LOST Experience: Where’s Hanso?
One of the first things that you should notice that is very easy to miss at first is the missing words from Alvar Hanso’s bio.
Click on the underlined date to gain access to the hidden page.
Someone (Persephone) points out discrepencies about the picture that many have been questioning since the site went live on May 3rd.
Click on the circle, then you will be taken to a flash map of Europe.
The map will point out the last known locations that Alvar Hanso was seen. When the map stops, you can procede to the next location by clicking on the name tag. The cities Hanso visited are as follows:
The one thing that sticks out are the discrepency of the dates between Hanso’s trip between Rome (Roma) and Copenhagen. Hanso leaves Rome on Sept. 18, 2001, and made stop overs in Geneva, and Copenhagen before traveling off map, then returning to Copenhagen on Jan. 1, 2001(?). Assuming that this isn’t a typographical error, Alvar Hanso some how traveled back in time eight months.
After landing in Madrid, the last stop on the map, Persephone types in the following message:
When you are finished reading Persephone’s message, you can continue to the following messages by clicking on the Madrid tag on the map. The next set of messages are accompanied by audio of a woman’s voice asking:
“Who is running this place anyway?”
“Where is Alvar Hanso”
“Is he hiding?”
“Who is running this place anyway?”
Look really close, and you can see the faded picture of Alvar Hanso from the original page in the center of the screen.
The final portion of this hidden area consists of a black screen with a flashing green dot, and a morse code message on the audio. You can hear the morse code message here.
The morse code message translates into “SAFEG”.
… = S
._ = A
.._. = F
. = E
__. = g
To return to the “Board of Director’s page, simply click anywhere on the black screen.
UPDATE:
From thelostexperience.com:
Okay. The morse code on the latest clue was interesting indeed! A lot of people decoded this as “SAFER”. I captured the morse in cool edit, isolated the background noise, and was left with this:
Audio of the Morse code message.You can easily visualize the length of each tone. It comes out: … .- ..-. . / –.
Doesn’t make sense right? SAFER makes much more sense. So I wanted to compare. I encoded “SAFER” with the same translator, played it into Cool Edit and did that same processing to compare them visually and in audio, When you listen to Hanso’s morse, there is clearly a pause and two long and one short at the end of the phrase. Here is the SCPhillips version:
Audio of the generated Morse code message.Again it is easy to visually come up with the morse:
… .- ..-. . .-.There is no pause, and the end tones, which would be R, are clearly short long short, where the hanso morse is clearly long long short with a preceeding pause.
Conclusion? SAFER makes more sense, the evidence says SAFE G.
