Good guess. Maybe not a location per se, but a phrase.

There are 22 redwhite&blue thrift store locations spread across 10 states. Michigan is the one I'm closest to.

Morse code can be heard starting around the 13s mark and then ends almost at the 18s mark of this video. Was that ever decoded?

Thanks for trying. Hate talking on the phone. Start stuttering, forget my own name! I guess lips are sealed, as it were, if they really don't know. It's a 16hr drive from here to there. Just need 3 days. Though it may lead to nothing, be a nice drive.

In the Seek video, to which the gps coordinates were given for this thrift store, there's an inclusion at the 28/29s mark of an amusement park ride. Seems odd, or telling, in relation to the rest of the video. Does anyone recognize where that's from?

After 2 days, I finally know what the morse says:

"sea birds"

Oh wow! How'd you figure that out? Wonder what the significance of seabirds are to BoC. In the Eleven missing tracks video at the beginning of the beach scene you can see a black-headed seagull. In Happy Cycling you can hear one. Also a seagull in the Invocation video. Seeburdz tumblr page. Only they would know I suppose. Thanks oakmoss&amber.

To be honest, I spent much more time on this than I'd like to admit :roll:

I converted the video to mp3 and ran it through a morse code translator numerous times. I tried looking at the waveform but didn't see anything that stood out. Then again, I am by no means a professional when it comes to that so there may or may not be artifacts. I kept getting "SEE" non-stop and thought to myself, "Watch this be seeburdz or seabirds." I had no luck so turned to Reddit. It only took 36 hours for someone to finally respond.

Seeburdz Tumblr and the track with the surfing montage on it in Eleven Missing Tracks seem to be what this was nodding at. "G F = 7 6" having the seagulls at the beginning of the video and that being a prominent theme as well connects it even more. *scratches head*

dbz-22819 = 4226-VHS (not sure if this was mentioned)

All so curious isn't it? We certainly are riding the wave. As I think more about this, it seems BoC are posing a question, rather than providing an answer, though the clues are there, if you can solve them. The medium is the message perhaps. It is the year of 6. When you add the sum of 2022. Take my hand. Just thinking out loud.

Out of curiosity, what makes you so sure this is BoC at work?

Good question. Let me answer!
It's BoC because it is BoC. Listening to it, it just has to be early versions of stuff that fans have always wanted.

Now, I don't know Saturn Ascending too well, so I'll admit I want to think they are in on something, but I prefer to KNOW it's BoC.

Has there ever been a fake that sounded this much like it could be them?

Even the audio artifacts sound legitimate. There are melodic changes between the VHS tape and the version we've all heard on previously acknowledged old tunes. It sounds like works in progress.

What are you getting at Fredd-E? Thinking maybe Saturn knows something?

Suspend disbelief for a moment, and other's doubts that can influence you, and hear the music. What does your heart tell you? It comes down to a matter of personal belief. Thus BoC's question. Do you believe it is us? Are they here now watching these forums? Certainly! Ride the wave of uncertainty and doubt and finally come to a conclusion. The spirit of BoC is to think for one's self and be free.

RIght on, man!
That's the perfect way to describe why those of us who believe, believe!

Also, some of those tunes are just spot on. If it's not BoC, then someone needs to give us more! If it is, cool cool.

I’ve been renovating a house for the last few mnths and I still listen to the music every day. It’s great. There’s so much detail to the tracks, submerged voices, morse code. I’m still convinced it’s BOC.

Did anyone figure out whatever numerical code is hidden in the following paragraph:

5  MCMXIX  the selene spacecraft launches. jaxa has called the mission, quote the largest lunar mission since the Apollo program.quote. when I turned twenty years old, I was two years older than my brother. One day, I saw the band 311 play live.

Just ran it through an online cipher, if you don’t include the 2 (A=1) it gives you “TRACK”

Also, maybe that tracklist doesn’t point to it being fake. These could be the original working titles for the tracks included? Just a thought…
