Newer public upload, 8 November 2026: Puerto Rico’s long grid outage is a field log, not a reconstruction.
Latest reconstruction
The last known Tasmanian tiger died at Beaumaris Zoo, Hobart, on 7 September 1936. A University of Melbourne team, working with Colossal, has read a genome from museum specimens and is editing the fat-tailed dunnart. A live animal by 2036 is a stated hope, and none has been born. The animal in the forest is an original illustration for this channel, not footage of a living thylacine.
Fifteen public films from the channel’s YouTube uploads feed, read on 9 November 2026. Log numbers run from the oldest film in that feed to the newest. They are labels for this page, not YouTube identifiers. Playback starts only after you choose it.
LOG #015History
After Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico went nearly eleven months without restored grid power, the longest blackout in United States history. The film summarizes planning guidance from FEMA, Ready.gov, and the American Red Cross, and it labels some photographs as file images rather than the event itself.
LOG #014PaleobiologyLatest reconstruction
The last known Tasmanian tiger died at Beaumaris Zoo, Hobart, on 7 September 1936. Melbourne researchers, working with Colossal, have read a genome from museum specimens; a live animal by 2036 is a stated hope, and the forest animal in the film is an original illustration.
LOG #013Paleobiology
Arms about 2.4 meters long, found in 1965 in Mongolia’s Nemegt rocks, stood in for the animal for nearly fifty years. A 2014 description assembled a large ornithomimosaur with a broad toothless bill; the night dig and the river scene are original illustrations, not footage from the dig.
LOG #012Oceanography
This longer film follows life at hydrothermal vents, from the 1977 Alvin dives to animals that live on chemical energy rather than sunlight. The pictures are credited expedition footage and NASA animations, and the Europa and Enceladus comparison is chemistry under discussion, not a finding of life.
LOG #011History
The Phaistos Disc, found in 1908 at the Minoan palace on Crete, carries 241 stamped signs and still has no agreed reading. No second text uses the same full set of 45 signs, and the opening image is a photograph of the disc.
LOG #010Nature
Leucochloridium paradoxum moves into the eyestalks of amber snails and pulses there. The film follows that life cycle as natural-history accounts describe it; it is not a new study from this channel.
LOG #009History
About 130 bronze Roman dodecahedra are known from Britain to the Rhine, and no Roman text is known to name them. Measuring, craft, and ritual uses have all been proposed, and the purpose remains unproven.
LOG #008Physics
1I/‘Oumuamua, found in 2017, left the solar system slightly faster than gravity alone explains, with no visible tail. A hydrogen-from-ice proposal is one reading of that nudge, and it is not proven.
LOG #007Nature
Monarchs travel up to about 3,000 miles toward mountain forests in Mexico that the migrating generation has not seen. A sun compass timed by the antennae is well described; how they find the same groves is still not fully solved.
LOG #006Nature
The emerald jewel wasp uses two stings that change a cockroach’s escape response, then leads it to a burrow. The film is a brief nature note on that behavior.
LOG #005History
A coal seam under Centralia, Pennsylvania, has been burning since a trash fire reached it in May 1962. The film notes the failed attempts to stop it, the cracked Route 61, and the 1981 sinkhole from which Todd Domboski was pulled clear.
LOG #004Physics
Part 2 presents a hydrogen-cloud explanation for the Wow! signal, drawn from later Arecibo recordings. A magnetar flare lighting a cloud is the film’s leading suspect, and the film treats that idea as unproven.
LOG #003Physics
On 15 August 1977, Ohio State’s Big Ear telescope recorded a 72-second signal from the direction of Sagittarius, which Jerry Ehman marked “Wow.” The signal sat near the hydrogen line and did not repeat in the searches that followed.
LOG #002History
The Voynich Manuscript is a medieval book in a script that has not been read, on parchment dated to the early fifteenth century. Statistical tests argue the text is patterned like language; what the drawings show is still unsettled, and this film is not a decipherment.
LOG #001History
Part 2 of a short on the 1959 hiking group at Dyatlov Pass and what searchers found months later. The film’s leading explanation is a slab of hard snow, and it attributes faint radiation on clothing to thorium lantern mantles.
Notes on what each public film is using, and where a picture was made for the channel rather than filmed at the time.
