Well Spent two hours down and around the Grassy Knoll did not see anything. Say a couple walking around possibly looking for themselves. No verizon or droid X marks that i could find. Drove by the American Airline Center and everything there says AT&T. So guess waiting for the next clue

I think that Droid landing spot #2 should be in socal or AZ, which I hope it is phoenix, on the other forum, it talks about sun, which we have a lot of, and one of hte few with only 1 clue. I also think, how could they leave Phoenix out of a large promotion like this? Lets hope since i have my GPS ready to go.

Here we go...

This is it. Droid chasers in NY prepare to move in.


looks like the certificates are only hidden when the GPS coordinates are releases, and then only for 4 hours. Anyone who was searching before now came up empty for a reason.

UPDATE:
40 45.173 N, 74 00.599 W

So have we had any UFers move on any of the Droids? So far there have been Droids recovered in NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco.

I had planned on being in LA for the drop and I knew it was going to be at pinks after the DC one was found at Bens Chili Bowl but I had work today.

@DroidLanding just tweated a link that is odd

The page it takes you to has audio that sounds like R2D2, and the title of the page is:
R2D2 Transmission 2P2TZO19F99SOWWZDX8VIO1ACS7XVGBER61FBRCOR371MONSWT

a Star Wars tie in?
and check out the URL

http://www.tinoonstationcargofacility2.com/r2d2/transmissions/2P2TZO19F99SOWWZDX8VIO1ACS7XVGBER61FBRCOR371MONSWT

I'm sure that it has something to do twith the new R2-D2 version of Verizon's Droid 2

http://www.droiddoes.com/r2d2/

Looks like another giveaway. Win a Droid R2-D2 by finding schematics scattered across the internet. There is an area that you can input translated coded message to be entered into a drawing to win the phone. There is also a Tweet Translator which I haven't quite figured out yet.

ETA:

If you enter http://www.tinoonstationcargofacility2.com/r2d2/transmissions/2P2TZO19F99SOWWZDX8VIO1ACS7XVGBER61FBRCOR371MONSWT into the tweet translator, C3PO says something about the Battle of Yavin, uniting the call signs as a cipher and then a link http://bit.ly/a0Ytzp. I've tried pretty much all the combinations of the call signs I could think of.

Probably a reference to the famous quote from the Battle of Yavin in Episode IV

"All wings report in. — Red Ten standing by. — Red Seven standing by. — Red Three standing by. — Red Six standing by. — Red Nine standing by. — Red Two standing by. — Red Eleven standing by. — Red Five standing by."

So I'm assuming the numbers are what's important. Possibly only SIX and FIVE.
