Now that I have suckered you in with the most clickbaity title EVAAAAAAAR let's have a chat, shall we?
When the Halloween 3306 Event involving the Adamastor went live CM-Art said on the live broadcast that day that there was a very important point of the story that he was surprised was not being discussed. On last Monday's SCN #11 CM-Bruce responded to the question "Have we found everything about the Halloween event?" with this (Apologies but the Twitch Clip cut off the bit where he refers directly to CM-Art's comment):

There is an active discussion ongoing in the Elite Week Discord: https://discord.gg/Wtgnsbq
in the #Tinfoil-Ops channel on this topic but I wanted to open the matter up to the wider Elite community thru these forums...
OK so, preamble complete.
Let's review and see what details the story point to that aren't being discussed. To my mind, the things this story points he may be indicating are:
1. Our previous first recorded contact with Thargoids was 3125 but this clearly indicates that the entity known as Azimuth Biochemicals that became known as Pharmasapien clearly had detailed knowledge of Thargoid sites in 3111 which indicates contact prior to even that time.
2. FTL Comms must be a thing based on the storyline.
3. Some secretive group acting thru shell corps was exhibiting very INRA like behavior far prior to our knowledge of the official existence of INRA.
4. The storyline of "Murphy" seems to clearly indicate the presence of some either mind control or ability to cause madness by either the Thargoids or their barnacles.
5. There was clearly another secure facility that the ship was en route to before they were diverted to the sample site. Although the comment by CM-Bruce that "to my knowledge there all the sites from the event have been found" could be taken to indicate that while the site was a part of the storyline it was not an asset added into the game per-se.
6. There is some ambiguity as to exactly what was recovered from the Thargoid wreckage whether it was a Probe or a Heart or in fact some form of Thargoid remains (dead or alive).
7. (I need to look further into this one) Were we aware of human travel that far out as long ago as 3111?
8. Presumably the first humans "taken" by Thargoids timeline has to be moved up significantly along with the first contact timeline.
9. As the originating comment was made within hours of the initial discovery of the Adamastor Mega-Ship could his comment be pointing to something else to do with that initial discovery of ship and logs or some other thing which was contained within the Chukchan system itself?
10. This would quite possibly make this the first (based on the timeline) use of Listening Posts?
11. Another one I need to look into further but, back in 3111 we have a Megaship able to travel in excess of 615 Ly in one day?
I would be very interested to hear your thoughts. Is there some factual error with any of the points I have listed? Is there something I have missed that should be added? I presume that this story is, in fact, not yet complete (or rather it's overarching effect on the sum total of Elite Lore) based on the subsequent arrival in the area of an Alliance Mega ship which seems to also be investigating this matter in the current timeline in-universe lore.
Again, you may also be interested to see the discussions ongoing within the Elite Week Discord.
Thanks for your attention to this post and I hope for exciting discussions!
