[If the upcoming Alienesque film has made anyone else want to catch up on those that came before it (or should that be after it Confused) Amazon (UK) are selling the anthology for the astonishing price of £9.97:

Managed to have a (very quick) look at the videos,; it doesn't look like Morse to me either but I would agree it could be a waveform of sorts.

I have been wondering if the tweet from the UK account that was mentioned a while ago ('all will be revealed June 1st') is a hint that there isn't anything more to be found, and that the remaining section on the Weyland website will be opened once the film is released...

But then again, who knows what is actually going on here?!? Laughing

Sadly, having a picture of a waveform, it is not possible to reverse engineer that waveform into audio. At best, you could load the graphic as a waveform in certain esoteric digital audio tools, but I think this is straying from the path.

I have a solid 8 years in DA exp, if there is a waveform somewhere, I'd like a closer look at it. I myself have not seen one, and have looked at this stuff repeatedly.

Hey all, been messing around with a theory so here comes the spanner.

Focussing on the investors page there are obvious discrepancies (discussed at length already I know) But assuming that they have ironed out the glitches???? the most obvious is the differences in numbers which are 4 2 6 52 6 1 (LV 426?) Secondly why are there 2 jpegs, easier to be 1. (2 sets of co-ordinates/ numbers) The wording is also different in the jpeg of module 1.4 repeating what is at the bottom of module 2.2

"Gross sales across all verticals have continued to increase with a particular rise in off-planet consumption of Weyland products. Cybernetics has recently become the top grossing vertical surpassing terraforming this past year"

Verticals?( longtitude, altitude ). Cybernetics/terraforming -Pointing towards the sales data? And why are there the NULL sections on module 1.4 (zero's ?)

So I've been playing with the theory that there are two sets of coordinates / numbers
Jpeg 1 +/- 426526
Jpeg 2 +/- 1
Have searched coordinates on earth maps with no luck, moved onto sky maps and have had a near slam dunk, the coordinates 4 26 52.6 -1 hit an unknown star
"usnoa2 0825-01031493" but cant find any more info on it.



The numbers aren't 100% but its interesting that the numbers 4 26 52.6 are smack bang in the middle of the Eridanus constellation. Have been playing with the different variations / numbers from the sales data etc… but nothing. Maybe someone can see something I've missed?

I'm feeling that these numbers have some importance but like previous guests have stated it's getting way too complicated, and am probably am way off track. More headache material???

I like this quote and yeah, I agree with that, it's just that they've been extra sloppy with this. They should've revised this site way before allowing the public to see it, they should've removed the dummy text that was still floating on some places, they should've planned the game to unlock at certain parts at a good ratio, and I'm saying this as someone who works for a web design company, you can't present a product like this to a huge audience like the one participating on this, the errors become more apparent.
Then again, most people just see the unlocked pictures and leave it at that, they probably don't know anything we've done so far...


Yeah - it seems pretty sloppy. The problem is that most of us here want to use our brains. Subject us to some challenging puzzles that lead to solutions that weave us through an immersive storyline that has some connection to the movie. And show us that you have put at least half the thought into creating your viral campaign that we are willing to invest into participating in it.

Of course we are a weird and wonderful group of people that might go overboard at times in looking for hidden messages and the like. This link that catherwood posted in another forum hits hilariously (and somewhat painfully) close to home for me.

http://wondermark.com/813/ (There are 4 parts to it – so be sure to hit the next button.)

Thanks for the link catherwood and to David Malki ! for creating it – I love it!


I missed this by a few pages but RR I fukin loved this and I thank you!! I laughed out loud and looked crazier than normal to the hubby. cathdaddy/Malki also...Wink




Yoko......game jackin eh??? humnnnnn ..dusty..cog..turns...

I hope this thing picks up.. and while i would love free advanced screening tickets, hopefully the story will go beyond viral marketing.

I think we're concentrating on the wrong areas. I think we need to be concentrating on the Davids' area. The have already alluded to what the next module will be on the weyland industries site, and theyve already released a teaser trailer of unpacking a David 8 (which by the way has no statistics on the investor information), with a rather ominous "coming soon" at the end of the video. This is where we need to concentrate our efforts. I think the 'messages hidden with in messages' route we have been following is nothing more than a red herring.

I think that it must be this way, only few thinks come to me:
share price charts (there is a short depreciation arround years 2065)
=> corporate timeline page: "august 11, 2064) "Significantly upgraded space suit includes a variety of Weyland patented features, such as cadium exo-skeleton; info display with mission details; vitals: environmental stats and more." AND MORE ?
have you try to see what is relevant inside the David's Suit ?
screencap: http://waterwolf.online.fr/prometheus/david%27s%20suit.jpg

Anyway, good luck all !

This is a very good point - those who attend premier events in the UK may get something similar to the lenticular posters and the contact card at wondercon which may expand the site. Did anyone ever post an image of the lenticular posters btw?

Also are there any more upcoming events where the movie will be previewed at? Might be clues at those if there are.

It isn't obvious what is a dash and what is a dot and seemingly no gaps between letters.

I'll keep looking but so far I have made the first letter B, C and G

prometheus uk posted a new promo video with a number of new scenes. attached are two i find kinda interesting potentially puzzle-wise: symbols in the orrery and another spectranalysis image in the end.

update / edit: it appears that the spectranalysis ring + 'a' image is old. the screenshot i had of it were covered in credits.

There are 3 flashes that were too quick to see at the end of that trailer (1:13, 1:15, 1:17 or there abouts).

Literally fractions of second flashes (one of which is screenshot, above).

Has anyone been able to capture all of them?

I am currently at work and so can not do so myself Sad

Probably nothing in them but it's worth a shot I guess...

Anyone else notice the striking resemblance of the Orrery to the background of the banner images at weylandindustries.com? (Financial and timeline)

The "lattice"/connect the dots look
