I spent several hours trying to piece together random info from his videos that might lead me to his location, and I was able to pinpoint where he works. I'm 100% sure. I was thinking of calling and telling them I'm looking for someone who is missing, and if they have an employee fitting the description that hasn't shown up to work, then they should call in a welfare check.
I don't want to make his place of employment public especially if it would encourage people to go there or call the place. Also that's gotta be TOS.
If this is a hoax his car will be in the parking lot at some point.
Edit: I called earlier today:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FindJames_Cylinder/comments/1oyejhx/comment/np7xbh0/
Please call if you’re certain.
I really hope this was a larp. If not, this could have a legitimately sad ending.
Arguably. A 30 minute perimeter and a a sensitive Geiger-Counter would be enough to zero in. Judging the radiation leak that came from the bore hole. Yes he punctured it and it exited the CRT TV behind him, and made that blue light. He was in the beams path so hes Mega Dead.
If he reacted that quickly from it its a system shutdown. He would have collapsed even if he hadn't turned around. Check for radiological containment units nearby and youll have your answer that way too. Assuming they know
there was no crt tv, that was ai upscaling, the original shot does not have a screen of any kind
in earlier videos of his basement there’s a TV in there for sure
Are you sure, there was another video too of the TV, and that was the Live footage right where the TV is is where the light seems to glare.
Could’ve just been strong EMF. it messed with an AM radio off his. Just drive around in your car switching stations 😂
Dude like 90% of your info is wrong, James wrong.
No he didn’t puncture it. Didn’t even scratch the surface. Not one cut of metal came off and no there wasn’t a tv. Now stfu
Update:
Just now I called what I believe to be his workplace and asked to speak with anyone high up. I apologized ahead of time and told them there's lot of internet sleuths looking for an individual who appears to have either died or experienced serious medical trouble on a live stream and that all I know is he indicated that he works there.
I gave them a description of a young white man in his 20s who might be kind of slow and not exactly a hyperactive kind of guy. I told them approximately what his work schedule looks like. They asked if they could see the video and I told them what to search up on Youtube and warned them that it's paranormal in nature but hoax or not he has got a lot of people looking for him.
They took me seriously and said they will try to get to the bottom of it. But I didn't ask their name or give mine and I used *67 to call so there's no expectation to follow up with me personally. I warned that although I'm more of a concerned skeptic, there will probably be other people with other beliefs and motivations calling the store and probably even going there in person to look for him. So they understood all the ways it's important to get ahead of this and find James or rule out that he doesn't work there.
Thank you. And much respect for taking the time to reach out to them.
Thanks for doing the call. I think it's hard to stumble upon the original video with the search bar, as everytime I tried I just got all the youtubers reactions and other trash, so idk how likely is they're gonna find it. Did you tell them at any point that his names was James? Did you get a confirmation of any kind?
I told them to search "james opening today" and that he says his name is James but that could be a fake name and that the channel name is James and that it was a live stream.
It's the type of place where a lot of people work and I wouldn't expect any random employee to know another random one on a different work schedule. But when this person asks around, I think they will be able to figure out who James is. They did say they there's someone they could think of who fits the description who acts "quiet" or keeps to themselves, but that doesn't mean that's James. Also they confirmed that his work schedule lines up with their scheduling which to me further confirmed that's the right place.
That's great! Thanks a lot for taking the time to further advance this.
Thank you
It was deleted from my search history today. Went to watch it again and I swear on my life it was gone and I had to search for it to even find it. Not seeing it in my history shook my wife and I as we both watched it several times yesterday on the app, on my phone and signed in as usual. Never had that happen before
Good on you, man. That was a very level headed way to go about it.
thansk for the update. this dude has to be exposed
That’s great! Good job! 👍
You just got a personal shoutout on his most recent video lmfao. Even used the word “sleuths”
You guys I hate to ruin your fun but
Did anyone read the letter on one of his videos
It says to bring it to his “appointed emissary”
lol that’s not the right word, it’s clearly larping
Please tell me who you’re local “appointed emissary” is lmao
Emissary: “Like missionaries, emissaries are sent on missions. However, emissaries are more likely to be representing governments, political leaders, and nonreligious institutions, and an emissary's mission is usually to negotiate or to gather information. So a president may send a trusted emissary to a war-torn region to discuss peace terms. A company's CEO may send an emissary to check out another company that they may be thinking of buying. And a politician may send out an emissary to persuade a wealthy individual to become a supporter.”
You think that was a real letter from a secret government agency printed on regular paper?
“Appointed emissary” it doesn’t even make any sense. Clearly a hoax to mess with the world
Anyone could have put that in his mailbox to mess with him. And it's not noteworthy or worth paying attention to because we just need to know if he's alive.
If he is then its a hoax. If he's dead then this was real.
Good work !
Any updates?
So he didn’t show up to work or what?
these are some pics sto help him identiify: https://i.postimg.cc/nrxQ190k/rdgw63zff6.png
That literally opened porn around the image. Cheers mate
It's only one picture

