I started with this yesterday, I'm from Argentina, so my english is not the best Razz

But, look at this (don't know if anyone's already...)

STEPHENVILLE

OMPHALOS 1 IDENTIFIED
NAVIGATE 20478 SCORPIO 24 DEGREES. RECOVERED

 		mrjudkins came up with this.





Lets not forget that because of the spherical shape, the image is not accurate.

 		An update on the European red dot - I've adjusted the map (seen above), which lands the spot closer to Poznan - but many people have been entering in every placename in the area to no avail...

This is probably one we'll need help from the Characters, or other clues to find...

 		Dracmir - that's OK - Stephenville was green before we linked it with Austin. Lunglei is green cuz we found it, I think. Perhaps green means it is available to be linked with another city.

The "Night map" button shows the city names.

Hopefully it can help pinpoint some locations.

You can also look at the Earth at Night in Google Earth if doing this in 3D is helpful:

 		RED DOT
Hello all. First ARG for me.

Viewing the 164.109.150.213 site last night I did not see any RED or GREEN dots. Thought I was missing something.

Looked again this morning and noticied a (or 3 tiny) RED dots in the North West United States.

Looks like WASHINGTON state. The capital of WASHINGTON state is of course...OLYMPIA.

I have NOT confirmed this location but just wanted to post to lead others to the same area.

(First post for me so I hope I am in the ballpark Very Happy )

I tried to get some help out of him, but he doesn't respond to emails. I suppose that we didn't unlock the secret, if we do that he'll talk more.

Welcome aboard D72W! The dots seem to have a life of their own (from what we've gathered) in terms of when they are appearing and when they are disappearing.

The toughest part is trying to coordinate where they are exactly pointing too! We've found several places so far and have actually retrieved artifacts from them.

Right now, others are continuing to try and determine the location of the new red dots. The wiki has a good list of what we've found so far to date, as well at least one coordination of trying to find a specific location in Denmark!

There have been several reports of something in NW USA, so that certainly warrants investigation as well.

You'll know you've hit it when it says it's been identified and it's not yet on our list.. Then come back here, post it, and get LOTS of acclaim and fame. *smile*
