yep I got it too... hard to tell its purpose.
From what I found via a quick google, general consensus is that's it's viral for something... but it's been around for some time. It's like a "The Onion" of the unexplained... there are some blatantly false/joke articles there... so either the author(s) really is crazy, or it's intended to obviously be tongue-in-cheek (I think the latter is pretty given)

So imo, it's either a humour site, or a viral that's been around for quite a while... Dunno

The fact that a number of us just got emails makes me think there's something more than just a self-contained entertaining site...

ETA: just got a second email. The first (to my personal email) started "Hello," the 2nd (to my argish email) started "Hi there,"

The Terms of Use give Pacific Data Image, Inc as the company making the website available. From what I can find PDI is now owned by DreamWorks Animation SKG. So viral campaign sounds very plausible.

Sent an email asking how I could prove my loyalty.

aye. hm, according to IMDB, there's only one upcoming production in the works - Shrek the Fourth... this doesn't seem applicable Razz

an unannounced project?

Dreamworks, however, has a number of upcoming projects:

According to an io9 article, it's for Monsters vs. Aliens. The proof is pretty convincing, as some of the characters in the movie show up in the Topsecretconspiracy video.

hah, d'oh. I shrugged that article off as just io9. Razz

solid connections made in there.
So, what to do now? there's lots of activity surrounding that site already, so will be more like cloverfield? or will there be more "argish" happenings... Confused

I wonder if most of the activity on the site isn't, for lack of a better word, fabricated. I dunno. I kinda thought it was a spam email at first since I usually look up some strange things on youtube.

CONSPIRACIES = FUN Surprised

PS: I always thought exposing my truth was illegal.

I feel like I should send a reply except I'm not exactly sure what to write.

EDIT: Ok I just sent an email, not exactly sure what I will get back. Man it's finally nice to have some free time to do some ARGing again. For a while I was just deleting any email that looked remotely like a trailhead because I just didn't have the time to invest in it.

I think that the goal here is to submit news stories that will be added to the site. Something along the lines of:

Invisible Circuits Being Printed On Eyeglasses
The US Is Using You To Watch Others

I sent a short video to Jeffrey of my neighbors yard with a Snowman Christmas decoration. I explained that I thought the blinking lights were sending a message to "THEM". I got two replies from Jeffrey.

amandel

enaxor's video and believably wacko letter are frontpage news on Topsecretconspiracy.....

Pales in comparison but yesterday sent Jeffrey an email about and an attachment of a subversive blob blocking viewing of his site. Since I've heard nada I'm guessing he thought I was a genuine Flaming Nutter

I wonder if this website is related
http://www.pacificmonsterisland.com/

(it's on the same server, but there are other unrelated sites on the same server too)
