I'm sure its already been discussed to death, so a simple yes/no would be good. Is this real and official or not? If it isn't, it sure is an elaborate hoax.

Well, dharmatel.org (thread on dharmatel.org in Spoiler Theories (http://www.thefuselage.com/Threaded/showthread.php?t=41701)) is fanmade, so I'd say it's safe to assume this video is as well...

Whatever it is, it's REALLY long, and not very captivating.

No video that was *actually* part of the ARG would say it's a part of the ARG. That would just ruin the experience. This does, so it's fake.

Whoever posted this on Youtube just ripped it from another Youtube post here:

The original posting of the film is a little longer (at the beginning) and has been online for a couple of months now. The poster, "Hoffittfilms", never says that it's part of the LOST ARG.

Also, there is someone who has a Flickr page with images from both the "Hanso Industries" film and the Orientation/Psychology film ( http://www.thehansofoundation.org/orientation_testing_issue_1980 ) that appeared on THF.org two days ago (6-19):

The images from the Flickr page are too high quality to be copied from the Orientation/Psych film, so there is speculation to whether or not this legitimizes the "Hanso Industries" film.
