The Cadence of Silence: Unraveling the Patterns of the Dead Zones

In the world of anomalies and patterns, there's something eerily compelling about the absence of something rather than its presence. I'm talking about the Dead Zones—areas where electronics falter and communications cease. My interest isn't new, but a recent pattern has emerged that demands a closer look.

Initial Observation: It began with an offhand observation on a routine check around Mile Marker 17—my equipment flickered and died, a common enough occurrence in these areas, but this time, it was precisely at 17:17 military time. Coincidence has a pattern if you look long enough, and this was too precise to ignore.

Evidence Gathering: For the next several weeks, I monitored similar Dead Zone pockets, not just near Mile Marker 17 but across various known locations. I logged times, coordinates, and the duration of electronic failures. My notebooks filled with instances, but one pattern stood out—the events often occurred at times involving the number 17, or in durations that were multiples of 17 minutes.

Pattern Analysis: Overlaying these incidents on a timeline, a pattern emerged like the peaks and valleys of a disturbingly regular waveform. The occurrences not only involved the number 17 but also seemed to peak around the new and full moon. This lunar connection could be dismissed as coincidence by the skeptical, but in the realm of patterns, it's a thread that begs pulling.

Preliminary Conclusions: The Dead Zones are not random. They exhibit a cadence, possibly influenced by lunar phases, and marked by the recurring number 17. This leads me to ponder the natural vs. man-made nature of these areas. Are they the result of some unknown environmental factor, or could they be engineered dead spaces, designed to operate on a schedule we're only beginning to uncover?

Questions for the Community: 1. Have you experienced electronic failures or other oddities that might fit into this pattern of Dead Zones, especially involving the number 17? 2. Could there be a link between lunar phases and these areas of silence, beyond mere coincidence?

As always, document everything. The numbers don't lie, but they don't always tell the whole truth either. Stay vigilant.
