And too much effort has gone into me trying to get the word out as well. It is all extra work now, as I sit here, wondering how anyone could believe it is natural or a watering hole. And yet, that has been the typical reaction to it. This is discouraging, but it is because only a small number of people that have actually seen it. The people I argue with all proposed other solutions to this same cipher. It was never going to work out.
This is all a marketing effort more than anything. It is the way of the world.
The cipher is a bit cursed, but that is ok. It has been solved, and that is the important thing. Especially if it leads to evidence being recovered. This is what keeps me up at night.

If I helped find evidence, I would like an apology from the other forum admin. If I didn’t find evidence, I at least found a big triangle landmark that the Zodiac himself definitely made, without question.
If it wasn’t so obvious, I wouldn’t be so hung up about it.
But it is. I am still open to hearing plausible alternative explanations for the landmark, and why it is placed where it is placed, and designed the way that it is designed. My feeling is that the people that have been quiet about it know the truth, as do I. And it is surprising to say the least.
We will know one day. I can keep waiting. It isn’t going anywhere.
The radar test is the only way to know the truth opinions do not matter much. That is what I have concluded after four months.
Still, the builder of that triangle is none other than the Zodiac. What is or isn’t placed within the inner circle, no idea. The authorities will figure that out. They will look. I see little reason why not, as it is the best opportunity they have been handed. It doesn’t point to someone’s home, and if it did I wouldn’t share it like @DMW did.
This is the same story as others that have proposed solutions in the past, except I have the triangle, and that is the big difference here.

Ever since I saw it, it has been a constant fascination. A difficult thing to get out of ones mind. Especially not knowing what might be there.
That is where I am at. Being a curious person, it is grueling waiting around, not even knowing if the test will ever happen.
This has led to a variety of mixed emotions.
And I am still on the rollercoaster of anticipation. What is next? That is the question.
What is next is they’ll probably take a quick look and get a hit on the scan. It is how I see this playing out. And that will be the biggest news in the case, probably ever.
I just knew who made that the moment I saw it, it was a feeling that was unmistakable. It was because I had been looking at the ciphertext so much, and so the triangle was obvious to me the moment it was seen.

It would have been nice to have had a better forum experience. I just consider it bad luck. But that won’t matter in the end because the landmark is still there and known. As long as that is the case, it only a matter of time.

And then, after a long battle, it will have finally happened. My day will have come, and it will be accepted as truth.
I say this realizing every past solver felt the very same way. It is the same pattern. You think you found it, but you didn’t. Sunk cost fallacy, and whatnot.
I didn’t sink my costs, they paid off. Even if it hasn’t been talked about in the mainstream, it comes with a strong feeling of knowingness that came the moment the landmark was seen with my eyes. Without the satellite imagery, I wouldn’t have that.

That thing got in my brain, and that is by design. Literally. But I will be good, I am still very happy I found it, despite the darkness around it.
There is great hope for it being scanned and it being resolved, and then I will feel this amazing release finally.
And so, no one has to worry about me even though I am spamming my thread.

Yup I do.

Am unhappy but Zodiac is the bad guy that made the cipher, it is his fault.
But his cipher has been defeated, by me.
Either way, the other forum admin should hope I am not right. He was objectively not nice about it. But whatever.

I would also like to add today, as it is another morning: I am an emotional wreck waiting around for the experts to engage with my work after four months.
I apologize for becoming angry, but I am just open and honest about that. I am a peaceful person and always have been, with no history of being a bad guy.
I am trying to help and am being ignored, my work is good, so I do not know why I have been ignored so much. And I do not know why people always try to derail this when I share this with very weak debunks that attempt to create doubt. These debunks are always off base and highly improbable.

I am going to rant a bit more while I am in the zone.
The internet forum users that went around casting doubt, I understand you are trying to determine if this is true or not, you are expressing your doubts.
This is a good thing, and it is my job to respectfully engage with them, even if I find them silly. The problem is, I keep hearing the same ones. Natural origin, or watering hole.
It completely ignores most of my work, just discussing the origin of the triangle. Today is a new day, and I still believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that Zodiac constructed that triangle. There just is no other plausible explanation for what has occurred.
To the experts, I have become emotional which has put me off focus, not in the best place right now to engage with critical analysis. I basically need a break to rest and think of my next steps. All I want is the triangle to be checked out, nothing else.
If it is right, the only person that really road blocked this and caused major issues post-solve was the other forum admin. I will say that straight up. Even if it is wrong, which it isn’t (I’m sorry but I’ve been waiting a long time to be told otherwise), he still censored this work. Considering the big landmark, it didn’t deserve to be censored. It deserved to be talked about.
Censorship has always been a pet peeve to me. Many proposed Z32 solutions are bad and point to the wrong place. Those should be censored. I understand this.
However no privacy is violated with where I have pointed. It is hills, and cows. This felt safe enough for me to share, and I told the authorities shortly after I found this. I had to show the images so experts could review the work. It was important evidence to prove my solution, and so I had to share the location. There is no expectation of privacy that was violated, and due to the potential significance, I had to share it, and I am glad that I did.
I will still finish the third version of my paper, and I will still make my Youtube videos. I will get this out there.
It has been 11/10 hard. And I hate to say this, but that has largely been due to internet forums. It was the wrong route from day one. But the reason was I did initially want to engage in open dialogue. But now I realize, that just leads to people telling me the landmark is natural in origin.

No one will ever know the feeling of the past four months. Both very good and very bad at the exact same time.
The slow expert response was absolutely brutal. I am just so glad that a few did respond. If none had, I would literally have no idea what to think.
This work has been shared and held up, in that no one has falsified anything about it. I have definitely heard many dissenting opinions, virtually all of them are alternative theories on the origin of the triangle. Again, this ignores almost all of the other work.

An this last message is just to say while it has been a rollercoaster, and there was a period of despair to the difficult to interpret initial reception after four months, it will pass. There are ups and downs, and this is a down. But I will get back up and keep going. It is the insomnia that began after I found the triangle, and just waiting around for four months, plus getting censored by the forum admin. It is brutal but I’ll survive.

I apologize for lashing out and spamming GIF’s, but I still think some of the GIF’s are good, and I believe I solved this cipher. So at least I wasn’t lying.

So if it is proven correct, I don’t know why it wouldn’t be (the landmark…), I will wonder why it was pretty coldly met imo.
That is ok, I accept that. But I don’t really understand it. Too me everything is very compelling. But the general lack of feedback (other than saying the landmark might be natural in origin ect), has left me in the dark, confused, and wondering what is going on here.

And that is the very reason I have raised the issue by spamming this thread. It is true I am trying to draw attention to this, because it has been ignored and not engaged with deeply, I feel. And if it has been, I am not aware of this, since I haven’t heard much about it personally, and I would like to be brought into the loop.

I will assert again that IN THREE AND THREE EIGHTHS RADIANS TEN is the solution to the Z32 cipher. I’ve been saying it for four months and the work hasn’t been falsified yet even though I have put it before capable people, that are completely unbiased. In fact, I would assume the people I sent it to wanted to debunk it, but were unable to do so, and just didn’t respond. Then there are others that probably just didn’t read it in the first place, since many proposed Z32 solutions are a waste of time (subjectively selected).
