The Story of the Skinny Bob Videos
There are two prevailing theories about their origin:
The user ivan0135, who uploaded the videos, remains anonymous and unknown, adding to the mystery surrounding the footage. To this day, no one has uncovered their identity, nor has any explanation been provided for how or why these videos were created.
The name ivan0135 and its significance
What baffles me is the choice of the username ivan0135. The ‘ivan’ part suggests an ‘Eastern Bloc’ connection, so naturally I ask: If you’re Russian, mate, and you’re hiding… why would you choose such a classic—stereotypical, I’d say—name? You could literally pick any name you want, even something like ‘Fa-Kyou the lost son of Fu-Man-Tsou’, and no one, not even your grandfather or your godmother, would ever know!
If we assume the name Ivan is meant to mislead, then surely he’s not Russian… or maybe he is, and wants us to think he’s not? If we wander into the logic of Confucius, we might say:
That the name Ivan could be an American trying to present himself as Russian, but it could also be a Russian making the—obvious—reverse assumption, presenting himself as Russian so that we conclude he’s American. In other words, the classic ‘I know that you know that I know that you know that the name Ivan means’… good luck figuring that out!
Ultimately, we must conclude that from the username ivan0135, the ‘Ivan’ provides absolutely no information.
As for the rest of the name, what could ‘0135’ be?
1. A reference to a code or an identifier.
- KGB/CIA/Military Codes: Some argue that ‘0135’ could refer to a declassified document code, an experiment, or a case related to extraterrestrial material, or it might even be an identifier used for communication signals. Let’s not forget that the Americans use similar codes on open frequencies, which we often hear in movies:
- -104 “ten-four” Roger
- -187 “One Eight Seven” – Dead police officer.
- -1056 “Ten Fifty-Six” – Attempted suicide
- -103 “Ten Three” – Radio silence.
- -459 “Four Fifty-Nine” – Burglary
The closest match I found is ‘1035’ – ‘Major Crime Alert.’ Considering that ’10’ is the category identifier for U.S. police codes, then ’35’ corresponds to the message ‘Major Crime Alert.’ Perhaps instead of ’10-35,’ Ivan could be referring to the code ’01-35,’ which might carry its own significance—perhaps even as a threat—towards those who ‘suspect’ who Ivan0135 is or those who ‘doubt’ he has insider information.
2. Reference to a Year or Timepoint
- Year 2035: Some believe that ‘0135’ could hint at the year 2035, perhaps the first day, first week, or first month of that year. It might represent a time when the truth surrounding the matter will be revealed.
- Reverse Date: As ’13/05′ (May 13th), it could symbolize a specific date or anniversary, adding a deeper layer of meaning to the code. This could point to a significant event, either real or speculative, tied to the timeline of the mystery.
3. Numerology (Yeah…Right)
According to numerology, the digits may have symbolic meaning:
0: The unknown or potential.
1: New beginnings, initiative.
3: Creativity, communication.
5: Change, curiosity, and freedom.
Combined, “0135” could suggest a hidden message related to discovery, mystery, and change.
4. Random Number
- Conventional Choice: It’s possible that “0135” was chosen randomly by the creator as a necessary addition to the name “ivan.” Perhaps it doesn’t have a deeper meaning. Let’s not forget that when you try to register the name “Johnny” on your account, and someone else has already taken it (oh, what a surprise!), the platform suggests alternative names: “Johnny976, Johnny0321, Johnny2721…” and, if you’ve got time, you might end up choosing “Johnny-the-fastest-driver-in-Hounslow” because you really are the fastest driver in Hounslow!
- Necessity Choice: Perhaps Ivan didn’t have time to sit and create the user-name “Ivan-the-Ninja-Of-Odessa” and just took the first option the platform suggested, “ivan0135.” Yes, it could be that simple!
5. Coordinates or Technical Data
File Identifier: The number could represent a numbering or sequence of files/videos. Let’s not forget that many of us who manage large numbers of files prefer, for example, to have file 25 appear before file 115. The simplest way in conventional operating systems is to rename “25” to “025” or “0025” and “115” to “0115” so that it appears in the correct order. So, the name “ivan0135” could indicate that “Ivan leaked video 135.”.
