[UPDATE] The Hanso Foundation exec bios (May 8th)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
At the end of it, when Persephone's saying "Where is Alvar Hanso", wait a bit and you'll be brought to a morse code message. Can anyone translate?

At the end it takes me back to the flash intro with the woman speaking, it didn't show me the morse code. Is it text or sound?

It's sound. You just have to wait a while and not click on anything.

[UPDATE] The Hanso Foundation (May 8th) Let's try and keep this in a different post, not a bunch of other cluttered junk.
UPDATE: [edit: i'm gonna try to keep updating the first post with big solves so that people won't have to read tons of posts if they don't want to]
The Exec page now underlines the date October 23, 2003. Clicking on this brings us to another lovely Persephone Interuption. She points out Hanso's pic, and asks "Notice the grainy, far away picture? It doesn't match anyone else?" all while circling the date October 23, 2003 over and over. Clicking again will bring up a map, charting the difference destinations Hanso has traveled to. These destinations are:
London
14.06.2000
Copenhagen
12.11.2000
[back to London then to]
Paris
23.02.2001
Geneva
12.07.2001
Roma
18.09.2001
[back to Geneva then to Copenhagen then]
(at this point the line goes offscreen)
Copenhagen
01.01.2001
Madrid
31.12.2002
Persephone then asks "Who is running this place?" and states "Alvar Hanso was never there."
waiting a few second after that, morse code pops up...aaaand, take it from there, UF members.

There are more "white-out" spots on the site now. After going through the link on the Alvar Hanso page, there are 4 spots whited out. One whited spot has Alvar written over the top of it. Strange.
ETA: the page is also all scribbly

I also wondered about why certain of the destination cities turned white and why certain of the dates remained visible rather than 'static.' New stuff to ponder, fun.

The missing words on Alvar Hanso's page seem to be Alvar, world and st (from standard). Alvar world saint?
And did that image that popped up look like a coffin to anyone else?

I'm currently trying to find significant events in those cities on those dates. But in the meantime, take note that all of the cities are written with their English names except for "Roma."

After the whited out spot where "world" should be, the next visible word is "safe." Connection to the morse code?

The destinations and dates which don't completely turn to static are the first Copenhagen trip (12.11.2000) and Geneva (12.07.2001).
But I am wondering why the second Copenhagen trip (01.01.2001) doesn't show up until before the final destination, even though the date shows it would be right after the first Copenhagen trip. Maybe a mistake on the date?
