It seems, for the most part, these footnotes are to other resources that this story finds itself interwoven into. The exercise spawned more questions than answers; however, the endeavor did reveal additional bits of Famer lore and other interesting Farmer resources. See, for instance: Aliens Among Us!, The Thoan