Geographic Coordinates: It could refer to coordinates, such as the geographical latitude 0.135°, although it doesn’t correspond to any significant location.
6. Cyrillic Characters
Use of Numbers instead of Letters: This is something we Greeks do with “Greeklish,” for example, instead of writing “θέλω,” we write “8elw” when we don’t have Greek characters on our keyboard—or we don’t know how to spell “θέλω” and hide behind Greeklish. Under this convention:
When written in Cyrillic characters, the number 0135 could correspond to the following letters:
- 0 → О (The Cyrillic “О” is pronounced like the Latin “O.”)
- 1 → І (The Cyrillic “І” corresponds to the Latin letter “I.” It is used in some Slavic languages, like Ukrainian, but not in Russian.)
- 3 → З (The Cyrillic “З” corresponds to the Latin letter “Z.”)
- 5 → Б (The Cyrillic “Б” corresponds to the Latin letter “B.”)
So, the 0135 in Cyrillic letters would form “ОІЗБ”, “OIZB”, However, it could also be a mix, meaning the number “01” along with “ЗБ”, since the “І” does not correspond to the Latin “I” in Russian.
If we take a more military-oriented analysis… the rank of Private is “Pte” (UK), “Pvt” (US), the rank of Sergeant is “Sgt” and the rank of Lieutenant is “Lt” and so on.
Regarding ‘ЗБ’ as an abbreviation or acronym:
‘ЗБ’ could indeed be an abbreviation, depending on the context of communication. It doesn’t directly mean ‘lower’ or ‘higher officer,’ but it could potentially be part of a system of military or other official abbreviations in Russian.
The letter ‘З’ is commonly used in abbreviations, sometimes associated with the word ‘звание’ (rank) or other official titles. The letter ‘Б’ could correspond to ‘боец’ (fighter) or even ‘бригадир’ (brigadier), although these terms are more specific and relate to military ranks.
In short, “ЗБ” could be an abbreviation for “Звание Боец,” meaning “Rank: Soldier,” or “Звание Бригадир,” meaning “Rank: Brigadier.”
In your interpretation, “01ЗБ” could symbolize “Private First Class,” which is a rank denoting a soldier with a distinction for their service, though they are still considered a reserve soldier who wouldn’t typically hold a full rank, even if they had prevented a nuclear war. In this reasoning, the number “01” represents “First Class,” and “ЗБ” refers to “Rank: Soldier,” aligning with the American military logic behind the “Private First Class” rank.
The Videos of Skinny Bob
Analysis of the Scenes
1. Interview with Skinny Bob
In this scene, we see Skinny Bob, the extraterrestrial being who has become iconic:
- Appearance: Skinny Bob has a large head, almond-shaped black eyes, and a slender body.
- Movement: His head moves slowly, as if observing the space or waiting for instructions.
- Atmosphere: The realistic motion of the alien makes many question whether it is CGI or a puppet.
2. Aliens in a Group
Another scene shows a group of aliens in a space that resembles a military or scientific laboratory:
- Environment: The setting appears sterile, likely within a base or government facility.
- The Aliens: The group shares similar features with Skinny Bob, including large heads and slender bodies. They remain silent and still, giving an impression of restraint or anticipation.
3. Examination Sceneη
An extraterrestrial is shown lying on a flat surface, possibly a table designed for medical examinations or an autopsy:
- Description: The alien remains motionless as the camera zooms in to capture intricate details of its body.
- Atmosphere: The setting is dark, illuminated with cold light, adding an air of mystery.
4. UFO Flight
A UFO is recorded flying over landscapes:
- Description: The craft has a disc-like shape and moves smoothly.
- Quality: The video is low-resolution, possibly to make it appear authentic.
5. Graphics and Intros
The videos include introductions with text resembling declassified documents:
- Style: There are references to dates, locations, and labels like “TOP SECRET.”
