Re: Missing text on Hanso bio

[Mama Moomin]

I could be barking up the wrong tree but do you think the relevant airport codes for the cities could be used (possibly anagrammed)? It's strange that Roma is used instead of Rome, but Roma is actually an airport in Australia and has it's own code (each code being three letters).

Many cities have more than one so it would mean going through the variants, or picking the nearest to the name of the city eg London City instead of Heathrow or Gatwick. Nothing jumps out at me from the combinations of letters I'm getting but someone out there might make something out of it...

OK, newbie here, go easy - I've been lurking for a week because of registration probs...

A couple of thoughts. I'll spoiler them because they include Season 2 clues:

I haven't seen any mention of this anywhere so hit me with the fish if it's already been said

Is it just me or is the d missing from the "sound" at the top of the page. I don't see how it links in yet but it could be important if all of these blanked out bits have to be put together.

Just another comment on the "safe g" theory:

(found out via flash decomp - you know the drill)

[smmarl]

Completely new to this but I'm wondering,
isn't it possible that the morse code is SAFE ME?

The end could be dash dash , dot which is ME
instead of dash dash dot

Depending on how you hear it the F could even be
a morse code typo for V.

Just a thought

Some pretty serious spec here... I looked into Oct. 28, 2003 since it was pretty heavily emphasized. There was a large solar xray event on that day, which piqued my curiousity because I remembered the ERI page had a picture of an ionospheric storm (which are typically caused by solar activity). The date on that picture: Oct. 28, 2001. Weird, but not a typo. Both days had major solar storms. These events can cause disruption in communications signals, producing static... like the kind seen obscuring the dates in today's update. I did a little checking up on those dates, and while some of them had higher than normal solar activity, some were totally normal. Nothing to get excited about, but the two October dates seem significant. Maybe somebody with more experience in this area can follow up with more success.

Checked up on Oct. 28... Columbus landed in Cuba (somebody posted spec. about Columbus related to the TV spot) and the Philadelphia Experiment supposedly took place...

RE: Solar storms on Oct 28, 2001

That date coincides with the point in the itinerary where Hanso goes "off the map".

When Persephone says Alvar "doesn't match anyone else?" - it is a question. Like she is asking us if it does match someone else.

I think the picture looks a lot like Peter Thompson.

As many others are, I am of the opinion that the 01.01.2001 date for Hanso's return to Copenhagen after going offscreen to the north is not a typo, but deliberate. Given the electromagnetic event on that date (also the date in 1943 most frequently ascribed to the Philadelphia Experiment, which has been discussed in Lost circles since the beginning), the implication appears to be that around September of 2001, Hanso flew north, encountered an electromagnetic event on October 28 2001, and when he flew back found himself several months into his own past, landing back in Copenhagen in January 2001 instead of still in October 2001.

That also explains why he takes no trips between that mysterious January 2001 appearance and something in 2002. Between those dates, his normal-timeline self was still out and about in the world, so he, as a time traveler from October 2001, would have been kept under wraps until that October 28 2001 date -- because until then, there technically were two Hansos in the world.
