Here's the page created by "Isaac," who claims to have helped reverse-engineer the craft responsible for the drone-like devices currently hyped by Whitley Strieber and Linda Howe.

I have to admit: what initially looked like a Photoshop scam has just gotten, if not impressive, then at least interesting, if for no other reason than Isaac's scans from an alleged classified manual devoted to extraterrestrial technology.

I still think it's a hoax, but it's fun watching it develop, like encountering Bob Lazar for the first time. Whoever Isaac is, I imagine he's the kind of wily thinker disinformationists long to have on their payroll.

Isn't this just part of the Halo 3 ARG??

Could be. I'm not familiar with "Halo's" backstory, so I don't know how much of "Isaac's" story jibes with it.

This whole drone thing screams "viral marketing." But marketing what?

What is apparent is that if this is a hoax it's not a "basement fanboy" production. There are too many design maturities in here covering a few disciplines. Most certainly there is more than one person involved.

On the other hand, the more complicated our explanations become to account for it, the more likely it's the real deal.

I've looked into the Halo 3 angle but I can find no similar symbol or aesthetic design on any pictures of the alien race and or technology. For what it's worth I don't think that's what this is.

When I first saw the "Chad" photos I noted here that there are very subtle but sophisticated elements in those photos. Visual cues that most hoaxers would miss. That and I have seen no convincing CG replicas from vocal naysayers. They are universally easy to pick out as CG fakes precisely because they lack this degree of sophistication.

All in all, still a hoax.

Prove it.

No, the requirement is to prove it is not. You will find that impossible. I do not need to prove it is a hoax, as that is obvious to anyone with a modicum of intelligence. For example, none of the Isaac/CARET/PACL docs have a classification stamp. Isaac could be easily traced by national agencies. The absurdity of the entire scheme is transparent.

ANY SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED GEEKS ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM ALIENTECH....

I have to say, it IS one hell of a hoax. My money is on a bunch of CalTech students (known to love this sort of prank) since the sightings are all CA-based. I would go even further and suggest members of the Church of UNIX (a geniune religion, BTW -- just ask any UNIX programmer!) based on the "Isaac's" description in his "Technology" section of how this particular alientech works.

Computational-like symbols that execute themselves! Wow! I was seriously impressed by this description and have to say, I nearly bought into it until I recognized the elements of occultism that were present. (The particular way in which the alien symbols "execute themselves" is pure occultism, believe me.)

Always remember, Jack Parsons, a founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (originally belonging to CalTech now NASA) was an ardent disciple of arch-mage Aleister Crowley, so there is this strong techno-occult subculture in CA as well. Thus I'm guessing that this whole business with the "drones" is coming out of that culture somehow, somewhere.

That said, as hoaxes go, the whole thing really is W-A-A-Y cool!

Whitley Strieber and Linda Moulton Howe.

Hahahahahahaha... ;-)

As for the so-called sophistication of this obvious hoax, puh-lease. It makes MJ-12 look almost real by comparison.

Almost.

Google this: Drone ufo halo

Its just an add. The ufo community is advertising for Halo 3. I wonder if there will be any sort of backlash, seeing as a some folks were taking these things quite seriously?

Ok, so the originators of this tech know physics so strange that it's like magic to us. I might be able to accept. However, There is just no way this can be true:

"...their "language" is entirely context-sensitive, which means that a given symbol could mean as little as a 1-bit flag in one context, or, quite literally, contain the entire human genome or a galaxy star map in another..."

This is made up fantasy with fancy language and graphics, by some creative nerds.
