Hmm intriguing; I'll be lurking this one.
The video is tagged with the following keywords (UEA, United Earth Alliance sound familiar to anyone ?):
ARG Change Powers Convert Republic War UEA United Earth Alliance House Of Flies Lord Test Subject

I did not receive this, but when I saw your post natas, I went ahead and did some searching. When I did a search for the UEA I got quite a few hits for an online sci-fi type game, as well as Babylon 5. But there was one hit that seemed odd to me. www.uea.net. Now at first this struck me as a legitimate organization. But I couldn't seem to find them referenced anywhere else. And many of the links on the site seem to be completely unrelated to an organization of this sort, real or not. Check out the UEA Directory link.
Now, all this searching was done in a hurry before bed, so I'm not positive that I did a complete enough search. Could someone else give that site a look over and see what they think?

Yeah I pretty much foudn the same sort of stuff you did.
For this UAE.net, my $0.02: I think it's a legitimate (not related to the game) organization (old Copyright.. and found other old places online referring to it).

Good. That was my first guess. But as you probably saw the links were all so odd that I started to second guess myself. Unfortunately this leaves us with nothing but the video. Blah. Back to the drawing board.

Yeah, unless they've purposely made the uea.net site look out-of-date, I highly doubt it's related. Of course, the murky mission statement and fact that there's an email entry field does suggest ARG to me.

I really don't think uea.net has anything to do with it. The whois info looked legit and showed the page started in the 90's...
incidentally, I tried inputting my email and only received an error.

re-posting from the spam thread:
I think that UEA site is weird, but not part of the ARG. For one thing, none of the websites look even vaguely ARG-ish. Also, the video appeared to be set in the future.
Has anyone figured out what the guy who "breaks into" the video is shouting?

Apparently, he want to communicate via PM on YouTube. Also, it seems I am his superior because he keeps calling me Sir. Weird. I'm playing the amnesia card on this one.

PHH: Hi
Me: Hello
PHH: Sir, They are at my door step. how should i proceed?
Me: Open the door. Let them have whatever they want.
PHH: They made off with 2 sets of Stg. IV CYRO upgrades.
Me: What exactly is that?
PHH: Sir, are you okay?
Me: no, i'm kind of fuzzy after.... well you know.... right?
PHH: Yes sir. Things are only going to get worse from here. The two upgrades that were stolen will definitely complicate things.
Me: Sorry I have such a fuzzy memory. Those upgrades. Wow, they are very important, huh? Do we have any intel on who might have them?
PHH: Yes Sir, we know who stole them. The UEA. They are important because the UEA can now access any part of our base (Or world for that matter) in the blink of an eye.
Me: Any other intel you can provide me to help our side? Good work so far by the way, soldier!
PHH: NO Sir, I do have a question though, When am i getting transferred out of here? The whole squad was killed last week, and i've been on my own since then.
Me: I'm working on that soldier... How much supplies do you have there? What is your status. I need a no bullshit assessment.
PHH: The base is running at peak capacity, and I have enough supplies to last me through this winter, but I hope I dont have to wait that long.
Me: Hang in there soldier. Your sacrifices now will not be forgotten. I will be in contact whenever you need me. Until then, is there any other information you can provide that might be of assistance to us here at HQ? Anything that might help us get you home quicker?
PHH: No Sir, We haven't seen heads or tails of The Fountain.

Very interesting.
There were definitely parts in the second video that I could understand (or thought I could) I will watch it a bit more and attempt to transcribe what I think he is saying.
