i never found a symbol?

Open door?

I also founf that Nebraska in recent past hard a large munitions location in that area. Supplies = weapons?

I believe that other reference was always there.

Hi Macfoo--

I am equally new to the game and spent hours and hours over the long weekend combing through threads trying to get up to speed on everything related to the ARG. Good luck to us both because there is a LOT to go through. Rolling Eyes

As to the supply shed in Nebraska and the symbol you brought up: I thought I would mention that I see a square below the door's small window (faint, but something is definitely there). I also see something in the center of the big window to the right of the door. Who knows if either of these things are anything significant but it seemed worth a mention. I also wonder if the symbol isn't "hiding in plain sight" within the big water stain to the left of the door. I don't have any kind of software that can enlarge that photo so until someone comes along who can take a closer look the symbol will likely remain a mystery.

And like you I don't recall any passage in the scouting thread on Sacred Hat indicating that the scouts were being used in part to rally the troops, so to speak. That seems very significant to me and I don't think it is something I would have missed -- but as you say you can only stuff so much into your head before stuff starts dribbling out your ears. Wink

Welcome to the game and good luck to you!

Well I'm sure its nothing, but I'm amused that there are 5 power lines in the air above the building, but only 4 shadows Smile

looking closer

i can't believe there isn't more discussion/analysis of this to be found anywhere. i can't find anyone anywhere saying there ISNT anything hiding there, which would at least help me sleep better and focus my energy elsewhere...

it just seems like such an obvious message/clue

mswho, can't you just save the image to your comp and then look at it in your slideshow? i at least did that and can zoom in very close. i'll have to look at what you refer to, but I also noticed a few strange things when zooming.

1) the two little windows up top have diagonal rainbowish lines which i don't see anywhere else on the photo, except:

2) towards the left near the line that divides the wall from the roof, there is a small square horizontal rainbow, again which i dont see elsewhere.

i tried to DL a desteg program and read up on these discovery techniques, but i'm a total noob and have no idea what i'm doing and am stuck. i tried to read up on if such rainbowish images are just normal with images or if they indicate something else going on, but i really have no idea what do do at this point...

if i'm just flailing in the dark here someone please be kind and stop the bleeding

I can zoom the image but the subsequent dithering completely obscures any details of the images close up. I don't have any image editing programs other than Paint and Photo gallery. Sorry Macfoo. It's been nagging at me too.

Answers to some questions...my opinion only, do not take as gospel.

Jubilus: The hydro lines (aside from the farthest left) look fake. The shadows look like they are coming from two different light sources (compare the shadow of the first hydro line with that of the last...shadows in 2 different directions). And the second from the left also looks like it goes right up to the line above...like its not a shadow...


Gotta run in a sec, so to make this quick...

There's also 2 little clouds above the airconditioner, but no other clouds in the sky...and they look too perfect.

This isn't an "obvious" clue to me. Nebraska is big. This is one little depot, without something with coordinates, lat and long, gps codes or something,
finding this would be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Hmmmm...

I have been thinking a bit about looking for the symbol at the Nebraska depot and the two "perfect clouds" above the building.

Perhaps Tom Tooman is not telling us to look for a symbol on a building in Nebraska to help identify it as a safehouse. I am thinking the two sentences illustrating the picture don't have any relation to one another. IOW I think Tooman is saying "Here's a picture of a building in Nebraska. And by the way, I've hidden a symbol in this picture."

I think Blackbird is right. The two "clouds" above the building *are* too perfect. I think that's the symbol TT wants us to find.

It's two missing "i's".

What this is supposed to mean of course I have no idea--just thought I'd throw the idea out. Anyone have any thoughts?

I've tried to find something that fits with hobo symbols, underground railroad quilt codes and other symbologies like McGruff codes for various states.

Not getting anywhere with that, though.

The 'images' on the wall that I can see, with the benefit of a little editing are a lion/cat head at the left (thanks General). A guy/alien in a gasmask at centre and a horse head/front legs at the right.

Could she be at this very depot?
