immaguest, you will honestly not believe how often we get this very same question. Needless to say, ALOT! But I've come to understand that it is difficult to know what words to search for. I won't trout, but will direct you all to the first mention of this:

Yep, May 7th, the same day the trailer and official site were released. Actually within mere hours of the official site being found.
Of course you could always Google super8-movie.com red letters. Very Happy

I think this is the Kodak thing --

I'm not sure if there was anything earlier, but RasGold posted this in June:

Here's an earlier post from animaniac in May -- I think this might be the first here.

Thanks, Bonham has been discussed, but I'm not certain if that link you posted was, though.

There are a lot of names, numbers, etc. that we're dealing with, and if someone had the time or the inclination, assembling names/words in categories and numbers in another so we might be able to look down the lists to see if something jumps out, may be very productive.

I'm dealing with over-the-top pain issues, and pain killers and cognitive, insightful thinking don't mix very well.

Maybe for another day, or if you've got the time and would like to take a stab at it, I think it would help, and if you miss some (which we always do) someone can add to the lists--maybe something to think about for another thread?

 		BONHAM
I may be fished but here is BONHAM, it is also known as Barking Sands Military Reservation, it was named in 1948. In 1954 the island off the hawaiian islands was officially named Bonham Air Force Base.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/pmrf.htm Read the page attached to this link. It talks about Bonham Air Force Base. Like Bonham on the rail car. I found this to be interesting reading.

Check the "Game Summary," the "Quick Summary until 17th November" thread, and he "search" function.

Ok then, thanks for that, saved me a lot of time that i could have stupidly spent trying to connect the two Very Happy

Also has anyone tried emailing 'Josh' from hooklineandminker?
his email is 'hlm1963@yahoo.com', I'm guessing 1963 is his date of birth, and since the movie is set in the 70's, so I'm guessing he had something to do with it.

Hey guys, so I'm new to the whole arg thing, but I'm kinda getting into it.

I'm thinking super 8 may actually be connected to cloverfield?

The scariestthingieversaw.com website has connections to that hooklineandminker.com blog, which the admin of is trying to obtain a Coelacanth, which is supposed to be the link between fish evolving into tetrapods.

The coelacanth came from the sea, it's descent evolved to live on the land.
Clover also came from the sea to the land.

So I'm thinking Super 8 might actually be a prequel to Cloverfield, they possibly had something like an ancestor of clover (which somehow clover freakishly evolved to be massively larger?) or maybe even something like clover as a baby or egg or something.

I don't know, I just have a hunch that it's about clover's origin.

 		The Mystery Truck
You're not far off relating the truck in the original vid with S8, (and again, I don't know if the truck and the convoy had anything to do with the UFO and helo chase) but it is a fact that there is not a railway line from/through/to Area 51, so in the movie there must be a mode of transportation from Area 51 to the nearest rail line (which I believe would be Vegas.)

That being said, there are planes that have massive carrying capacity and could have easily hauled the S8 cargo from Area 51 to Nellis AFB, but why stop there, why not just fly to Dayton?

So, it's highly likely that the S8 Mystery box was transported via tractor trailer to Vegas, and then connected to the railway to Dayton.

If the truck and its entourage were part of some response team in reaction to the UFO sighting, it would be interesting to know what that truck was hauling. I was thinking (if it was involved in the UFO chase) that it may have been some concentrated EMP projector? Confused

Thanks for the vid, I checked Youtube and there are a BUNCH of vids regarding this incident. One interesting one was sort of a compilation of some of the many that have been posted--bottom line some believe it was a hoax, while others claim the person responsible for the "stunt"--a truck with a RC airplane with neon/led lights was supposedly arrested, but it seems that after the "arrest" the blue meanie was filmed later on that night, and that the same one(?) was seen in different states.

And then there were the ones that were seen on the 13th (which was supposed to be the date someone had predicted UFO sightings).

Yhe interesting thing about the vid you posted is the large tractor trailer that was towing a flatbed with rather unusual cargo (with police escort). The police escort and convoy could have just been a coincindence, but the babbling photographer who continues to yell throughout the eff -bomb laced clip, "Danger, they were saying danger, stay away," was rather odd.


Exactly. To me, honestly, it wasn't the supposed "UFO" at the end that sparked my interest. That could be pulled off easily, although the sound accompanying it was curious.

The only reason I though of S8 immediately was the huge cargo truck & police escort. I know, I know, Super 8 is set in the 70's, but nonetheless. =]

ETA: Well, it doesn't look like it requires a police escort... and was moving a hell of a lot faster than the truck in this video.

 		Interesting. The footage reminds me on Cloverfield. Even if it is not related, it's nice clip Smile
