SG Community Puzzle 2 [Yeah I stole the idea from oligovore xD]

Open
Sq1rr3l

I really enjoyed the puzzle from oligovore yesterday and wanted to make something similar :D
I never made such a kind of puzzle, so it isn't that great, but I hope you have at least a little bit fun with it :D

It's a group puzzle, so feel free to work together :D
You have time untill the 19th january, but I'm sure you won't need so much time xD

So here is the first stage :3

the new image is a rar file for backwards.txt, but it needs a password to open ...

The ELA turns up some fuzziness around Puerto Vallarta, the Gulf Coast and the islands south of Florida - not sure if the image was actually edited there though or if it's important

I have no idea what ELA means, but this seems to be the original image, maybe compare them?

Error level analysis. It looks like the source image also has some in the same areas. NASA probably just made the tropical areas looks more blue or something

The bluesign® system is a solution for sustainable textile production. It's... probably unrelated.
P.S. Is it usually allowed to post a direct link to the current puzzle to make it easier to return to?

it was allowed in oligovore's puzzle, and since it would just be clicking through solved puzzles, I think it's okay here too

The 00100s split it up into parts of equal length.

Edit: solved! delete three 1000s after every "real" character. Also delete the 00100s and the 11011 that begin each line. Then turn it into binary, 1000 -> 0 and 10101 -> 1.

I turned it into an easier to read format!

C.......A...A...............A...A
B.......A...A.......A............
B.......A...A.......A...........A
B.......A...A...............A...A
B.......A...A.......A.......A...A
B.......A...A...........A.......A
B.......A...A.......A...A...A....

So then I noticed things were spaced out by three dots, deleting them gives

C.AA...AA
B.AA.A...
B.AA.A..A
B.AA...AA
B.AA.A.AA
B.AA..A.A
B.AA.AAA.

and that's obviously binary
