How come there are no new sightings pictures on their website?
I was wondering that, too. And with the insane amount of buzz this thing has going on the internet, you know they are receiving pictures, but not posting them. This makes me think they made all of the pics in the sightings area. I asked earlier today if anyone has actually seen any of these in your cities? I haven't seen a single one in Houston.
Is there a way to see if they came from the same camera??
It will probably only get worse

..cannot believe this.
They were toying with us all, lol, it was already said by thefourwinds(with very flattering words, OF course, something like god talking to lambs, you know, that tone..).
Bye, it was nice to meet few good people, and less nice to meet toymasters.

i still think its a bunch of "artistic" hipsters, living in aloft space or something. But I'll have my fun brainstorming with it.

A few other things:
1. The people who are running this game, while making it fun, have also been kind of sloppy at it. They seem to be making up some details as they go along to keep the game going. That is hardly the markings of a group planning to announce something world changing.
2. WHEN it turns out that this was a game, thought exercise, school project, movie or cd, or whatever it will be revealed as...I honestly think that THE VAST MAJORITY of us will applaud their efforts, thank them for the fun game, and if it is some sort of free download or whatever, possibly be interested in checking out the music/movie/game/whatever. Very, very few people will actually feel cheated or screwed over when this is revealed as a harmless game/experiment. Personally, I GUARANTEE that I would watch the movie or give a listen to the music if that is what it is (wouldn't play a video game because I dont play ANY video games). people aren't participating in this because they are convinced they are saving the world, they are participating because these things are interesting, regardless of what the end result is.

The diagrams are depicting some kind of communication setup. (Maybe an alternate internet or shortwave radio network)
Where did you find this as a fact? If you can a link would be appreciated.
I have seen diagrams on ATS that came from 8.3.11 they are out there I don't have the link at the moment

All things coded: Please add this to the recap!
I've been working on the whole code part of this mystery. Here's a summary so far:
I've collected a bunch of images, and done a bit of translating. Please right click and "view" image to see the whole picture.
This is the original leak, in untouched form. Notice the extra text in the upper right hand corner? That was deleted on some of the other pics. I'm calling it Mannequin 1. (Mann 1)

Here's a diagram I found that I thought was interesting.

This is the best translation to date. Notice that d in DONT. was mistranslated, it's actually a c. This is a "stone throwing contraption". Nothing to do with "don't throw stones". Perhaps this has had us skewed for a while. We need a few more new theories here.

Here is the second leaked image, in untouched form. I'm calling him Mann 2.

Here's the best translation so far.

Here is a leaked message from 68000, and my partial translation is included. There are currently only 6 unexplained symbols. There is a substitution cipher used here as well. Working on it.....
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/70656e6f7dab.png[/atsimg]
Here is one key, mostly complete. The only thing I can add is that the letter Y is actually the 5th glyph from the left at the bottom.
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/4e2d460db90c.jpeg[/atsimg]
Here is an earlier key, but it has all the symbols listed. We now know symbol 20 is a V, symbol 22 is a K, symbol 24 is an M, and symbol 28 is a Y. The six unknown symbols are most likely whole words.

Here is the mysterious belle pic with contrast applied. No one has come close to figuring it out yet. I do see several letters of their alphabet there, but I haven't started on it yet. I'm working on the 68000 message, and like a good boy, stepping away from it now and them to let my brain relax.

I'll offer a brief summary from my perspective:
There are four aspects to this mystery.
1) Codes/puzzles.
2) Audio clips.
3) Visual aids.
4) Q&A.
Each need to be blended together, the most important clues from each, and I think that is where the answer lies. The codes, sounds, pictures, and answers need sorted through, and the most significant aspects are the keys.
They said everything was already hosted. I agree, because all four aspects were in place when we started on this. Sure, we had to dig a bit for information, but everything was already there. The Q&A are like nudges in the right direction.
