Strange Recording of an Engineer talking.(Weyland Industries Viral Call.)

This definitely reminds me the Space Jockey warning in Alien. Damn it, I really would have liked to hear this in Prometheus :p

I'm guessing that it's just something that FOX threw together (i.e. gibberish), but I'm not sure of that at all. I don't recognize any of the words in it from "real Engineer." I wonder, could anyone reverse this (record it playing backwards) and post that here? Something about it sounds a tad "tampered with" to me. Hard to tell "how" tampered with... I'll do my best to decode it, but I can only do that if there's something actually there to decode. ;)

EDIT: I should really read the whole OP before I say anything...my bad man! Here's hoping we can decode the message soon!

Thanks for posting this! Very creepy indeed.

Still can't figure out if the male voice is saying anything in English, or if some of the words are chopped up, but I for sure hear the female voice saying "what did he say?" Which is funny because that is EXACTLY what we're asking. I used to make hip hop beats and mess around with audio editing software, but trust me I'm no expert. I can't seem to figure out what filters to run the audio through in order to understand this better.

This really sounds like a backwards recording to me has anyone tried recording in reverse?

Yes I have reversed it. And I tried alot of other filters cleaning up the background noise, equalizer adjustments,, and pretty much everything else I can think of. Either some of the words are cut off, or it's just a different language.... But like I said I'm no by far no expert, so maybe somebody else can try their hand at manipulating the audio.. Good luck, fingers crossed.

cleaning up the background nose he he he he thanks for trying deft :) cant wait to know what it all means

Haha yea it's 1:30 am and I haven't had much sleep lately,, worked a lot of over time this week so letters are blending together lol. And on that note I'm gonna go to bed before I go insane! Hopefully I wake up and the audio clip is solved!! If not I'll try to add one of my "cleaned up" versions also...

Sounds good..... let your technology and your unconscious sleeping self work on it You MAY have answers in the light of day :) at least you wont have David watching you dream!

so, it's not Alien-related, it's not Engineer-language related. Looks like a [b]cheap[/b] publicity stunt, like the Career video page (with its [b]nasty[/b] narrative inserts). :(

I'm not sure we can say its not related to Alien or the Engineers yet... Shaw would tell you to have faith and David would ask you to wait while he deciphers the coding not that you could completely trust him with the full translation :)

nice one, tankgirl :)

So not only does Weyland Corp target investors(us) but in addition want you to activily create a better world..following Weyland vision. Casual/speculators need not apply. Sounds like a religious cult wanting more from believers.. Also I only see the Weyland name on this notice...THere was so9me talk of a merger with a competitor..

OK. I've slowed it down and reversed it myself. It's not reversed, that is, the language on the call has not been played backwards. Phonologically it's close to this: /owaar gorânt. ide varyu gât gææng gaarzdæng./ It could *almost* be Engineer, but the words /owaar/ and /gææng/ and /gaarzdææng/ seem problematic to me; primarily due to their endings. I might believe /owrr/ instead of /owaar/ but the /gææng/ and /gaarzdææng/ things are really problematic. Of course, the performer could be mispronouncing it... /Ide/ (possibly /ida/ mispronounced) could be a form of "this". And, /g(h)orânt/ could be a valid verb... /varyu(h)/ might also be a valid noun... I don't know... still trying to check. But, for now, don't get your hopes up. At a minimum I think it was something that FOX did as an extra promo thing. I don't believe it relates directly to the story in the film at all...

Interesting stuff, sukkal. I'm a bit disapointed to hear that it might not relate to the film's story, but you can't deny that something's going down here... 10-11-12 can't get here fast enough haha.

Clearly it's a rather big spend on marketing so, yes. *SOMETHING* will be happening on 10-11-12 (CE (North American calendar)). I just don't know if it is another [i]theatrical[/i] release or not... ?? Pray for [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/9011]The Restoration[/url]...

Dude why couldn't it have been a date like 8-21-12 or something closer? 10-11-12 is TOO FAR AWAY! (I kid, of course) But seriously it better be something good...

Whatever it is, it's a *PRODUCT*. Rest assured.

I must say I enjoy the viral campaign that they have done with Prometheus.
