OH.MY.GOD. Let me start by saying I'm a loooong time lurker of Unfiction. By long, I mean long.
I haven't seen anything about this in the 80+ pages I've read ( I might have missed over it, forgive me if I have) but if you go to Tim Smit's website timsmit.info and click on the small Mushroom cloud at the top of the page you'll get a very... well.. Strange video.
edit: going to clarify on the video

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The video shows a man and his girlfriend touring a bridge when the Tower melts down, birds start dropping from the sky and the tourists noses all start to bleed. pretty friggin creepy.


It's old news ;P

At work right now, so I don't have any tools to check this out.

I got an email earlier from a 'Babel Research Employee Notice', from the email 'babelresearchgroup@gmail.com' (This puts up a flag to me that it's a fake, because I'd assume they'd use emails from their own domain).

"
from Babel Research Employee Notice <babelresearchgroup>
to ***EDITED OUT FOR PRIVACY***
date Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 08:06 AM
subject Fwd : Important Notice to all Babel employees.
mailed-by gmail.com


Please see attached file."

I've uploaded the attached file to Tinypic.
http://i39.tinypic.com/1exhe1.jpg

It looks like there's something behind the 'N' in "Notice", but, I'm using a total p.o.s. computer at work and have nothing to check it out.

Again, the email makes me think it's fake, but it might be worth checking out.

Also, has anyone else gotten this email?

Some characters are underlined
EDIT: These characters form the Word "boX"
EDIT2: "Unlocking the universe"
EDIT3: "Box locking the universe" ... Timelock? ... Box is a timemachine? ... That would explain the slo-mo cars-video

I don't think so because Flash-Forward(2008) came after WITB (2006?). Maybe Tim read the book Flash-Forward is based on. Or maybe he WILL read it since we all know he is reading our posts. Razz Hi Tim.

EDIT: Why is this thread still in the "News & Rumors" Section?

I'm going to assume the see you, and open wide bits are pertaining to Babel Research and the box. BR is probably a big-brother like organization, seeing all. The open wide part is probably talking about opening the box.

MMX, as discussed earlier on when it showed up under a video was 2010, so I think if this is legit, it's another push in the direction of telling us we'll see more this year.

The lies part is pointing to the footer of the letter, possibly saying that BR is lying to everyone about their company goals and aims.

I think the "locking the Universe" part may be an allusion at what they're attempting to do with the box. Not just global domination, but the entire universe?

the underlined letters are possibly saying that Object X is the box, which, to anyone already involved with WITB would probably have figured out already.

I'm wondering about the 'They are coming' part. Is 'they' Babel, or the creators of the box? Somewhere on Timsmit's site (think it's the tower with two legs thing.) when clicking, it says "Urea Unfits Vino", which someone earlier on in the thread said was an anagram for 'Future Invasion'. That may be the "they", as in, someone's coming to take back their box.

Doing a negative-image on the colors, and the messing with the contrast and brightness, I got this image :



The blue bit behind the "Notice", when looked at in that shot, becomes the red glowing ring on the box, but with some red trail. Possibly blood? Radiation leak? Dunno.

Like the original poster, I think this is probably a fake, just due to the email listed and the quality of the work. Could be wrong though, and either way, it's giving me something to keep entertained.

the world in the middle with the glow looks like an eye like the one in that notice

fake

I highly doubt the email is legit. I've spoken with Tim quite a few times and I doubt he would send a single email to a single person to progress the ARG. It's a fake.

Sent an email back to the Babel Research Group one that sent me the first email last night, saying :

Quote:
Research Object X is unknown to my department. I'm in PR, not the research lab. As for Employee #8765543, I had his records pulled, and it seems he's been suffering from stress, high blood pressure, a lack of sleep, and the feeling that he's always being watched, as according to his health records.


I got this when I checked my email this morning :

Quote:
The guys at UF already figured out this was a fake. More should have gotten the initial email, but I must have messed up. Knizz, Nighthawk, The Bruce, Telos954, Delta Grapher, and KLind, and a bunch of emails gathered from youtube and blogs covering this all should have gotten the initial email. I used a mailer script to send them out, and only a very few actually made it due to unforeseen issues.

I had the plan to keep everyone busy with a bit of a side story of sorts but it seems I already messed it up. My mistake. Maybe I'll try again another time.
