Open Bar: Subpoenaed by Congress, but still refusing to testify

[Juana]

Is that first one loss? Bc if it is, I hate you.

So we had one of those "this is not a drill" things show up outside. I took a picture, and immediately a surfeit of skunks showed up and stopped smack middle of the road. No need to worry, this is all entirely unrelated.

I ran the signal through a bandpass filter, 1500-1900 Hz.

As an ostensible rationalist, I should note that filtering the signal necessarily imparts a certain amount of structure to it that wasn't there before (in a sense, adding information).

But, there's definitely something there.  It sounds like a pressure cooker full of banshees.

I received the answers to this weirdness tonight. They are incredibly mundane, to the point of disappointment if you had any investment in the weirdness. I'll leave it up to everyone else if they want to ride this train into crazy town or to have it just derail right now.

I'm a pessimist.  I am vindicated by disappointment.

One vote for revealing the truth.

I'm just going to baselessly, but fervently, accuse you of covering up the real Truth to protect us all from the horrible implications and irreversible consequences, but let's hear your "theory" altered.

It had something to do with the feds recharging the batteries on the geese, right?

Life is short, hard and ultimately disappointing. Like a bodybuilding elf. Lay it on me.

It's just 5G.

The sights and sounds you're experiencing are just symptoms of oxygen deprivation.

[Cramulus]

Altered, we've already figured out that the Greys are paying you 200k/year to keep your mouth shut, so go ahead and hit us with whatever lie they are making you say

Hey!  Uncle Joey may have had his faults, but he was the best chimney-sweep you'd ever hire.  When sober, anyway.

Well, it's unanimous then.

First: the droning, whistling sound is a particular kind of singing frog. There are apparently hundreds down at the pond, which is why the pauses are so rare, and they move around and change volume and pitch as different frogs come closer while singing.

The white lights were LED solar lamps placed by the people I am staying with just before dark the other day. Why they decided to put a bunch of lights in the trees is beyond me, I don't get it, but they did it and they seemed very proud.

The orange light is the only one that's even surprising: there's a guy who lives in a red tent out in the woods. He's not homeless, he's one of those "live the wilderness" sort of people, and he's out there now simply because it's warm enough. And he has a big lantern that stays in the tent with him.

Sorry.

Well there is my horror of unknowable things beyond our imagination, cruelly stolen away

I think singing frogs are terrifying.

Pshaw, simply put. We have been investigating the phenomenon for some time and have expended considerable resources in order to positively identify the events in question. The results we obtained conclude that the orange light is actually not derived from a single source but is in fact the combined effect of at least three vertically stacked electromagnetic emitters. Our working hypothesis is that the "object" is some kind of an ultra-dimensional semaphore. Seen here last night:
