Video 2: Original link

Transcription: There's more to the world than you can truly see. You've sensed it, but you cannot tell. Something is very wrong. Strange occurrences, visions affecting us. Are we being watched? I am a truthseeker with many questions. The most important is what is the Niantic Project?

The Niantic Investigation

Part 1 - Comiccon

Video

Hidden Info

At 1:45 there is a QR Code that leads to http://nianticproject.com/?rdc=a7w8t4 which in turn redirects to

Leads to http://nianticproject.com/?rdc=a7w8t4, which redirects to http://www.nianticproject.com/?id=chapeau57o. There you can find the image Zurich.

There is a number - the same one on the Investigation board that is a NIA person of interest number - 805 3NIA OPS

Part 2 - Comiccon

Video

Hidden Info: It contains a QR code that leads to trans drawing. There's a hidden passcode (portal22q) on lower right side.
There is a link to Tycho's Tumblr account - http://tychosees.tumblr.com/

Part 3 - Abductions

Video

HIdden Info: It contains a QR code at 2:47 that bring to http://nianticproject.com/?rdc=d8q9q4. This in reality is a link called http://www.nianticproject.com/?id=epiphany13y that looking at the end of it you get another passcode epiphany13y

The image in that page is the Spomenik

Part 4 - Conspiracy

Video

Hidden Info: It contains a QR code at 1:55 that bring to http://nianticproject.com/?rdc=e6x7z5. This in reality is a link called http://www.nianticproject.com/?id=conpiracy84a that looking at the end of it you get another passcode conspiracy84a (the link is missing the s…typo or on purpose)

The chatlog on that page is called Monitor Lynton-Wolfe

Part 5 - Klue - Murder

Video

Extra Info: “2 will die” is mentioned by Klue as looks like 2-3-7-1-1 and “die” is “the” in German. Google search on the reversed numbers reveals that the 11732nd verse of the Bible is, “Now from the time that Amaziah did turn away from following Jehovah they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.” (2 Kings 14:19).
This could be a mention to Amaziah Lachish.

Hidden Info: The video description contains
z49b
stogh
6qxp8
Reversing the first and last digraphs (two-character pairs) in each line:
z49b = 4zb9
stogh = tsohg (then reversed = ghost)
6qxp8 = q6x8p
we end up with 4zb9ghostq6x8p.

A previous version of the video description had this
9wg6
investiess (rearranges to “sensitives”)
t8y3w
9wg6sensitivest8y3w

Part 6 - Klue - Epiphany

Video

Hidden Info

In the image there are some weird characters. This is actually an asemic writing that can be found here.
