White Probes Everywhere - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**98mk3** · 10-26-2006, 07:33 PM

I've been seeing these small boxes atttached high on lamp poles with a short white probe hanging out. There's one every few hundred feet and there all over the city. Anybody else see these, and even better, does anyone know what they do?

probbly nothing, but to be safe, assume they are left here by a far more advanced race, from a world further then the farthest known galaxy. They are using them to record thoughts and fears of our society, so when u see one, don't think of anything, especially your fears

I've never noticed them, sorry. I'll have a look.

I'm not sure if they are in downtown Waterloo but theres a good chance they are.

**JeBeDiAh** · 10-27-2006, 07:14 PM

Oh okay, because i was working for a company and we put up wy-fi wireless internet antennas all over downtown waterloo and they are starting to put them up all over guelph and cambridge i believe. except these are a greyish colour could of been what you are seeing

**christyles** · 10-27-2006, 09:22 PM

well at the corner of fariway/wilson... or whatever that intersection is where the shoppers and crappy joes is... there's a bunch of cameras at that intersection alone.

I know in Windsor, almost every intersection heading down to the Ambassador bridge there's about 9 cameras p/interstection... but that's cause of the border.

I don't know why here in KW.

The white "Probes" are indeed Wi-Fi Antennas. They are found everywhere between waterloo-kitchener and Guelph, it all depends on who sponsors what section.

**mazdaspeedpower** · 10-29-2006, 06:48 AM

**Herpee** · 10-29-2006, 01:03 PM

**JeBeDiAh** · 10-29-2006, 09:53 PM
