'the bloody dufus HAD a phillips screwdriver ON his "pen knife!"'
Those weren't phillips head screws, they were gutter bolts. you need a large flat head to undo them. But a knife works, if you have patience. |

Cool, but very similar to Operation Falcon Punch, which was just as creepy. |

BAD ACTING. "Fortress" is so obviously fake that he ruins the potential for a good story. |

1st thing that ruined it for me - the bloody dufus HAD a phillips screwdriver ON his "pen knife!" No one's that dumb - and he obviously fancies himself a sophisticate. Way too many shaky camera angles and impromptu "put-on" qualities, including audio character, to suck me in - but I'm still watching, clearly sucked in. |

Batmanners: Maybe each scene linked up with a verse or something from Pardoner's Tale. Besides, there's such things as cryptograms where you figure out a phrase or group of words even when you don't have all the letters. It can be done. |

C'mon, it was a good story. Like a good ghost story at Halloween, deep down you know it's bullsh*t, but it's fun and you join in the mood. |

What killed it for me was the decyphering of the first puzzle.
The clues did not have all the letters of the alphabet, how would one know which scene linked up to which letter if as soon as the letter "C", your sequence was messed up? I'm not saying it can't be done, but the message didn't use C, G, J, M, P, Q, V or X. It would be really tough to match up the story, that's all. |

"But.... there is no field shaped like that... or any such place as Felynamynydd. So no BBC news story ether. "
You're looking for yellow, it was a green field when Google took their picture. The program used in the video was not Google Maps.
Here is the Field you said doesn't exist, I got it off your link |

Unfortunately, not real. The videos show here are on youtube, but were only uploaded last year. A shame, but at the same time a relief. |
