ET signal from
space detected
04.29.2001?
SOURCE: UFOLOGIE.NET ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE GREATEST CONFUSION: The Swiss radio station "Premiere" communicated: Sunday, April 29 2001 07:00: "Détection d'un signal extraterrestre par un radiotélescope australien. Ce matin, aux environs de 6h30, heure suisse, nous avons reçu une information exceptionnelle de notre correspondante en Australie, Diane Care: un signal particulier en provenance de l'espace aurait été détecté par un radiotélescope, celui de l'Observatoire de Parkes. La question de l'existence d'une vie extraterrestre se pose à nouveau." "Detection of an extraterrestrial signal by an Australian radio telescope. This morning, around 06:30am, Swiss time, we received exceptional information from our reporter in Australia, Diane Care: a particular signal coming from space has allegedly been detected by a radio telescope of the Parkes Observatory. The question of the existence of an extraterrestrial life is raised again."The announcement includes of course the ridiculous news item about the shutdown of the so called "British UFO Bureau" which I have already explained, which adds some more confusion to this affair. Tuesday 1st of may, Parkes observatory announces: On its web site on http://www.parkes.atnf.csiro.au/ : "News Flash: 1 May 2001. Recent internet reports have erroneously indicated that the Parkes telescope detected a SETI signal last week. No such signal was detected. The story seems to have originated in Switzerland. It appears to be a publicity stunt engineered by two students presenting a SETI project, as part of the "Week of Science" festival in Geneva."On 29.04.2001 it seemed impossible to get any valuable additional information, except that the signal has been detected 10 days ago and that the news leaked out of the observatory. to the local reporting person of the Swiss radio channel. Later the same day, an overexcited and totally confused astronomer has been summoned to "explain" the information on the same radio channel: he does not know anything, he ignores the nature of the signal and just explains that if it is a natural radio signal there is nothing interesting about it, that stars emit light and radio waves (did you know that!), and if it is an artificial signal (which is what the news item is all about!) then it would be evidence of an extra-terrestrial intelligence, but "this would be like science fiction" etc. The next day was just as confused but also very exciting: we learn that the ET signal has been "smuggled out" or hacked out, from a non-encrypted laboratory network transmission, RSR says that the observatory sees nothing particular in the signal but at the same time, the Observatory director says otherwise in the on-line audio interview: he admits that unusual signals were received in the last days. They are unusual, but not interpreted yet, (which is totally normal, this might take ages). In the interview, the Observatory spokesman seems quite embarrassed by the "no comment" previously issued. Obviously something is happening: it would have been possible to state that no particular signal was received... Tueday 1st of may, RSR announces the signal is confirmed: it is certain now that it is a message from an intelligence located in space. The United Nations has been informed and are expected to announce the discovery soon. There is still not even the slightest echo of this event in any other media. If you wish to work on the signal, you can find it here. Tueday 1st of may, Parkes observatory announces: On its web site on http://www.parkes.atnf.csiro.au/ : News Flash: 1 May 2001. Recent internet reports have erroneously indicated that the Parkes telescope detected a SETI signal last week. No such signal was detected. The story seems to have originated in Switzerland. It appears to be a publicity stunt engineered by two students presenting a SETI project, as part of the "Week of Science" festival in Geneva. The RSR has now, 05.01.2001 14:00, announced that they have set up a "special operation" and the director adds that "we are sorry for the disagreement". VERIFICATIONS: At this time, I could positively verify that the information is really from the "Premiere" Swiss radio Channel. The radio's web announcement is on http://www.rsr.ch/ in the section "Premiere". I also checked, of course, that the Parkes Observatory in Australia is involved in the SETI project. It is. THE RADIO
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The audio messages are capital: they sometimes totally contradict the meaning of the text. You need to listen to these audio track to get the real "taste" of the event.