My Opinion on ivan0135
Keep in mind, reader, that this is just my opinion. You are welcome to disagree with me in the comments, but please do so respectfully.
I don’t believe aliens exist—I’m certain they do. I consider it a given.
However, I have doubts about their form, both physically and technologically, in relation to their “crafts.” I also question their apparent obsession with appearing “careless” only in low-resolution videos and photos.
Presentation
The videos are well-presented, including text describing the origin and dimensions of the original material.
Image
I notice editing in the video. Specifically, the “scratches” have been added later and are a product of a well-known “filter” in the editing world. The time-stamp is also a post-production addition.
These types of “scratches” do appear in films of the era but are caused by repeated screening and the spooling and unspooling process required for each projection. Clearly, this material was not subjected to mass and repetitive screening, so it should not have these wear marks. Perhaps the lack of such wear led ivan0135 to rely on the filter.
There is an effort to present this material as “second-generation,” meaning it was not copied directly from the primary source but rather filmed off a “screen” onto which the original material was projected.
This type of “second-generation” filming is usually done when someone records secretly—being in a location where the material is being shown and filming without permission—or when the person filming does not have direct access to the material for various reasons.
The issue with second-generation material is that it is harder to detect signs of forgery. Keep in mind that the Moon landing broadcast, which was shown live to the entire world, was also second-generation material. NASA refused to provide the direct feed, forcing television networks to broadcast by pointing their cameras at the “screen” showing the projection of the Moon landing footage. Despite significant protests from networks, NASA never released the original footage. Adding to the controversy, the “careless” NASA eventually lost the original material, fueling conspiracy theories that assume the worst.
Ivan0135 claims to have the material in his possession, which would have allowed him to make a proper or higher-quality copy. Even if he lacked the proper equipment for copying, he could have digitized several high-resolution frames from the material using even the cheapest scanner available in 2011. This would allow him to present the second-generation footage accompanied by five or six high-quality images. However, he did not do this, which makes me question his reliability.
Sound
The sound in the video — that “Clickity clack” noise — was added later to give a “flavor” of authenticity. There is no real sound, so it should be completely disregarded.
The Era of Uploading on YouTube
Did the technology exist in 2011 to create such material using graphic software?
Undoubtedly, yes!
It wasn’t as easy as it is today, but it was possible, and there are many examples from that time and even earlier of fabricated videos.
Conclusion and the role of KGB and CIA
The material is certainly interesting and seems authentic. I wonder why ivan0135 went through the process of adding filters with scratches and timestamps.
To be honest, since I first saw these videos (around 2013), I’ve been waiting for the “artist” to step forward and say that they made this to gain recognition. I also expected a big “revelation” that they are part of a movie, or an uncovering of inconsistencies in the objects shown, like the spiral phone from the famous “Roswell autopsy.”
I can’t say with certainty that it’s fake, despite the indications. I believe it’s not a graphics-made product, and I also find the chances of it being a puppet or animatronic extremely low.
Perhaps ivan0135 decided to “ruin” the material he had by adding obvious signs of forgery… just enough to make it reach the public. I believe that if there were no signs of fakeness and manipulation, if the footage had been “first-generation” and clear… we would never have seen it. It wouldn’t have been uploaded for more than six minutes on YouTube because “three-letter agencies” would have ensured the video’s disappearance from the channel and the hard drive on the computer that uploaded it.
It is carefully and skillfully manipulated genuine material. This is not the work of a “lone wolf”; there is thought and intent behind every detail of the leak.
I dare to say that the group behind the name ivan0135 may not have had the intention of informing the public. Perhaps they asked for compensation from those who wish to hide the truth, and this leak might have been a sample of what they can do. A controversial sample, a questionable sample, a sample that isn’t dangerous per se, but one that potentially shows “those who know” that they can cause significant damage and cracks in the “dam” of information that has been built up over many years by those who truly govern us.
Of course, I’m not suggesting that the compensation was monetary, but there was certainly no altruism in this act. It’s possible that behind ivan0135 lies a three-letter agency or even an extraterrestrial factor… Perhaps there’s something hidden that we could never imagine.
