Alien
code

Someone asked me if I could help him decipher this code - I told him I would give it a try. Am wondering if anyone else can help

http://www.alienware.com/Microsite_Pages/declassified/main.aspx?sssdmh=dm11.99600&from=EMAIL:decipher_10242007_body

This is more of a contest I think because there is a prize but then again I don't really know because there is supposed to be more coming on Oct 29. If this is posted in the wrong place let me know and I can delete it.

Edited: this is for alien computer launch I believe.

Shouldn't be too hard, you have several letters and numbers already from the intro text: J, O, Z, A, 5, 0, S, and U. Also it looks like the text is broken up into words.

The hard part is working out the characters, for example I think the first word is 7 letters long

I've got some stuff down. I think I got the word, "and". I'll take it home tonight and keep working on it. However I bet someone will have it figured out by the time I get back on tomorrow! But I'll try to help anyway!!

Got almost all of it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Denials and coverups will prove futile only when each and every person can hold the evidence in their hands. Seek out the Area-51 ?15? and Area-51 ?1??."

I can't locate any model numbers or codes on their site theat match the limited number of possibilities for the characters noted with question marks.

code

Thanks everyone for getting me started. I did a search on other forums and no one has posted any solution - it seems like everyone has most of the words, but is missing a few too. I am going to keep working on it - maybe someone here can win the trip. It seems like an expensive trip for a prize; so I don't think the clue is going to be too easy.

I've taken the leftover letters not used and started a manual search plugging in the letters.
I ran across this post of someone saying they looked at the programming and solved the cipher. http://ufocasebook.conforums.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=drone&num=1191662183&start=435
I dont believe it.

I also ran across a NASA chat that reminded me that there is an aircraft named X15B but, I've never heard of a X14B or X16B so, this could also be offbase.

Yeah...how did he get the letters M and X? If it doesn't work in the database then maybe it's wrong...

The only letters left for use in the models numbers are j, m, q, w, x, and z.

All the other letters appear in the message, or we have the coded letter for them and it doesn't match.

The e-mail subject states it's number 2 of 4. So I guess we can expect another one on November 5th. Of course this comes right after I threw away my notes...

Looks like so far that other guy on the site is right. We still need a couple of numbers though. Guess maybe they will be in the November 12th update.
