 		Audio. Yes, again
After having listened to it "a quadrillion of times" I found it strange that the atmosphere changes quite suddenly around the 55 second-mark. The whole reverb changes within 10 secs from "free field"/"in your face" to "cavernous space" around that time. The electric pole has a barkish/nature-sound to it while every sound before was pretty "metalic".
OK, might be whatever, just wanted to point at it.

 		I checked last night, the audio is definitely not anything more than 2 channel stereo. I was hoping it was 6 (5.1) channel because that makes it easier to hear various things with all of them split out.

Audacity can export mono WAV files, you just have to know how to tease it out of it. Very Happy
Thanks for the efforts SeekerX.

 		Is there any significance in the power pole falling onto the boxcar before this "creature" starts to escape?

 		We made guesses about that in the Trailer folder, John. To recap: some think the electricity may have either awakened or unleashed the 'thing' inside the boxcar... presumably explaining why such a beastie with apparent telekinetic powers would remain captive for transport until that moment.

Proof of significance, no. Point of speculation, yes.

[And this discussion will likely get moved to the appropriate thread]

Oh yeah, and another tidbit..........the first thing on the pole that looks like a large bold i is the universal symbol for Information. And while I am tired and grabbing for straws, the message on the PDP-11 told us "I can answer your questions. I have proof." There is a giant i written on an I beam! Again, just throwing ideas out there........I will go to bed now before I hurt myself.


ooooh I LOVE this connection... gonna focus on that now...

but also

see posts here about the "Bonham" named train car : http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29519&start=240

That totally confirms the links to train site crash and rail road track http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29553&search_id=876743074

so now we have a 99% posative crash site and train ID what do we do now?

My bad. I did not see any posts about this when I read through the other threads. Thanks for recapping.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. Still, I'm not convinced.

For me, the "2" looks too much like a two, the 1, 7, 0, 4, etc. They look like numbers to me. But, who knows...

Regardless, I concur that these numbers/letters must be the next step, or at least an important clue. They just seem so conspicuously there, meant for us to find and interpret... but what do we do with them?


So, here's what I make of it:

What everybody's been referring to as a + I see as a 7 (in the style of having a line through the base of it).

Therefore, to me, the message looks like "i 21 7 70.44".

Seven digits. Maybe a phone number? 217-7044? But then, what's the area code?

However, maybe the larger 7 really is a plus sign, making it 21+70.44, which equals 91.44. So what do we do with that number?

I think someone mentioned already that maybe it's an IP address. If that's the case, where do we put the dots? It would have to be something like 21.7.70.44? Or, 217.7.0.44?


(A Few Minutes Later)

Okay, it's very late. Maybe this is nothing and/or just a coincidence. Also, trout me as necessary. However I just did an IP look-up on 21.7.70.44. See for yourself (under IP owner info) http://ip-lookup.net/?21.7.70.44

DoD Network Information Center? As in Department of Defense? And, it's in Columbus, Ohio. Didn't we say the train wreck happens in Ohio?

Still though, it says it was registered in 1991. The other IG sites were registered with hosts like "GoDaddy". I don't think the producers are so well connected as to be able to use military IP addresses. Somehow I think this is OOG.

Trying to connect doesn't work. Ping says it's private or behind a firewall.


So let's try 217.7.0.44...

I think you should check this website out. It's in regards to the first IP address you located.

throwing it out there, probably bs
21+70.64 = 91.64?

on a calculator, that looks like it might spell a word. i keep seeing the word "help" when you turn it upside down.

maybe the numbers might be wrong, but the theory may have something to it.

Received 12 November 1970. Available online 15 October 2002.

Abstract
A spherical scattering chamber for 64 solid state detector telescopes in fixed positions is described. The scattering chamber has been constructed to allow detection of multiparticle processes with high efficiency (13% of 4Ď€) and good angular resolution (1°). This combination was possible using Î"E-detectors of the “Checkerboard” type. The geometry has been calculated to allow optimal homogeneous density for measurements as a function of the angular variables for both single and multiple events.

I can't open the PDF as you have to pay for it. But from what I can tell it's to do with nuclear, particle reactors and telescopes....

So to me it reads that the 21 70.64 is directions to the telescope of where it needs to point - can any one help to expand this further?

[Edit]Merged - MikeyJ


Thank you gefenm11.

I don't know where to post this but... looking into the numbers I'm seeing similarities with format. I just read in Blue Book they did use the BOL system above for targeting a telescope NewScientist page 231 , and then (see my post in braegen) I noticed the similarities between the frequencies of those to the mp3 we have... oooh I dunno, I think there is a connection there.

 		the official Super 8 website runs a video of some letters similar to the trailer.

http://www.super8-movie.com/

Any chance of having some information there?

 		Slinky, can you shorten that link of yours so it doesn't blow out the browser scroller? You can use Goo.gl This or any number of tiny URL creators.
