Gotta love my internet access in the lovely supposed first world American south… I was literally refreshing this all day the past three days and got nothing. What. The. Hell. Oh well, it works sometimes. Looking forward to watching the episode!

So one detail I should have really mentioned is the lack of punctuation. So technically it might not have been "Protect metals" it could have been "protect, metals". Not that that makes things any clearer, but its interesting to play around with. I always assumed it was referring to the masks, but it would be weird to then mention the masks again. So I have no idea

What a fascinating enigma! And that last bit of info you dropped at the end... The 60s definitely saw a peak of interest in extraterrestrial intelligence with the dawn of SETI, the Brookings report, etc. A part of me can't help but think they may have also been the victims of a twisted prank though. I do have one question, the note states 'after effect, protect metals, await signal, mask'... what metals do you think this was refering to? As I don't believe it was refering to the masks. What else was there that went missing, what could the police have been hidding, and they just didn't have the time to perform the autopsies?? Another great episode, thank you!
