that image is Alex Jones, yes.

Alex Jones is not on the VHS tape, however. the image that the OP is claiming is 'Alex Jones' from the tape looks absolutely nothing like Alex Jones in '99 or any other time.

Yes, I have just read a bit deeper and can't even find a time code they are referencing. Its a very close source indeed but yeah, Alex Jones and Paul Chuckle. Sadly not on the tape....

HAMAD could've just upscaled/colorized the clip from the VHS. takes a few minutes in any video software.

the BBC doc...Fungi: The Rotten World Around Us 1983? that's the one i saw linked on Reddit...doesn't look like the same as the VHS clip based on the timestamp i saw someone mention, 51:44 -
it's fungi expanding, yes, but not the same clip that's in the VHS.

Reddit's 'ideas' are...not to be trusted. let's just say that.

I think it's the same, just in the VHS it's been rotated 180, cropped in slightly tighter and obviously sped up.

shapes of the fungi growth aren't the same. i could be wrong, but the shapes/designs/exact growth patterns i was looking for didn't seem to line up. please do crop and speed up to compare and share :)

apologies on the broken quotes here. the 3 embed limit screwed me up when quoting initially and not sure how to fix.

Incidentally, the playlist's image is similar to a clip of the sun in the VHS.

Anyway, the unique track has an image, pasted below.

It contains morse code.

This pattern reminds me of a printer alignment sheet, or something similar. The sort that is used in industrial printing or packaging systems, where you feed the alignment template to calibrate the system

I've done a crude by side comparison. Screenshot from the docu flipped to match the vhs.

At this point this is getting nothing short of maddening, people are posting their discoveries which are things that were already discovered a day or two ago, different communities discovering things at a different rate than others, we're all just running around in circles currently... I don't think there's anything further to discover here until a tape owner reveals otherwise

So are the hexagons on the tapes stickers or screen printed on? If stickers, could there be something under them?

dont have one or anything but they’re definitely applied on top of the tapes with ink (or whatever the standards are idk) cause theres a hole the hexagon white overlaps and you can see the divot

The tape is pretty boring now. It’s not really pointing at anything other than perhaps there’s something new to come. But the tape itself is of no artistic value at all. It’s uninspiring, feels rushed and without any other meaning than -

STUFF FROM THE PAST
WARBLY DEGRADED MUSIC
MISTIQUE AND ODD
Jesus

It would be fantastic if BoC released any future new music on VHs tape only. No CD’s digital or vinyl. But some shitty aged VHS tape pulled from the dustbin. That would be total dedication to their art form and interests. I think it would be quite amusing.

I believe the interesting parts that I genuinely love are the words. The hexagonal disc of sound is so cool.

What if the VHS tapes genuinely are about the Twoism reissue coming out June 12th…

Interesting find on reddit:



Strange posters marked with the same seven white hexagons as on the tapes in the lower right corner.
