In the 10th image with Belle, on that poster, you can see "Lucas 1:37"

Is that a clue?

For no word from God will ever fail.

Hey I've never posted here but being stuck at the mall all day with just a phone I saw the posters and have been reading this page for a few hours, so forgive me if anything of this was already discussed.

The post about a page ago about the Bell code and her name could just be a code of somesort. I wonder if finding this code (or perhaps deciphering the second leaked image code as well) will provide us with the correct URL address and possibly lead to the next big breakthrough.

That's one of my ideas anyway.

Unfortunately, after much research, I am leaning heavily towards this being a social experiment. The case for it so far seems stronger than for any other theory. Lets look at why.

1) The "application"- This was the first thing that got me suspicious. They have an application to join their cause, "help", and said they've filled out on accepted people. Strange. I have been to probably most of the boards/blogs discussing 8-3-11 and have yet to see people (there was only 1 I saw but confirmed to be a troll) saying they were accepted. I find it impossible to believe that not a single person among those accepted would go to forums/discussions and spoil it/give their insiders view and bask in the fame. Being that this is an online thing and everyone is annonymous and they have no relationship with the creators, there would be little to no incentive for every one of them to keep these secrets. Even if they don't reveal much or anything to the people accepted, I am sure some would at least brag about being accepted or share a general idea of what they said in the application that got them accepted as that would be a major clue. Basically, I don't think they've "accepted" anyone and don't intend to.

Theres even a formspring answer "There is a member from a forum that is saying you were accept him for 8𠖥1. Is that right? I think not.

He's lying."
Now look at this, the question was vague and did not say which forum it was, yet they knew he was a liar, how? How would they know that one of the accepted didn't go to a forum and say they were accepted, they can't control what these people would be doing at home on the internet. The only way they would know hes a liar, without even knowing which forum is being spoken of is if ANYONE claiming to be accepted ANYWHERE would be a liar because they didn't actually "accept" anyone.

So to me this mean the application is probably part of the experiment, part of the data collection. They could be interested in the wide range of theories people can come up with from random "evidence" and how those theories spread, how many coincidences/connections can be found from a given word or who know what else. The question asking how they found out about 3/8/11 seems to be another tipoff in this direction, a classic question for a researcher to ask in an experiment like this.

2) Too many damn clues- Cab, Bacteria, Cles, Roof, Rasalhauge, Ophiuchus, oero, Condone, Hiel, Dynamic, Mailbox, Youth, I Fell Down, 115, Michigan, Burnings, 18000, 36000, 175000, Nested, tier 1/2, Several, Repair, Rococo, Sucu(lant), Tax, Eye, Law, Federalist sympathies, Tounce, Tair Vende, Sell, Volley, Penn, Belle, Altair, 8311, all born 11-11 (lol basically impossible), 8611, 264, skin disease, Germany, chicago, texas, conet project, retraction, dont drink coffee, NATO, bagels, bob dylan, copyfight, BrutalityUnnec, stone throwing, 1984, 1928, 1934, Alphekka, Sam, Cassiopeia, 38.451%, umbrella, etc...

You see what I'm saying here? These are all "clues" they have given out, theres just way too many of them to make any sense of. Theres no way these can all be connected. Following any one of them or combo of them with google searches or what not leads you on completely different paths, theres limitless different theories you can come up with based on which words you focus on and they give ZERO indication which words we should be focusing on. Either they are the WORST damn puzzle helpers of all time, or they are basically just throwing tons of different things out there just to see what we come up with, for their experiment.

The more random "clues" they give out, the more impossible the search becomes. Clues should be related and lead you along a certain path, these do not do that at all, they open up infinite completely different paths to follow. Either they have to give some way to tie all these ridiculously different random clues together or tell us very specifically which ones to focus on or this is just an unsolveable mess, and probably meant to be so.

Theres more reasons but this post is long and I think you get the idea. To me it seems like this may be an experiment (or even just a game for their amusement) and we are the subjects and some people are going to be pissed off on 8/3/11 lol. Either that or they just are new to this and really, really bad at painting a coherent picture with related clues. Of course, I hope I'm wrong, and theres something cool being announced on 8/3/11, but I find it hard to believe theyd drag us through this whole convoluted game if they actually had something urgent to say.

I have just spent 3 days reading 75 pages and my brain is in overload at the moment. One of the answers in the 8-3-11 website says that the new pictures of Belle are key. So i went into the pictures again and looked at each one closely. and one POPPED out at me. There is a lost dog photo of a Yorkie. "YOUR KEY" and it looks photo shopped to me. I cant see anything about the picture itself that might be a key. The rest of the pictures dont look odd untill you get to the 25th picture from the top. theres a girl with her hands up and her face is blurred out. above her head theres these two round thigs that just dont look right. they just dont look like they belong there. I tried to save that pic to my computer to post but it wont save IDK why. Also why are only 3 of the pictures clickable. but the rest are not. The first one is Labeled Germany. Thenext two are lableld "Nature" "nurture"(I KNOW you guys went over that but bear with me here). In Psychology , Nature versus Nurture is the study of how our Inherited traits and outside environments influnces shape who we become. these 2 pictures are clickable. I wonder if this is nothing more than a psychology test for a thesis paper.


