New Message On FAPT - Spy Satellites

The FunAndPrettyThings.com (FAPT) chat has been updated with a new message from Howard. 

In this latest update, Howard reveals that he used work with spy satellites. He and his team discovered something "up there" (which could mean "in space", or "from space"...), and now the government is trying to cover it up. He doesn't reveal what he found, but he thinks that the recent launch of a new U.S. military satellite may mean the government is getting ready to do something about whatever it was that he found.

Howard mentions that he worked on Seasat, a real satellite program that was designed to monitor the oceans (not "up there"). Conspiracy theorists think that the military shut down Seasat when they discovered it could also be used to track submarines, using a short circuit as a covering story.

He also mentions that his mentor was accused of spying and sent to jail for 365 years. There was a real life Navy Radioman named Jerry Whitworth, a member of the Walker Spy Ring, who was sentenced to 365 years for selling secret information to the Soviets.

Here is the full text of Howard's chat:
DEAR MEGAN,

NO ANSWER YET, MEGAN? I UNDERSTAND. YOU’VE BEEN LISTENING TO YOUR MOTHER. SHE’S BEEN POISONING YOU AGAINST ME, RIGHT? THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS YOU DON’T KNOW. SO LET ME TELL YOU SOME OF THEM AND MAYBE YOULL SEE I KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.

A WIFE SHOULD BELIEVE HER HUSBAND, NOT UNDERCUT HIM. BUT NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRIED TO SHARE THE TRUTH WITH HER, YOUR MOTHER NEVER TOOK ME SERIOUSLY. YOU’RE OLD ENOUGH NOW TO KNOW THE TRUTH. I WAS WORKING WITH VERY SECRET AND HIGHLY CLASSIFIED SPY SATELLITES. I HAD CLEARANCE. AND I SAW THINGS. THINGS YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE. THINGS FEW PEOPLE WOULD BELIEVE.

THERE WAS THIS MISSION CALLED SEASAT. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TRACKING SOVIET SPY SATELLITES BUT WHAT WE FOUND UP THERE WAS MUCH MUCH BIGGER. SO THEY CANCELLED THE PROJETC AND MADE UP A STORY TO EXPLAIN WHY. BUT ONE GUY I SERVED WITH, HE UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT WE WERE SEEING. HE WAS KIND OF A MENTOR FOR ME AND THE FEW OTHERS WHO DIDN’T WANT TO LET IT GO. SO WE BEGAN COMPILING ALL OF THIS EVIDENCE. AND ONCE WE STARTED LOOKING FOR IT, WE SAW THE SIGNS EVERYWHERE. WE ASSEMBLD SO MUCH EVIDENCE AND TRIED TO GET THE COMMANDERS TO LISTEN. BUT THEY DIDN’T WANT TO HEAR ANY OF IT. THEY SHUT US DOWN. AND THEY ACCUSED MY MENTOR OF SPYING FOR THE SOVIETS. THEY SENT HIM TO JAIL FOR 365 YEARS AND THEY MADE IT CLEAR THAT THEY WOULDNOT HESITATE TO DO THE SAME TO ME IF I DIDN’T STOP ASKIGN QUESTIONS THEY DIDN’T WANT TO ANSWER. I LEFT THE NAVY NOT TOO LONG AFTER THAT. BUT I NEVER STOPPED LOOKING.

I KNOW LITTLE GIRLS PROBABLY CARE MORE ABOUT HORSEBACK RIDING THAN FOLLOWING THE NEWS. SO I’M GUESSING YOU DIDN’T SEE THEY LAUNCHED A NEW SPY SATELLITE INTO ORBIT A FEW DAYS AGO:
HTTP://WWW.SPACE.COM/31888-US-SPY-SATELLITE-DAZZLING-LAUNCH-NROL45.HTML
ONE THING MY SEASAT EXPERIENCE TAUGHT ME WAS HOW TO RECOGNIZE A COVER STORY. THEY’VE USED A CLASSIC ONE HERE. VAGUE MENTIONS OF “NATIONAL SECURITY” AND “CLASSIFIED MISSION DETAILS”? I NEED YOU TO BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU THAT WHEN A NEW SATELLITE LIKE THAT GETS LAUNCHED, IT’S BECAUSE THEY KNOW SOMETHING. SOMETHING THAT THEY NEED THEIR EYES ON. SOMETHING THAT THEY DON’T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO KNOW ABOUT. AND IF THE TOP BRASS IS FINALLY READY TO DEAL WITH IT, THAT MEANS THERE’S NOT MUCH TIME LEFT FOR US.

