December 10, 2012: Is the "Deep Space Radio Wave Project" for "Man of Steel"?

DSRW Project A website for the "Deep Space Radio Wave Project" surfaced earlier today, and chatter across the internet had people speculating over if it was a piece of viral marketing related to "Man of Steel", due to the Warner Bros. copyright notice at the bottom of the page.

    Welcome to the home of the DSRW Project, a private non-profit research organization with a network of world-wide interstellar communication facilities that support the exploration of our solar system and the universe. We believe our research is essential to understanding the origin of life.

    Our mission is to capture deep space radio waves and analyze them for patterns and messages. We share our findings with the public and work together to answer the question, "Are we alone in the universe?" through collaboration, we will separate real communication from galactic white noise.

The page encouraged people to help decode each new interstellar signal as it was received. The goal was to mark off the correct spaces on each row to uncover a pattern of sounds. The decoding process happened simultaneously with a large set of users, meaning that the community worked at decoding these transmissions together. With all 10 signals decoded the project claimed that it was then receiving a looped signal consisting of 8 symbols. The 10 original signals equated to numbers 0-9. Therefore the 8 symbol looped signal being received equated to 77587619. Knowledgable fans worked out that this equated to a coordinate address of N77d58 W76d19 (which is N77.58 W76.19 in mapping terms), which according to Google Maps is the location of Baffin Bay which is between Baffin Island and the southwest coast of Greenland in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Additionally, a website was located at N77d58W76d19.com, with those same 10 mysterious alien numbers appearing to countdown in lots of 60. The numbers were counting down to zero, which was reached at 12 noon EST on Tuesday, December 11, 2012, revealing the official trailer for "Man of Steel".
