ONI Agent Approached Dark Skies Creators
- Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman were approached at a Dark Skies launch party by a man claiming Office of Naval Intelligence who offered a quid pro quo: insider info for narrative influence.
- The man asked them to store a small paper he drew, calling it "sound, light, and frequency secrets of the universe," then urged a safety-deposit box hold.
The Folded Paper Called Secret Of The Universe
- At the backyard meeting the ONI man asked for paper and drew a small folded symbol, telling Brent to keep it in a safety-deposit box for 10–15 years.
- Brent described the paper as seeming like gibberish and the man labeling it "sound, light, and frequency secrets of the universe."
How The Secret Paper Was Rediscovered
- The paper went missing for decades until Brent's daughter found it hidden, stuck to a book, after a $500 incentive from Bryce.
- They reunited the artifact with fresh analysis plans and plan to publish images on their Sound, Light and Frequency site and episodes.
