''11B-X-1371'' is the name given to a late 2015 viral video of unknown origin, derived from the plaintext of a base64 string written on a DVD sent to GadgetZZ.com, the Swedish tech blog that publicized it. The segment is two minutes in length, consisting of black-and-white footage of a person wearing what appears to be a plague doctor costume walking and standing around in a dilapidated abandoned building with a forest visible through former window openings in the wall behind it. Accompanied by a soundtrack of loud, discordant buzzing noise, the masked figure holds up a hand with an irregularly blinking light. Viewers have described the experience of watching it for the first time as "creepy" and "unsettling", likening it to the experience of watching the video in the 2002 film ''The Ring''. Messages, many in commonly used ciphers and encryption systems, have been found hidden in the video and its sound spectrogram, as well as disturbing images of tortured and mutilated women. Most of the messages have been decoded by participants in an ongoing Reddit thread, and the images sourced to notable murder investigations such as the Boston Strangler. They have been interpreted as implying a threat of bioterrorism against the United States, although it has also been speculated that the video is in reality a viral marketing stunt for an upcoming film or video game, or a student film. After it first came to light in October, it was found that it had been posted to YouTube several months earlier, along with a similarly threatening message in binary code. The poster of that video, known as AETBX, has suggested to inquiring journalists that GadgetZZ is not telling the truth about how it came to possess the video. Internet investigators have managed to establish that it was filmed in the former Zofiówka Sanatorium outside Otwock, Poland, sometime between November 2013 and the video's release. ==Synopsis== The video begins with shaky footage showing a figure mostly concealed in the shadow between two window-sized openings in a brick wall, through which trees in leaf can be seen blowing in the wind. It is accompanied by indistinct electronic buzzing and hissing sounds. The figure holds its right hand to the window, signaling with three fingers, then one, and finally two. It remains in shadow, with an insert showing it with cloaked arms spread, as the camera moves further away and slowly circles to the right. After a jump cut, it appears to be better lit, revealing that it is someone wearing an outfit that resembles a plague doctor costume, a long dark long-sleeved hooded cloak with its face masked by a long, downward-pointing dark leather snout and goggles. It holds up its right hand, palm facing outward at shoulder height, to reveal a blinking light in the center of the palm. Beeping noises appear on the soundtrack in coordination with the blinks.〔 The figure eventually turns to its right to look at the hand. By this time the leaves outside are still. The figure turns to look at the camera, now steady, again briefly, then back to its hand. After a series of jump cuts in which it turns rapidly back and forth between the two positions, it looks directly at the camera and points to it.〔 A quick cut later it is looking at the camera again with hands at its sides. After a few more jump cuts in which it turns to the right and back again, it stands still, then looks to its left slowly. It looks down to where a box with various triangular sections appears, then to its right as the image seems to fragment briefly. For the remainder of the video it stands still with its back to the wall, with the camera apparently handheld again and occasional video effects briefly doubling the image.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「11B-X-1371」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
