pic concept

New picture is up!

Since this one definitely shows an army type guy I wonder if that was one in the last smoke filled picture after all.

They aren't giving us much to go on in this one again.

i gotta bug out, but if somebody is looking for something easy to verify, here you go.

we have 4 pics, turn them upside down, right down the numbers (time stamp, upsidedown & backwards) and plug them in as latitude, longitude. w/ 4 numbers you should be able to draw lines and find an intersection...

again, just a thought, and wont take too much time.

How exactly do you convert the timestamps into lat and long?

so 1:24 am becomes . . . 42.1 degrees?

Yay!!!

Observations:

1. Well at least pic 4 a.k.a. known as "A Bone" wasn't some vague shit like a shadowy door frame and part of a leaf. It's pretty clear (I would imagine but with the wild stuff, never can tell) that it's the timeline of events on 1-17 and 1-18....and still no sign of the 4 horsemen, Godzilla, the flying nun, or Cthulu....

I'm going out on a limb here and suggesting A G A I N that there's no hidden shit, whatever the clues are they are in plain sight with what is being presented in a real time fashion. Just cause we don't know (yet) what it's pointing at doesn't mean it's ok to just run off the deep end on arbitrary associations. ("she has webbed fingers" was on the other thread. I shit you not).

2. We were "both" wrong about the 6 pattern on the release of pic 4. They slipped us a curveball....no 18th pic but a 20th pic. Doesn't mean there's not some number pattern to the releases, but it doesn't appear anymore that it's in increments of 6 days.


3. Last night the slusho dreams returned....I kept seeing

www.slusho.zoom.jp

and wanted to hurry and wake up so I could check it but I couldn't wake up. It was like right out of Waking Life Laughing For the record, I did check it...it was a dud. Rolling Eyes

4. Haven't checked slusho yet...let me be surprised.


5. YAY at least they're on it now.


EDIT:

6. They're doing this on purpose. I leave 1-18 up and check periodically. But the last time I Xd out they added the 3rd one. Today I decided not to bother. And sure enough. Rolling Eyes They're waiting til my IP is gone from the logs before they add one....it's a conspiracy! ahhhh!!! Laughing


and for you slow ones, that was sarcasm.

yup, if you go to google maps, you can put 21.2 36.2 in, and it will show a place on the map.

watch out for the 6 & 9 issue, might need to try both ways

Just curious....

Why are ya looking for degrees or Long/lat?

Do you have some idea what it would be pointing to if it was? Otherwise once they've all been turned into coordinates ya still have no idea what to actually do with them. Did I miss something?

the original suggestion was...we have 4 pics, thats 4 sets of points...2 points = a line, 2 lines should equal an intersection...and intersection is a point on a map to look at. could be a roof top in google earth, could be in the middle of an ocean...could be, i need to drink 8 or 10 more beer

I posted this on the 1-18-08 thread, but I thought it was more appropriate for here:

On the shot of the NY1 news room, you can see NY1 12:32 63 degrees. We've all agreed that this seems unseasonably warm. I wondered about this. What is given in hours and minutes and degrees?

ASTRONOMICAL COORDINATES! Right Ascension and Declination! Right Ascension is given in hours and minutes and is the "left-right" across the sky. Declination is given in degrees and is the "up-down." There IS an astronomical object at these coordinates: NGC 133 is at 63 degrees and at 00 31 12 I'm looking for a connection but I've had too much "real" work to do! Cool

I made this connection when I saw the TELESCOPE on Rob's roof top...

regarding the dates for the pictures, IF this timeline is correct--

7/4 first pic
7/7 second pic
7/12 third pic
7/20 fourth pic

then they're following a fibonacci series:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 ...

so i predict we'll get a new pic 13 days from now, or 8/2.

if those dates are not correct, well then, maybe they're just messing with us.

Actually, previous posts indicate the first pic was posted on 7/3, and the second on 7/6. Others have looked for a pattern in the posting timeline, but to my knowledge no one has been successful in predicting the date of the next one. Good try with the Fibonacci numbers, though!

I keep thinking there's something to be had in orienting the pics in just the right way. Maybe they're like tumblers in a combination lock - line them up just right, and it opens up something that takes us to the next level. The hard part is figuring out what that orientation should be. Maybe the clues are in the times of the pics.

A question for those who have examined the 1-18-08 source code: Is it possible to tell if the random-number aspect applies to the movement of the pics, or just to the initial placement when the site is launched/refreshed?
