NASA Received An SOS Call From Another Galaxy ?

[Hum]

 

NASA detected, intercepted, and decoded a mathematically-based distress signal from a purportedly doomed planetoid outside our own galaxy.

The signal was detected in January of 1998 but, however and as it might be expected, it took many months to properly decode the message.

NASA experts claim to have intercepted an intergalactic distress call from an alien civilization that had already peaked and was actually dying when saber-tooth tigers still roamed the earth.

The 80,000-year-old SOS was received and digitally recorded in late January 1998.

But only in recent weeks have radio astronomers and language experts found the key to the complex mathematics-based language that enabled them to translate the 'frantic plea for help'.

The world press has been suspiciously silent about the startling message, though lengthy scientific reports are scheduled for publication in two professional journals, Radio Astronomy and Universe.

The video is better suited for some massage parlor music.

"An article originally published in Weekly World News..."

 

Stop. That's it. Thread's over. Go home folks.

[Praetor]

i almost swear I've read this in 2012 or so...

That makes it more credible how?

April Fools!

I want to believe, but there's too many red flags here. If NASA received as little as a hint of an artificial signal, it would be major headline news, not on the cover of Weekly World News.

There hasnt been anything since the WOW signal.... as far as we know... :shifty:

If there was, we'd know. The thing about space, is that it's open to everyone. Not just NASA.

[Setnom]

If somebody says NASA did something, but that something isn't nowhere to be seen on the NASA website... do not believe it.

Ridiculous!

 

It took them 16 years to conjure up something that they think is mathematically a message?

 

In other words, they have no clue as to what they are talking about! We sure as heck would've heard of this a long time ago, if it was even remotely real.

Could have been aired on the "History Channel" LOL!!!

[Krome]

lol I've watched that video many times and I watched them long ago.  Why did you just choose to post this now Hum?  Oh right, April 1st :p

Good point - especially since NASA relies on help from amateur astronomers all over the world.

Well did the Borg assimilate them or was it Q being mischievous this time?

NASA is not free to release just any information, discoveries.

 

They are controlled.

 

Not everything published in tabloids are made up or distorted.

 

On the other hand, there was a Viktor Kulikov -- but he does not appear to be a Doctor, scientist, or connected with the United Nations.

I could not track down if or when this story may have been published in Radio Astronomy or Universe.

 

So, this will have to remain doubtful.

 

I also do not see how you translate some alien math 'code' into English words like 'help'.

 

 

A light year, or the distance light can travel in a year, is over five trillion miles.

 

Believed distance to the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.54 million light-years, or 778 kiloparsecs.

 

80,000 years ... ?

 

Radio waves are also said to break up beyond a certain distance, so how would any clear message arrive from such distances ....
