It almost looks like a April fools joke but it isn't.

I'm sure Jodie Foster is currently investigating...

If its coming from orbit then how can we..... Nuke from orbit as its the only way to be sure ????

you let them land and THEN nuke them from Orbit. I think Alien has thought us that.

You can also nuke the lower orbit from a higher orbit.

Lol

There's a lot more that we don't know than there is stuff that we know.

Is that a variation on the famous Rumsfeld quote?

I didn't bother making distinctions between what we know we don't know and what we don't know that we don't know.

Seems that our telescopes, radio and optical, are reaching deeper into time/space and that a lot of pet theories are coming into question as a result. I seem to remember that even the Big Bang theory is being questioned nowadays, and that has been pretty much a staple since I first started paying attention to this stuff, lo these many years ago. (Love that phrase, LOL)

Science is so cool.

Interesting. Spread-spectrum several millisecond
bursts whose frequencies are staggered in time, and
the slope of frequency vs time varies in small integer
multiples. The arxiv article abstract says also they
"tend to arrive at close to the full integer second",
making it look a lot like some local wierdness, likely
of a miltary intelligence nature. Except that they don't
occur very often. Still, it might be a sufficiently
distinctive signal that a receiver could be made that
would pick it up quite ambiguously out of the noise -
another variation on Hedy LaMarr's broadcast scrambler
concept. In that case, particularly if it was used as
a yes/no kind of one-off signal, it wouldn't need to
be used often.

It might even be contrived to have a spread spectrum
whose dispersion mimics natural phenomena in order to
be less noticeable, unfortunately attracting the attention
of those who study natural phenomena. At any rate,
considering the degree to which simple integer relations
are revealed in the signals, it would seem an anthropogenic
source is the most parsimonious explanation, with the
current data set.

When we finally are visited by some other bunch from out there they are going to go ' Dudes, do you know how long it took us to contact you backwards peeps ? We nearly had to reinvent the wheel just to make something so terribly primitive just so you could understand there was something else out there. By the way, rockets are so three million years ago, and the big bang , looks at the rest of his buds and smirks, pull my finger...come on'

LOL Ajay. Happy birthday by the way!

Many happy returns!

When decrypted the message says:

"If you're reading this it means we've been dead for billions of years."

If you are reading this message it means they already know where you are and are coming for you... Leave while you still can.

"Dear Humans. We have been receiving your porn broadcasts for many of your Earth years. You might assume that because we are advanced aliens, we would not have porn or something, but because we are a much, much older race, the stuff that turns us on is much, much more kinky. For instance..."

"Dear humans,

All your base are belong to us. Make ready the bomb."








I had to do it...

We sent our probe, they sent their probe... but with the huge distance, we will probably never met...
