 		Hrm
I know that Ethan Haas is technically 'out of game' right now, but a blogger user named Ethan Haas just posted on the 'Ethan Haas Was Wrong' blog. I figured it was some stupid copycat, until I read this profile:

http://www.blogger.com/profile/05893967155618276368

Registered May 2007. What?!

Keep up the good work guys... my instinct tells me that 1/18/08 and Ethan Haas have a connection, but we just don't know what it is yet.

 		Masonic Temple Lead
Hey everyone,

Been following this forum pretty avidly, decided it was time to post. I took up some suggestions that've been posted here to follow up on the Masonic Temple lead. I work about two blocks from there, so I spent my lunch break yesterday over there, keeping an eye out for curious happenings (thumb drives, fliers, etc). To the best of my ability, I couldn't find anything curious.

In regards to Albert Pike, I only found one mention of him, on a plaque honoring a number of famous freemasons. Also worth noting is that the statue of Albert Pike is actually located in downtown DC, on Judiciary Square. I haven't had a chance to make it downtown yet, but I'm going in on Tuesday next week, so I'll try to make a stop and check it out.

I wrote the whole experience up a bit more here, if anyone's interested.

 		more creepy images
maybe I'm looking too hard for stuff, but that glass looks 'shopped the way it blends (eats?) into his face, and the other image looks like a evil face.

And how exactly would they get their cell number? Did they call that number that had the recording of the first message? Otherwise I'm taking that with a grain of salt.

So yesterday on the ethan haas was wrong blog page i posted a couple of things after researching all the previous day. The first post i put up was at about 6:15pm Friday July 6th, it read pretty much like this:
"Has anyone checked out more info on the Whois data base for ethanhaaswasright.com? I just did and found that Van had registered the site and it lists his address as being 2205 holly pine circle Orlando, FL, however when you look at this address from satellite pictures on Yahoo maps or something, all it shows is an undeveloped subdivision it looks like. Check it out."

That got deleted.
Now about fifteen minutes after that post I posted about the phone number that is also listed in the WHOIS database, which I had called and recieved a message about his email. I also texted him however and just recieved a text back at around noon today saying, "THEY HAUE FOUND ME". Yes it is spelled wrong, but if i was typing something like that on a cell phone it seems like he might be in a hurry.

There are a lot of ties in this puzzle so far. It's getting massive.

 		I just read that too. Huh.

(That "Red/White Dot" thing that came up a couple of posts around too seems like a scam though.)

 		Communicating With The Dead
had to b done
Someone asked on page 1 of this thread, (2 max) if anyone had bothered popping a note to Henry Kelvin and it was quickly discouraged on grounds of leaving PMs alone...however, it also cleared up later that it's likely Henry Kelvin isn't an actual person but a composite of two of Abrams' Lost characters, and clearly Pike isn't PMming ARGs at this point in time....but it looks like that suggestion was glazed over, or at least nobody has mentioned doing it.

Soooooooo....I gave it a shot. I sent one to Mr Kelvin, and much as it made me twitch, one also to Mr Pike. So far, neither email bounced back so it's active enough.

If I actually get any sort of response I'll share....meanwhile, it can't hurt to step it up a notch and join me here in letting them know we're alive here and interested in what this is about.

 		Alright, nice one (yeah, I guess it is a composite...Henry Kelvin), let's see if you get a response.

 		At the end of Van's message (Found at the phone number given in the whois on the search for ethanhaaswasright, (1 407 760 2795), did anyone else leave a message for Van? I said I wanted to help, and gave my phone number. Curious to see what happens, as people have been claiming to be text messaged by him.

 		Okay test one
Let's find out. Email or text or call?? Van and ask straight up what about Rob and his trip to Japan being "interrupted."

See how that plays out ;-p If it's connected Van would have some legitimate backstory that we *can* validate but that isn't just straight swiped off the trailer....and that'll clear it up.

If it goes ignored or Van is clueless, maybe we can split these two threads as unrelated after all?

this page has the transcriptions of what Van said in the videos. ALSO-a comment detailing messages sent to and responses received from Van.

I have an issue with this part of the above blog:

Quote:
As anemia points out, the same web site allows clever puzzle solvers access to a series of 5 grainy "home made" videos. Each of these videos feature a man by the name of "Van" whose face remains hidden in shadow. Van presumably offers the viewer more clues into what this "Cloverfield" film is about.



I read the rest of Van's messages and nothing about it shed any light on cloverfield film one way or the other....not even acknowledging it was trying to shed light on it. In fact, there's no mention of cloverfield or movie or Rob or NY monster or anything else. Sounds to me like Van is talking about something else entirely....

Careful with the assumptions....

this could possibly be related however it is doubtful. but still cool. Anyway if you go to the official site 1-18-08.com and you view the page source info. you will see this: http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js
This is just a hit counter for the site i believe. but if you enter it into your browser it takes you to another page, that just so happens to have the date SUN JAN 18 2038.
prob not related, but what a strange coincidence.

 		what i have
Ok, here's what I have
OK, first, I checked out cloverfieldmovie.com in the whois (maybe I'm late) and it IS owned by Paramount, so if it's just a fake title, why would they have registered it if they weren't going to put material there later???

Also, doesn't it seem a little strange that both 1-18-08.com and ethanhaaswasright.com were registered around the same time IN THE SAME REGISTRANT (tucows.com) also, the paramount taking down the van videos.

It seems there is a connection. Has someone gone to the address in FLorida? I'm sure there's GOT to be a clue there.