I feel like we should be able to find these buses, I looked in the surrounding Medford Wisconsin area all night last night and couldn’t find em..still looking
That Rainbolt guy finds everything in no time. Bet he could tell you!
i don't think the medford Wisconsin area makes sense, in one of his videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC2b-EaSZ0s) he's driving east on i29 at 44.89496496971679, -89.5622134485629, saying he hopes to make it home before sundown. it appears to be roughly midday with the shadows being cast from the south. There would be no reason to be on i29 at this point if he lived in medford.
I found the location of that video...
Wisconsin State Highway 29 Eastbound at mile marker 175 just outside Weston, WI.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/w1azkDckwCwL4JhU7
The Internet is wild....
Well done, robot. 🤣
TIL Wisconsin has legal cannabis.
In the second OMW home update after polomo it's dusk he's almost home he passes a blue sign right side high prime cannabis a Michigan chain, works in green bay lives in Michigan doesn't come home for work. This tracks with magnet, pen and 4 hours to casino with friends

I can't either any more, I was convinced based on the bill board, 4 hours from casino. Now that I have a mile marker and road shield East bound wi-29 on a road that leads to Michigan either north or SE of i90 coming into madison

Same shield
https://highprofilecannabis.com/ lists their locations, could be far away but I'm in se wisco to for past 12 years I see these signs at borders with legal states. But never this specific one. Wi-29 has this combination of signs somewhere aprox 1-2 hours from his house based on arrival time I tube on carpet video after presho sd
[deleted]
Very likely the billboard was located on Wi-29 east
those are hay carts for the fields they are not busses. That makes no sense that 3 busses be sitting in the field 3 hay carts for tractors to pile hay makes more sense !
There actually is a farm near me that has 3 old busted school busses in a field. Next to a pair of empty shipping trailers and a random subway car. Farmers collect weird shit sometimes
Im telling you for a FACT that they are hay carts for having been close to one that is the same as these for over 10 years lol . the hay cutter goes in front of it and has a "snow blower style" spout that shoots the hay that is fresh cut into this. Its then square bailed with another machine later !
My first thought looking at those was that they are hay wagons covered with tarps. I agree that those are most likely hay wagons due to the single cross member going horizontally and the solid lower gate. The date of the video posted also confirms this would be late hay season and probably second or third cutting hay that is drying out prior to stacking.
In a different thread someone says hes from Hayward WI, in this video it sounds like hes just leaving for work so where ever he is on the road I'd bet its not far from where he lives
I know exactly where this is
Awesome!!! Can you provide a maps pin or some coordinates?
HWY 10. If my memory serves me, this is in-between Osseo and Neillsville.
I called and nobody picked up, which isn't surprising at 1am. But others have figured out the same info already so by tomorrow he'll either have to come clean or we'll find out something actually happened to him
Any update?
Keep us updated! Ive been worried about his well being. 🙏
Awesome efforts across the board! We just want to make sure he is safe!
oh he's dead.... we hear his bowels drain out over 30 minutes and no breathing
At 1am dumbahhhh-
[deleted]
Updates?
Update??

