Digitized Found Tapes - Coming Soon 📼.srt
While browsing a local charity used book sale, I found these tapes from the "Federal Temporal Anomaly Authority." They look to have been shipped to a TV station in the early 1990s. And they seem like they’ve seen better days.
I’m an historian who loves writing about local stories. When I find rare documents I immediately try to figure out the story they tell - do that research around them and figure out the bigger context. Then I can tell the story.
But I can’t find any reference to them or the events they talk about. No newspapers articles. No archival collections. Nothing. Which is really, really weird.
I’ve never hit a wall like this, so I figured why not just ask the internet? I’m planning on posting them here hoping you all can help me figure them out. I’ll add them as I get time to digitize them.
Video is just clock image. Hour hand rotates and stops each hour although II has been replaced by III and X replaced by IX. Minute hand rotates and stops every fifteen minute interval.
