STARSHIP'S SOS STUNS SCIENTISTS
|
|
|
|
In one of the most super secrets in history, a joint Soviet-American
|
|
scientist team is studying a mysterious radio signal from outer space - a
|
|
distress call sent from a planet or starship 50,000 yrs. ago.
|
|
"This is a stunning breakthrough. Our computers have actually translated a
|
|
major portion of the radio signal," said one U.S. astronomer who discussed the
|
|
research with a French freelance news service on the condition that he not be
|
|
identified.
|
|
|
|
Portions of the amazing message were put together in a reasonably accurate
|
|
form by the team in April, but have not been published.
|
|
|
|
"GUIDE US TO FOURTH UNIVERSE. EXPLOSION. WE ARE IN PERIL. WE ARE IN TIME
|
|
117.098 IN 12th GALAXY," was the frantic message.
|
|
|
|
"Very simply, from a mathamatical translation, we can assume this was an
|
|
ancient spacecraft, or even a planet. It was looking for some kind of beacon,
|
|
a signal, to guide them out of danger. This whole thing is mind-boggling,"
|
|
said the astronomer.
|
|
|
|
"My Soviet counterparts have done the majority of computer translation and we
|
|
have been working night and day to pinpoint the source of the signal."
|
|
|
|
"Our initial calculations have shown, and we may may be proven very wrong
|
|
later, that the signal was sent at least 50,000 years ago, and maybe longer."
|
|
|
|
"My colleagues feel and we must have more conclusive analysis of the message
|
|
before we publish a report. I disagree. Both our goverments are briefed on our
|
|
progress constantly. I feel the whole story should be made public now!"
|
|
|
|
"It is conclusive proof, to me, that mankind is not alone. I only wish that I
|
|
could go into further detail. There is much more to this story and more of the
|
|
signal to be translated"
|
|
|
|
"But I will say this, when this goes public, it will have one of the greatest
|
|
effects on the human race in history! It could even bring about world peace",
|
|
said the unidentified astronomer.
|
|
|
|
Both U.S. and Soviet goverment spokesmen refused to confirm or deny that
|
|
scientific research into an alien message was taking place.
|
|
|
|
The Soviet spokesman, however, said that "Our goverment is constantly seeking
|
|
new information from space, and that it includes scanning for radio signals of
|
|
any kind. It is not inconceivable that our advanced equiptment could pick up a
|
|
message of this sort. I am just not at liberty to discuss it any further at
|
|
this point."
