Hmm... Interesting.

This is something known as an Alternate Reality Game. These games tend to include interaction with a website(or a few) and real life. There was one a while ago called I Love Bees which looked like an ordinary website that had been very strangely corrupted and included hidden messages that lead people to wait at phone banks waiting for one of the phones to ring for a message.

It was put together as a build up to the release of Halo 2.

A little search on Ethan Haas and I came up with this website: http://www.ethanhaas.org Exploring a little, I found something that points to this promoting an upcoming film being put out by Bad Robot and J.J. Abrams(responsible for Alias and LOST). If you've seen Transformers, there's a trailer for this unnamed film that looks like a home video of a going away party interrupted by a giant monster attacking New York City in the distance(you don't see the monster, but you can see explosions and hear the noises it's making).

Bad Robot has done this before with LOST. If you really like to dive deep into stories, keep exploring and then you'll be a huge fan of this film that doesn't even have a name.

Also, google Ethan Haas for a walkthrough of Ethan Haas Was Right. I didn't go to the walkthrough, but it will give you the puzzle solutions.

If you were wondering, this has nothing to do with Gaia. It's something else entirely. Something complex like this would take more resources than Gaia has to offer and the mind of J.J. Abrams.


I Pmed Shiarka, thats what I was told.

Wow, this is really interesting. O_o kind of confusing at parts, but interesting none-the-less. So someone just randomly gave you the link then logged off? Wierd.
