[0:00] Black screen; at 0:03, white text appears: "Entry #70"
[0:10] White text on screen: “So far, I’ve gotten one of the tapes we found to work.”
[0:20] White text on screen: “Tim was right, it contains more of Alex’s raw footage from when he was shooting Marble Hornets.”
[0:29] White text on screen: “Here is what I was able to get off of it:”
[0:39] Video starts with a shot looking out of the windshield of a car driving down a dark road. A cell phone is heard ringing at 0:50.
[1:00] Alex: Hey.
[1:01] An voice can be heard between when Alex speaks but is too low to be understood.
[1:04] Alex: Uh, it was fine. How was your day?
[1:11] Alex: Yeah. Oh, um, I forgot to tell you this the other day. I found out that one of the guys in the movie is actually from that area around your school.
[1:23] Alex: Yeah, it’s someone that I got to play one of the smaller parts. We were talking about filming locations and he mentioned a few up there that you might know of.
[1:29] Alex: Yeah. When I found out, I told him that’s weird, Amy’s actually going to school there.
[1:36] Alex: Basically just good luck not being bored.
[1:44] Alex: I’m gonna come visit you soon, okay?
[1:49] Alex: Yeah, and while I’m up there, I might actually film a few things for Marble Hornets.
[2:00] Alex: Actually, uh, I’ve been thinking. I might try to transfer there after I’m done shooting all this.
[2:09] Alex: Yeah, I mean, the film program there is better than the one I’m at now so, I mean, that’s what I’ve heard at least.
[2:19] Alex: And, also I don’t like being this far away from you.
[2:26] Alex: Uh, anyway, I’m really tired from shooting today so I’m just gonna go to bed.
[2:34] Alex: Um, yeah, I got back a few minutes ago.
[2:40] Alex: No, I’m at home. Um, my reception gets a little spotty out here sometimes so maybe you’re hearing static or something.
[2:51] Alex: Yeah, like I said though, I’m just gonna go to bed, okay? I’ll talk to you later.
[2:57] Alex: Okay, bye.
[2:58] Alex hangs up the phone and continues driving until he reaches a parking lot at 3:10. He parks and goes towards the playground.
[3:46] Audio and video distortion lead into a heavily distorted shot of the tree surrounding the playground.
[3:53] Distortion ends as Alex begins to enter the playground. It looks like the same location as in Entry #4. He stops next to the swings and looks behind him. There is a quick distortion at 4:34 right before Alex turns back around to see the Operator standing a few yards away. Audio distortion starts and grows louder as Alex moves towards the Operator. There are also a few visual tears as Alex gets closer.
[4:39] Alex: Hey! Hey! What do you want?
[4:42] The Operator appears to lift his arms towards Alex as Alex rushes him. The audio and visual distortion increases until the Operator vanishes at 4:44. Alex runs a few more steps and then turns back towards the playground. He begins coughing as he scans the area, there is some audio distortion until the screen goes black at 5:05.
[5:10] A clip from Entry #4 plays with white text below it: “The playground Alex went to looks like the same one that’s in Entry #4”
[5:22] White text on screen: “But why did he choose to burn this tape and give the other ones to me?”
[5:31] White text on screen: “I think it might have something to do with Amy. She was never mentioned in any of the other footage that Alex originally gave me.”
[5:39] Screen goes to black.

Main Theories and Observations

Further Speculation

It could be speculated that this is placed after Entry 4, although the amount of time would be impossible to discover. He seems to deliberately check the swings. Because they were moving in Entry 4, it can be assumed that he was checking to see the same thing. I seem to recall him also yelling "hey!" at TO in entry 4, however I'll have to double check my sources. EDIT - My bad, there was no audio in entry 4. Must've been mistaken ~ og1764
