I was digging around the ABC website tonight after the season finale, rumaging through the forums. I found a link to The Lost Experience Blogspot<\/a> and started reading. In there was a clue posted on the Hanso site (which I can’t read with Firefox for some reason – Arggghhh). There is a great deal of discussion on this picture<\/a> and a clue about how we should “read” it and “decode” it.<\/p>\n

Being the intrepid boy reporter I am, I downloaded the image and ran in through the GIMP. I found that when the image is decomposed into HSV you get this interesting picture:<\/p>\n

\"Hole2<\/p>\n

There is obviously some unusual data on the edges of the photograph of Marvin (actually I don’t remember the scientist’s name). I don’t have the steganography plugin for the GIMP compiled or I’d try to pull the data out that way.<\/p>\n

But this unusual data isn’t the only thing that was funny about this picture. I might be seeing too much here, but if I combine the Saturation channel with the Hue channel it looks like there might be some lettering on the wall behind this guy.<\/p>\n

\"Hue<\/p>\n

So maybe this is just more of the stenganographic information. Or maybe the letters by the guys ear are “JA”, as in Jack?<\/p>\n

Let the conspiracy theories run wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