And in that Yorkie picture there are two keys in the mailbox. Hmmm...


mmmh ... two keys, two clues? ...
Bay Knoll? ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_Knoll,_Houston
Yorkie? is a breed of dog, I do not think it's the dog's name
6 / 13? anniversary of the earthquake in Chile (2005)?

8 3 11
Lunar Landing

Has anyone thrown this out?

I think these guys are going to try and present/release evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the Apollo 11 landing never took place, thereby forcing what they have called a "retraction." Why? Here's my guess. That picture with the yorkie reward poster and mailbox keys (remember, they said the pictures were "key") had a URL with Altair. Altair translates to Eagle, the lunar module on 11. Also, Apollo 11 had a flight time of 8 hours and 3 minutes. Could 8-3-11 be hours, minutes and mission numbers. Also, in the yorkie picture it names Bay Knoll, which is in Houston. Finally, NASA has an Advisory Council meeting on Aug 2-3 which is open to the public. That gives quite a bit of meaning to 8-3-11. One last point, if you add 18,000, 175,000 and 36,000 numbers, you get 229,000. The distance from the earth to the moon varies from about 222,000 miles to 252,000 miles. I can't find the distance when Apollo 11 went, but you never know.

How's that for crazy thinking? How does Belle fit into this? I have no clue. Thought she might have been Wehrner von Braun's daughter, but that didn't fit.

this is just a great year to play with numbers, mostly 11 or 1.

Just for curiosity: if you take your birth year last 2 numers and add your age what you fill in this year, you will get 111.

example: you were born in 1928, so 28+83=111 Very Happy

8 3 11 correction

Actually, Apollo 11 flight time was 8 DAYS, 3 HOURS! I screwed that up.

I can agree this! And I think you guys see somthing big in this nothing


I am from Mexico ... The image called "heil" has these items:
The oval in the upper right corner is a campaign of Guadalajara, Jalisco "Si tomas pasa el volante" http://www.dk1250.com/local/10153-Concluye-campaa-tomas-pasa-volante.rss
The bulletin board there is a picture of "chicharito", Mexican soccer player in the Gold Cup
http://www.mlssoccer.com/es/news/article/2011/06/26/copa-oro-chicharito-destaca-fuerza-mental-en-m%C3%A9xico-para-sobreponerse-las-ad
The girl's gaze is directed to this photo.
At the top right of the board there is a purple ribbon is the symbol of the campaign to decriminalize abortion in Mexico but also a sign of mourning http://circulodeestudios-centrohistorico.blogspot.com/2010/09/dia-mundial-por-la-despenalizacion-del.html
Clues? I don't think so
It is noteworthy that the photos with the face edited (michigan and heil) both are Latino people not necessarily as it says 175,000 "South American"
Please excuse my bad English

They actually told us that 8.3.11 is a date, probably not much more, although the mystery is how they came up with that date. The whole Apollo 11 theory is intriguing to me, however id still be confused as to the significance of Bella and the split image as well as all the random clues with the images and the leaked image. Although did you consider if it does have to do with Apollo 11, are the leaders numbers possibly the distances at which each part of the shuttle broke off during flight (I don't know much about space travel so forgive Me if this sounds dumb)

I still kinda think the whole thing still seems like it could be a social experiment. Maybe they just want to see what the most common theories are when information like this is leaked to public.

Asked a question, omitting the second part:


Does 8.3.11 refer to August 3rd, 2011 or March 8th, 2011?

The latter has already passed, but by stating it is the former you are revealing that you are based in the US as it is the only country to use that format.


Probably nothing important, may already have been been brought up, but I only just began getting into this and I'm quite excited.

I obviously don't know if I'm close to what they're up to, but I did find out that Maria von Braun, wife of Wehrner von Braun, who designed the Saturn V rocket, was born in 1928, which is possibly the same year "Belle" may have been born (2011-83 years = 1928). She was born in Germany, then came to America after marrying. I'd bet she became a citizen, so the 8-3-11 guys wouldn't technically be lying when they said she was American (I think they stated that.) Is that her as a young girl? What would she have to do with this? I find this to be a lot of fun.

They've stated it's August 3 and that they are based in the U.S.

We'd have to say that they're mistaken.

If so I'm flattered by description, if not, someone is thinking exactly like I am, which makes me feel a bit less crazy. Very Happy
