Was just playing around with all the pictures... something disturbed me in the congratulations pic, it was the "golden fog". it seems to me as if this is a shadow or something.

Playing around (Flipping, greyscale, etc) with this picture, it became more and more clear.
Comparing it to the America power supply problem picture, i recognized, that the shadow in the cong pic seems to have exactly the shape of america.
(Have a short look at the attachements)

So it is possible, that the "Congratulations" is dedicated to those who made this happen and that it is meant ironically.

another idea:

think of the stars and the american flag... maybe .... it shows us the american flag...now the question is: congratulations to WHO? America?

Congrats!

ODEON. nice Find.

If you notice in the Congrats pic, there is a white star under the R in congrats. Over lay the pictures and that white star should point to something or somethings. Have to find out if the star points to something in the middle of the star or the points of the star correspond with the map.

Okay,

1st
actually we have to find out, what this photo of america means. It s NOT a picture of the power supply breakdown, because if I remember correctly cities like NY, Chicago etc. were without any power and on the photo, we see, that these cities HAVE Power!
The whole northern countries arewithout any lights...

2nd
I made an overlay of the congratulations pic, the america pic AND a screenshot of the map given on www.metacortechs.com.

Interesting point:

The cong pic seems to have nothing to do with this(maybe a hintto take a closer look ?)
The only office of Metacortechs which is still lighten is the one in chicago... one more hint to chicago....

We do know that this image was not produced purely for our benefit ... someone created it post-blackout (sometime around August 20th?) and it depicts just New York state having no power. Check out this site that does a nice job of debunking that image and how it was created:

Well, that's actually the normal state of affairs Smile That same site mentioned above shows you an unaltered NASA image (Earth at Night) http://www.cen.uiuc.edu/~tdelling/earthlights_dmsp_small.jpg and there isn't much call for electric light up there in the North, eh? The moose and bears do all their reading by candlelight Laughing I've spent more time in the Canadian North than most folks, and on the level, there aren't too many people up there ... heck, once you hit permafrost, there aren't any roads, and few settlements large enough that they generate enough light at night to be seen on this sort of image..

Chicago

Maybe chicago will be the next location to start listing people. A clue to tell us to keep a check on it.

I think that picture is of the US at night. Basically the light noise that is produced or what it looks like from space at night.

I'm assuming no one thinks that the Congratulations is a US flag picture. I'm not American, but I didn't think there were 70 stars on that flag.

You be correct.

Some brain diareah ideas:
"Congrats! "
Pic Horzintally flipped, the dense gold dots corespond to
"Earth at Night" Picture
White Star in middle (Lack of Gold Dots) points to something on map.

Other than that, what do we have?

The ticket attached to the sheismissing pic found in ormond's metadex has something to do with Illinois, right? I'm not from the US, but isn't that the state where Chicago is?
