For what it's worth, the alien on the shirt and the lens pics looks like the Greys to me.

I think I just figured out what the 6 Rocket Poppeteers represent on the newspaper page stand for.
There are five pointing upwards, ready to launch, or flying around out there. Within that same space in the advertisement, it mentions that there are Six of them.
There is a sixth Rocket Poppeteer on the page. This one is laying sideways, as if landed, or more appropriately, crashed. Another interesting tidbit is that this crashed Rocket Poppeteer is pointing at, or heading into the maze. At the exit is a planet. In a maze, you are searching for a path, or means to your goal. Once the first page is inverted to decode the second, that crashed Rocket Poppeteer is angling upwards, as if ready for launch. The planet is now far overhead.
So we have one of six ships that crashed, and whatever crashed is looking for a way or a means to get back home.
Reminds me a bit of E.T.
Wait a minute, In E.T. there is a child helping the alien to try and get home. Partly the alien working through the child, but hardly with malicious intent in that movie.
In the Rocket Poppeteer logo, the child is holding a Rocket Poppeteer towards some celestial body. A child with what looks like a Grey alien hidden in the back of his shirt. The adult does not have one. And for as much as Captain “Coop” Cooper loves them, he doesn’t have one either.
While I’m at it, the advertisement mentions that Coop loves Rocket Poppeteers. His suit also looks odd. Sure, the vertical and horizontal lines make sense, but the double diagonal lines don’t seem to make as much sense. They aren’t symmetrical.
So I got to thinking, what if they’re a map? A series of intersections of roads, and the double diagonal line is a set of railroad tracks. This makes me think that whatever location that map describes, the relative location of the nozzle is of importance.
Another thing to add about Coop, his helmet. The more I look at the reflection in it, the more it looks like the scene reflected in the Super 8 camera lens. This might just be my eyes playing tricks on me, but if that’s true, then what we’re seeing in the middle of the Super 8 lens is of importance.
So given all of that, I’m throwing another theory out there. My mechanical creature theory earlier doesn’t look as appealing. And with the additional Grey references, it may actually be the outlines of Greys that we’re seeing in the flashes of the trailer.
My theory starts with what’s going on in the trailer. A group of people, one being an astronaut or a potential astronaut, and a few kids, are contacted indirectly by five alien beings (and it is unknown that they are aliens). These aliens are trying to rescue their sixth member, which is now in an unsecured train car being transported. The astronaut, possibly the only one who really knows whats going on, drives his truck into the train to derail it, resulting in his death. One of the group of kids, after seeing the train wreck, picks up a somewhat intact Super 8 camera to film the wreckage while the others help to rescue whoever it is they’re supposed to. What those kids see and what that camera captures is the scariest thing they ever saw: the alien creature escaping the train wreckage.
Next we fast forward a few decades to when the actual movie happens. The kids have all gone underground, being hunted by the government for the film they may not even have anymore. Or it could even be the aliens hunting the now adult kids, wanting their existence to be shrouded in secrecy.
Knowing JJ and Steve, the aliens will be seen very little in the actual movie, and yet influence events directly or indirectly. Cloverfield had the whole movie taking place during a giant monster attack, though only showed the monster a few times. Lost managed to hook people with thousands of mysteries and questions, giving few answers until further on. Both Jaws and Close Encounters took the same approach, with Bruce barely being seen (yet causing so much tension), and the alien ships and aliens themselves being only fully revealed at the end.
Slightly unrelated, but it almost looks like there is a ray shooting out of the adult’s finger at the moon in the Rocket Popetteers logo. Strange. Plus, it almost looks like the glow surrounding the moon edge is actually something behind the moon
what do you guys think? |
I like it! Very well thought out.
But if these aren't Aliens then I'll..............Well I don't know as of yet what I will do but they sure as heck look like Aliens to me.

