also a reference to the symbols, but adds 'milestone'.
Although there isn't a milestone symbol... seems odd.


"Milestones" are the blocks with flags, actually.

Alright, it's the same video we're all familiar with. However, maybe from here we could get a clearer (or at least bigger) screenshot of the barcode in the bag.
Just a thought: Did any of you realize that the "8" at the end of the video, above David's signature, is upside down? I don't think it means anything special (and it's hard to tell right now), but I think it's curious.

Has anyone tried to dial **David8 or **245409? I would try but you can't dial any of these numbers from Canada...

Yeah also those yellow dots on the wheel that starts turning look like they could mean something, do they match up with the pictogram in any way? Incidentally, UKPrometheus just tweeted that David8 video again as well.

Just a little fun fact; Ripley in Alien Resurrection had a tattoo '8', since she was the 8th clone and all.

I've been lurking for a couple days, and have been thinking about this passcode. Haven't figured anything out yet, but I will say that I was intrigued by the Weyland Industries timeline and that Peter Weyland's mother was a professor of comparative mythology. It got me thinking that maybe we need to look beyond the greek Prometheus myth to similar "gift giver" stories in other cultures. I tried a Sumerian god traditionally seen as an analogue of Prometheus, Enki (who also happens to be the patron god of Eridu), as a password but no luck. However, they obviously thought this through.

I think it's quite strange that Prometheus and Enki are related archetypal myths, and that Enki just happens to be the patron god of Eridu. The plot thickens.

So it would seem they are leading us back towards the David 8 video.

History of David:

I don't know if Peter Weyland (7 letters!) ever actually had kids, but he named the cybernetic individual David.

David - 01-07-2025
David 2 - 01-01-2028
David 3 - 06-30-2035
David 4 - 04-01-2042
David 5 - 07-07-2052
David 6 - 02-26-2062
David 7 - 07-06-2068
David 8 - ?

The differences between the years are as follows (in years)
1-2 = 3 years
2-3= 7 years
3-4= 7 years
4-5= 10 years
5-6= 10 years
6-7= 6 years
7-8= ?

The video is in very low quality, I can't get proper shot. I did it the other day, but I was hoping this one wasn't as blurry.
I cropped the barcode and tilted it 90º counter-clockwise.

@SneakyMoustache: Could we assume David 8 is the "current" version, and therefore it's in 2073? Edit: Meaning, 2068 - 2073 = 5 years.

Also the attachment disappeared for some reason.

@AVITWeb: No, that's Alien, Prometheus happens a few years earlier.

The woman in the message you get when you call ** WEYLAND mentions that she grew up on Kepler 22b. I'm looking to see if it is a legit lead or not

movie takes place is 2085 correct?
But some things don't add up...The Yutani Twitter feed just posted either today or yesterday that they were glad to see Weyland consolidate.

If we have a guess at another 6 years that leas us to 49 (Which is 7*7).

Numbers didn't work on either as password though.

nice grab - I wonder if the three orange dots on the circular lock mean anything?

*edit: oops sorry Rebus, missed your post above