He posted on his channel again… likely a hoax
[deleted]
One of his videos says he had to drive at 30 minutes to home after work. He may have been driving for 5-15 minutes already.
He also said he was just finishing a shift at about 5:30 AM.
If he worked in fabrication with metals his hands would be beat up. They are not.
[deleted]
Still. When I worked with my hands they looked like I worked with my hands. And I never wore rings. Too impractical.
It's compelling no doubt. Very compelling.I've seen some other people say Marshfield as well. If someone figures out who he is or where he works they should definitely call the cops to do a wellness check on him.
Fuck, smartest answer i all the subreddit.
/closed
he did state he lives about 3 hours away from a casino he was going to stay at with friends
there's a James who works for AG Farm Credit Services and lives in that area. About 40 years old similar look to the reflection

He has a very recognisable voice and tone. If this blows up further he will be outed pretty soon. People going to be mad.
Keep us informed
Is anyone else alarmed at how easily random internet strangers can find out where you live and work from a few videos with no intentionally identifying information?
Yes and no. On one hand obviously it could be dangerous. On the other hand it's amazing how quickly people can come together and piece info together.
That said, I believe every piece of identifiable info was given out on purpose. He was careful 99% of the time to hide things. The other 1% I think was intentional. I think this is a treasure hunt
Fair enough.
No he was quite careless actually, especially in the earlier vids. People making this guy out to be this master genuis who planned things out when the whole thing that makes him even a shred of credible is how inept he is. An every day simple man type dude.
There’s literally a subreddit to do so. It’s a trip for sure.
you should google rainbolt
Very nice, we need to know.. Good job and keep us Updated here..I'm new to Reddit so I can't post comments until I have 1000 karma in certain groups 😞 here its perfect 😀
Yes!! This has been so annoying for me today.
Woah, yeah I mean if you’re sure then I’d definitely call tomorrow.
Is it in Wisconsin? I found out he's in Green Bay Wisconsin area in one of his videos.
Yes, and it is in that area. Others are probably right behind me in figuring this information out. He gives out more than enough clues to where he works. But I don't know where he lives. Just that it's about a half hour from his job along one long road then he takes a left when the road terminates and there are rumble strips leading up to that intersection and a possible gas station on the corner. But that intersection would only get you 10 minutes out from his house with a direction and a rough idea of what the property layout might look like.
If you call tomorrow please keep us posted.
Could we use the info to find the crash site too?
Not sure if this helps but I pinpointed an area he is in in one of his videos:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FindJames_Cylinder/comments/1oyewv1/james_is_in_wisconsin_green_bay/
I came to he same conclusion from the info I found too
I figured out where he works too. I'm glad I'm not the only one so I don't have to make that awkward call. Any news yet? keeping my eye on the local police logs. I'm not sure that will help if he lives in an adjoining town from his job but it might be worth a shot trying to look for something
Arguably. A 30 minute perimeter and a a sensitive Geiger-Counter would be enough to zero in. Judging the radiation leak that came from the bore hole. Yes he punctured it and it exited the CRT TV behind him, and made that blue light. He was in the beams path so hes Mega Dead.
If he reacted that quickly from it its a system shutdown. He would have collapsed even if he hadn't turned around. Check for radiological containment units nearby and youll have your answer that way too. Assuming they know
That’s not how radiation exposure works. Even massive exposures take a few minutes.
!remindme 1 day
If it was a 1:2 hour from his house, why does he go to to work for 5 days at a time?
I worded that wrong. I meant he lives at least about a half hour from his job. Could be 90 minutes. I'm not sure why he says he's going to work "for the week", or for days at a time, that part doesn't make sense to me.
Someone matched his car up to be a Toyota Rav 4...
Is he not on linkedin at that location? I mean you could call the polixe and give them the work address and name and ask them to do a welfare check?
There is no known or visible residential address connected to James at this time. Police are only available typically by county and jurisdiction. We need to figure that out first before making any phone calls to provide a welfare check.
There are details indicating he is in-or-around New Mexico, Wisconsin, and/or Nevada. I think he drives between these states for work and sometimes to stay with family.
I don't think I agree. Just say you think you saw someone injure themselves on a youtube live and give them his youtube address- and vague area let them do the work.
I've firsthand witnessed the failure and lack of response from organizations to do so one too many times. I say that having served for years government inside the US military. You lend even YT too much faith in regards how pressing a "Get them help and support" button to report such is sufficient. I say this to caution you from a painful reality of inevitably witnessing such.
Better this community works together in narrowing down his whereabouts and contacting local EMS or friends/ relatives in regards to James. Don't rest faith solely in institutions taking care of such. This is a liability in their perception.
Please call as soon as they open! Before authorities or MIB threaten them to keep their mouths shut
Why haven’t you updated?
Someone noted on YT that during his previous video to this opening livestream he wasn't due at work again until Monday. So they won't be missing him until sometime tomorrow - maybe afternoon.
Does he work in the Oil and Gas industry, because in feel like he works in natural resources in some way.

