The Europa Report. New ARG? viral site for 2013 Europa Report movie Ran across a few articles and websites for a new movie being released in 2013 called "The Europa Report". Did a search on Unfiction and nothing turned up so sorry in advance if this has already been covered.
The new website has lots of username and password protected pages.

Interesting. I think I've watched all of the video loop and the only things I found to be possible clues were the words on the seal (the motto is "Post Tenebras Lux", or "Light After Darkness", for which I've included the Wiki page for below) and the alternating patterns of light in certain scenes which suggest a visual signal. I didn't spot any of the astronaut's names written in the ship scenes or other words in the video which might help us figure out the logins. Nothing in the source either, as far as I can see.

I believe that the rest of the words on the seal are the astronauts' names.
Clockwise: Blok (Blak?), Currigan, Qasque (?), Luxembourg, a Eastern European name that begins with "Pe-" and ends with "-va" (going to guess Petrova), and Xu.

It's all pretty Vanilla at the moment, but something tells me that this is going to take of pretty soon. I like the ship interior. Reminds me of 2001.

I just checked the site and it seems the login page doesn't do anything... the login form does not link itself to any resource to actually submit login information... and thus no matter how hard you will try to login, it will not work... yeah, I've checked the code first, to see if there's any clues how to login or so... additionally, I'm sure you all already know the video is pre-recorded... and just loops...

Very interesting... I like these insights into the space program
Btw, here is the link to the whole video feed: http://www.europaventuresllc.com/media/videos/web_reel_800kbps_640x360.iphone.mp4 (ca 50 Mb)
I wonder, how will we be able to login there...

maybe they'll activate the login later on..... I guess they might still be working on the parts that's supposed to go behind the login...

I had been keeping an eye on this but to no avail.

perhaps this was prematurely moved to the archives? The movie is still slated to be released sometime in 2013, according to an article I ran across today.
from Silver Screen Saucers :

That site embeds a trailer -- scroll down that page or click for YouTube directly. (Oh nevermind, it's the same link from November 12 posted above.)
Anyway, it seems worth following in the background, to see whether the viral site is put to further use.

Something I did notice is that the stock exchange numbers at the bottom change every time you refresh the page. Maybe we can discern a pattern and figure out what the logins are?

From what I found in the source code is that the stock numbers are randomly generated, I took a look at the video and the orange clip label in the top right when it was in POV mode said K. Petrovna. I am deducing that this is the name of one of the six astronauts, I also paused the teaser video at the points of static and I am not sure if anything could be taken from these images but I think our efforts should be there to see if we can find anything for a login or password if there is one.
