Now, this one is really tough to spot. Just after the words "dark matter" appear on the screen, there is a momentary flash of light, and if you scan through the following frames at low-speed, you'll find that there's a single frame containing the hand-written words, "observers are here."

The Observers are of course the show's shadowy antagonists, and so right from the show's very first episode, Abrams is subliminally warning the audience to be wary of them.
