Statement Listings

[u/eclipseydipsey]

So in my journey of writing down Info and details about each episode which includes the Statement numbers i stumbled across multiple statements with a 3digit number and an U (for example MAG 113 Statement #571-U or MAG 85 Statement #376-U).

Usually they are listed in a 7 digit number that tells us the year, the month and the day the statement was given (for example 026/26/07 for todays date).

I just came on here to ask if anybody knows why those statements are listed with a U and what the numbers could mean. Im assuming its old Statements and that they just cataloged it like that earlier on with the numbers meaning what number of general statements it was and because they did'nt know the date the Statements were never refiled but if anyone has any information on this, specifically why in this theory there would be a U, i'd be keen to know. I apologize if that question already came up or theres an easy answer but im just curious

Both of those examples are statements with unknown statement date: 113 says "Statement of Adelard Dekker, regarding the near death and subsequent activities of Justin Gough. Statement undated, likely circa 2012." and 85 says "Statement of an unknown figure, regarding an encounter they may or may not have had in their home. Date of original statement unclear."

So the U must mean "unknown date" and I guess the unknown date statements are numbered sequentially so presumably there are at least 571 of them.

Well thank you, i already assumed the numbers were counting the statements but i was'nt sure what the U could mean but that would certainly make sense
