Probably not, but



dakara systems? IMO the three dots seems generic, maybe we need more clues before we connect it to something?

OH but the two dots on the right that are on the truck seem closer to each other than the dot on the left.

Looks like you typed into the console, instead of chat login line - I also had some weird words in the console, before I realised, it was what I typed in Smile

It would appear that Mysterioso is also being looked for like Josh.. He keeps making references to "waiting until its safe' to contact Josh.. to me this infers that not only are these 'they' people looking for Josh, they have been looking for Mysterioso as well.. How does Mysterioso know when its safe?

(reminds me of Marathon Man.."Is it safe?")

Anyway, just trying to understand the situation as laid out.. It would appear that Mysterioso is also a wanted man ... but why?

Stay tuned..

3 Dots

Okay, so it's sufficive to say that the 3 dots are on the USAF trucks. So, the can belonged to the USAF and Josh's dad and or mom were privy to confidential information. And it's now safe to say that unequivicably that Josh Minker's site IS tied to this game. (There were some doubting Thomas') Now, the next question is, does the MP3 file on the STIES site mean more than just proof that Josh can be found. Does the blue can/cam with the lion on it have any bearing? Has anyone in Weirton seen anything that remotely fits the description?

Also, why were there only two typos in the chat transcript? The y in tyell and the t in about: ?

maybe the three dots on the cylinder are not related to the ones seen on that trucks
they could be also just some placeholders for processing computer grafics and are by coincidence "also" three dots
think of them like the motion capture dots on actors when they get replaced by cgi's ........

Yes, it sounds reasonable - the marks for layers, which will be added in post production.


I don't know for sure that the dots on the truck and on the cylinder are related. Maybe they are markers for cgi. Then again...anything's possible.

Lillian has pretty much packed up and headed west to LA. Sad While she was here in Weirton, I didn't see anything that stuck out as blue can/cam - lion/line related. There were so many details - I easily could have missed something.

whats about the braegen file

i just have a feeling that Josh meant that weird sounds that he is not understanding

the conversation audio is obviously just a proof for josh that mysterio could easily find him

the strange sounds are the key for the next step

we should think more about that, without diggin to deep into ridiculous wave frequency golden ratio bullsh*tt

The salmon colored trailer and the three dots threw me for a loop. I was thinking that maybe the color was unique to a in game military contractor. But Salmon color? Then it hit me that they must be that color for editing sort of like a green screen affect? Perhaps the blue or green blended in too well with the surroundings so the off pink color would stand out for digital editing later in production just like others think the three dots are for?

So then my attention turned to the markings on the USAF trailer. There should be some resemblance to actual military designations and a possible clue. Every number and letter group have a meaning. I tried to search for ARGO and the TF88 as they would be the easiest to decipher. Unfortunately the only thing I came up with was a Task Force 88 (TF88) but they were Navy, however they worked on a secret project called Operation Argus
Not exactly ARGO but neat it was similar and could fit the background to this kind of film.

I will continue to do some more research on the markings. Anyone ever deal with military transportation that could shed some light on the subject?

gramma;

I tend to agree with what you've stated, so any suggestions on where we haven't explored regarding the Braegen file?

3 dots
symbol definitions

Possible symbol references:
http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/26/index.html

~rain
~mathematics:therefore
~hobo dots (faith, hope & love)
~signifies ruins on a US map (ship landing sight?)
~alchemy sign for sand/gravel
~oil
~the holy trinity
~mining systems use it for silver
~early chemistry used it for ether
~pawnbrokers and money-lenders


And on a separate note... i went on to airforce.com's website and found an icon for "sharethis.com". You may have seen it already, it's a website that links to yahoo, google, twitter and other social networking sites to share webpages all over the place. Wouldn't you know their logo has 3 dots as well. Probably unrelated, but maybe a clue to how they're going to spread the next marketing idea?

Three dots

I may be out on a limb but the three dots could just be from the light design on the bottom of the aliens' ship. What better code? So the cannister with the three dots that contained the film clip can be matched to the trucks with the three dots.

I may be wrong but I have a feeling that the next clue may be in the film clip. With the references to this piece of footage it just makes me think that we will have to pay a bit more attention to it. For example, the squiggle that show up on the screen at random. When I first started watching the clip it showed upmaybe once. Now it shows up 5 or 6 times during the clip. That must mean something.
