Ridge Line Observatory

Unknown Object

Take the night shift. Trace the speck the catalog cannot name.

A camera flags something moving through the eastern field. Blink plates, plot tracks, time beacons, and file readings until your theory holds—or breaks when the object changes trajectory.

What you do on shift

Short focused sessions built around one unfolding mystery—not a live sky map, but a story told through instruments you operate.

Shift board readings

File each step on your running theory rail—from the first eastern speck through trajectory breaks and collapsing altitude.

Plates & tracks

Blink photographic plates and plot arcs before the visitor changes course.

Beacons

Time pulsing flashes and decode letters hidden in the light.

Catalog shelf

Unlock reference articles as your case file grows through the night and compare coordinates with known passes.

Atmosphere on the ridge

Visual mood from the app—plates, beacons, and the dome waiting for your verdict.
