PA_1126 [30 points]
The first space invader I flashed in Paris with Invader's online game FlashInvaders. A game to spot and "flash" the street mosaics of Invader with a smartphone. You fill gallery, score points and compete with other players. In total there are over 2,500 players around the world who spotted already over 71,000 space invaders and scored over 2.4 million points (data of 03/02/2015). I scored 30 points with this one and 100 bonus points because this was the first one in a new 'city'. For the last 10 years I spotted more than 790 Parisien space invaders without flashing them. Some revisits will have to be done the coming weeks, months, years.
This one is located in the 8ème arrondissment.

A re-activated 2-D space invader right accross Centre Pompidou. At the time I fount this one for the first time I estimated the year of invasion 2004 or 2005. FlashInvaders was not live at that time and the second edition of the Invasion of Paris 2.0 was not issued as well.

PA_183 [10 points]
For years this almost 16 years old space invader was hidden away under a layer of white paint and not unrecognizable as a space invader. At least not for outsiders. Space invader fans in the possession of the book "Invasion of Paris" knew where to go over the years. But always seen with the white paint.
Since the game FlashInvaders was introduced it was necessary to have a well recognizable photo for the appllication to gain the 10 points this PA_183 is worth. And so it happened that one of the space invader fans went out to clean this space invader and safe it for the future and made it 'flashable' for the ones who play FlashInvaders.

Another new to my collection space invaders. Thanks to the brilliant work of the re-activators who put up this outlines 30 points worth invader with mirror eyes. Located in a relatively quiet but wide street in the quartier Javal: in the 15ème arrondissement in Paris. The original was made in the 20th century.

[ Found this one more than half a year after invasion! ]
My favorite Parisien street artist is very active these days in Paris. Time again for some space invader hunting for the real fans...
Reason: Following his work for already 9 years now and found a lot of his work around the world and especially in Paris. He is very active the last few days and weeks and some beautiful new invaders are active in the streets of Paris. This is one of his most recent pieces, number 1100 in Paris to be exact.
Location: Paris, 1er arrondissement. On this location, PA_167 used to be located from March 1999 (invaded) till September 2007 (deleted).
GPS: 48°51'55" N 2°20'12" E
Space Invaders: This one has identity PA_1100 which means that this is number 1100 in Paris. A lot of them are still visible in the streets. Some more than 15 years already. Unfortunately a lot have been removed or even worse, been stolen.

I was in the neighbourhood and realized that I never took the time to "Flashinvader" this PA_650. Surprisingly this one was in full sunlight when I got here. Good enough for a photo revisit as well.

A revistit to this location near Gambetta for two reasons. First to revisit PA_08 which has been re-activated in June 2015 after it has been removed in 2009 more than 10 years after its invasion. One of the oldest space invader locations in Paris and the world.
Second reason was to 'flash' the Bugs Bunny space invader PA_1083 right above the location of PA_08 (or PA_008)

PA_231 [20 points]
A re-activation which is very hard to capture on picture and also hard to 'flash' by the online game FlashInvaders. A sunscreen which wasn't there during the first installation in 1999 is very annoying in the way here. And the mirror eyes of this one do therefore not work properly (reflections etc.) but another never seen space invader is back in the streets again, this one is in the 2ème arrondissement.

One of Invader's successful attempts to give vegetarian food and living attention in the 9th arrondissment of Paris. This one is part of a series of space invaders with this vegetarian theme. Space carrots! PA_1319 was number 3578 in the world. Featuring a mosaïc of RV2011 as well here!