I was just basing it off JJ's previous methods. For Cloverfield, we got the trailer during Transformers and Jason's Slusho tshirt led us to Slusho site and the trailer date led to the promo site all in mid July.
But with Slusho site, there were a couple of odd "typos" but the site didn't do anything and all of it wasn't accessible for a month, then someone noticed "they" had corrected the typos and a couple spots became active. This was about the late middle of August. Then the 1-18 site updated with another photo....so given that, I just figured the similarities for this game were too familiar and if they're using the same general template, it should be mid to late June before anything really kicks up.
I still think there's another way in that we're missing. Just what we got leading to two sites - one of them gave us the 2nd inactive site - we're basically stonewalled. Would they take that risk of player disinterest if that's all they 'intended' to do for months?
I do not believe, given both of their methods that there is just one eruption hitting a wall indefinitely. I think there is a more subtle way in to some other area of this game...another door, another angle, another egg somewhere that we've not discovered. In Cloverfield, we got Slusho and 1-18, but then we *also* got the myspace pages on the characters, the secret Jamie/Teddy site and videos, and then Tagruato and that story.
Just think there's more out there still...
ETA: http://cloverfield.wikia.com/wiki/Viral gives a little refresher on the MO and what they did there. I think they'd handle their 'mistakes' better this round... ;-p |
i didnt play cloverfield nor liked the film so the refreasher ill def check out to see if it helps me but i dont think intrest would be lost if it to a month or more and ive seen it happen in other args but i have no prob believeing there maybe something we are missing or havent got to or found yet but im still sticking with the mail in coupon was the key but eevkeep looking and throwing ideas and hopefully we will find something but i dont mind waiting either as long as its worth it

I can't believe he would forget the players' ability to root out the most obscure clues and root out more eggs in record time...and I also don't feel he -they would put out something that's not really ready...it'd be too easy to lose control that way. So what IS out is supposed to be out...just think there's something else too.

Jumping in with a thought: I'd think June/July is a good window for the RP site (or others) to launch at least in-part, since that starts a year-long window of online promotion.
JJ and Paramount did the same thing with the TREK trailer/site, with the custom-produced teaser hitting screens in January of that 2008 for a December theatrical release. Later TREK got pushed back to summer of '09 which had the publicity running long and probably interrupted the flow for a while to accommodate the stretch. But originally it was on a one-year publicity schedule. I don't expect either party to change the pattern for SUPER 8, especially with an intricate ARG involved.
JJ wants to give us time to party!  |
well hopefully then itll b soon

I like the SS theory too, actually. Thanks for sharing that. I really appreciated him/her pointing out that very helpful reminder about that JJ and Steven M.O. - hardly showing the monsters/creatures/things at all and using the idea of it to build suspense.
The maze angle does make sense in light of the trailer - regardless of the details, the US Military is in possession of something organic in nature that it probably has no rights to, and it gets set loose. The only reason anyone would be underground would be they're bound to be a witness to something related to that event. At least Spielberg keeps consistent with having kids in the mix, kids who discover something and kids who attempt to do the right thing....so the maze and the subtle imagery makes a lot of sense in that it could be clues to what the story is....
I don't mean to "cheat" here but to me it's helpful strategy to really consider their M.O.s, things they like, to get an idea where they're shooting from...which could help us get objective and find a more probable path to be looking when we're lost.
Never played the AI one, but I'm familiar with Abrams enough to remember from Cloverfield that this same set up took place then too - finding the two sites right off the bat, one of which wasn't updated in forever...and the subtle, gradual additions to 1-18-08. That would be our Scariest site, and Slusho = rocketpops (I can never remember what those are called), even down to the *6* connection. So hopefully by mid June this will kick in ;-p
I never thought to check before I read and began to reply, just now coming up, but has anyone perhaps looked to see if any of the markings could be Morse code? |
np glad i shared and people read y do u think mid-june? i think morse code was brought up but dont think anyone figured out so far either way

Heyyy, now that you mention it... the light comes from the left. I read from the left... to right too!! It's all connected now, I see it!!
Okay, just having a laugh, carry on.

regarding the rocket pops pic, if you look, whatever the light is that's shining on the moon is coming from the far left as it is shining on coop and the boy too. something off the pic we can't see and they are pointing it in that direction, maybe..
anyway, in the HD trailer, mostly when the names come up, the light is always shining from the left also...
