Jeff confirmed back in December that he’s working on a new album, which probably means he’s made significant progress on it if he was ready to make that statement. Given his trend in the last 8~ years, an autumn release seems likely, with a late summer announcement/reveal. This was just posted with the “looking eyes” emoji, which is often used when somebody is teasing something on social media. Perhaps a hint?? http://instagram.com/p/Cf4L_7KvQhL |

July 2022 might be the 50th anniversary of when Jeff took over leadership of ELO, and I've no reason to doubt the possibility of that cryptic post being a hint of something coming soon, especially as we'd previously been told there was new material in the cards, but the image itself dates back to the AITU promotional cycle. My guess is that it's obscure enough for Jeff and his team to hope nobody will make the connection, so perhaps this is being repurposed into helping market another studio project or maybe even a tour?

Like ShardEnder says it’s an image from AITU era, think it was also in the tour programme, but it’s weird why it has been posted now with the comment they made. |

I think the image indicates that Jeff is collaborating with Alan Parsons - an Eye in the Sky, so to speak. Pyramids are very much a prog design staple.  |

Maybe one of the songs he's recorded is a cover of Walk Like An Egyptian by The Bangles.

Spaceship over a pyramid? Perhaps Jeff is planning a gig at The Louvre? Or at that Vegas resort with the pyramid?
hopefully it's a tease for something real: album, tour, ...

I think the image indicates that Jeff is collaborating with Alan Parsons - an Eye in the Sky, so to speak. Pyramids are very much a prog design staple. Ironically, before 1982's Eye in the Sky, The Alan Parsons Project did release an album titled Pyramid (stylized as Pyr△mid) back in 1978!  It is a concept album centred on the pyramids of Giza. At the time the album was conceived, interest in pyramid power and Tutankhamun was widespread in the US and the UK. Pyramid was nominated for the 1978 Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_(The_Alan_Parsons_Project_album) Side one

It would be lovely, but I doubt that this collaboration would be in the works: Pyramids and lots of other Egyptian references and symbols are a part of Earth Wind and Fire's history...

Did he play on the Pyramid stage? But a live album from this incarnation of ELO is not interesting to me, I would rather have archival live releases from the 70's.

, but we're OK. 
Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
