Where is the year this happened
The location and year the tapes went missing.
The location and year the machine went missing.
Whether or not the McDonalds was closed or not yet open.
The testing on the films for exposure degeneration
The year the flag was manufactured.
No appologee note for leaving a machine that wasn't compatible with the tapes-did I misread?

Could have at least put the flag on the top of the building. Jerks. Why is this all 'hush hush' as to the location of the find-big deal a mcdonalds?

It looks like one of those airport parking ticket dispensers only with someone's dod or airforce tag/badge sticking out of it.

1. Declaration of power supremecy AND sh*ts and giggles.
2. Read the flag on the wall. Pirates.

That plant in the foreground, to me means this is pretty regularly visited.

It's plastic.

So when's the bake sale to raise cash to fund the project to process the tapes?

What you see there is part of the fire suppression system, the tag is a certification of the system by local fire department.

Someone may have already pointed this out, but "film stock" and "footage" are two different things.

"Film stock" is the stuff awaiting exposure. To make it last in a ready state the longest, it should be refrigerated.

"Footage," i.e. exposed, processed film, does NOT require refrigeration, though cool and dry are not bad options.

This thread proves there is NO CONSPIRACY COVER UP about ANY alleged moon bases/alien on the moon folks!

If there were, NASA wouldn't 'throw away such sensitive evidence, if the conspiracy theorists claims were true, that there were/are alien bases on the far side of the moon.

Don't you think if there was a coverup NASA would be on theese guys butts in no time?

All they would ever get from these data tapes are nothing more than conformation of cratered strewn moon with no buildings on them. They are looking for a landing site. NO CONSPIRACY HERE FOLKS!

So if you think they will discover something earth shaking, then you can stop
getting your hopes up!

There are NO BASES ON THE MOON like Hoagy and other conspiracy nuts claimed.

In Australia, when McDonalds (in fact, when ALL the major chain stores) shuts down their stores, they don't completely abandon them. They put up temporary wire fencing around the property to keep thieves and vandals out. With the varying size of the blocks of land that McD's uses, the footpath could even be 100m away from the store front, and the land out back could also be abandoned. All one would need to do would be: find out the address of that McD's, go there, or use google street view to investigate.

The equipment inside the store looked BRAND NEW. I've seen alot of McD's equipment, and that has got to be the best kitchen I've ever seen. I don't think they even opened this store, to be honest. They probably built it, then decided it wasn't economically viable to staff and run it. Having a massive McD's sign in the middle of nowhere on land that you've already developed, is still a good advertisement for the company.

Given that this is ATS, I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned why the guy doing all this would have gone to NASA to restore the tapes. Do you think he even had a choice? Take your pick... NLP, sleeper agent syndrome, even direct threats by 'them', it would be pretty easy to coerce him into giving NASA full autonomy over the project. As for choosing google over NASA... do you honestly think they'd be any less dodgy? Google is not the 'beacon of the free internet' that people put it out to be.

As for "no alien bases on the moon". If they had the technology to build bases on the moon back in the 60's, who's to say they didn't have the technology to camouflage it, or build underground? NASA letting these clips go missing and someone 'finding' them, is probably just a big disinformation tactic to make us debunk our own conspiracy theories by getting us to 'prove' that there is no VISIBLE alien base on the moon.

NASA as already arrived and is about to order a couple quarter pounders with cheese and scope out the best AC connections for their airbrush machines. If there's any beef in this burger, it's already gone before it's in the bag.

Makes me want to cry.
