There are 3 flashes that were too quick to see at the end of that trailer (1:13, 1:15, 1:17 or there abouts).

Literally fractions of second flashes (one of which is screenshot, above).

Has anyone been able to capture all of them?

I am currently at work and so can not do so myself Sad

Probably nothing in them but it's worth a shot I guess...



the images below plus this post:

yes, they've been captured before. only one new frame was added at the end(the one below labelled 'uk vid on 2012-03-26.png'). i thought the ring + 'a' one was new because my screenshot was covered in credits, but it appears it's the same image.

but, for the sake of completeness, here's the others:

Ah, now I see it. Thanks man. I'd speculate and say that's David trying to reach something.

Symbols in Orrery Cuneiform?

blackfeathers wrote:
prometheus uk posted a new promo video with a number of new scenes. attached are two i find kinda interesting potentially puzzle-wise: symbols in the orrery and another spectranalysis image in the end.

update / edit: it appears that the spectranalysis ring + 'a' image is old. the screenshot i had of it were covered in credits.

video:

I am no expert in ancient writing, but it sure seems to me that the symbols plainly visible in your screen cap, and to a lesser extent on the circling "tiles" in the wallpaper sized Orerry JPG may be Cuneiform writing. Could just be something to make it look ancient/modern at the same time, or maybe something more.

Nah, pursue this if you will but i'll lay my cards on the table now an really bow out. It's no coincidence this viral has sunk from the top of the pack so quickly. I'll check back but really, there's no reason to believe we'll get any more help until June 1st. I know I got trouted for my Y U Ta Ni posts but I'll take those away with me for now knowing that this may perhaps be a key to a door that is not revealed yet.

Mother - I think you've done it.
The reason I say that is because I was looking at the mythical resources and their numbers and "Rare Earths" has the number "345".
I am taking that to mean a rare Earth twin planet with a physical location of "345".
Then using this map I spotted 32 Eridanus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stars_in_Eridanus which is 345 light years from Earth.

So I found Eridanus and so did you. So we are on the right track. I think you may have found the actual planet! Congrats!

That's an interesting way of looking at the presented data, but consider the following:

1.- 32 Eridani is a binary star system with no real life evidence of a planetary system, and mainly because of...
2.- How far it is: 345 light years is a big distance when it comes to the Kepler mission research. Most planets have been discovered within the 5-30 light years range, more or less, and for obvious reasons (we'd like to get there someday within our lifetime).
3.- The star in the Starmap we've been using as a guide (could be wrong after all, but hey) mentions 82 Eridani, which evidently harbors a planetary system.

So what I'm saying is that there must be a better way to interpret that data, but I like your idea.

just re-treading some former, earlier ground. during the eridani project prometheus part, which didn't pan out, i looked for connections among orion and erinadus constellations and the quote from the ** audio message:
"When the kingdom of heaven came down (or descended), the kingdom was in place. Go find your reward."

i came across a star and part of the map where orion's foot meets eridanus. one star from one constellation and three from the other constellation form the footstool, also known as 'the chair of the central one.' it reminded me of the throne in the red tablet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_Eridani

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tau_Orionis

Quote:

"This star, along with β Eri, λ Eri and ψ Eri were Al Kursiyy al Jauzah, "the Chair (or "Footstool") of the Central One""


however, while the constellations are adjacent to each other we need more of a trail

The noise was actually how I realized that Prometheus was the Alien prequel I'd read about a while back.
And you're right... the trailer on the amctheaters channel says:
Quote:
In the distant future, two superpowers control Earth and fight each other for all the solar system's natural resources.

I'd been thinking countries... But that could definitely be companies...

Ok, so more square onery:

It's totally possible that this has already been mentioned, but I'm not ploughing through 1300 posts (again!)

From the investor "table of elements":
Eitr: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eitr
Ymir, the first giant, was created out of that mythical substance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ymir by the "Gods". Fits with the Prometheus back story.
Ymir is also the unofficial name of star (edit: I meant planet!): Gliese 581 c http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_581_c http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ymir_%28disambiguation%29
Which was the subject of A Message From Earth (AMFE): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Message_From_Earth

Which should flash you all back to the Wow! Signal and the Cosmic Call.

That's as far as I've got. I'm looking at the 119 element number and so on. The AMFE page mentions that "As of March 21, 2012 18:25 the message has traveled 20,271,000,000,000 miles (3.2623×1013 km) of the 119,000,000,000,000-mile (1.92×1014 km) total trip to the Gliese 581 system."

But too much time is being taken out of my day #mustgetbacktowork

I apologise if this has already been posted, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who pops in now and then and tries to get an idea of where we're at from the last few posts.

So I would think that Yutani right now is just a rival...making it seem that the WY CORP happens sometime between Prometheus and Alien. Perhaps during the events of Prometheus?

Well they were in a legal fight according to the timeline, so it makes sense to me.

But it will be interesting to see how and when they get together.
