PA_030 [10 points]
An 'outlined' orange space invader of the very first generation recently being re-activated around 30/03/2015. This 30rd space invader in Paris did not have such a long life. The re-activation was made by one of the very active players of the game FlashInvaders. Hopefully this time PA_030 will stay a bit longer.

MARS_43 [50 points]
One of the most iconic space invaders of Marseille. There is not one space invader in the world that resembles this one. Located in a quiet street when descending from Notre-Dame de la Garde in the direction of Pharo.
Till August 2020 I found and flashed all 13 space invaders of wave 1 (MARS_01 - MARS_11 - 2004 and wave 2 (MARS_12 and MARS_13). But during wave 3 in August 2020 the number of space invaders went up to 97. In total 84 space invaders on my list again.

PA_609 [20 points]
This blue and red space invader in the 10ème arrondissement installed in 2005 was hidden behind a thick layer of paint somewhere between 2011 and March 2015. It was therefore not flashable for the game FlashInvaders and one of the most active players of this game and space invader hunter Olivier MOQUIN resqued this one and made it visible again for the fans and people passing by. Thank you for re-activating PA_609 right before its 10th 'birthday' in August 2015!

A revisit for the game FlashInvaders in one of the narrow one way side streets of the 11ème arrondissement of Paris. PA_861 is still there after more than 6 years, some tiles are missing but this PA_861 is still there and in good street art company with GZÚP, Diamand and Nature's Revenge. And this all on a cloudy morning in August when the mail man is delivering the mail.

Stewart 'flashing' his first space invader ever. Located in the Rue de la Huchette, PA_874 is worth 30 points and because it was his first space invader of the game he got another 100 bonus points due to 'a new city'.
PA_874 was installed on 18/08/2010 and is still active and 'flashable' as we speak.

RTD_17 [10 points]
This is one of the space invaders in Rotterdam which was presumed dead but has been re-activated this morning by space invader hunter and FlashInvaders player Joethecrab (ranking on number 6, 739 space invaders found and a score of 21,100 points as we speak) and yours truly (ranking on number 73, 269 space invader flashed and a score of 7,760 points). This 10 point black and white space invader was painted over for years and with a little help of us it has been re-activated again on the morning of April 16 on 09h33 in the morning. Looks like new and invaded yesterday. Though we say to ourselves!

THE INVASION OF ROTTERDAM
In the year 2001 the city of Rotterdam has been invaded by Invader. In 4 days Invader put 26 space invaders (1 hidden bonus) on the walls of Rotterdam. Sometimes hidden sometimes on very visible locations. I took some photos earlier but never put them on Flickr. Eight of the in total 25 space invader are still 'active' in 2015. Two were deleted in 2014 and 2 old new ones came back active (one re-activation and one became visible again due to the removal of a small billboard where it was hidden behind). Rotterdam was the 8th invaded city in the world.

A camo space invader made of rather big tiles in the 6ème arrondissement of Paris. The original has never popped up on Flickr or other media so I guess this one was quickly removed in its invasion year 2005.

Eater morning in Paris, blue skies, cold and a delightful morning walk through the 19ème arrondissement of Paris...
Location: Place de la Bataille de Stalingrad near Rotonde and Bassin de la Villette in the 19ème arrondissement of Paris.
Coordinates: 48°53'3" N 2°22'11" E
Earlier "52" About 2 years ago: 15/52 Rotonde de la Villette (2013)
Reason: Due to the addictive online game I have to revisit a lot of still 'flashable' space invaders in Paris. Because there are so many space invaders in Paris it is not possible to 'flash' (scan) them in one day. The only system for me is to flash them arrondissement by arrondissement in Paris. Apart from one I have finished the 19ème arrondissement this morning.
FlashInvaders: Spot and "flash" the street mosaics of Invader. Fill your gallery, score points and compete with other players. As we speak: 2,873 players, 80,639 flashes and 3,075,730 points.
Personal Facts and Figures: I started this game on 30/01/2015 with flashing my 1st space invader. Soon after I flashed space invaders in Amsterdam (all 9), Brussel (still to be flashed), Lille (1) and Paris is still under flash-invasion by me. On 06/03/2015 I flashed my 100th space invader and my goal was to enter the Top 100 within a few months. This happened last week on 02/04/2015 by flashing 12 space invaders in the Marais. The morning when taking this selfie the personal intermediate position is 222 space invaders, 6520 points and on the 94th rank in the game.
Weather: Blue skies but cold, 3" C
Self-portrait technics: Joby portable gorillapod on the floor, self timer on 10 seconds
MARS_71 [40 points]
Till this morning I found in total 60 space invaders in Marseille out of in total 97. I had to travel far outside the center to get some more on my list. I used a shared electric bicycle to drive along the coast in the direction of Montredon, Les Goudes and Callelongue. For this blue octopus on the Plage des Sablettes in Montredon I had to cycle 10 kilometers.

Due to the game FlashInvaders it feels like I have to revisit a lot of earlier visited and photographed space invaders. Some of them not really worth to take another picture of, sometimes conditions (light, weather and surroundings) are even better than during my first visit. I visited PA_1105 during a morning walk along the boulevards which seperates the 10th and 18th arrondissement of Paris. And this co-production with Cost I found in full morning sunshine. 30 points and a nice photo!

In the days that followed, the idea came to visit Amiens on the weekend of June 28 and 29 to search, capture and flash them. And so it happened..
