[Possible ARG] ItsComing http://www.itscoming.us
Anyone have any info on this site? It has a countdown timer and a bunch of clues about some kind of machine, but other than that, I can't find anything.

The radio in the boat also has a news story of a strange pulsating orange light that appears in the same spot in the sky???
The picture next to te shed appear to be: a tire and skid marks. Not sure about the other 2.

The blueprints appear to be some kind of electric (or possibly hydraulic) drive and articulated chassis for a tractor or loader. Interesting design for a semi-independent suspension system. It's likely fairly big based on the notebooks comment about the noise it made. How that ties with the news story, I have no clue.
Then again, maybe it's small enough to fit in a mini-storage unit, based on the registrant of the site.

The countdown takes us to Monday 15th 00:00hrs I think. Doesn't match film release dates, which tend to be a Friday, possible TV link?
BTW I've only found 4 blueprint pieces so far, are all 6 there?

Hrm...eerie., if not outright impolite being that I don't care for being growled at as doors from old sheds get slammed in my face. Either way it looks like it could be fun and very timely considering the season (and my personal favorite at that...at least until Christmas comes around )
Monday at 12:00am, Tuesday morning, is the day new records are released (in North America at least) so maybe that's our tie-in, unless there's a new TV show debuting that same day. Either way, they've got my attention. How was this sight found?
BTW: I also only found 4 blue print pieces.

I seriously love this site. Bizzare and strange and really really beautiful, in a way. I've found four pieces of the blueprint so far- where are they all?

I also only found 4. I think thats all we are suppose to get right now. I bet we'll get at least one when the countdown is over. Looks really interesting, amazing flash, just stunning. I'm kinda excited for whatever this is.

Wow! Amazing site, how did you find it?
The blueprints definitely show some form of rear attachment for a tractor or truck. Judging by the pictures, its a tractor. The only odd thing about them is that doesn't look like an axle on the attachment, it looks like an electric motor. Note that there is no break line, so it probably isn't an exploded view of an axel. Judging by the area, the photos, and the context of the blueprints, I'm guessing its a tiller.

This is an awesome piece of flash work
Also, there's an old diary by the pond that's talking about building a "machine" that's really powerful. Hmm, I wonder what that could be

the classic part is from a fort minor song"believe me" track 10 on there first cd but im pretty sure there just using a sample for the song could be wrong though and im not to sure about the other one sounds kinda like crystal method or the chemical brothers but again im probably wrong...

Why not? There's an ARG for perfume.
Video hosted off Akamai? Someone is spending some serious cash for this one.
