 		How about the red star shaped light in on the ship in the third picture indicating a Russian spacecraft? The first thing you find for a " red star" search is that it symbolizes Russia.

 		1957
Two very good events happened in 1957.

1. I was born.

2. Scientists at the NACA Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory (now NASA's Glenn Research Center) began research on ion engine propulsion.

 		Okay, I cant find the specific interview im talking about right now, but I remember it being with both Scott and Lindelof in the middle of March. They were talking about the viral campaign and being enigmatic about it. Scott does something like 'touching the screen' and he says "and there it is" and Lindelof cuts him off saying "dont give it away!" or something of the like

Now we have: "We thought it would be a good idea to advertise and never mention the movie. That's why we opened up to TED. That went down extremely well, and it's a good trick we learned from advertising. The next one will go out and talk about David, the Michael Fassbender character. Again, it's utilitarian advertising on a laptop where suddenly this guy is talking to you about being a robot, and you don't know what the f*** he's talking about. At the very end he has a fingerprint that he puts onto the screen, and in his fingerprint, in his natural skin, is a 'W', which is for the Weyland Corporation."


There is something here that Scott almost gave away, we need to find it.

 		I believe he is talking about the next module to be opened: WCCF-73: MODULE B as shown on the Weylandindustries web site

 		You dont believe that there might be something in that next module that will be a clue? Or that the module wont be opened until the next part of the ARG is unlocked?

I had a theory that maybe one of the clues can only be discovered by use of a touch screen, specifically iPad versions of the site. Not done much with that theory though.

The level of social media activity i.e. number of tweets and perhaps Facebook likes caused "timeline" and "about us" to be unlocked on weylandindustries.com Solving log ins to reveal stills is tied to the ARG. Perhaps a combination of both is needed to unlock the "David Module"

"Of course, the tricky part about viral advertising is allowing people to discover it themselves. Just as Lindelof is finishing the previous thought, Scott pipes in: "There's another [ad] coming, selling a product of Weyland Corporation which is for all intents and purposes a human being, called David. We talk about the Weyland Corporation and we never mention the film at all. But at the end, he puts his finger on the screen –""

Lindelof interrupts: "Don't give it away!" So when will we see this full ad? "I don't know what the plan is," Lindelof says, shooting Scott a wide-eyed look. "I didn't even know we were allowed to talk about it." Scott grins: "Oh dear."




He's referring to the W which is imprinted on Davids thumb for Weyland. This will be the full ad coming that is about David 8 Series.

Is it hidden somewhere? Maybe...eh..maybe not. Seems like another metered out installment to keep the word of mouth running. But I would look through the add with a fine tooth comb when I see it for more screen shots.. Drool

Yyyeeees... I know Question

I was just wondering whether or not it was a hint to use a touch screen (but in actuality the iPad version of the site just reverts to the mobile version now so never mind), we seem to see David touching pretty much every piece of tech in those trailers to activate them... including the alien tech it would seem. That W is like a master key!

 		Didn't one of them also talk about Peter Weyland having a W fingerprint himself before getting told off? I'm I saw that quoted on here a few pages back. Confused

Hey all,

I am at work so couldn't look into this in too much detail but I have run a quick check on the Weyland Thumbprint image.

And got the attached results.

While I had the program up I ran a check on all the other files I have downloaded over the course of the Viral/ARG.

One of them I got an interesting result!!!

The original starmap image from the 6EQUJ (Wow Signal) link on the WI site gave the result in the 2nd attachment.

Quote:
Steganography found at marker position 6015820 Hiderman program detected!


Unfortunately, as mentioned, I am at work and can not look further.

Is anyone else in the position where this could be investigated?

I used StegSpy2.1 to run the steganalysis.

Attachments are as follows:

Thumb Print Image
Result from thumb print image
Original starmap image
Result from starmap image

Hope this leads to something interesting.
