Story on Digg.com that may have a connection to the ARG [Links inside]...
[b]Notice:[/b] I realize that there is some negativity that tends to crop up around threads like this one. I'm not trying to jump to conclusions, but realize that I've been seeing these images floating around the Internet for the last few weeks more commonly than I probably should, and I've become curious. I hope that if we contain our input and questions to this thread, we can have some fun with this without being interrupted or shot down so quickly. This viral campaign is a very asymmetrical one, and I wouldn't count anything out so hastily.
Thanks.

[b]Update [6/27/07]:[/b]
[url=http://digg.com/space/Strange_Craft_Sightings]Another story[/url] has made it to the Digg.com homepage linking to a webpage with some new images. You can visit the page [url=http://isaaccaret.fortunecity.com/]here[/url].
Here are some images I grabbed. There are more on the webpage:
[url=http://isaaccaret.fortunecity.com/pacl-q385-inventory-review-halfsize.jpg]This image[/url] looks like it almost depicts halos, doesn't it?
[url=http://isaaccaret.fortunecity.com/pacl-q486-report-p5-halfsize.jpg]This one[/url] shows some strange spined object, whatever it is.
[url=http://isaaccaret.fortunecity.com/pacl-lang-analysis-p122-halfsize.jpg]This[/url] is just one of many documents showing strange illustrations on them.

[b]Update [6/13/07]:[/b]
I don't know if this has already been stated, but after looking at the pixellated image from 27.com, it just hit me that I remember seeing this about a week or so ago. It was from a story that I saw and commented on that was on the Digg.com homepage!
Here's the link to the page with the image. Scroll down a ways, and you'll see it on the wing of the aircraft: [url=http://www.ufocasebook.com/unmannedprobeanalysis.html]http://www.ufocasebook.com/unmannedprobeanalysis.html[/url]
Here's a direct link to the image: [url=http://www.ufocasebook.com/2007/pa5.jpg]http://www.ufocasebook.com/2007/pa5.jpg[/url]
For those who are just seeing this, the image in question can be viewed by visiting the [url=http://27.com]27.com homepage[/url], then right-clicking the page > View Background Image.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dr Avinger Three possibilities here: 1. This is an actual dude that really believes what he posted. Highly improbable, but possible nonetheless. 2. This is part of an ARG, but not IRIS. If so, it does seem interesting in its own right (though I personally wouldn't put in the time to follow up). 3. This is part of IRIS, and is freaking awesome. Things like this are infinitely more interesting to be than going to the Halo.com and clicking "servers" to get text files and pictures. IF possibility 3 is the truth, I commend Bungie on much awesomenesss and somewhat separating itself from the obvious stuff on Halo3.com (which will still continue, out of necessity). In essence, if this is part of IRIS "hardcore" ARG players can pursue it and the conventional people could still get some benefit from the Halo3.com servers. However, the people that followed the less obvious things like this would get even more personal satisfaction or alittle more backstory. Assuming this COULD be real, what "Isaac" would be describing is a very very early version of ONI. It would also indicate that we knew alot even "way back" in the 20th century (versus 2552). Could 500 years be enough time for humans to use this technology to construct Halos themselves? The Flood, a bio-weapon gone bad? Just throwing out wild ideas, but like I said, it's more fun than clicking all over a rotating Flash animation.[/quote] I agree. Its a very roundabout assumption to make, that this thing is instantly connected with the IRIS campaign, but I can't stand when people just shoot others' ideas down.. The fun behind these ARGs is to examine all the loose clues and not rule anything out. It could be Microsoft's doing, or it might not be, but the bottom line is we haven't heard a word from them, and until then I think we should keep picking up the breadcrumbs.. Interesting ideas you have, I like them! And I do think these things are much more fun and engaging than some Flash file..
