atyic.png cleaned up: niantic_barcode1.png contains: http://nianticproject.com

At the location of this QR code ( 35.096052,-117.940291 ), there is a DIFFERENT QR code on Google Maps:

oxdty.png cleaned up: niantic_barcode2.png too much missing.
Assuming that this QR code also contains a http://goo.gl/ adress, this QR-code can be constructed: qr_filled.jpg
This resolves to http://goo.gl/BF5jL, which redirects to http://www.nianticproject.com/2rH, which redirects to http://www.nianticproject.com/?id=niantic16a, which is the What is the Niantic Project video.

Extra Note in November 2014 a photo shared by Flint Dille hinted that in it they were physically placing a giant QR code there qr_code_placement.jpg


Niantic Project. Afram . Drone

A QR code can be seen in the video Niantic Project. Afram . Drone at coordinates (30.302275, -104.02079) (Marfa, TX, which is Afram backwards) but unlike the map one you can read this one

When read this QR code gives you this number:

7353028343028343027353029343022313130263730243830283430263031331303620343820383420373620313132203439203537203438203438203537

Solution

This is palindromic
73530283430283430273530293430223131302637302438302834302630313 31303620343820383420373620313132203439203537203438203438203537

Splitting it in half, and using the latter half, a lot of repeated occurences of "20" are noticed... So split the latter half into pairs:
31 30 36 20 34 38 20 38 34 20 37 36 20 31 31 32 20 34 39 20 35 37 20 34 38 20 34 38 20 35 37
Convert from Hex to ASCII Gives: 106 48 84 76 112 49 57 48 48 57
Convert again from Decimal to ASCII gives: j0TLp19009
Reverse it, since it was mirrored originally: 90091pLT0j
Visually, this looks like: http://goo.gl/pLT0j

This is the first kureze audio file
