Hidden Codes From Weyland Industries

With the constant updates on their viral marketing website, there are more and more theories arising. As many of you may have already seen on the "ABOUT US" page on WeylandIndustries.com, there is an evident "blinking" star in the lower left hand corner. When checking the source file and CSS dtylesheet for the webpage you can see the image is called "/img/findme.gif". Can anyone spot a star consolation that this blinking star is located in? Is there any evidence in this image that can be pulled to further expand our knowledge of PROMETHES? Also, I've read that the blinking star is a form of code. Like binary, or Morse code and blinks in a specific rhythm. A few forums are trying to decode it first, can anyone here lend some time towards solving this mystery? We know we're on the right track because Fox's official Prometheus twitter page "@PrometheusMovie" recently replied to a user talking about de-coding the blinking star and they replied with "You're halfway there...". Post further theories and speculations on the codes embedded in the Weyland Corp Viral Marketing here!

So here is my request to someone with some time on their hands. I think it would be interesting if someone would take the color values (Hex, RGB, CMYK) of each single frame and index them as intensities with white being highest. Then find the duration of each value on the timeline by adding the frame lengths. Looks like each frame is .04 seconds so 4 frames of 255 255 255 would be 1.6 seconds of peak intensity. Do this for every value and plot them against the entire timeline of the gif in a spreadsheet application like excel. Make a graph so what we get is a graphical representation of brightness, duration and the location of that event in time. Any takers?

Having looked at the blinking star its appears to be part of the Cassiopeia constellation which looks like a W in the sky. Not sure if this helps but its a start

Wow - it's gonna be super hard to figure out what that star is, we can take a good guess at the declination but the right ascension is impossible to know without knowing what time of year the pictures meant to be, need to get really hot astronomer on the case that could just recognise the system. Google sky time!

I'm thinking it's latitude/longitude, somewhere on earth... Not space that we should be looking for!

Sorry if this has been posted but if you right click the picture of Earth and then "view selection source" near the bottom is posted this: "Phasellus blandit lobortis risus ut pretium. Praesent rutrum, orci id suscipit pulvinar, mi justo tristique metus, eget ultricies urna sem auctor augue. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Curabitur tincidunt orci eget dui consectetur a cursus felis fringilla. Mauris mollis ornare laoreet.

BH, I have no idea, but what if the blinking star is a throw back to Alien. It could be the same type of distress call from the derelict. This could be Weyland's big discovery of an alien race. Just throwing stuff out there.

Could the beacon be the corporate communication frequency. If you target the beacon precisely and right click then select "send link..." It will try to send an email with the subject "Weyland Industries" and the body contains this link: https://www.weylandindustries.com/ HAHA nevermind I think that is normal for every page ugh I am getting punchy.

I didn't figure it out actually, it was some clever guys on twitter / unifiction forums who decoded the gif into the Wow! signal and found the page. Read about it [url=http://www.prometheusnews.net/movie/viral-mystery-1-solved/]HERE.[/url]

The blinking star's placement seems to correspond to the map room picture as well. There's are several highlighted star areas around the world/globe center and there is a highlighted star approximately in the same place (relative the globe center). Maybe future clues will be broadcast from blinking stars in the other highlighted start areas?

I agree with you BWcivick, I noticed that too. I think each one will represent something, just what? well, I guess we are in store for some interesting things...

I think Weyland just gave up the location of the star map....it's the derelict......look at the circular ceiling structure at the top of our new pic and compare it with this over head view of a derelict sketch....

Hey Sparky, I partially translated the first two sentences of Latin. Its not all Latin though some of it is Spanish. I need to finish the translation to get the whole context of the meaning. Translation: [b]Hidden flattering actions, *lobortis* laughter to pay. *Praesent* shovel, lower world ides take up images of gods where placed, my proper gloomy fear, need *ultricies* urn *sem* grow “*augue*. Class adapt secret society to landing place spin through our marriage, through start marriage. Desires [/b] Um I don't know if you see it but it mentions [b]URN[/b] in the second sentence. Whats in between the stars are untranslated words I have to check them against a few languages to see what they are. I think its also a word cypher on top of the language translation (not to be confused with banana cypher, you know who you are) as you see the sentences skip from society to landing to repeating itself in the same sentence. Regards, Rick

Thanks Variable - very interesting! See the blue light emitting from the top left of the [url=https://www.weylandindustries.com/vid/spheres.mp4]Spheres vid?[/url] Notice how the vid goes all shaky at the end? Possible indication of FTL travel? [IMG]http://i1150.photobucket.com/albums/o612/Nephilim-LV426/Prometheus/Spheres_Time_Travel.png[/IMG]

I was able to isolate a higher res still of the spheres. What do you suppose is in the reflection? Open the attachment in a new tab, it'll be larger. [img]https://www.weylandindustries.com/img/wc_bg-spheres.jpg[/img]

It reminds me of one of those eye tests they give you at the eye doctor but it is a Bladerunner running the test to see if you are an android. Then God blinked and you are an android...Just kidding God doesn't blink so it must be the C. O.M. P.U. T. E.R.

If you zoom in close enough you'll notice all of those spheres reflect the same thing. To me it looks like a corridor with doors on each side. Edit: Although I don't think those reflections are that significant. Maybe we're looking at white android goo that they bleed?
