First Investigation: West Carleton, May 1992

At 11:40 · chapter starts 9:00

On May 10th, 1992, Bob Oeschler and his son meet up with eight Canadian UFO researchers including Graham Lightfoot in West Carleton to trace Guardian's map. The search begins near the upscale Cedar Ridge Estates neighborhood — stately homes surrounded by fields — and one investigator even notices a single dog barking in the distance, echoing the tape's audio. The team quickly finds itself mired in a knee-deep mosquito-infested swamp; most give up and go to dinner. Oeschler and his son press on alone. That evening, Oeschler triumphantly announces he's found the exact location from Guardian's video. Fellow researcher Tom finds this suspicious: it took an out-of-towner with little knowledge of the area just a few hours at dusk to find a needle in a haystack that the Canadians had been searching for years. When Tom presses Oeschler on how he managed it, he says he only got a smile in return.
