Case File: John Diefenbach
What we know. What we suspect. What remains unknown.
Subject Profile
- Name:
- John Diefenbach
- Location:
- Off-grid cabin, Eastern Tennessee
- Status:
- Active
- Years Off-Grid:
- ~3
Background
UnverifiedJohn Diefenbach moved off-grid approximately three years ago. Prior occupation and reasons for leaving remain undisclosed. References to "running before" suggest this isn't his first attempt at isolation.
Demonstrates technical proficiency with radio equipment, signal analysis, and basic electronics. Knowledge suggests either professional background or dedicated self-education.
Maintains contact with outside world through supply runs to a store operated by "Earl"—the only named contact in documented files. Relationship with Earl appears complex; mutual wariness indicated.
Known Habits
Coffee consumption
Canned, black. Described as essential. Mentioned in majority of case files.
Radio monitoring
Regular shortwave scanning, particularly during early morning hours (2-4 AM).
Documentation
Meticulous note-taking. Maps, recordings, timestamps. Evidence-focused methodology.
Pattern observation
Tracks recurring numbers, intervals, and synchronicities. Particular attention to the number 47.
Supply runs
Bi-weekly visits to Earl's store. Same route until recent anomaly detection.
Recurring Motifs
Elements that appear repeatedly across case files:
The number 47
47-second intervals, 47 supply runs, 0.47 MHz frequency
Assessment: Unknown. Appears too frequently for coincidence.
Bad signal
Opening phrase in multiple posts. Shortwave interference.
Assessment: May indicate proximity to phenomenon or time sensitivity.
Triangular geometry
Crow formations, anomaly mapping, coffee ground patterns
Assessment: Possibly indicates surveying or array configuration.
"Ecological surveys"
Road closures, land restrictions, Earl's knowledge
Assessment: Suspected government cover story. Pattern across multiple locations.
2:17 AM
Hum onset, signal appearances, camera triggers
Assessment: Specific operational window. Deliberate timing.
Open Questions
- ?Who is "we" in the photograph message?
- ?What is at the center of the hexagonal grid?
- ?What does Earl know?
- ?Why was John chosen to receive coordinates?
- ?What technology operates at 0.47 MHz with that power signature?
- ?What changed in these woods three years ago?