he's a donkey
Why do you say that?
I saw him mentioned on James’s channel
[deleted]
Yep. And he gets super defensive when people call him out on his bad shit. Like some Facebook post claimed to have found this guy and true or not he was getting all up in it trying to compare 2 really low quality photos and was inciting his viewers to be like yeah this is him we found him, while he probably doxxes someone who is actually not involved.
Like be eager about shit sure, but let’s not dox people over our ufo boners.
He’s a donkey because he lives where I live. And he makes us all look like country bumpkins. Plus what he calls Aussie humour is just him being a cunt. Not actual Aussie humour. My 2 cents. Ymmv.
Gotta agree. From the same town as him and some of the stuff he says is being a knob for the sake of being a knob. As in being politically incorrect in a 4chan kinda way to be edgy. I do like some of his content. Sometimes he carries himself well and sometimes he is salty af when people don’t agree with him.
oh 100%, he makes some decent stuff but yeah 100% on the money you are.
What's he discussing ? Saw it posted when I woke up
Going over all the videos trying to figure out where he lives etc. Seemed to find him on Facebook from 2019 and possibly where he lives/ lived. etc I sti=opped after 3 hours

No thank you. Although the link is displayed, most are extremely skeptical of pressing on a link, especially with no context. Fyi
Wow your paranoid, you’re right don’t click it P
So if he's in Wisconsin did he lie about finding it in Las Vegas desert? Bc he drove home in like 2 hours?
Las Vegas to Wisconsin is only about 26 hours... something isnt adding up becahse hw drove home from desert in a few hours supposedly and no mention of needing to take a flight?
Almost as if this whole thing is fake
Did anybody here read the letter and think that a secret 3 letter organization would give him a letter on regular unofficial paper that says
“Bring this to your appointed emissary” that’s not even the right word it makes no sense
Tell me who your local “appointed emissary” is lol
Emissary: “Like missionaries, emissaries are sent on missions. However, emissaries are more likely to be representing governments, political leaders, and nonreligious institutions, and an emissary's mission is usually to negotiate or to gather information. So a president may send a trusted emissary to a war-torn region to discuss peace terms. A company's CEO may send an emissary to check out another company that they may be thinking of buying. And a politician may send out an emissary to persuade a wealthy individual to become a supporter.”
Yes I think its all fake, think I putted him on discord last night but others are agreeing, the account did admit it then went silent along with a few others.
I need to know the truth if he's alright either way, did you find anything more?
“Appointed emissary” lol it was over as soon as I read that, come on now
What are you on about??
His “letter from MIB” instructed him to return the artifact to his “appointed emissary”
I think the word James was looking for was embassy, but that would make 0 sense either
It’s an ARG, he trolled everyone
Read the letter, you can’t believe it’s real after
I've been saying its all fake from the start 🤦

Any update OP?
OP needs to update us or we cannot take this as fact at all. It would be easy for someone to say they found out where he works without proof. So until proof of life or an obituary can be produced this is all false and make believe. Please keep that in mind when reading posts like this.
