SUMMARY INVESTIGATION REPORT

With your supplied information, we began our operation to discreetly monitor the activities and communications of XXXXXX.

First spotted arriving at George Airport in South Africa, he hastily left with a local guide.

As you indicated, they followed the routes and detours characteristic of someone visiting the Kalkkop impact crater. A few hours later, an alert operative spotted the road-weary XXXXXX at Port Elizabeth Airport. We were informed that his flight would land in Johannesburg, at the OR Tambo International Airport, and arranged for a local surveillance team there.

Early the next morning XXXXXX was seen leaving his hotel, once again meeting with a prepared guide. Tswaing and Vredefort craters were both visited, and we photographed him performing hasty chemical experiments on both the earth and vegetable matter at the site.

Returning to Johannesburg, he boarded a flight for Francistown without delay. After a day's travel to the Kgagodi crater and back, a very tired looking XXXXXX returned to Francistown and left on a flight for Gaborone. Sources informed us that he visited the Morokweng crater, although his next move was very difficult to discern. Once again we alerted operatives at the closest regional airports, and the next morning an unkempt XXXXXX trundled in to Upington Airport in the back of a dusty pickup truck. His flight to Oranjemund was apparently supposed to be a private matter, and our prodding for information may have perked the ears of other interests.

He met with a guide as before, and was escorted to the Roter Kamm crater. Here he performed experiments of a radiological nature, and so we arranged to have agents at Lüderitz Airport plausibly detain him for tripping a silent radioactivity alarm.

In a search of his belongings, he was found to be carrying a small amount of scientific equipment but most tellingly, a shortwave radio. Before being detained he was observed carelessly tossing away a notepad missing only a few sheets. Fortunately it was recovered, although a rubbing of the pad produced the head-scratching "LFDGONDOMNHTNOZTLXRFYJFMHTUPY".
