somebody check the new image for hidden files. Try "Debrief" as the password. I'm doing my best to see what the satellite image is. Looks like Chinese rice patties to me.

Also, new code on Twitter...I'ma leave the codes to you all. Ciphers kill me. Anybody wanna PM me with an idiots guide to deciphering stuff? Seems the only websites I've found tell you how to put it IN cipher...not decipher it.

Thanks miss widder...btw I apologize for losing my head the other day.

OH, I don't know if it's any relevance, BUT the corner of the new pic says 12864 which is a New York zip code in the Adirondaks.

No worries!! I sent you a PM with a site that I am using to de-code and decipher messages.

I have been doing searches on site 12864 and had been coming up empty. Thanks for the info! I was unable to find any hidden codes in the image. I can't make out the symbol in the left lower corner either

EDIT:
Has anyone been keeping track of the extra letters in his messages?

Nothing to go on.

Alright folks, I'm hitting the hay. I toured the greater part of Pakistan, derailed into India for a bit, then spent some time in the Adirondacks. Nuthin'. Although upstate NY does boast a tiny dot near that zip code that details a bigfoot sighting. I'll leave its exact location as an exercise to the reader.

Unless there's something hidden in the image, there's not enough to go on to find that location. I'll wait until JC finds a set of coordinates or drops something we can follow.

Coloration of the image...

I live in an area where "TOP SECRET" information is an everyday thing as NASA is literally right down the street.

Anywho you get to know certain kinds of images.

LIKE...Coloration

The image is split into three areas in this one

first off...I don't think it's a satellite image to begin with...it's an aerial photograph.

Second a fourth of the image is shrouded in red, meaning that the area is either the place of debate, or it's classified.

Third, if you'll look at the fields you'll see little white dots...they are meant to be there. That's what gives it's aerial photograph thing away...they are sometime used by cartographers I think to judge distances between objects while mapping them...

Just some more random useless, but relevant information from yours truly

Hmm... any idea what sort of scale we're looking at on this one, then?

Not a clue, but the area in red is circular....maybe an underground silo?
Upon further inspections of the "dots"...they aren't Linear...my other guess would be air conditioners atop buildings...

Clearer pic of the symbol at the bottom-right. Hopefully someone else can match this with something; I've had a bad weekend.

The image looks very similar to the Saudi coat of arms, but it's not an exact match.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Coat_of_arms_of_Saudi_Arabia.svg

Try cross-referencing the satellite image with locations in relation to the man that JC mentioned on his Twitter page. Mahmoud, was it? I don't recall. Maybe something will turn up. No time for me to do it. Interview with MIT today. Woot. Wish me luck...

Just got this e-mail this morning, I bet it has already been posted, but, eh, what the hell......







I really don't trust Saul.



I know that's probably not a good thing to say, but the more I think about it, the more I am sure I dont. I'm not going to go into the details of how we met, but ever since we started working together... I've had a bad feeling. He's kept me in the dark about a lot of things... which is understandable--since he's a freaking secret agent and everything--but I dont know. Something feels "wrong" and I can't put my finger on it. Ever felt that way?



I mean it's not his temper, or the fact that he treats me like a kid... it's almost like... I feel like he's lying to me, but I can't say about what. Ugh. Maybe I'm just being paranoid... I took an online personality test once, and it said I might suffer from paranoia. Probably true. Anyways... enough rambling from me... here's the drop I wrote up for this Monday.



***



Red Monday is in 27 days.



So, if you're reading this, you're probably trying to find more information about the Event, Red Monday. Unfortunately, I don't have all the answers… yet, but every week a clearer picture is starting to emerge.


Here's what we know so far:




You can call me JC. I'm working as an informant for a man named Saul, who is a member of the NCS. I'm a civilian, and I work in IT. I established Red-Monday.com as a drop-point for Saul and his fellow g-men to download documents and information about the "Event."




The "Event," whatever it is, is slated to occur on November 26th, 2007, agreed to and authorized by a man whom we only know as "The Prince." I discovered this information while combing through some Echelon files provided to me by one of Saul's associates, a woman whom I only know as "Echelon/3."




We suspect that the "Prince" is in fact a man named Khalid bin Sultan, but this is not confirmed. Khalid is a member of the Saudi Royal Family and a military man. Though he is today an accomplished philanthropist, he was at one point exiled from his country, possibly for challenging the (then) king's authority. Whatever his motives at that time, he appears to changed his focus entirely, now concentrating on issues like education and environmental protection. So it seems.





What is more unsettling, however, is that I've discovered many references linking him with an individual known as "AQ." By all indications, this is none other than the father of the Pakistani nuclear bomb: Abdul Qadeer Khan. Moreover, Saul has made me aware of a recent meeting between this "AQ" and Khalid at a nuclear power plant in Pakistan. The implications of such a meeting, by itself, are enough to make me concerned.





However, I don't know what happened at the meeting, so I need to confirm that there is really something going on here, besides idle conversations. Without any evidence that the Saudi's are building (or buying) a bomb, we're just groping in the dark. So now I'm looking for evidence that this might really be happening.




So far, I've been pretty fruitless, as the server has been pretty much idle the past week or so. I did come across something new, though, but what it pertains to I'm not sure:









I downloaded this satellite photo from a locked directory named "debrief." There were other files in the directory, but they looked like they were corrupted.



Does anyone have any idea where this is? Saul's team is busy dealing with some kind of directive from higher up about Iran… so I can't pull official resources for SatAnalysis on that one. Besides, I don't think I'm ready to loop him in on this, until I'm sure something is really going on.




I'll be trying match this with a set of actual coordinates, too. Let me know what you find.




~ JC

Anybody get anything in that upper right corner? I have a feeling that that text block is important -- possibly coordinates, and more. I've tried cleaning it up in GIMPShop, but all I get are white lines.
