Elusive 3rd image

Thanks for the info Mr. Geocache! I never knew geocaching was so specific. Either way she could not find that 3rd image and had to get back to work. I have lots of pictures of roots but none matched the one in the SSTV picture. So frustrating! Sad

Over two weeks and no updates is a little concerning. Hopefully we'll get some activity again soon.

A new picture

I just received an email with the first photo attached. Some modifications to the brightness, etc. and you get the 2nd picture. And using the number from the picture on the messaging system gives the attached audio file.

A bit bizarre. Going to try to see what the distortion was that was applied to that image. Did you submit the word from that image already?

ETA - looks like just polar to rectangular. Not sure what the original image was though.

ETA2 - looking again, it may be part of a portrait. Also, CTRL+SHIFT+H could be a number of things depending on application, but the one that sticks out to me is that it's a shortcut for History in some browsers.

ETA3 - the audio seems to come from this:
http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/12/10/meet-the-robot-telemarketer-who-denies-shes-a-robot/

ETA4 - on a roll now. LIANE authorized
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
119531
Gives another fill order via Morse. Translating that gives:
CT / 500ML NAPTHA / UM,P / 4.99 / AR


Sooo many edits...
I think we are now starting to get a picture of just what these fill orders might be used to cook up. Depending on what the rest of the cocktail is, could be any number of substances, but doing a little digging, I think it may be something of a psychedelic variety, perhaps even something like this?

fill order
fill order

trying to decipher the meaning of the drug acronyms, i think you hay have something on it being related to DMT cause that is the main thing that comes up with 500ml of Naptha
CT / 500ML NAPTHA / UM,P / 4.99 / AR
from what i believe so far(not super sure) so far CT=carbon tetrachloride, 500 ml naptha is self explainable, UM=uracil mustard(treatment for cancer), P=Phosphorus and that is all I got. Maybe AR=aromatic ring? link for detailshttp://www.chem.ucla.edu/harding/IGOC/A/ar.html

but much more likely for AR could be ammonium chloride AR?

Received two new images. Untwirling the vortex image reveals the bit in the center. Haven't had a chance to work on the light image yet.

I received the same email

I received the same information but wanted to add that the subject of the email read - 菊池 正士‏ which according to Google auto-translates from Chinese to Masashi Kikuchi. I will take a look at the other image later too.

Still need to go back over the most recent items. Are we missing anything?

Had stopped checking & Just when I thought I was out... Laughing there's a new FB image with hidden code unfamiliar to me. Maybe subs to "dialling" in line with their pic?

EDIT: Emailing dialling returned a "NO MATCHING AUTHORISATION CODE FOUND" message. Also, are there any plans to ask them Rarely Asked Questions?

I haven't come up with anything better than that guess so far and haven't had any more insight into the previous images.

On another note, got my ID today - has anyone else received their ID since filling out the form?

I was following this as well, and decided it was about time to get in on it. The last image of the satellite beam was in a Nyctographic alphabet. Deciphering that led to Biarritz, a coastal city in France. Emailing them Biarritz got me my authorization key, which is...

AUTHORISED/
99990000

I read through things, and I'm not really sure about where to go from here. Any thoughts?

Also, my expertise is in audio and language. Since they use "authoriSed", it's very safe to assume whoever is sending out the emails is outside of North America.

Has anyone put together a map of all the locations we've figured out so far? Those islands, and now Biarritz. That may reveal some sort of pattern.
