Like it may well lean towards licensing, but that isn't to say they didn't select photographs that were perfect for what they were intending for TH

This is something well beyond a reverse image search.
Is that the Goodyear blimp skydock?
Yeah, I found the Goodyear Airdock photo a while back but I never checked the film frame around it.
I randomly zoomed in the photo and found the damn number today.


That's nuts. I live in Akron, OH. I drive by the airdock all the time and remember visiting it as a kid- they opened it up and it was awesome.

Amazing find.

Was thinking why are so many images of antennas, dishes, towers etc.,?

I misread "antennas" as "anteaters" at first

Bump. It's getting hard to find new images. This poster in hi-res could help.
No need to be the whole poster scanned, you can just even photograph the highlighted parts.
Thanks!

Probably because of those infamous numbers stations! Also, one of the recurring themes of the album is "transmissions."

Here's a couple neat bits of trivia:

- If it continues that long, Day 822 of their current ARG is "9/6"/18. 822 is flipped, and of course, 6 is 9 flipped and all that
- Transmisiones Ferox is "2:18"
- There was never a Cosecha Signal Two

About this, I'm 70% confident that they took other pictures from the same site: https://www.eso.org/public/usa/images/?&sort=-release_date.
(Only look for the photos uploaded before the release of TH of course).

Is Fredd-E aware of those findings? I think it's worth putting them on bocpages.
(Also remove that nonsense explanation about the number 822 on the TH page :lol: )

Ah I thought there was a limited number of contributors. Cool, I'll do it another time

To me it's clearly a gas mask... I can tell by the neck shroud... Which is more "hoodish" than diver spandex type material

I only just now looked at this thread and I am blown away. You guys are incredible!

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that these places might be connected in some way. What if this is a giant scavenger hunt?

If the helicopter pic has not been solved yet...
White Cyclosa appears to be a nod to the movie Day Of The Dead (at least the soundtrack)
Is it possible that helicopter is the one in the movie?
