A "glitch" later in the video briefly shows the text "/0024", which quickly led fans to discover the page <u>yearzero.nin.com/0024</u>. According to the file name, the image on that page was found to be the cover for the ''Year Zero'' album.

[[User:Disorganized|Disorganized]] decompiled the flash file and found a file called fuzz.flv containing the various flickering images. So far, one image of a silhouetted figure standing has been found. It appears to look similar to the image of [[Trent Reznor]] on the ''[[Beside You In Time (halo)|Beside You In Time]]'' DVD cover. It is also present in the Temporary Internet Files Folder but resembles a zoomed-in appearance of 'The Presence' from the ''Year Zero'' trailer. Upon further tinkering with the fuzz.flv image, several other images were found. Two of which occurred 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.
