- SPACE-NEWS: "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.
- 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.
