Interesting tidbit of information. Cygnus, the constellation the guild spotted the red fluffy dots in, is the Latinized Hellenic (Greek) word for Swan. According to Wikipedia.

Yesterday http://www.newtonastronomers.com/ had an advert on the right side of the page, that was a quote from Full Metal jacket but replaced the word gun, with swan. Clicking it led you to the GL Bootcamp site.

Seems swan may be a recurring theme. No big reveals or anything, but I found it somewhat interesting. Smile

Also now that I'm home here is the email I received just to have them all documented:

Crap. That last post was me, was to excited and didn't notice I wasn't auto logged into the site. Sorry about that.

Also if anyone has any questions about the Green Lantern mythos or anything Green Lantern related to this arg/viral feel free to ask me, I am a HUUUUGE Green lantern fan, and will be more then happy to talk.

Okay I'm done spamming this thread for a bit. Razz

The ad for the video game on the Newtonastronomers site says:

"This is my Angry Swan. There are many like it but this one is mine."

I got my response from AW today, as well. I received the same response that REDSTORMLOJ got... I sent the form letter that was provided. I am wondering if people who got different responses wrote their own message? I am thinking there is a certain number of these responses set, but I do think it is interesting that they are taking the time to change them up a bit.

Looking at the bleedingcool site, I noticed this response...

"Pretty amazing project. Maybe Nick Risinger can help you guys, Ellie."

Anything on this Nick Risinger guy, other than in the Gizmodo article? I am wondering if he is part of the game or just one of those guys accidently "dragged in" due to a nice photo he took

it looks like the entire Space forum on bleeding cool has to do with this. The Final Front Ear thread even mentions that it's connected to an ARG.

My response from AW noted at the end that she is at "Belle Reve", which is a nice tie in to the whole DC Universe. Also, I wonder if she is going to be the tie between different movies, possibly leading up to a Justice League film in the future? (kind of like the SHIELD tie ins in the Marvel films leading to the Avengers movie)

I know I have been quiet about my posts lately.

Yes, I sent in a custom message to AW talking about seeing Green Meteors.
AW wrote me back right away with great interest asking for evidence/proof. I sent her a few pics in response. She again wrote me back wanting more information and attached a link to a youtube video. The odd part of the video has a web site attached! I saw there were other videos of green meteors without web sites that could have been sent instead. I think the web site is OOG but I'll let you check it out and decide if we have a RH.

Brian, from the Newton Astronomers Guild, from here-on out referred to as N.A.G. since I don't want to type that out every time, is interacting on the bleeding cool forums with me here http://www.bleedingcool.com/forums/showthread.php?41435-Largest-True-Colour-Sky-Survey-Created

Looks like this is going be the primary place to communicate with the members of N.A.G.

I got my reply back from Waller it was the same as Redstormloj reply. Has anybody actually looked at Cygnus with a telescope? I doubt that we'll actually find a difference but that's what Waller keeps on asking us to do.

I dont own one but I did do a ton of googleing for cygnus and h-filter. NAG said the red dots were more visible with that filter. Theres a pic on nasas site if u search for it. It looks like red fluffy dots, but everything in the pic is red because of the filter.
