspected to be the sealing of hermetic doors. |
Ticking of Geiger counters was not found to contain a message. Concerns that the removal of the trigger have fortunately been shown to be misplaced. |
| Audio Cassette Tape |
15/5/1977 |
Tape was placed within RPC-273's area of effect for 4 hours and removed. |
Geiger counter ticking heard for first 2 hours- translates to repeating Morse code. The transcribed message is as follows: "Hospital scavengers successful STOP - Air filters and medicine located STOP- Vice president condition worsening despite help STOP- Iodide supplies low STOP." No recorded audio present for roughly one hour. The last hour contains audio of unknown significance including running water, metallic groans, heavy breathing, the sound of a pen on paper, and a round being loaded into the chamber of a pistol. |
Basic timeline has been established and will be updated as needed. |
| Photographic Film |
16/5/1977 |
8 pieces of photographic film were placed within RPC-273's area of effect then removed and processed. |
Photographs 1,2,4, and 7 all present pictures of badly damaged cities that appear uninhabited, no landmarks visible for geographic reference. Photograph 3 shows a tattered Soviet flag over a small cluster of buildings, a dismantled cargo plane is visible in the background, image reference shows this location to be in the Ural mountains. Photograph 5 has the image of the Greenbriar hotel with a large American flag draped over the door. People in older style radiation suits can be seen exiting the hotel holding rifles, one of the suits is noted to have a large OESA seal on the back. Photograph 6 shows a nondescript Midwestern house. American military vehicles are abundant in the surrounding field although no human presence can be noted, A crudely painted nuclear symbol is present on the house. Photograph 8 is far more grainy than the others but the interior of a bunker with 6 adults and 2 children can be seen. No identifying information present. |
Information gleaned from this test noted to be less informative than previous tests, more audio tests will be conducted. Survival of OESA noted. |
| Audio Cassette Tape |
26/11/1979 |
Tape was placed within RPC-273's area of effect for 4 hours and removed. |
The first hour of audio is the sound of a large diesel engine starting, running, and abruptly stopping, the significance is unknown. Largely unintelligible radio chatter begins roughly half an hour later and continues for an hour and a half, the words "treaty, iodide, bunker, trade, link, riots, border, radiation, winter, peace" and the phrases "- Nautilus - returned" "Gifts - God" are all heard, but due to numerous interfering messages and heavy static no more is audible. The rest of the recording with the exception of the last seven minutes is made up of static. In the final seven minutes the phrases “Lord, open the eyes of these men so they can see. Then the Lord opened their eyes", and "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord" are clearly audible. |
Timeline updated. Nautilus in message assumed to be the USS Nautilus. GOI known as the Union assumed to still be active. |
| Audio Cassette Tape |
19/4/1983 |
Tape was placed within RPC-273's area of effect for 4 hours, and removed. |
For the first 3 hours, a repeating Morse code message heard. Beeps and Geiger counter ticks both used. Transcribed message follows. "Fellow Americans, the United States Senate is pleased to announce that the last non-urban and nonmilitary sites of this great nation are now safe to live in. Efforts are currently underway for the first election in years. At this time we welcome all Americans to come to the great reunification ceremony in our new capital, Boise, Greater Montana." An abrupt cut is heard and in the last hour of the audio outdated Site-009 identification credentials are heard, followed by similarly outdated credentials corresponding to Site-002, no other credentials submitted. |
Timeline updated. Site-009 and Site-002 assumed to be the last remaining authority sites still active. |
| VHS Tape |
19/5/1986 |
Tape placed within RPC-273's area of effect, audio was recorded and analyzed. |
Tape contains black and white footage of men in NBC suits spraying an unknown chemical on a blasted out building, architecture of the building appears to be American. US army logo fades over screen after 15 seconds along with text reading "Our boys hard at work to make the cities habitable." No audio present. Film is grainy, location of filming is unknown. |
10 year test shows significant steps toward re-civilization. |
| VHS Tape |
17/1/1992 |
Tape was placed within RPC-273's area of effect for 4 hours, and removed. |
Tape contains grainy color footage of 3 men in suits signing a document, before holding it up. Clapping is audible from an unseen audience. RPC-██ and RPC-██ are both visible in the foreground of the shot. An early version of the RPC Authority "Trimangle" emblem can be seen on a flag in the back of the room next to an American flag with 48 black stars and a 13 stripe Gadsden flag featuring the snake wrapped around a cross. There is a moment of static before the video cuts to footage of a US soldier and RPC MST member shaking hands before ripping off the identifying patches on their uniforms and grabbing new ones from a box. New patch not visible in video, audio is garbled. Video cuts again to a still image of a propaganda poster depicting a US soldier and RPC MST member spraying a gray and red landscape with an unknown chemical leaving a fruit orchard and green grass behind them. |
GOIs known as the Union and OESA confirmed to have survived. Chemical from poster and previously seen video now assumed to be anomalous. |
| Photographic Film |
17/1/1992 |
3 pieces of photographic film were placed within RPC-273's area of effect then removed and processed. |
Photographs are of considerably better quality than images from previous tests. Photograph 1 shows a badly damaged city from an aerial view, identified as Munich, with what appears to be several decontamination and construction crews. A single tank of the unknown chemical is visible. Photograph 2 displays uniformed soldiers at attention in front of a modified flag of the Soviet Union. Soviet flag noted to have a black star, hammer, and sickle instead of gold. City in photograph matched to Tula, and appears largely undamaged or rebuilt. Photograph 3 is an aerial photograph of Site-██, the site appears heavily damaged, MST operatives and American heavy tanks can be seen converging on the north wing and appear to be engaging an unknown force of anomalous nature. Photograph 4 also noted to be the highest quality of those tested thus far. |
Timeline updated, many details still noted as missing. Use of presumed anomalous chemicals in multiple nations also noted. |
