Code & Ack Ack!

Well I was going to write a post about History, start dates, maps and boundaries but I’ve just had an old source send me some data which I would like to share with you all.  And I received another code this time via snail mail, thought it was junk mail at first but the lacking of the postage stamp (not the actual stamp that was there), no the stamp that the mail office put on it to say that the postage has been paid was missing.  Why put a stamp on if you going to post it yourself?

I opened the envelope inside was a single piece of paper, one word on the page “under”.  Took me a while but I finally figured it out, a few minutes after boiling the kettle for much needed coffee I managed to get the stamp off cleanly.  Underneath was the following code, looks like playfair again:

E-m oo ys esz < kb ar Z

Hope this means something to someone.

Haven’t heard from this source in a while actually so I’m not sure about the quality of the data, the content is extreme to say the least.  Apparently a big electronics firm (no name given) is involved in a plan to extract a newly discovered element, to quote my source: “…it will come from space, they won’t be able to control it…”  What this element is my source didn’t say although the content of the email showed my source to be quite scared indeed.

Currently having visions of green bug-eyed aliens, although I have always preferred Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks version of the alien menace:

“Ack, Ack!”

Never understood why the American public didn't like it, maybe the sense of humor was too dry for their liking.

The source did say one other thing: the method for the extraction was recently deployed using the X-37B.  I saw that on the Register, the mission was completely classified.

  2. Mr. Foilhead, I was wondering if you knew anything about meteors or asteroids that have fallen to earth in the past 50 years or so. I ask because you seem pretty informed on a lot of different things, and I'm doing a project for school, so I figured I'd see if there was anything you knew.
