ANOM-14
Pattern. The anomalous stars (ANOM-01, -03, -07, -09, -11, -14) form a shape when connected. I noticed this in January 2022. The shape is familiar. I spent three weeks trying to identify it. It is the floor plan of this house, viewed from above.
"I showed the star map to Dr. M. She looked at it for a long time without speaking. Then she said: 'These coordinates — do you know what they spell?' I said I didn't. She said: 'I'm not going to tell you. Find the coordinates file and work it out yourself. I think it matters that you work it out yourself.' She left. I haven't been able to reach her since." — C.
