The Hanso Foundation as mentioned in the film has a website: http://www.hansofoundation.com/and this particularly bizarre page appears to be related: http://www.bigspaceship1.com/(the morse in the title reads "To the land of the lost")

Wow, that guy's blog is annoying as hell to read. I wish I could hit HIM with the butt end of a rifle.
thehandofoundation.org site is ABC's, "hansofoundation.org" and "hansofoundation.com" belong to some fan group and contain links to merch and message board. The interesting thing about the non-official site is that its whois record contains information dating back to June of this year. Someone knew about "Hanso" well before us light-weight fans.

There are several pieces of evidence that point towards at least something other than just a psychological experiment.
Ok, you're right- I oversated a bit. I firmly believe they are not "saving the word", but I'll conceed there might be repercussions for not pushing the button. I'm guessing that these repercussions are probably not so drastic that a little distance wouldn't help.
What interests me is what extrapolations the characters have made from a video that gives very little information. They talk of global catastrophy, when the answer might be as simple as the magnetic field might fail in a support role of another, long gone experiment. The possibilities are endless, and yet the characters assume the worst.

OK, just ran across this one- apparently if you play what Walt says to Shannon backwards, this is what you get:
Push the button. No button's bad.

Sounds to me like he's saying "Press the button. No button's bad."

Ha! Your are SO right. I interpreted it the way I was told, but after listening again you are spot on. I'm going to edit my post . . .

Damn dream sequences, making us freak out and speculate for a week. That was really cheap to put that in the teaser at the end of last week's episode.

Ok, so is this a cooincidence? I think it has to be- the second most likely explanation being that writers of the show just picked a real life satellite at random and incorporated elements of it into the plot. I really can't figure out how a swan watching satellite figures in, though, so my money's on cooincidence. Still kind of funny. I guess with enough people out there searching the web any remote connection to the show can be found.

I read the site. They're tracking swans. And this has something to do with Lost why? You'd be stretching really far just because they used the name 'Swan' for the island installation.
I mean, they could have called the site "Shake" and I wouldn't have thought it was some Aqua Teen hunger Force conspiracy. Now if it had been called "Meatwad" that would be another matter entirely.
I'm still not convinced that backward recording is real. I have the episode on my PVR, but I don't have the patience to extract the audio and reverse it to verify. Has anyone (credible) verified this already? If true, I think the producers have gone off the deep end. The watermark/tatoo on the Shark was obscure enough.

Well, the other thing being that the satellite circles the globe every 108 minutes. You can see how people might link THAT aspect to the show. I've even read theories that the computer is communicating with the satellite and that's why they have to push the button (which doesn't hold up if you think about it too long). More than anything, I think it's amazing how much stuff people are coming up with surrounding this show, some intentional and some way out there.

It's on a TON of sites, most arguing over which intepretation is correct. Really, though, it gives nothing away. I think they're just playing around with us.
I have no reason to doubt the audio clip is real- backwards masking is something people love to do just to have fun with viewers. Makes me think of the last level of Doom II.

Just to add another link... The TV IV has some great info about Lost as well. Specifically the episode summary pages.

The broken leg one is one of Michaels sketches given to his Ex for Walt (while he was in the Hospital). I don't remember seeing the NY one before.