IF YOU WERE HERE, I COULD SHOW YOU MORE. WHEN ARE YOU COMING?

LOVE,

DAD

  1. Sorry for the essay here y'all... Anyone fancy a guess as to the purpose of the "typos"? I'm sure this has been discussed more in depth somewhere, by someone with more knowledge/experience than myself...but this message seems to contain more than previous ones. Sounds almost too easy to consider them strung together (in order, or not) to form a message/warning/etc? Also, I've been seriously pondering the chance of a deeper meaning (besides the clear and eerie link to hostage-type situations) behind the "I think we're alone now" song choice (made most famous by recording artist 'Tiffany' (1987)...originally written by Ritchie Cordell (1967)...not sure if any significance there)...I saw a post (forget where) briefly addressing the song choice. In my humble opinion, if we take into account/belief the clover as a "wild infant searching for his parents/kin" story, coupled with JJ's all-too-coincidental "blood-relative" statement, the chosen song verses for the one trailer almost sound akin to a haunting lullaby sung by Clover's mother after they both wreak their havoc on the eastern seaboard/US/world and finally feel they are 'alone' and at peace? Simply food for thought...newcomer to this site...be gentle!

    1. I obviously know nothing but my gut tells me that Howard is the type of guy who types in a panic and hits send without running a spell check.

      He's probably intelligent enough to avoid spelling errors if he applied himself but he's probably preoccupied with things that he considers to be more important (reuniting with Megan, surviving, etc.) Maybe he's too worried about time to bother.

      More than anything it might just be an attempt on the game runners part to make a statement about his character. Perhaps that he's kinda frazzled/on edge/preoccupied/not firing on all cylinders.

      But I'm sure it wouldn't be a bad idea to gather all the misspelled letters and see if it leads to something.

    2. "I Think We're Alone Now" was made famous (#4 on the charts) in 1967 by Tommy James and the Shondells. The next year they released a little number called "Crimson and Clover." And I hope that's a coincidence, because if J.J. went to all that trouble for a '60s music reference, I'll think less of him. :)

  2. As a near-chicago resident, seriously secretly hoping for some on-screen reference to the chicago bunker! (Aside warning!): If any of you awesome people have seen Gravity, Sandra Bullock's character hails from a small town in Illinois called Lake Zurich, which happens to be my born and raised town going on 30 years now, and while we won't ever be able to top that 30 seconds to 1 minute of glorious (to us) dialogue between her and Clooney, I do hope for some Chicago-area lore to be worked in to the Field of Clovers universe! Betcha can't drink just "10"!!!

  3. Jist am aside reddit is going crazy mis reading Howards statement. SEASAT was used and intended to be used to read Ocean things on Earth not alien space stuff lmao. Obviously when Howard mentions we found something bigger up there he meant back on earth in the ocean. After seeing this whole thing yesterday i am.now more convinced this is gonna be a two parter. Maybe im wrong but I keep thinking about that Abrams Burk Reeves movie next yr

    1. The wording of his statement is a little confusing, but I agree with you - when he says "what we found up there" I think he means "what we found with the satellite"

  4. So it was one of these Seasat satellites that fell our of the sky at the end of the first movie perhaps?

  8. I think Howard in his letters is smarter than we think. I've been going through some of them looking for patterns or code. There are many different types of codes Howard might use in a written note, the misspelling may be a code when taking the misspelt letters of the letter and writing down the proper letters on a page to get a message within a message. Or the Sebald code, where every fifth word in the note is part of the secret message, the code usually starts and ends with a ringing noise in italics. Having a.d.d its hard for me to find these codes so if someone with a better eye wants to try that would be cool to see if anything came out of it.

  9. I know this is going waaaay back and probably not close to the truth BUT what if this huge thing they were gathering evidence on and what the government's covering up is the Clover nest from the Kishin manga?? As we saw it is huge so it would probably be visible from space satellites. Howard might be talking about something completely different but it would make a little sense!
