AdminEngineerMar-06-2012 5:20 PMWith 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!

MemberOvomorphMar-08-2012 7:26 AMSo 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?

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 5:45 PMHaving 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

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 5:47 PMWow - 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!

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 5:49 PMI'm thinking it's latitude/longitude, somewhere on earth... Not space that we should be looking for!

Ender
MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 5:50 PMCant be Cassiopeia, thats always in the north celestial pole rotating around Polaris, this star is south of the equator

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 5:51 PMSorry 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.

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.

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 6:15 PMCould 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.

Mr.J
MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 6:21 PMIt's morse code...it pings and then goes long...just like morse code does. I am looking up the Morse Code Key right now.

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 6:35 PMmy Mother's deciphered part of it.. it doesn't look like an S.O.S.
:P

Ronster
MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 6:46 PMjust had a look and it's not SOS your right that would be too easy aswell... Does it loop from the flash in the background?

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 6:47 PMyou can view the light and dark frame sequence by loading the gif into Photoshop and viewing the animation - if that helps any

Mr.J
MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 6:51 PMThe secret link leads to the map room....perhaps Weyland has found it...
[url=http://www.prometheusnews.net/movie/viral-mystery-1-solved/]Your text to link here...[/url]

Facehugger
MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 6:52 PMIt is the WOW Signal - look it up on Wiki - the code for the signal was 6EQUJ5 and if you add that to the end of www.weylandindustries.com/6EQUJ5 you get sent to a lovely high Rez of the map room. well done ASDF you are a super sluth!

Mr.J
MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 6:53 PMPretty sweet, can't wait to see what comes out tomorrow or during the night...great job ASDF! Sherlock Holmes would be jealous...

Chris
AdminEngineerMar-06-2012 7:11 PMYes, great detective work ASDF! I've made a mention of your find on the homepage! Quite incredible!

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 7:19 PMI 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

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 8:00 PMThe 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?

Mr.J
MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 8:04 PMI 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...

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 8:33 PMWell I was able to register with the site... did anyone else do that? They just sent me an email that said I was registered... I feel like a kid waiting for a secret detective decoder ring in mail....

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 8:39 PMThis is so funny, I was just on www.planethunters.org learning to find planets... lol.

craigamore
MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 8:58 PMI 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....

It's that same circular structure

MemberXenomorphMar-06-2012 9:26 PMHey 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
