Operation Log

• An anonynous letter to agent Robert delivered by Weeden from an unknown FBI agent
  • Map coordinates pointing to Bedford, Pennsylvania
  • No fingerprints on the letter
  • The man who delivered it doesn't work for the FBI
  • The location was in the middle of woods
• When seeking lodgings on a near-by camping site we encountered professor Edgar Timothy Smith
  • He had found mention of the place in the papers of his missing grand nephew, FBI special agent Timothy Smith
• The coordinates lead us to an abandoned US Army base
  • The was was guarded by private security
• Next morning we found out that there were UFO enthusiasts from the Saucerwatch in the camping area
  • They had heard of lights in the sky in the area
  • Two of their members had gone missing
• We decided to join forces in finding the missing
• Around noon both were found
  • One was dead
  • The other was delirious
    • She had no recollection of the last day and couldn't tell what she had seen
• Return to the camping site for discussion
• Robert went to the nearest town with the body
  • He lied to the local authorities, claiming that the death was an accident
  • Autopsy revealed possible cause of death: strong electric shock to the whole body
  • One of the Saucerwatch members seemed to have wide-ranging knowledge and experience in similar operations
• Next night Richard, Robert and O'Sullivan went exploring the base
  • The trip was kept secret from the others in case they needed to hide evidence from the rest
• Robert was keeping watch with a sniper rifle while the other two infiltrated the area
  • He lost visual contact and waited for the pre-determined deadline and a half an hour more for their return
• Then Robert returned to the camp and alerted everyone there
• Next morning there was activity at the base
  • Several army trucks
  • A white tanker truck
  • A helicopter
• A close watch was kept on the base and the roads leading there
• No sign of Richard or O'Sullivan
• The base was quickly cleared and the vehicles left by noon
• Those watching the roads started shadowing the convoy
• Others went to search the base
• Richard and O'Sullivan were found in the base
  • They said they had encountered some beings of pure light, and were unharmed
  • The encounter had started an alarm and they had had to hide
  • They could not leave because the base was being evacuated
• The base was well cleared and little evidence was left
  • Some large instruments had been removed from the site
• Some of the vehicles had been successfully shadowed to an active army base
  • The others were lost
