Exactly, hence their Easter resurrection.

Beautiful sync up with three world events.
The video teases religious iconography and resurrection, on the last day of the Easter holidays, a parallel with Jesus Christ rising again, just like Boards of Canada making a comeback. This was also the date of Pioneer 11's launch 53 years ago, and with the space theme, Artemis II's Moon Loop project has officially taken humans the furthest they've ever gone into space, on the date of people receiving these VHS's.

Wonderful work fellas.

Something with the "call now" at the end and what appears to be an RTL/SDR signal?
Out and about.

I think some of our users owe Fred an apology.

The ripped video/imagery is so evocative. I'm slightly hesitant until we get an official announcement, but I want to believe this is happening.

Does anyone know what part of the audio the numbers/letters that look like "P 1 3 2" appear at?

I've seen screenshots, but no time stamps.

Which would be peculiar since the ARG thing is something quite unusual in their long career. I was expecting a more straightforward announcement for LP5 but I guess I was wrong. Excited to see where this is going, I just hope it doesn't go on for too long.

This guy is interesting:

"That looks like a stylized version of the Chi Rho (☧) symbol.

It’s an early Christian symbol made from the first two letters of “Christ” in Greek:

Chi (X)
Rho (P)

Often you’ll also see it combined with Alpha (Α) and Omega (Ω) (the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet), representing “the beginning and the end.”

This symbol dates back to the time of the Roman Empire and is strongly associated with Emperor Constantine, who reportedly used it on military standards after converting to Christianity."

I missed something, but where does this come from?

I think it would be odd if they do another ARG like they did for Tomorrow's Harvest. The VHS stuff might be more like a teaser than anything else. The RSD stuff in 2013 was very digestible. We had at least a few records and codes within the first like 48 hours. Not seeing that with these VHS tapes. But I won't stop anyone from looking too deep into spectrograms or shortwave radio codes or whatever :)

I've started monitoring nobody-home.com
I strongly believe this website will host interesting stuff at some point, just like cosecha-transmisiones did
The whois updates dates for both sites match as they were both renewed in March 2025, which is when the Instagram likes started...

I can hear "Jesus Christ" at 1:18 in the video:

Looks like SSTV as someone else had said, but no luck decoding it so far. It can't be a huge amount of data.
