I received the message below from another group, I and a few others 
have investigated this, please note our findings, also if anyone 
knows of the program to decode the rest of the info, we would be 
grateful.



NORLOK Pictures

Here's part of an email that was sent to me.

Hmmmmm, NASA's got info about NORLOCK but they don't seem to be
making it clear for people to decifer it.  

I've been reading about this "Norlok" affair on Cyberspaceorbit and
Sherwood's group. I know people are trying to search out more
information, but nothing to make it seem in any way genuine as yet.

However, I did a Google search on it and the term I entered was:
"N+O+R+L+O+K"
exactly like that, inside the quote marks. The returns were
interesting in that there were about 8 and they all looked something
like this:
sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/sdb/soho/eit/daily_full_queue/200111/efr_195_2
0011128.191348
.. n o p k m j k l e k i l m k n h j p m o o o i p k k n u o o m l l
k p l f h m j l p p q s p t p p p l h l o k n p l o v m p x o o q q n
s m r p q u n o r l o k ...
101k - Cached
(with the last 6 letters showing up in bold type, i.e. n o r l o k).
When I clicked on any of them I was taken to an obvious NASA page,
but the content was all in what I call gobbledegook! In other words
lots of "computer type" signs, which I simply don't understand.


So we accessed the page, and noticed that it looked somewhat like a
program!
Passed it over to someone who I knew could help and this is what they
were able to  find!

The gobble-de-gook at the bottom is only a small sample of the rest
of which is there, which is believed could be telemetry data, but we
don't know what package/software is used to run it OR it could be
image data, but again it is not know where to start to extract it
from the original document.

This looks like a report from some satellite or something! (hidden in
plain view so to speak!)

We did wonder if there was something else on the page, as it took a 
long time to load up and did strange things to our PC's and after 
viewing it we found we had a virus, But we have now found the source 
of this infection and it is 'NOT' the website, still strange things 
happen when you view the page though..

As I wrote the other group, this appears to be visualization data
stored in a custom IDL format. IDL is a graphics programming
package heavily used by NASA, etc. The text at the beginning
sort of spells out the format of the following binary data, but
you may have a hard time decoding it unless you have know how
to use IDL. I downloaded an eval version of IDL, but you have to
execute procedural programs which load the data, and personally
I don't have the time to play with it. There are free IDL
packages too, mostly for use in programming. Look at
www.rsinc.com or http://www.researchsystems.com/idl/index.cfm for 
more info on IDL. (They appear to be down today, maybe another
part of the grand conspiracy game?)
