l00ks like it, but with b & c, (not a & b>like your post in the other thread.)
it would be one letteroff. x=b, y=c. i wonder if this if for just the M and E letters


I checked this out.
If you watch the flying.swf, instead of the flying.html, you can see more letters above and below the frame. There is a lot more than just the B's and C's missing.
But it looks simply like a method of keeping the flash file-size down, by having less going on behind the scene. And it makes me wonder if I am simply remembering the original flash wrong. Those letters really weren't missing when 'Flying' first came out were they?

Agreed... The whole lot of these "clues'n'puzzles" are getting us nowhere.
I'm going back to ground zero and rewriting every note and observation I've made for the past 6 months. Should keep me out of trouble for a few days.

Just incase you wanted to know

I didn't know where i should put this so i put it in the updates thread. I've managed to get a screenshot of the flashing text on the main page. hope no one else has done that or that was a major waste of time trying to press printscreen quick enough. lol

the attachments are all the ones i've found so far.

You're far too late. At least two other people have done this already. Whether we understand what the information is about is of course, another matter entirely

Related to the break-in at Sente's? Presumably "nothing was missing" as Sente had hidden all of his stuff from Earth. Sente is CT!

OK....... So, when the Cube appeared here, something from Earth appeared there, or am I totally misunderstanding that bit? Though it would explain where my favourite T-shirt disappeared to! It does seem too much of a coincidence for this "Earth artefact" not to have been found by whoever broke in.
But it all sounds like the 3P have almost got their grubby mitts on the Cube. Which suggests to me we've missed something in the flurry of updates over the last few days Confused

I agree with you DarkHuman that you can see more in the swf... but it looks like it is really just a byproduct of the "fade effect" on the letters.

If you watch the letters on the top and bottom of the screen and count off the spaces between the last row in the fade and the new letters, its just that the fade effect stops and allows you to see the whole row of letters.

Might be some thing there... but I don't think so...

ok, the other thing that bugs me are the 3 "."'s that got added. they are on the bottom missing line of scrolling letters, on both html & swf.

never noticed that when the DNA letters in groups of 3 show up, when a letter reaches the middle, it pokes out for a bit.
==> also, my moiniter here is so bad that i can't see the "receda's revenge" behind the letters....in......um...letters. yeah. but today i noticed i can't see the shadow letters on that page. is that just my crapy work moniter? thx all.
