 		Things that make me go, hmmm...
The following viral blog may explain a lot of things:

http://1-18-08.blogspot.com/2008/01/experince-day-in-life-of-ymr-yoshida.html

Now, after reading all that - just focus on the last part of the last paragraph.

And if my memory serves me correctly one of the things posted on the TIDO site was something about Tagruato feeding people their garbage. I don't think they meant media garbage. I think they actually meant bio/genetic research left overs. IOWs "Slusho" is just the by-products/waste of Tagruato's bio-engineering research. Kinda like, "I won't eat it. You eat it. Hey, we'll get Mikey to eat it. He eat's anything!" Well, in this case, maybe the USA is percieved as a "Mikey".

Or maybe Tagruato was trying to by-pass informed consent by producing and marketing "Slusho" as a beverage.

Or,

If you go to Ganu Yoshida's facebook account it lists, under schools, he majored in Oceanography and minored in Meatorology. I think these implies he is looking to the seas AND the skies for answers/products.

Anyway, I don't think Tagruato was ever drilling for oil. I think that was a front they used for their illegal deep sea bioengeneering research.

Now, about that atomospheric bioengeneering... ... I also think the ChimpanzIII satellite was specifically sent into space for the sole reason of being exposed to/picking up new non-earthly micro-organisms for "mining" or harvasting new bioengeneering/pharmacudical purposes.

Somehow it malfunctioned and reentered our atmosphere, (and ocean), unexpectedly - NOT at the programmed time or re-entry sight for designated retrieval. Unfortunately, it fell too close to the "Slusho" mining platform and a little over 3 weeks later... ...voilia - a man made/scientifically created half terrestrial half non-terresterial not-so-primortial ooze developed and the Slusho "sea nectar" excellorated the evolutionary process.

Tagruato knew this was a catastrophic possibility and that was they began frantically searching for the fallen satellite. But - they were too late.

Anyway, that's my theory theory for the origins of the monster and the setup for CF2.

Thoughts anyone?

 		First of all I would like to welcome you to the forums!!!

Okay now for the other part.... one the US wouldn't be Tagruatos guinea pig for slusho...for the drink already has a popular sect... being japan. Where it happens to practically sells itself... secondly the monster... according to abrams and revves, the moster supposed to be pretty old... originating from the sea... and not accidentaly man made...other than that everything else seems some what clausable...

P.S. a much hotter Einstein I presume.... LOL!!

 		There is no oil at Chuai, according to the IG whistle blower. Please use search, it's highly doubtful that any theories haven't been thought about

 		The Chuai station wasn't built for oil. the whistleblower showed us documents showing that all of Tagruatos stations produced oil EXCEPT for Chuai. Oil is their primary business, after all.

Chuai was built because something else was there. It's the most expensive of the stations, and has the most personel.

And from the tapes of its destruction.. we see more private army and scientists than platform workers. (not oilmen, since no oil)

Tagruato already had sources of DSN (I suspect many of their stations do dual duty on this) since they've been making the rejuvanative and addictive Slusho for some time.

So either this station was put on a huge DSN source with no oil around, or (to justify the biggest station ever) or there is something else there.. Say.. MGP.

Or both, finding out that MGP is in fact the source of the DSN somehow.. and if there is DSN in many of the deepest parts of the ocean.. either theres more of him or he (or ancestors) used to get around.

Minor nitpick.... Japan is actually Mikey in your scenario, they've been drinking slusho for quite a while.

 		Hey - nitpick away
I don't take it personally. I don't claim to be an expert at any of this. There are so many people who know so much more about it than I do. So, if my facts aren't straight - please feel free to explain things to me. In fact, I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks

Questions:
1) What is 'ARG'
2) What is 'SBN'
3) Wheres the 'blowing whistle dude that sent out 2 sonar images'
4) Is there really another thing that falls behind Beth's head?

Im sure you all are right! These are all awesome theories from what I know! I just wanna figure these things out. I saw the movie for the second time, today. And I am still unclear on somethings. But I didnt even notice something that falls behind Beth's head, although, im sure there is. The one piece that falls into the water is sooo clear though. haha. But yeah, what is the relevance of the pieces of the satellite and the monster, and everything, and how theyre all connected? can someone please answer that? Thats the major thing im unclear on! please and thanks!


1. Alternate Reality Game
2. Seabed Necter
3. Shopping at a Target.
4. No. Read my earlier post.

Go to cloverfield.despoiler.org, man.

Oh, and, welcome! (2nd welcome of the night, woohoo!)

Thank you sooo much!

 		In reference to the OP - I like your theories a lot. One little thing though, didn't the whistle blower work on Chuai? How could he have access to Coast Guard sonar images?

Or am I totally wrong?

 		I'm pretty sure the SBN is a naturally occuring substance, rather than being created by Tagruato... They may refine it but I don't think they actually produce it...

Maybe the whistleblower has a high-up position in Tag, who's to say.
I mean, he has company intake estimates, perhaps the Sonar images are of something strange coming near Chuai and they were sent to Tag to inform them/warn them that something was toying with their rig, or coming somewhat close. Being that the rig isn't doing what it's "supposed" to do (get oil), Tag would most likely think someone was trying to find out what exactly was going on.
I think it would make more sense if he were just some company exec.

Though I might be missing a piece of information that places him at the Chuai rig. If I am, lemme know. Plox.

 		Ancient AND a newborn?
I still think the monster is a mutation. I think parts of his DNA/genetic code is ancient but as a newly developing lifeform he is a "baby".

I still think seabed nectar is primordial ooze, biowaste... ...or a combo of both.

 		Well presented summary of your theory.

Only thing I noticed was the oil thing, mentioned already.

Nice theory, but abrams said that the monster has been down in the ocean for thousands of years. It couldn't have just recently descended upon earth.

This is the only link to Ganu i could find on facebook...
It looks to me like just a summery of Tags' pages...
While your theory holds some interesting proposals, is it wise to to promote OOG fansites as a literall example, even if the info is, or not correct...?
