Back in October, author/researcher Greg Bishop took my picture in The Triangle, a restaurant in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where I was delighted to see my serving of steamed mussels arrive in a flying saucer-ish package.

Intrigued by the possibility that I may have unknowingly made contact with extraterrestrials, I had the image analyzed by an independent laboratory. By extracting data from between the pixels, analysts were able to produce previously unnoted detail.

Here is the startling result:





Believe me, I'm as freaked out as you are.

  1. I KNEW it. Too bad they didn't analyze the picture for spiritual details in the golden halo around your head.

    Nice post on extracting data, simple and too the point :), For simple stuff i use python to get or simplify data, data extraction can be a time consuming process but for other projects that include the web, files, or documents i tried "extracting data" which worked great, they build quick custom screen scrapers, extracting data, and data parsing programs
