Upon further tinkering with the fuzz.flv image, several other images were found. Two of which occured on the black bar banner occurring at the beginning and end of the short video file. They both appeared to have lettering and/or a phrase written through the middle of the bar. Also a blue clip of the file showcased a darker human like figure, also could be interpreted as 'The Presence'. '''Mr. Brightside'''[[User:Disorganized|Disorganized]] also found that, upon decompiling the flash file, the words "Mr. Brightside" appeared in the track listing.
