I thought at first that there might be some binary at the 1-second mark (or thereabouts, but it just looks like 10 10 10 repeated over and over.

I'm beginning to think this is merely a viral ad campaign rather than an ARG.

Well, 'they're' certainly active this morning on twitter and FB;

but I think likewise Cortez...

had a look at the sequences of tens and counted them. Listing them from top to bottom yields this list:

26-19-12-42-42-19-34-22-23-38-36-21-22-12-(empty line)-8

27-19-12-43-43-19-35-22-23-39-36-22-22-13-(empty line)-8

The second list is taking the tens into account that were cut off at the left or right side.
Though, I do not know what to make of it yet. ( if there is something in this, at all )

Edit:
Added a screenshot of the sequence

[Cortez]

The two lists are almost identical, but where there is a difference it's a difference of 1.

Looking at the differences gives:

10011010010101-0

Can't get that to translate to anything useful though.

Hmm.. could we be looking at a viral for some mobile tech launch..?

The reporter at East Yorkshire area has what appears to be a mobile tower behind him and there is what appears to be the same early in the video footage also - HTC Desire Z/T-Mobile(tmo) G2, some reports of it being pushed back to the 10th October

I received a YouTube friend request shortly after the email came through.

http://www.youtube.com/user/modelmotion

Check the latest video for...something I don't quite know what to make of.

Also this user listed his website as http://www.webseriestoday.com/

It really kind of looks like a gamejack to me. Thing is that I don't know how they linked this game with my YouTube account. I haven't made any comments on any of the They're Here videos. I'm not following them or friends with them. I'm going to put a warning out there though:

DO NOT SEND EMAIL TO THE ADDRESS IN THE VIDEO

It is a nasa.gov email domain and could land you, the PMs or unforums in BIG trouble if anyone emails a nasa.gov address with a bunch of nonsense about alternate reality plots and alien conspiracies.

[Cortez]

The YouTube user modelmotion has been a member since 2006. Not necessarily a problem but odd given that PMs usually set up dedicated accounts for the game.

I'm giving this one a miss unless something substantial happens.

modelmotion is the creator of the web-series list on twitter for a while now and the www.webseriestoday.com site, I would read it as a coincidence re 10.10.10 and/or fan/player rather than a "game jack" or a PM... Pretty much trails everything ARG...

Yeah I don't really have a problem with fan made videos when it's obvious that's what it is. I take some issue that they actively sought me out (I still can't figure out how or why they associated my YT account with this game) and that the video could EASILY be viewed as a kl00, one that could potentially lead people to email youarenotaloneSPLATnasa.gov

[Cortez]

I sent a tweet to Paul T. Geist asking for confirmation that it was not an 'official' video. Got this response...

[Faffyfoo]

Umm guys, I don't think modelmotion is anything to do with this He is someone who gets involved with a lot of ARG's but has never (to my knowledge) been part of one.
Interesting stuff, this 10.10.10 business

[modelmotion]

I do not know Jack.

this probably has nothing to do with it....
