Joe Philley

This image was found in Joe's G+ page. He is listed as a Niantic Labs employee, and has posted multiple times about the arg on his Facebook page and G+ page. It's a picture of another Soviet Era Yugoslavian monument, similar to the Monument to the Revolution of the People of Moslavina.

Circle

Although already covered in the images section, there may be something else to this. Re-coordinating (polar-to-cartesian) gives us:

There are several ways to look at this:

1 - current analysis has 17 sets of 60 ternary bits, based on the concentric circles, clockwise

2 - current analysis has 17 sets but there is a weird half-size circle in there that gives us 18 sets

3 - it may be 60 sets of 18 ternary bits, whose order (in-wise or out-wise) is not clear.

18-bit ternary data, clockwise, significant bit is outer ring

The circle is displayed also on Ingress Intel Map bottom right corner, as kind of a clock while loading data.
