Unsolved Atlas Mystery Documentary Thumbnails
A three-page 1280x720 thumbnail series on grainy near-black with a cream Gloock serif case name top-left (DYATLOV PASS, LOST COLONY, FLANNAN ISLES), a signal red Inter Tight year and red case tab, and an ochre topographic contour map with a faint graticule on the right marked by a red crosshair with bearing ticks and real coordinates. Archival, tense and editorial without gore, each episode keeps the map and type system and moves the crosshair, coordinates, case name and year.
