In April 2005, a cryptic image appeared on the Boards of Canada web page, seemingly referring to this practice.  This image, and another following it, sparked a series of curious events as fans around the world collaborated in an attempt to determine the meaning of the mysterious images amidst red herrings and false clues posted by opportunistic hoaxers.

"It took place by a 16th century Monastery, mostly debris, with a partially Collapsed roof, a truly amazing place... Hidden in the forest, it became a feeling guarded by nature. Occasionally there are as many as a hundred people, this turned into fifty as the bonfire gradually turned to embers and with lights and candles, people came inside the monastery. A mysterious outdoor experience. A perfect place shrouded in western pine." <ref>[[In_An_Imaginary_Place_Out_In_The_Country]]</ref>

A banner ad for http://www.music836.com appears on the xltronic messageboard ([http://xltronic.com/mb/88571/0 thread]).  This site has a pop-up of a kaleidoscopic campfire image with the text "6/6/6" and a short looped background music with campfire sounds.  836 is second smallest weird number.

In a new posted entitled "[http://forum.watmm.com/index.php?showtopic=9462&hl= Farewell.]", Family Photo Album posts another cryptic message.  The post contains the phrase "Answe'''red Point'''edly" (emphasis added) which leads some to believe the party is located at Redpoint.

*June 11 - Xerox, who had initially posted on [http://Twoism.org Twoism] on June 1st claiming that a personal friend was working on a project with [[Boards of Canada]], posts a [http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=637&p=14967#p14967 detailed documentation] of his supposed experiences at Redmoon. Much of which seems to be accurate to other confirmed accounts of what happens at said events. It is still unknown as to whether this is genuine, most seem to be inclined to believe that this is in fact a true account.

In the end, virtually nothing concrete is known about what (if anything) happened on June 10, 2006.  Apart from the strange images posted on the official site, all additional websites, forum posts, etc. were ultimately found to be created by attention-seeking artists and opportunistic hoaxers.  Meanwhile, very little has ever been mentioned or cited on the topic from trusted sources. There are, however, very rare occurrences of more in-depth discussions regarding 'Redmoon Nights' occasionally surfacing in interviews dating back to at least 2002. This would suggest that '[[Red moon|The Redmoon incident]]' is not a stand-alone event.

As it stands, the meaning of the strange images is as unknown as it was in the beginning.