LOG #0158 November 2026
A preparedness field log, not a generated landscape. The description credits archival photographs and says a Paris crowd picture and a later Manhattan skyline are file images. The outage timeline is the historical record after Hurricane Maria. The household steps are planning estimates from FEMA, Ready.gov, and the American Red Cross, not a forecast for one home.
LOG #0147 November 2026
The forest walk is an original illustration and is synthetic. Museum mounts and the fat-tailed dunnart photographs are credited on YouTube. The 2036 date is a hope stated around the Melbourne and Colossal genome work, not an animal that has been born.
LOG #0136 November 2026
The night dig and the river animal are original illustrations, not 1965 footage. The body plan follows Lee and colleagues, Nature, 22 October 2014: a large ornithomimosaur, a broad toothless bill, tall neural spines, fish remains, and stomach stones. How the claws were used is a reading of the bones.
LOG #0126 November 2026
About eleven minutes. Footage and stills are credited to Ifremer, the National Oceanography Centre, NOAA, NASA, and others listed on YouTube. Vent biology is summarized from the published discovery record, including the 1977 Alvin dives. Europa and Enceladus are mentioned for similar rock-and-water chemistry, not as places where life has been found.
LOG #0115 November 2026
Found in 1908, dated roughly 1850–1600 BC, and held at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. The signs were stamped, not drawn. The opener is a move across a photograph of the disc. There is no agreed reading.
LOG #0104 November 2026
A nature note on Leucochloridium paradoxum. Brood sacs move into the eyestalks, and infected snails are more often found in brighter places. This channel did not collect the observations.
LOG #0093 November 2026
Hollow bronze objects with twelve faces, a round hole in each, and a knob at each corner. No Roman text or picture is known to name them. A complete example was found at Norton Disney, England, in 2023. The use is unproven.
LOG #0082 November 2026
The extra push as it left is the observation. No tail was seen. Sunlight freeing trapped hydrogen is one proposal and is not proven. The object is now too faint for a new measurement.
LOG #0071 November 2026
The migrating generation flies toward forests it has not visited. The sun compass and antennal clock are the settled part of the account. The last step, finding the same groves, is still open.
LOG #00631 October 2026
A short behavioral note. Two stings change the cockroach’s escape response, and the wasp leads it into a burrow. The title on YouTube is more graphic than this note; the film is the source.
LOG #00531 October 2026
The mine fire dates from May 1962. A newspaper-style card in the film is a text illustration, not a real front page. The fire diagram is simplified.
LOG #00430 October 2026
Cold hydrogen clouds and a possible magnetar flare are offered as a natural maser. The film says the idea is not settled. Watch part 1 first if you want the 1977 record on its own.
LOG #00330 October 2026
The 72-second Big Ear detection of 15 August 1977, near the hydrogen line, from the direction of Sagittarius. Later pointings did not recover it. This part stops at that record.
LOG #00229 October 2026
Parchment tests place the pages in the early fifteenth century, and the script is still unread. Pattern in the words is not the same thing as a translation. Claims that the plants cannot be Earth plants are stronger than the evidence this film can settle.
LOG #00129 October 2026
The film’s leading account is a slab of hard snow set loose by the cut of the campsite. Faint radiation on two pieces of clothing is tied to thorium mantles in camp lanterns. This note does not describe injuries. The uploads feed used here begins with this part; an earlier part may sit outside those fifteen entries.
Where a film rebuilds an animal or a place, the pictures are original computer-generated imagery or original illustrations made for the channel. Those frames are synthetic. They are not a camera record of a living animal or of the historical hour.
Other films are cut from archival photographs and expedition footage. Credits sit in the YouTube description. When a file photograph stands in for another place, the description says so.
Movement, when it is reconstructed, follows published anatomy: the proportions of the bones, the joints they allow, and a plain reading of behavior where the literature supports one. That is a visual interpretation. A physics engine does not validate every frame, and a rendered walk is not filmed behavior.
YouTube is the outlet. These pages do not present the films as journal articles.
The channel is not a laboratory, and these films are not papers. Two shorts sit nearest to physics.
‘Oumuamua (LOG #008) left the solar system a little faster than solar gravity alone explains. It showed no tail. One proposal is hydrogen released from ice by sunlight, a gas too faint to detect. That proposal is not proven.
The Wow! signal (LOG #003 and LOG #004) is the 72-second record from Big Ear on 15 August 1977. Part 2 discusses cold hydrogen clouds and a possible magnetar flare. That explanation is unproven.
