Still damn cool looking though.

Much better than the kind we use…

That sounds more likely than anything!

Maybe it’s just something that teh AP uses as filler for an image that is yet to be included? I work for a printing company, and the first thing this brought to mind was the color and grey scale bars we use when proofing.

Maybe it’s a test for checking the color/brightness/contrast levels of a pre-press display, or for testing the accuracy of an ICC profile across different monitor/printer/press color spaces?

Not nearly as fun, I know, but at least it’s a context to work with.

None of these are any closer to providing a narrative context to put this into…

I checked on google image ripper and the first five results are all AP stashes, and all tests.

We need people outside of the US to do creative searches around this keyword/image cluster as an experiment to see if they can find sources we cannot.

Terrible mispelling of “Disaster”?

Also of note:
diastar.com
diastar.org
and diastar.net

All leading to (mostly) empty web directories with the same/similar structure.

STAR — the SPACETIME THREAT ASSESSMENT REPORT — is designed to fill the need for advanced planning for ever possible contingency — by enhancing conventional open-source intelligence with intelligence provided by AMP sources.

AMP — Anomalous Mental Phenomena — is the exceptional ability of the human mind to foresee exceptional circumstances. AMP-sources enhance the selection of danger points from the set of all possible events.

“Diastar test” search led to that site and this bizarre image of what seems to be remote viewing testing relating to the foreseeing of 9/11:

You know, I sympathize with those who want to banish The Mysteries from Teh Internets, but I just cured my lover’s laptop by invoking Ganeshe. This is after months of tinkering, two days of seriously trying to cure it, and dozens of software programs and detailed tutorials. Ganeshe + Restart = Cure. I’m trying to be rational, and I’m still a skeptic to the core, but the Universe makes it hard.

It sure does. He’s got paintings in Baltimore right now. I should go down and consult the oracle.

Looks remarkably like a Laffoley panel.
