Episode 101 - Morse Code?

Here is a video clip of the flashing street light from the U-Case storage facility, which some people thing may be flashing in Morse code. WDYT?

I spent a while last week playing around with the audio, which I felt was more feasible as morse, since the flicker noise is fairly confined to two length, as per morse code. There is a specific frequency that the flickering occurs at (two, actually, that I could find), but it's so weak it's hard to isolate without interference.

It may be a red herring. But I posted about it at unfiction, and have the two audio parts to the morse code downloadable here and here.

May be nothing. But it seems too well-placed... *shrug*

Thanks guys for posting this...Could there be a formula here? Will check out later.Thanks Bruce.

i thought this was morse code when i seen this scene. im hoping they do little easter eggs like this in all episodes like lost

Well if its morse code, what did it say?

It's probably some meaningless comment that doesn't mean much like.. What do you think? or something like that..

It is a repeating pattern. Watch the clip again. First time it completes, second time it repeats, third time the camera pans away half-way through.

My morse code is rusty. Never had to decipher optical morse, only sound. I will search the Net for help with it.

In morse it's gibberish. It looks like a Fibonacci Short-Long Pattern to me.

1 mora: S (1 pattern)
2 morae: SS; L (2)
3 morae: SSS, SL; LS (3)
4 morae: SSSS, SSL, SLS; LSS, LL (5)

It stops at the number five and repeats, which someone has pointed out before, 5 has been left out of previous fibonacci sequences in other appearnces in the show.

If 1 2 3 5 is significant, the obvious pattern would continue 8 13 21 34 and so on.

1 + 2 = 3
2 + 3 = 5
3 + 5 = 8
5 + 8 = 13
8 + 13 = 21

This doesn't mean it's the only pattern possible, just the easiest to get to from the numbers 1 2 3 5

The number one isnt a true prime number, like the number 0,

I think its going to be something as simple as they wanted to make the light flicker and so someone decided to make it flicker to that pattern, which looks random to most people that arnt trying to read into the meaning of little detail. Some people call that paranoia

1 is part of the Fibonacci sequence.
