i don't know why everyone seems to be so hellbent on this creature being some sort of alien. if you read the article from the paper, it is an exact copy of john f kennedys speech on the limited test ban treaty. just because the trailer mentions area 51 doesn't immediately make this something from outer space. if you read/listen to the entire speech, at one point he says theres a ban on testing nuclear radiation everywhere except for underground which might be some sort of explanation to the whole "no certainty if a live may be after us we go underground"

just a thought

I think the inclusion of Dan Morris, Capt Cooper and the whole space theme that we've seen so far is what's adding to people's belief that we're dealing with something Alien in nature.

I'm still playing a around with the two newspaper pages.

Perhaps it was already told here, but at the speech page, there is in opper left corner "olve...wise"... Which could be a hint "Solve wisely" or so.
Perhaps we haven't got all the clues hiding in these both sites.

We have at the moment:
* the "underground" message
* the mailbox

But, again, what about Sookie & Sm(ith?)? Do we have to find a pet who could be a new hint?

What about "Traffic lights"? (I'm thinking about trailer reading "traffic lights".)

What about Gardens and pedestrian crosswalks (again, "Crossing")?

Do we really have everyhing coded in that message?

Think about Wired, edited by JJ Abrams - they had tons of hidden messages...

I don't see a change in writing style at all. I just see someone using a phrase in a very expected way in a speech.

These are the only instances I can find:

"But it is an important first step -- a step towards peace -- a step towards reason -- a step away from war"

and

"Second, this treaty can be a step towards freeing the world from...."

I think it's just speech-talk and a way to get the audience thinking positively. Plus we have to remember that this speech was not written by Super8-folk, so it would be tough to encode any secret messages that weren't as obvious as the blacked-out lines and the X's.

Sending my maze and coupon tomorrow. For my astronaut name, I just Googled astronaut titles, and just put Mission Specialist [My Name]. Hope something comes back soon...

I think we've talked about this before, but the moon on the Rocket Poppeteers logo looks a lot like a solar eclipse. Maybe we'll get movement on that site at the next solar eclipse? According to the NASA eclipse guide, there is one on July 11, but it won't be visible in the U.S.

Since we've dated the newspaper to circa 1963, I checked those eclipses and found that there was a total solar eclipse on July 20, 1963...it was only visible in part of the U.S. (Maine).

I don't know if it has anything to do with anything...but that moon really looks like an eclipse to me.
