The last three years of my life were dedicated to solving a groundbreaking UFO mystery that explains the secret, dark underbelly of my hometown. But it was too big to solve alone, so I crafted a way for us to solve it together. Welcome to the first-ever non-fiction, UAP-mystery-based ARG.

Warning: This message is only for those who crave the thrill of genuine, in-person mystery. This isn't an ordinary ARG - it's a real-life hunt for a mystery related to my hometown and a Canadian journalist who became obsessed with it in 1947.

In November, 1947, a celebrated Canadian journalist alleged my small town was home to groundbreaking atomic research and, more importantly, that an electromagnetic rocket being produced here was being confused for UFOs in the States. Every historian has dismissed the theory out of hand as a baseless conspiracy.

But I'm a local - I know a thing or two about this town. And I know this journalist was definitely on to something.

Interested? Keep reading:

Imagine that, in a single day, the purpose of your life became clear.

I believe each of us is here for a reason.

And on May 12, 2022, as a giant comet blazed across the sky, I discovered mine:

To make an impact through my UFO investigation.

Not by writing a best-selling book. Not by producing an award-winning documentary.

But by realizing that the best part of a mystery is the journey—not the destination.

Because mysteries aren’t meant to be hoarded like Smaug's gold.

They’re meant to be shared.

That’s why I created the CACHE project.

The entire theme is that it’s caché (hidden). You have to find the game first.

Think of it like a speakeasy, except the hidden part is the mystery. Confused upon entry? The game explains it all.

My organization is built to filter for individuals with good hearts, sharp intuition, and a burning desire to discover the truth.

If this project is for you, you’ll easily find the game. You'll easily solve it.

It's only once you start engaging beyond it that you’ll be awed.

Not by what I’ve uncovered in my three-years-long search, but by the unmistakeable sensation of being involved in true discovery.

Because this isn’t about me. It's not about the explosions, mysterious sightings and murders that consistently rocked my childhood town. Heck, it's not even about the mystery.

CACHÉ is about sharing the most thrilling sensation in the world: true adventure.

Because why settle for fiction or video games when the real world is overflowing with unsolved mysteries?

This is about you.

Do you have what it takes?

I’ll see you on the other side.

TLDR: I built a cool game to find capable individuals to help me solve a mystery. Find it, play it, lemme know what you think :D

And remember, it's not meant to be easy - because solving mysteries is hard.

(Desktop not necessary but highly recommended)

 To doxxers: This isn't an ordinary ARG. There is no roleplay. This is no mysterious interface. There is no concealment of identity. This is me.

 That's because - unlike 99.9% of ARGs - this mystery we're venturing into is real. It's truly unsolved. And we're going to solve it together. Thus, it doesn't need artificial augmentation.

Were Roswell and other flying saucers actually electromagnetic rockets built in southern Spain? A real investigation you can join

I've been researching some extraordinary claims about my hometown made by a Canadian journalist in 1947. Unfortunately, I'm only one person. I'm here because you may be able to help me.

Lionel Shapiro claimed the Roswell crash and the destruction of several aircraft over the United States, officially attributed to unknown reasons, were actually the result of electromagnetic rockets, built by exiled Nazi scientists, launched from southern Spain.

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/137126469

On their face, the claims are extraordinary and unlikely. Especially because Western journalists wrote pages and pages on Soviet-supplied misinformation that alleged Spain had secret Nazi armies in the Pyrenees and was constructing atomic bombs in the outskirts of Madrid. All of which has been disproven by posterity.

That's why this story hardly made waves into our present days of open UFO fascination. And it's why all the contemporary historians I've contacted have basically shrugged and said, 'find something more concrete'.

But careful examination begins to unravel a worrying trend; Shapiro *was* onto something.

The first implication of its reality is that Shapiro is a unique figure in the UFO space. The man was highly respected and successful, and McGill still has a Comparative Literature award given in his name. He was also clearly trusted by the U.S. military, as he embedded with the precursors of US Special Forces in a clandestine raid into Czechoslovakia.

The second is that while the pro-Spanish camps of the West, who were slowly legitimising the Franco dictatorship for its anti-communist credentials as the Cold War began, strongly condemned and refuted all other pro-Soviet stories about Spanish agitation. The British even dispatched investigators far and wide and reported on their findings to show the stories were mere propaganda. And yet, nothing was ever refuted about Marbella.

The third is that, being from Marbella, I know a thing or two about this city. Researching its dark past has uncovered a raft of facts that prove that even if the electromagnetic rocket wasn't the cuase of Roswell, that Shapiro was onto *something* related to advanced propulsion and Nazis in the Spanish coastline.

If you find this interesting, I've built the world's first "real" ARG, whose purpose is to find dedicated individuals willing and able to assist me in this novel investigation. The concept is a 'real Game', where individuals around the world can unite in investigating something truly mysterious and unknown. There's no payment or catch; fulfill the tasks to prove your worth. Then I will send you questions and tasks we can solve. Together.

Good luck!

My mission to discover the truth about my mysterious hometown (The most original ARG of 2026 ?)

The cachémode ARG was created following the discovery of a real mystery regarding my controversial hometown since 2022.

It started with a Canadian journalist called Lionel Shapiro who claimed that Marbella, Spain was being used by Nazi scientists to build electromagnetic rockets that were being confused for flying saucers above the United States.

That very day, as I discovered the piece, on 12 May 2022, I uncovered a series of clues that suggested the journalist was on to something.

And suddenly, my surroundings turned green. Looking up, a meteorite flew across the sky in shades of green, purple and red.

That's when I knew this story was my destiny.

Not just to solve this mystery, but to share it. Because perhaps my goal in life is to bring people together in the pursuit of something *real*.

Unlike other ARGs, this one is designed as a filter for people to join together in real discovery. Do you have what it takes to join?
