ATS strange background image?

I accessed ATS from my laptop, which does not happen often. while browsing i noticed a very strange background immage!

It looks like a mind map, it has writing on it as well, but i can not make out the language.

has anybody noticed that as well and do you know the meaning and origin of it?

im sorry i cant upload pics! it only opens a box but i can not interact with it?

I have it saved on my laptop, maybe someone can help me out on this?

reading helps

The Alienware one ?

Thats one of the back grounds that came with my Alienware computer. Holy crap i'm getting Add attacked they are popping up in the post ..

Probably an image from the Caret website - stuff, claiming to be alien tech.

edit

It is the one with dial like circles and lines connecting them

I actually used it as an element in several avatars I created. I think it's nice design.

Peace

That's what it is from. I had forgotten the name of the site, but I remembered the story (hoax). When you posted the name, I remembered it. It was a clever hoax though.

When I did a reverse image search. The oldest thing that came back is from 2016 originating here .

I thought it was Klingon at first but apparently it’s Atson?

Raise the deflectors!

Yes, if I remember correctly, those are markings from a Los Alamos scientist who claimed that these were able to be "printed" or "placed" upon a surface with other similar parts and that they can "Self Execute".

I know, mind blowing, executable programming language on the surface of an object.

You are just noticing these images now?

They have been there for years. Literally years.

This page here has a picture of an Information Technology Industry meeting behind the grey screen. I see Dean Garfields nameplate on the dais.

Yeah the ad attacks keep happening. Oh well the site ran well for a whole what forty eight hours?

So far this thread has had the moon landing photo, a picture of the Watergate Hotel, riot police and the first one of that meeting as the background image. . Every time I post something the background image changes. This has been like this for a very long time.
