It is common knowledge that the Titanic hit an iceberg and that it was human error that caused the tragedy... well, at least that is what the government wants you to think! I have spent years searching for the Truth, and dear reader, I have finally found it. From documentation that was salvaged after the Titanic sank, it is evident that the ship's orchestra performed Mozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" shortly before the ship ran into trouble. Now, it is well known that Mozart's music is alarmingly effective at attracting aliens (oddly, it is just as effective at attracting zebras in the wild, which explains a lot, but let's leave that for a different time). Clearly aliens landed on the Titanic, bamboozled the crew to the extent that no-one was steering the ship anymore, which explains why the Titanic was so far off-course when it hit the ice-berg.
Which brings me to something else I have discovered... I was researching strange deaths over the last few decades when I came across sketches, incorrectly filed, of the Eiffel Tower. However, these sketched were unusual in the sense that they were holographic, and had scribblings in the margins in a language I have never laid eyes on. I found the particular sketches when reading up on the death of Bruce Lee, and after a bit of digging, it transpired that Bruce Lee took a short trip to New Mexico in the first week of May 1973. Where he went exactly is anyone's guess, but tantalisingly, I found a motel which housed a guest who signed in as "B. Lee" and stayed for the evening of 6 May 1973. The Motel was located in Roswell, New Mexico. The next day Lee returned to Hong Kong, and we all know what happened next... But that's not all - I also discovered that in the beginning of 1994, Kurt Cobain became extremely interested in the Eiffel Tower, taking several trips to Paris. In late March he mysteriously altered Nirvana's tour plan to hold a concert in Las Vegas on April Fool's Day of that year. Four days later he "committed suicide". I think it is interesting to note that Las Vegas is a stone's throw from Area 51. There's something about the Eiffel Tower that someone doesn't want us to find out... but luckily for you, dear reader, I have toiled and risked everything to uncover the Truth. However, lest I end up like Lee and Cobain and the Truth is lost forever, I have hidden the documents containing irrefutable proof of extraterrestrial involvement in the Eiffel Tower's construction somewhere south of Grahamstown. If you want to find out what the government has been covering up all these years, go find the large container with the doucments at the following coordinates:
S 33° 20.(Zebras + Titanic + Aliens + Mozart)'
E 026° 30.(Roswell + Kurt Cobain + Area 51 + Bruce Lee + Eiffel Tower)'
Note: This is an in-the-field puzzle. You must go to the listed coordinates to be able to solve the puzzle. This is also a literature themed cache, so bring a second-hand book along to trade, especially if it's a book featuring aliens. Otherwise any swag related to the words in colour will do.
