So I just watched Cloverfield again on DVD and at the almost end, Rob tells in front of the camera, that it's 6:42, Saturday, May 23. The Super 8 Viral Campaign started at May 6th and Cloverfield happened during the 23th of May.

I am not saying that they're related to each other, BUT I do say that it's both from J.J. Abrams, so I quess that could be a link and that there could happen something at May 23, with Super 8, the Viral Campaign.

I think its supposed to be puppeteers, since thats an actual word, pointing to the u/o swap. Obviously, all you need is an F in the middle and you have UFO. Anyone try entering this into the Drive command prompt, like you would in MS-DOS (C:/) as F:/?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO_(TV_series)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerry_Anderson (The UFO puppeteer)

"UFO Trailer â€" Recently, it was reported that super-producer Robert Evans with the British ITV network, along with the UFO cult classic seventy lead to the big screen. Gerry Anderson, creator of the series, said the news with surprising optimism. In an interview, Anderson said he was contacted by the U.S. producers of the new film and has high hopes that this will lead to him with a role in the film: “I received a call from someone in the U.S.. It was nice that, in fact â€" refers to:” Gerry, listen, there an ad out now [in the new film], and do not want to come as a surprise for you “, a movement that was natural. Accordingly, I have had a long discussion with them. It would not help to blow it up bigger than is, but I feel that I highlighted at the end as a consultant on the film. “This is something that the transition from the last time may be an emission Anderson had received treatment from Hollywood. Manufacturers of 2004 Thunderbirds enough disaster movie has been invited for the first time Anderson as creative consultant, but quit days later when they decided they had enough people on the payroll. Anderson Thunderbirds movie has been described as “the biggest load of trash that the sound never seen in my life is right. Despite this bad experience before, Anderson is cautiously optimistic that UFOs will be different from terrible remakes of Hollywood classics Thunderbirds many British shows are: “There is a very sad story about remakes, Thunderbirds, the film was a disaster, and The Avengers, and so on. But I hope and believe, I believe, without a doubt that this could be the exception. “UFO film is still in development. The original series is available on DVD and highly recommended.

Damn it Beavis. Is this site ever going to open. this blows. Maybe my theory about regular business hours- Mon thru Fri 9-5 edt. was right. I guess well have to wait and see. Something better happen soon. the wait is killing me. We already had to wait a week for the first one and now this. The PM's are masochists

Was this "business hours" thing the case for other args? Because I don't see why a website would have business hours.

also, the sun is definitely behind the moon. after adjusting the color tones you can obviously see the suns corona and prominences, like the one the father's finger is pointing directly to.

Also, another observation, behind the rocket poppeteers lettering, there is something. The background should be white but instead its colored even though the circle ends obviously higher.

why would a website have hours to begin with? i have never seen one other than this one. Has anyone else? just speculating.

Back to that map!

Sorry, I know you've probably moved on, but that map, with the key on the road, seems to have a hidden image on it... Not sure if anyone has noticed it or not... The field above the key image looks photoshopped, especially when compared to the Bing map Razz

The field, i'm guessing, has been turned over since the Bing snap, but if you zoom out so that it just about fills the map box area and blur your eyes a little, you can see what appears to be a human shaped figure lying down... I think it's a box, with something locked inside (hence the key underneath, and the strange 6628 number at the side of the key, a combination maybe?) Just look, for me, so I know I'm not crazy! There's a head on the left hand side and definite other features that suggest this.

Also, on this website, http://www.realwebsiteworth.com/rocketpoppeteers.com thought it was funny to see the name of a location to the left of where the RocketPopp's server supposedly is; "Surprise!"

Has anyone also noticed the giant dotted "X" on the field just down and to the right of the key? Not sure what significance, if any, any of this information has, just thought I'd share what's on my mind while we're waiting for this site to open it's doors!

I checked the moon phases for May, 1963 and it looks like May 18th or 19th of that year (Sat and Sun respectively) are the closest matches to the particular moon on the RP site.

 address of rocketpuppeteers cut (P.O. Box #1331 Minot, ND)
possible address background...

I searched the actual address and found that it look to be in the middle of nowhere important (big surprise). But If you google search the address, you get a result stating there is a FBI office located in Minot, ND. further in the search result pages, There is a link leading to a Supreme Court case regarding Railroad safety (a link to the trailer train?) stating the background of the case being:

"In the early morning hours of January 18, 2002, a freight train derailed 31 of its 112 cars on track owned and
maintained by respondent Soo Line Railroad Company
(also known as Canadian Pacific Railway), about a half
mile from the city limits of Minot, North Dakota. Twelve
tank cars, containing liquefied anhydrous ammonia,
ruptured or were damaged, resulting in the release of
220,000 gallons of anhydrous ammonia into the atmosphere
and creating a toxic cloud that blanketed the city of
Minot. One resident, John Grabinger, died from exposure
to the ammonia; a multitude of others suffered serious,
long-term injuries to their lungs, eyes and respiratory
systems."

http://www.citizen.org/documents/lundeencert.pdf

Not sure if either this FBI location or railroad case have any link or if this is just the most random coincidence I've found regarding this viral campaign. Props to all the work Unfiction has done so far!!
