GPS Coordinates Reveal Dead Drop From Howard


Using the GPS coordinates found in the hidden trailer images, Reddit user MugensKeeper made his way out to the location and found something there!
I found a case!!!!! Filled with survival gear, messages, puzzle piece, and a USB!!!!
The exact spot was marked with an empty Swamp Pop satsuma fizz bottle on a small mound of fresh dirt.

The message, apparently from Howard, says:
Listen to these and you'll see what I'm talking about. It's almost right on top of us.

You'll need a whole lot more than this kit if you're gonna have a chance to make it to the other side.

Good luck to us all, friend.

MugensKeeper will be uploading the contents of the USB drive soon, so keep checking back!

BTW, Congrats to MugensKeeper for being the one to find this. He had driven around to various GPS coordinates before we found all the numbers, so I'm glad all his hard work paid off!

UPDATE: Here is a more in-depth video of the contents of the ammo box. After a closer look, it appears that there are two USB drives in the box, and puzzle pieces from the Cat Fish puzzle seen in the trailer.

UPDATE 2: Here are two videos(!?!) of the audio files being played on an old computer.


I'll create a new post when the actual files are uploaded. but this will give you an idea of what is on there...

  3. Bad Robot should reward that guy. I mean if he wasn't so adventurous the ARG may have been in trouble.

    1. I would take a ammo box full of Howard's survival gear as a reward any day!

  4. The guy thinks he found another USB hidden in the Swiss Army knife.

    1. In a way he was, but he's more like the unwitting audience member randomly called upon by the showrunner. If he would not have done it, somebody else would've. Of course we don't know if another person would have been as cooperative and cool about sharing everything as thoroughly as he did, so props to the guy.

      It's really ingenious of Bad Robot/JJ Abrams to let the fans create the hand-held footage this time around and put it on YouTube for everyone to watch. It gives it a layer of actual authenticity, even if it's just part of the ARG and not the final movie.

    Guys... what if there are more kits? Maybe we should re-arrange the coordinate numbers and see what we can find.

  8. I was thinking the same thing, it just seems odd that the Swamp Pop soda bottle was conveniently there. Who knows how long this has been there, you're gonna tell me someone didn't walk by that and throw it away, not thinking twice....interesting. Anyway, still super cool.

    1. the_stoned_ape over at Reddit sent an email to Edgebrook Farms which is located near the GPS coordinates.

      According to their response they saw someone digging in the middle of the night a few nights ago and shooed them off.

      Here's the original email and response.

      Original E-Mail - Subject Wondering if you all had a movie film near your property or were contacted in regards to a movie called Valencia/10 Cloverfield Lane. Message Hello I was contacting you in regards to the viral marketing regarding the movie 10 Cloverfield Lane (codename- Valencia) which was filmed around your area in Nov-Dec of 2014 and is releasing on March 11th of this year. In the marketing trailers they hid images which all had numbers, when combined these numbers create the exact co-ordinates for your property. I thought I would give you all a heads up and ask if you had any info. I do not want you all to be worried if you see strange cars around Pellegrin Rd. as it's probably related to this movie. If you have any further info please let me know at The_Stoned_Ape.

      Response - I don't know anything about the movie, but we did see a strange man digging on our property in the middle of the night a few nights ago and we shooed him off.

  9. I did an analysis of the the super bowl trailer (I should have recorded it but I never thought to, sorry) and deduced that the thing we see at the end is certainly not Clover. Whatever it was, it was emitting its own light. If you slow down and look closely, you can see it generating particles of light that gravitate towards it. I double-checked to make sure it wasn't just snow. It's definitely new. I'm guessing, based on the involvement of the SEASAT program, that they found a deep sea spacecraft (more likely than not extraterrestrial in nature) and... Well, a lot of things could have happened. Maybe it's a drone. Maybe the aliens that crashed it on the bottom of the sea left it there and also put the Clover there. I dunno. Maybe it's not a machine at all, maybe the. Clover is radioactive now after being nuked. The nectar fused with radioactive isotopes beefed it up.

  11. Could the crosshatching on the MRE boxes be a stereogram?

  12. By the way not to toot the horn but Goddard and Reeves now executive producers on the film. VALENCIA may have been the biggest Easter Egg of all. Ow about that intitled movie next yr with Reeves Abrams and Burk wirh Brad Campbell producing. Wanna bet on what that movie is.

  13. Guys can someone explain what they are sayin in the USB files?
    I dont understand everything :(

  14. I tried searching for Procedure 2380A and found there are some who have transcribed the transmission. Looks like 2380A relates to maybe deleting information or any evidence of anything taking place.
    Seems this piece of recording could be potentially dangerous, as procedural, it shouldn't exist.

  15. Seems AMUS is really AMOS, which is a satellite communication company. http://www.amos-spacecom.com/ Is this real, or maybe for the ARG? Gonna do some digging.

  16. ITs seems contact was lost with AMOS 2 in November of last year. A few months ago, which is the satellite referenced in the audio.

  17. Something a bit interesting about Sun Outages causing electromagnetic disturbances and damaging communication. (I have too much free time today)
