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!

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

AdminEngineerMar-06-2012 10:06 PMGreat work again guys! Especially on finding the "Spheres" video in the code of the Weyland website! Can't wait to see what we find next!

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 10:08 PMThanks 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?

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 10:11 PMWhat if they are cells? Like you said, reacting to FTL travel? Pretty cool find man!

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 10:46 PMLooks like maybe the smaller spheres get faster with each of the smaller screen shakes

MemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 10:49 PMI 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.

Veteran MemberMemberOvomorphMar-06-2012 11:16 PMIt 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.

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 12:24 AMIf 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?

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 12:51 AMIve been overlaying some images over the flashing dot just in case and I think that possibly, the flashing star is actually the star from the Zeta 1 Reticuli system which is the system Alien is based in

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 1:03 AMCould be the moment life is created. The shockwave type thing towards the end could be a sort of jump start used to the jockeys, the first steps of life breathed into whatever were looking at. It seems to be fluid like, maybe the goo from the ampoules?

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 1:21 AMsome of the spheres also change color, not sure what thats about

Co-AdminMemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 1:28 AMI..... think they're a bunch of spheres......... For now......... ;-)

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 1:56 AMi still think the FTL idea is probably the best so far

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 2:26 AMGuys, I haven't got the Itunes player!
Can you please upload "Spheres Vid" on YouTube or something else? :)

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 2:30 AMOK, here's a question that I don't think has been addressed - The "planets" in the map room... what are the rectangular looking things orbiting them?
DNA reference files on a 3D interface?
CantSpaceJockTheRock
MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 2:40 AMI'm not sure but has the fact that the blinking from the weyland sites "about us" page matches the location of the planet in the new star map photo? Haven't really looked just noticed it for a second.
Biomechanic
MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 3:11 AMSorry about my post of the strange Latin. I think it was merely [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum]Lorem ipsum[/url] Just random... or maybe not so random words as a placeholder until they add the real content. The text is gone now.
Biomechanic
MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 3:18 AMThink those spheres might just be nanotech under an electron microscope. Maybe David's white blood. I think the chromatic aberrations and jumping is just there for effect. We know Ridley likes video distortion. Think of the shot of the derelict in Alien and the flash frames in the Prometheus trailer.

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 6:34 AMI found some symbols

MemberXenomorphMar-07-2012 5:45 AMHey Bio,
Sorry for the name mix up. Was kinda late last night. Anyways you're probably right about it being Lorem Ipsum with the exception that when using lorem as a place holder you usually tag it as lorem ipsum in the first sentence. Not everyone does tho and I think its really weird that a random fake text generator will put in urns, rapid growth, gods, landing, change, and etc inside the first two sentences of fake text in a movie that is about all of those.
Regards,
Rick

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 7:43 AMNicely spotted Dface! I hadn't noticed those symbols there before. They seem to resemble the hieroglyphs seen on the set below. Interesting detail there.
@ Rick - I don't know if your latin translation on page 2 was actually URN, or if it was meant to actually be CHURN as mentioned in Biomechanic's translation on page 1, or not...but here's a little rearrangement I came up with using *some* of the deciphered words you posted on page 2 -
[b]Through fear, our actions start to adapt hidden urn to grow where secret society of gods take up gloomy landing place.[/b]
There are plenty of similar permutations using your words, but I quite like this one.

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 8:00 AMNice spot Dface. It looks like the space jockey/Engineer version of a rollodex to me.

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 8:24 AMI just lifted the jpeg and adjusted the brightness/contrast. Because we don't know distance to earth as depicted, we no reference to establish the field of view, making constellation id difficult. In any case, IMO this does not appear to be a real starfield being used in this particular piece of artwork. Also, the blinking dot does not appear along with other stars clearly visible in the image.

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 8:52 AMjust thinking... is the hi-res star map image the true goal of this blinking star puzzle? Shouldn't we start looking for another clues and puzzles in that star map image?

MemberOvomorphMar-07-2012 9:00 AMTried to sharpen the image and... get the colours "better" http://i39.tinypic.com/2ew1nav.jpg
