SETI Signal
From: Kane Guy

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.
