I searched for this in the forums, but could not find it. Could you like me to the post about the smiley face in google earth? I tried it myself and don't think I'm inputting the right criteria.

 		Cleaning up images
These are the (most) the images from earlier in this post which I've cleaned up and orientated. Most are self explanatory (few more to go).

Couple of points:

-There's a code in one of the pictures (not posted yet) - Appears to be a tag on someones neck which is 0C14-0

-There's some Mayan-type imagery, which I wouldn't mention other than the fact that there are also:
1) Meteorites/Bloody big rock like things crashing from the sky (?Taking the Nibiru-esque scenario)
3) More suggestively, the License code on the PD-11 is 1130-A23R-12TR-2012, now may be nothing or could be 11:30 23/12/2012 - Not sure about A--R --TR but the date is mooted to be end of Mayan calender (depends on your calculations), hence "doomsday"

Go speculation....

 		Does anyone else see a car in the seventh image? It looks like a really washed out picture of that pickup truck we saw early in the trailer.

Starting from left to right, I see the following:
In black - A robot with a big gun for his right hand pointed at us.
In white - An alligator head pointed to the left
In black - A scorpion. Tail on the left, body on the right.
In black - An elephant (might have someone on his back) standing on a mini elephant.

I'm pretty sure there's a Brothers Grimm fairy tale in there somewhere...

Yeah I've been keeping an eye there. Before I first posted I read 37 pages of the Super 8 thread and then I saw the rocketpoppeteers one was at like thirty-something and I went to bed. Razz

Rules to the game
So image 17 14 13 line up perfectly and are overlays - Each adding a bit more to the scene (see attached). Initially I thought it was per clip block but there appears to be a bigger game afoot, and the individual images, though suggestive and telling, are nothing more than misdirection. Other blocks of images line up also (see attached), and the interference lines contribute to the image. There appears to be an ?image/message beneath the pictures but I haven't yet got it right and I think I'm missing a couple of images. The rules are simple:

- You can alter contrast and opacity
- No rescaling, no rotations
- Make sure your images are the same orientation as the clip
- Like elements must line up as perfectly as possible
- Generally it appears that areas with very bright contrast (e.g. around meteorite) allow alignment between images.
- Every image must be used (therefore repeats are 2 separate pieces of the puzzle)

Don't be distracted by preconceptions of what the image should be. I suspect once aligned properly, the really crappy quality images that look like pure interference will serve as keys allowing the message to be read. I think there are bright elements in each picture which on their own are nothing, but once properly aligned sum to form part of a message, and I'm starting to get some of this with my playing around.

However, I must now go and do some real work(!). Things to check:

- Have we got every individual screen shot that make up this image? I think I have about 24 but think I might have deleted the ones I thought were blurred cuts between shots.

Then it's merely a case of playing with the opacity across all the aligned images...

.......Fun game Cool

Edit-Some old images removed to make room for new

 		Is it just me, or can you see a face (similar to the one of the child in the trailer) in the last one too? Confused
