I'm intruiged by the dots all over the map, as the current blinking is nowhere near the coords (rather over central Spain, by a dot that seems to be Madrid or Toledo or something). should we try compiling a list of where the dots seem to be?

I see Michigan and maybe Oslo and London... maybe these are NORAD or NATO or some sort of espionage locations, based on the MI6 link?

Also, I wonder if we are able to figure out which 8 digits are used in the phone number of the audio. If we can deduce that, perhaps someon could make a call with a modem or fax machine and see if anything connects.

converting the modem signal into something useable... i don't know if that's possible. Anybody?

The only thing I've found in my brief search about he coordinates is

http://editthis.info/londonbirders/Walthamstow_Reservoirs which says:

Quote:
The best time for Mediterranean Gull is March and November for Yellow-legged Gull, though both have been known to overwinter. There are a number of islands, each with its own character. The island on East Warwick usually holds breeding Lesser Black-backed Gulls and Herring Gulls, and Common Terns can be found on several purpose-built rafts around the site in summer; the island is also a favoured spot for Lapwing. Reservoir Nos.1 and 2 hold the famous heronry, nesting beginning in early February; No.1 island held London's first breeding Little Egrets in summer 2006, with two pairs in summer 2007. The island on the No.5 holds the even more famous Cormorant colony - the population numbers around 300 pairs, with most activity from late February to late July.


Unless "GA Project" stands for "Gull Army Project," I don't know if that's much help.

I guess we wait until the countdown hits zero. Sadly, I won't be at home when it does Sad

Okay... I live in London

It's now 1:40am

And nothing I personally know of, has happened. But according to the GA Project site 'G.A Deployment' was successful?

Oh I'm gonna try that # btw. Just not know as I said it's almost 2am...

The thing is, though, the circle (what was a square) is positioned over what might be north-eastern Spain or even France.

Have you gone to the particular coordinates they state? Over at the reservoir? Perhaps they deaddropped there.

I just got an e-mail from them entitled, "Our first move has been made". I just e-mailed them asking for information and I got the above. Also, two newspaper articles. I guess I can photobucket them or something...

I'll try that.

EDIT: Hehe, Amandel beat me to it...

EDIT 2: I notice a slight difference in the wording of our emails...nothing special, though.

EDIT THE THIRD: You know that red text "First Flood Gate" initiated? Well now it is a link leading to a page with a message from well, whoever.

Here's the link if you want it: http://www.thegaproject.moonfruit.com/#/floodgate1/4532049746

Morning S.P.I. Smile et al--Yaha, they are busy this a.m. and now we know what 'IEN' means or meant.
NEW on the G A Project page: "'IEN' Offline:". Kinda guessed that already.

From the JUMP/Floodgate page: "How far will you jum:P?" with "The answer is 8" linking to their email.
