click the radio tower link, it gives you a static picture under a /spies directory at hanso. If you couldnt figure it out from there, the picture says conspira.

 		6/13 eri images
So, the file that is "face down" in the middle has "#B067" written on the visible part, then flips over to reveal the satellite photo. Down the side of that photo is the string: "IO 184200 NO516-02P.. IM66 LIM-E"
String gets harder to make out the further left you go. Any thoughts on what these might mean?

The second attached photo is more interesting - the file on the "bottom" of the hack is another aerial photo, with the text "#AS815 Unexplained Growth" and a red circle on part of an island/peninsula. Interesting b/c 815 is the flight number, two of the numbers, etc.

EDIT: Lostpedia refers to #AS815 as an X-ray of a fish - where did they get that from and what do we think about it? I know the letter in the hack says fish were deformed, but how did someone conclude this was an X-Ray of a fish? Makes sense in a way but I don't see it looking at the picture - maybe because upper right of red circle looks like fish/eye mouth? But what is the brown stuff on the left side?. Reference: june 13 clues

So what the heck does it all mean? I feel with the revelation of the DHARMA acronym, shark reference, etc. we are getting very close to a major WOW moment of how this game ties into the show.

FWIW, if you use the numbers on the photo as lat long coordinates, assuming that the "N" means North 05 16 02 you have two options for 184200, either East 18 42 00 or West 18 42 00.

This link is using an East longitude which puts you in the Central African Republic
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&formtype=address
&latlongtype=degrees&latdeg=05&latmin=16&latsec=02&longdeg=18&longmin=42&longsec=00

If you use the West longitude it puts you in the Atlantic Ocean just west of Liberia.

 		Going back to THF site
After you click the signature at the bottom and it takes you back to the Hanso site, there are weird coordinates in the ERI map.

X 20779
Y 20733.25

Oct 62, 9291 is the date, but that doesn't change from before P's message to when you return.

If you accidently click the cursor, it goes back to the normal coordinate numbers in the 400 and 300 range respectively.

I don't know if this is significant in any way, but it was different.

At least in the ASCII transcriber I used, it translates to lol! and a box. The date translates to >\[

 		Offshore
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you click on Offshore in the letter, you can't until you've jumped through all of the hoops, it takes you to DJDans site. But nothing happens, other than you can click on the radio thingy and start all over again.


The above is a spoiler, not a very good one, of what else you can do with the letter

Hmm I doubt they are longitute and latitude co-ordinates, for a number of reasons. One of the main reasons I see is the inconsistant way they've been written (for instance, the 'O' before the '5' really can't be counted as a '0' etc.) Theres also nothing to suggest that the numbers after the 'IO' are west or east co-ordinates if the 'NO' is suggesting that those numbers are relative to 'North'.
It may be some other co-ordinate system or an identifier for a particular satellite (just speculating, I don't know how satellites are identified XD)

 		I really hope this actually starts to go somewhere soon.

Looked up Piak Motors, with no avail.

I noticed that too, thanks for pointing it out. Is it significant, or an artifact of the "hack" programming?

Also, after the hack returned you to the Hanso page, where you unable to click on anything? I thought that was weird as previous hacks returned you to a "normal" Hanso website.

Paik is Sun's father's name, who Jin works for on the show Lost. Thus it seems to be another attempt to link up the show and the ARG.

More on Paik

The phrase "Unexplained Growth" is seperated from the "#AS815," and looks like it could be yet another anagram. The only two word anagram that results is "unexplored thawing," which could have something to do with Cryogenics, but once you go to three words there are over 3000 possibilities wherein I have no idea how best to limit it. I'll mention "pawn extruding hole" as one possibility. Other words that might be included in a possible anagram are "login," "helix," "death," or "warped," but I'm just not seeing it.
