[Trailhead] The Visitor Isn't Human (28cheeseburgers) Strange USB drive found at a gas station raises questions.
The QR code has been decoded on the blog. It revealed from base64 an intriguing msg & an incomplete web address.
The blogger 28CB (aka Flemming) is still requesting flyer submissions on his blog.
Add'l IG sites and info:
CBA who "Watch The Sky So You Don't Have To" http://28thecba.wordpress.com/
IG character "T" whose agenda is unknown and has contacted 28CB

28CB has updated at Wordpress with an audio file containing a clue-word (thief) for the "you are what you steal-CBA" cipher.
"Thief" alone hasn't cracked it with the ciphers I've tried 'tho Slingshot has made the cipher more manageable.

The image is a little jumbled after the dark grey. I have aligned it up a bit better here...
There are a lot of "capital i's" which could be "lowercase L's". (Note to PM, don't use Arial!!! :$ ) Also a white square at the end of "visvvw" which makes it difficult.
Since nobody has pointed it out, the only number in the cipher is 1283, which was included in the broken url on one of the QR codes. So that last part might be more of the web address?
Here's what I have for the ciphertext:
Code:
Wliv RuJIvydnyk Uf pny khte lq cgv thhyetbhr gaih lhb akc
wh pfwarhgagr gx wbr ck chv lXP xicnfv rvy isvr jvnz wu tnv

ETA: Looks like "slingshot1" beat me to it, and the blog has been updated... http://28cheeseburgers.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/putting-the-pieces-together/

It's
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
vigenere autokey "thief"
Dear MrFlemming It has come to our attention that you are in possession of one of our USB drives and have gone so far as to upload the found video on a popular video hosting site and have begun to actively involve civilians. Consider this message a cease and desist notice that will betaken very seriously We know who you are. We will be in touch CBA Httpwww1283z
However the corruption is going to make it hard to finish. (corrected)

two more videos posted to the youtube account today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qre7gucBXyA - "I was driving on the way home from a movie, when I began to hear this come over the radio. I found a spot near my home where I could get it to sound good enough, and recorded it to my laptop."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRojOR2tsME - "I was leaving my house this morning when I opened my door and an envelope fell to the ground. Written on the front was my name and inside was a minidisc. I transferred the video. There was nothing else inside, except for a piece of paper which read "Hope you heard the signal. From T.""
EDIT: added links to the videos

Is it too late to say: Hi booba, you're bril ? And interesting YT linky, another_pilot_dwn.
Made an MP3 of the "you are a thief" audio just to be thorough. Am hearing in 28CB's (UNKNOWN) section "Now you have circled it". Another poster on the blog hears: "Now you are stuck with it" which also sounds viable. Each may be irrelevant.

Heya again The CBA's source code tells a more candid story. These comments are intersperced there:
Code:
To those who are naive enough to believe a word Mr.Felmming has said: You, the public, needs to grow up. We enjoy not having to be seen by the you, and for that we are sorry that we are making our presence know, all because a little snotty man can't keep a USB in his pants
Now where you all act like idiots. Mr.Flemming acted like a child throwing a tantrum. If he doesn't stop, he will pay the consequences. We have sent multiple people to look for Mr.Flemming. Hope this puts your dumb minds to rest.

Good catch! I wonder about the errors in language/usage. I like how they embeded it with the normal post would have been cool if when you highlighted everything on the page that it would have shown up!

Seems like maybe the CBAs aren't quite human.
