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] Kyle112 Okay guys, the Lyca.com was made a year ago, so Lyca.com may have had nothing to do with Halo or Halo 2, but now it may have something to do with Halo 3 now. And here is my [url=http://img242.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ninjasjr6.png]conversation with a ninja[/url]. As you can see the ninjas have no word on whether the 7499.com stuff is legit or not, so unless you are a ninja who has word, or a bungie admin, dont tell us what to post or not to post, because you are just spamming us with your speculation that you deem to be fact. Now lets continue our discussion without the heathen unbelievers shall we ;)[/quote] That's reasurring, I guess. Thanks for inquiring. [Edited on 06.13.2007 11:15 PM PDT]

Right now all I think we can do is wait for the next batch of emails.

Okay guys, the "Lyca.com is not related to Halo" thread was made a year ago, so Lyca.com may have had nothing to do with Halo or Halo 2, but now it may have something to do with Halo 3 now. And here is my [url=http://img242.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ninjasjr6.png]conversation with a ninja[/url].

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] monkey29 Well I took a look at hello kittie and its not hello kitte. There is enough of a difference to not break copywrite laws. Just go to your local China towns and look for toys like Spaderman. Looked just like Spiderman. Other than the spelling of the name there was just one little visuale difference. The eyes were shapped and sized different. The kittie picture on 27.com's site has a yellow nose and strawberries on the ears. Any little girl will tell you that Hello Kittie's nose is black and its either a bowtie like burrette or a flower over its ear. "Continue the serch."[/quote] I think it's still the same thing. I did a google image search for Hello Kitty and found the same image used on the 27.com page. It was found [url=http://targetculture.com/2006/11/]here[/url]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] FireDragons [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] tWixBARs Everyone in the Halo 3 forum is pissing me off. I keep telling them that Lyca.com ; 7499.com ; 27.org/.com HAVE nothing to do with Halo 3 or Bungie for that matter. But noone listens. It's frustrating. I even copy and pasted the sticky at the top of our forum into a thread and they refuse. This is what causes the downfall of the viral marketing. people thinking they are right and they are too stubborn to accept it when they are told they are wrong.[/quote] Think for a moment about this. 1) The thread you linked to as 'proof' was a sticky written by the creator of a private group in a private forum. It carries no official weight with it. 2) Ever consider the fact that the quoted post was made over a year ago. Lyca and the like may have had nothing to do with Halo or Halo 2, but nothing shown has said it has nothing to do with Halo 3. There is a very real possibility that this is a wild goose chase, but if it isn't then all will benefit from this exchange of ideas. As for yourself, stop trying to be a hero by saving our souls from the oblivion that is the wild goose chase. Just read other threads and ignore these ones if you despise these threads it's that simple.[/quote] You summarized it perfectly. This is just an exchange of ideas.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AAAAHHHH GRENADE The way I see it, there are two possibilities; [b]Number 1[/b]- Since it was oficially said that Lyca.com has absolutely nothing to do with Halo, the whole dot game therefore has nothing to do with Halo and therefore neither does 27.com and/or 27.org. [b]Number 2 [/b]- The dot game and 27.com/.org do have something to do with the Halo 3 viral campaign and Adjutant Reflex, in which case we must search harder. I hope it's Number 2, because then this whole afternoon wouldn't have been a waste of time. If it's Number 1, then that simply means we've been going in the wrong direction and should focus harder on what Adjutant Reflex had been confirmed as saying (bungie.net and halo.bungie.org posts) and try to glean clues from those. Since these posts about 27.com/org have not been locked, we can assume one of the following: [b]a)[/b] There are no forum moderators online right now who know about the viral campaign or work for Bungie, so those who are online don't know if they should lock these threads or not [b]b)[/b] These threads actually are Halo-related and so aren't being locked [b]c)[/b] Bungie wants to see how far we will go until we realise we're going down the totally wrong road [b]d)[/b] Because of the amount of smap and people posting in these threads, the ninjas have decided to simply let us roll instead of locking basically every single thread in the forum and telling us all off like naughty children. and that's my two cents[/quote] I applaud you. You've basically took my opinions and put them into word form. Anyway, I'm assuming that we're in scenario number one with an A, C, or D reason as to why these threads aren't being locked. I don't think there's a connection but I'm having one helluva time watching this whole thing progress.

They won't stop. I agree that there's no connection but I'm not trying to get them to stop. Let them have their fun. They'll find out in the end that they were wrong. Actually, who knows? Maybe they're right. My point is, join them or get out. There's no point in arguing against them because this thread is going so strong that it can only be stopped by Ninjas. [/quote] Thanks. I'm not trying to be divisive or piss you off, but you're sure coming off like I am, tWixBARs. I don't know why it should even be any skin off your back. Am I right? Maybe not. Will I be dead wrong when all is said and done? Hell, who knows? This is the stuff of ARGs, man. We're just having fun and digging some holes, but you act like we're doing it in your front yard. Just give it a rest.

Why would anyone get that worked up over us trying to solve this ARG. Halo related or not, if Bungie has decided to let it go, then you should too. And stop with the linking to old posts by former employees, if people want to think Bungie has struck a deal with that Matt guy this time around then let them. Hopefully we'll learn more in the next update.
