SETI Signal From: Kane Guy 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Hi All! I know this file is a little old, but I thought it would at least provoke some more 'discussion' on the subject of whether life exists beyond our planet. ;) "SETI RECEIVES A SIGNAL?" A REMARKABLE REPORT On Saturday the 10th of February 1996, at approximately 7:05 am, a report was aired on BBC Radio 5 Live's morning news that should have stunned the world into silence. A report so profound that it should have entirely changed the human races attitude to the world in which we live, and forever changed our perception of life, the universe, and well, everything! The report stated that the SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) project had picked up an unusual signal coming from one of the planets that had recently been discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope. The signal was believed to be artificial in nature. Now a story of this magnitude should have been all across the worlds media within a matter of hours. Experts should have been dragged from their weekend relaxation to give their insightful analysis on this most remarkable of events. The content hungry, all consuming, rolling news networks now in existence should have provided wall to wall media coverage, 24 hours a day for a captivated audience, because at last it would be official that the human race is not alone. With the above in mind it will undoubtedly come as a shock to some readers that apart from the BBC, I have only been able to find two other sources that reported what should have been the most remarkable event in the history of the human race. So why was this report not more widely covered by the mainstream news media? Was it a hoax, false information, a false alarm, or was there something more sinister behind the distinct lack of coverage? In my opinion these questions needed to be answered, so following in the footsteps of countless other intrepid investigators before me, I set off in pursuit of the truth. EARTH LISTENS TO MARS Strange as it may seem, reports of signals being received from outer space are not as unusual as they at first may sound. The first report comes from the father of radio himself, Marconi, who whilst experimenting with his new invention managed to pick up a series of coded signals that appeared to be similar to Morse code. Despite intensive study these signals could not be decoded, and after racking his brains Marconi's only possible explanation was that they had to have originated from space. It was therefore a very surprised and somewhat bemused American press who heard the announcement in New York by J.C.H. MacBeth, the London Manager for the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, that the Earth was in the process of communicating with beings from the planet Mars! Needless to say the signals received by Marconi have still not been explained to this day, but they did, in part, inspire the now almost forgotten "Listening In" project during the summer of 1924. The aim of this project was to silence all terrestrial radio communications for 5 minutes on the hour, every hour, for a period of two days during Mars' closest approach to the Earth. This would hopefully create the optimum conditions to listen for any radio broadcasts that may come from the red planet. The project utilized the newly developed "radio photo message continuous recording machine", which produced flashes of light which were then recorded on film whenever an incoming message was detected. After 36 hours of recording, the film was developed and Francis Jenkins, the machines inventor, told a stunned press conference that the device had indeed received signals and that in addition to a fairly regular arrangement of dots and dashes the film also showed "a repetition at intervals of about a half hour what appears to be a human face, and it's a freak which we can't explain". What was surprising about this project was that it was fully supported by the United States Government, who used all of their diplomatic influence to try to persuade other countries to observe the radio silence. This government support does, of course, not tend to support the current vogue theories of cover-ups and misinformation campaigns, but then again 1924 was before Roswell. THE VOICE OF GLON All of these reports almost inevitably involve only a few witnesses or individuals working alone, however there is one report of a signal from space that was witnessed by literally millions. On the evening of the 26th of November 1977, viewers of TVS, a regional TV station in England, and listeners of LBC, a regional radio station in London, were amazed when their normal programming was interrupted by the "Voice of Glon" from the "Asteron Galactic Command". Glon, who claimed to be broadcasting from space, went on to say how disappointed he was by the human races stewardship of the planet Earth, and in a very similar vein to many of today's abduction accounts, Glon told a stunned audience that our planet was only decades away from destruction. The broadcast was heard over a large part of southern England with the result that police switchboards were swamped with calls from the general public who were alarmed and frightened by the mysterious message. Although this transmission was widely passed off as a hoax perpetrated by a high spirited student, a TVS official was later forced to admit that "our engineers are trying to discover exactly what happened. We can't imagine how it was done, but it appears that someone must have managed to transmit a signal directly over ours. The equipment used would need to be very sophisticated and expensive.". So did the authorities, via the media, try to suppress this story by claiming it was a hoax? I must admit that it could certainly be seen that way by many of the conspiracy lobby. Broadcasting on any commercial frequency without permission is a serious offense in the UK, but despite an extensive police investigation no one was ever suspected, let alone charged for the offense, and hardly any mention of this bizarre message has ever been repeated. Cointinued in next message.....
