Tried rig_100.jpg to rig_330.jpg and nothing has turned up in case anyone's planning to search it.

I have no life. Confused

If you look at the rig_204.jpg image what has been referred to as subs around the legs of the drilling rig actually look to me like observation decks. They occur at several junctions below the rig on the legs, at regular intervals. I also adjusted the levels on that image and cropped down to show MGP a bit more closely and clearly - and you'll note one leg of the rig is already destroyed. I don't think as someone speculated this is the rig after it was taken down, it's as it's being taken down. The bright light above is the sun.

It looks like they're shooting at Clover underwater. Those paths look like bullet traces, although if they are indeed attacking it's most likely not bullets, missiles of some sort?

Light at the most can only travel 590 meters down into the ocean.

Google Books excerpt from Oceanography: An Invitation to Marine Science By Tom Garrison


Furthermore, it looks like Clover is ramming a piece of the rig into an object, thus creating a massive explosion that is larger than clover itself.

That is most definitely not the ocean floor. Light is absorbed somewhat by the sand on the ocean floor, it wouldn't reflect like that.

However, I don't think it is Clover's skin either. Shouldn't he have a spine?

you so sure its the sun? why couldnt it be the explosion that takes down the rig? maybe tido was using MGP to attack Tag...just a thought...

anyhoo i was looking at the rig_205 picture, and, well multiple things...
ok so in all the theorys ive read in the past few days, the downed satalite doesnt fit in. we need to start thinking of EVERYTING we know and maybe start really putting this thing togeather.

now, the thing with all the lights sorta, looks like a sub but could it be one of the "observation decks" Euchre mentioned? and the sub the picture was taken from was going to retrieve it or the satalite?

ok, now for the real reason i decided to post this... i was looking at the pic and noticed a few strange things or stuff i didnt notice before and others may not have eiter. ya'll all have probably seen it but i had no idea that the little parasite was right up in the camera like that! i didnt even notice it before! also, over to the right of the closest parasite is a little candy-cane shaped thing, what is it? a parasite leg? i cant tell but if it is a peice of a rig, it helps support my "the thing with big bright lights in the center of the picture is part of the rig" idea. and i was wondering if any explination is given for all the brighter specs? is it just stuff reflecting? i dont know enough about deep underwater stuff to know so anyone with a ocenography degree? oh and has anyone checked any of the less important sites? i checked tag, tido, and 1-18-08 but no updates...

But he's so large it could be a small section of his back, we need to scale reference pictures of Parasite to Clover.

Oh, and who the hell is taking these pictures? Why aren't the parasites noticing them?

This is Atlantic Ocean Floor. Kinda looks like what the little bastards are standing on.

Still, light doesn't normally reflect off of sand deep in water. Unless it's a large rock or something, or sand harden over into a large slab.

Which, in all sense, is completely probable.

EDIT: Wait a second, which ocean is this taking place in?

In the news videos the rig doesn't explode into a Huge fireball.

It may be an Oil Rig, but they aren't mining oil, they're mining the nectar.

I don't question that light isn't supposed to penetrate as deeply as they say, but then a rig that's 3/4 of a mile tall with observation decks that low is also pretty improbably if you want to get into real, applied, non-fictional science. We know that absolute scientific accuracy is not the greatest forte' of the PMs. Wink

If that's not the sun, and it's an explosion, why are all those light streaks coming downward only - nothing is radiating outward like you'd expect. We also didn't see any evidence of explosions in the collapse of Chuai Station, it just crumpled and sunk. Remember this is the underwater side of what we saw in the news clips. We didn't see eruptions of gas on the surface like you get from an underwater explosion.

I just think they failed to get the details of the light and depth right. Remember, they can't even get the calendar right. Cool

"Today, two photos from Cloverfield 2 have emerged from the depths. Is this the sound of the Cloverfield 2 Viral marketing campaign roaring to life? It just might be. Take a look at these black & white photos that seem to show a bunch of baby Cloverfield monsters scurrying across the ocean floor (didn't Abrams say that the original monster was a baby?): "

Dear Christ, I want to strangle this guy.
