I don't think so. The technique isn't new.

Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness, through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses. It can be word-of-mouth delivered or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet.

Undercover marketing (also known as buzz marketing, stealth marketing, or by its detractors roach baiting) is a subset of guerrilla marketing where consumers do not realize they are being marketed to.

When targeting consumers known to be consistent Internet users, undercover marketers have taken a significant interest in leveraging Internet chat rooms and forums. In these settings, people tend to perceive everyone as peers, the semi-anonymity reduces the risk of being found out, and one marketer can personally influence a large number of people.

The viral marketing idea makes no since to me as an explanation because there is nothing about it that looks remotely associated with Transformers, and its only some pictures on the internet. It isn't like this thing is in TV commercials or making cameos in movie previews.
Something that it kinda reminds me of are crop circles. When crop circles first started appearing they were simple designs but got more complicated and complex over time. I believe someone should try contacting the guy who says he took these latest photos and see if he will join ATS and tell us about it.

If it is a marketing effort, isn't it limiting it's exposure? Sure, some people on the internet will know about it, but what about the millions of movie goers whose don't get that involved on the internet forums? It is not in other internet advertising sites, banner ads, etc. The sightings are in remote places so lots of people are not seeing it.

Remember the light/figure gizmos found under bridges and other places that caused the big terror/bomb stink awhile back. Maybe flying around wouldn't be classed that same way but would it been seen in a similar light?


I completely agree with these two, I don't think its a viral campaign. That just would not make any since.

Let's Add to the Story...

Let's assume, however farfetched you might think it is, that these are legitimate, honest to goodness photos. If you do that, then you may be closer to disproving them than you would be by saying what the photos are not, by claiming them to be false without proof.

In otherwords, add to the story, see if it holds water rather than try to blow it out of the water.

First, let me give a theory: if this is a craft of unknown origins a) how does it fly? Magnetic? Ion propulsion? Second, why would it come back to the same place repeatedly? Is there something there that it needs? Does the wooded area and vegetation recharge it somehow? Does the craft need some sort of life force to keep operating?

As for the writing, has it ever occurred to anyone on here that as people here on earth, we're being monitored? And if we are, then it might be of interest for another group of entities to send a craft that has a serial number or some sort of identifying marker on it? For them? As for the similarities in language, remember that our language is born out of our ability (or lack thereof) to communicate with each other. Why would symbols have to be so horribly foreign or science fiction looking to look right on a space craft? Why couldn't a race of people or beings have developed in similar ways to us with symbology and language that eventually resembles our own?

I have read a lot of posts on these pictures, and yes, they look almost unbelievable. But when you are already at the unbelievable, sometimes the closest route to the truth is to believe...until you are proven wrong.

The Transformers movie are already at it with Viral Marketing with the following below

Myspace, Transformers The Movie & Bad Viral Marketing

Myspace is always trying to figure out a way to make a buck. Lately they have been selling sponsorships of the photo area of user profiles. The first company to take advantage of this sponsorship was the movie 300. They did a promotion that gave users 300 pictures for their portfolio sponsored by the movie 300. Not really viral marketing but not horrible. The new company taking that position is Transformers The Movie. The sponsorship banner says "Transformers The Movie, Transform your Photos"Here is a screenshot:



This is obviously supposed to be some sort of a viral marketing campaign where you transform your picturesand then send them around the internet and in the process promote the Transformers movie. Unfortunately for the life of me I couldnt even figure out how to transform my picture. The screen toldme to choose a side. I didnt know what it meant. I then clicked around and I left. This is a poorly constructedviral marketing campaign. Good viral marketing typically has 2 main things in common. Its simple to use and so catchy you want to send it to your friends. This campaign has neither of those 2 objectives. I don’t believe this is an effective campaign nor do I think it will suceed in what its trying to accomplish. My advice to the team working on this campaign is to hire the folks who worked on the Dance Sister Dance campaign.

Someone, whether it be the Movie Company or a VERY avid fan have decided to transform their own photos into this craft that is evolving with the run up to the release date of the movie. I reckon in the last few days prior to the release of the movie you will be looking at a photo of a robot with arms and legs etc. They can't "Evolve"the craft too quickly as it would simply give the game away if they added limbs to what we are seeing so far.

What I found strange about these pictures and the UFO by itself is
ofcourse the shape of the vessel. Most pictures, actually 99% which I have seen are or disc shaped, cigar shaped or spherical.

There's this video of a UFO over paris, which ofcourse is CGI,
but this is the only other UFO with an odd shape I know of (which comes close anyway)...




Could they be somehow related. The creator I mean, that is.
Both are very sharp well done video's/pictures and they both feature
a craft which extends vertically.

Does anyone have any more information about that video that might connect it to the recent pictures? or not?
