somebody Photoshopped in that weird symbol from the toilets onto the pic ha

Thank you! And as far as I understand it was posted to the reddit thread before the series with the tiles and so on. In the series from the station several pics including the tile pics with pattern and bird like creatures look very much photoshopped. I work a lot with PS and recognize the deformations you get when you superimpose/scale/fit in graphics. It is actually a very badly done PS job.

Something is going on here.

It's pretty crazy but also the closest thing to a clue since last night.

The road sign might denote mitosis, with z's swapped for the y in the middle.
The symbol on its side looks like The Mothership. I couldn't find an owl cage that looks like that.
The scene where old planes turn up at the beginning of the mystery from that film was actually shot in the Mojave.
This is such a weird tenuous connection that someone has to guide us through it. But perhaps something that disappeared a long time ago will be found just beyond that road sign.
I'm crazy; this is where I can help:) and I love that movie too much. It really reflects this whole thing.

Hope someone feels like hitting that spot before the weekend is over!

I don't care, I'll say it: I hope it's an owl with a code, second half of which is for Adult Swim.

Go vision board!

either there's an owl there with a clue, or mr. acidart is going a very long way for a laugh.

Can people not see the same symbol from the bathroom tile on this pic of the Zzyzx sign??

Is this a big trolling project/red herring, OR is it actually the end of the code. Plenty of clues and plenty of photoshopping if you look closely. http://imgur.com/a/SziMB

that one there, why didn't they slap the diagram onto the clean tile left of the spray paint then and made their hoax job easier?
that image there is not photoshop.

Could easily spray paint it 2 seconds after the drawing of the pattern, proves nothing really, and even can be photoshopped, you'd be surprised at the stuff I can pull with PS and too much time on my hands

Actually it looks like the mothership from the ET Atari game, or maybe space invaders..

Anybody know that story about the horrible un-sellable game cartridges that were supposedly buried in the desert after the first big video game crash? I thought they were found in Arizona though. Maybe there's a Mooninite waiting with a finger in the air.
That's a fun AdultSwim connection, and builds on yet another legend/conspiracy theory.
I shouldn't be up for this but it's addictive.

First off I'm as big of a cynic and skeptic as there is.

The entire gas station deal appeared this morning to be low hanging fruit considering it was on a looping video broadcast in the UK, or Great Britain or what the hell ever was happening at Rough Trade. Some people found the building on the internet. My original Saturday plan was to recoup from a 60 hour work week, drink a few hundred beers, do what I always do on Saturday, etc.
The expectation for legit clues was nill, but the drive in 90 degree full desert sun was great, and it was an hour and a half from LA, no traffic, (no fedoras). And a great reason to put on Old Tunes and hype build.

I 100% agree that searching for clues is boardering on some looney tunes type shit. But nobody knows for sure.

I also agree that finding meaning in a random pole placard is a stretch but it was the most prominent thing next to the gas station and seemed important in the mapped photos displayed this morning. And.... I agree that they are generic, but coincidence that this one featured 6 digits and is assigned a turquoise hexcode? May mean nothing, but I don't think each of these poles ALWAYS feature 6 digits.

other general observations about the scene:
- the bathroom symbols took some time, intent and relative precision. Why anybody would spend enough time in there to place those is anybodys guess. And BoC or not, had interesting placement. More than your standard middle skool tagging. I wasn't stoned/smart enough to figure it out.
- railroad markers in the background had an "I love u" smeared on it... Also probably nothing... But coincidental enough, in the middle of nowhere.
- there was more than a little bit of turquoise spraypaint on the railroad tracks close by.
- super rad "punks not dead" spray painted in the bathroom
- some interesting/lamenting jr college message on the building: "artless fiction (and unatainable(sic) addiction)", "Cherish The Life Before your eyes", etc.... So there's that.
- totally subjective, but the whole place had a "doctored vibe" for being in the middle of nowhere.

Long story short, don't think we stumbled on anything out there, but I also don't think that the location is used in the video clips coincidentally. It's either completely unrelated, or we didn't look hard enough. And at the end of the day, the watmm/twoism/boc pages cronies don't have any more evidence about anything than this trip yielded. I think it would be funny as hell if they didn't actually release anything after all this.

Considering the level of photoshop skill used in these pictures, they didnt have much time on their hands

My theory is that these pics were taken when they shot the film, then fixed later. Just seems like way too much effort and planning for anyone trolling...

a lot of us can but this image has not been tampered with. if i were to photoshop that onto the tile here i'd choose the clean area there, why? 2 reasons. 1. its easier but 2. placing it under the spraypaint would make it look like it was there a long time, and that is not what the hoaxer would want now would it?

don't matter, its just an odd coincidence a diagram like that appears here, its could be going too much into it but its not photoshopped on, its there.

And there ya have it. We're no closer. Waiting for the next solid clue/transmission is all we should do.

1. It is easy to do both. Its not the spray paint they've got wrong, its the angeling, skewing and bluring to make it blend in they've got wrong. Trust me, I recognize all the tricks
2. I would think the intention was to make it look old...?

Also look at the other straight up photo of the symbol and tiles, come on, you have to agree that is photo shop? Why would you have one real and one fake?

Ed209 has confirmed it, so you're wrong. The diagrams are on the wall not in your head.

http://i.imgur.com/f20vc07h.jpg

take that image into photoshop and draw me all the pointers over it to prove to me your claims on the angeling and upload it back here. i don't see anything doctored with this image. i'm not claiming to be 'the' expert, its only photoshop. clone away.

No problem if Ed209 give me the original picture without the symbol, Ill do it! There is a lot of effort put into this whole adventure, thats for sure

I agree it's cool and coincidental and all that, but from the wiki on utility poles:

In the United States, utility poles are marked with information concerning the manufacturer, pole height, ANSI strength class, wood species, original preservative, and year manufactured[13] (vintage) in accordance with ANSI standard O5.1.2008.[14] ...Below the date is a 2-character wood species abbreviation and 1 to 3 character preservative. Some wood species may be: "SP" for southern pine, "WC" for western cedar, and "DF" for Douglas fir; common preservative abbreviations are "C" for creosote, "P" for pentachlorophenol, and "SK" for chromated copper arsenate (originally referred to Salts type K). The next line of the brand is usually the pole's ANSI Class, used to determine maximum load; this number ranges from 10 to H6 with a smaller number meaning higher strength. The pole's height (from butt to top) in 5 foot increments is usually to the right of the class separated by a hyphen, although it is not uncommon for older brands to have the height on a separate line. The pole brand is sometimes an aluminum tag nailed in place.

Before the practice of branding, many utilities would set a 2- to 4-digit date nail into the pole upon installation. The use of date nails went out of favor during WWII due to war shortages, but is still used by a few utilities. These nails are considered valuable to collectors, with older dates being more valuable, and unique markings such as the utilities' name also increasing the value. However, regardless of the value to collectors, all attachments on a utility pole are the property of the utility company, and unauthorized removal is a felony.

A practice in some areas is to place poles on coordinates upon a grid. The pole at right is located in a rural area of the state of Maryland in the United States. The lower two tags are the "X" and "Y" coordinates along said grid. Just as in a coordinate plane used in geometry, X increases as one travels east and Y increases as one travels north.
...
In some areas, utility pole name plates may provide valuable coordinate information; a poor man's GPS.[15][16][17]
