What is 33 years old, speaks 55 languages, and is in search of extraterrestrials? Of course, we all know it to be the Voyager 2 Spacecraft.
With a storyline that could easily be mistaken for an old script from Lost in Space , NASA sent an unmanned 722kg probe into space in 1977, packed to the rafters with all sorts of technology. Included is a golden record on which are stored people’s voices, nature – waves and birds and 90 minutes of music, including Mozart and Beethoven. I assume NASA think that superior life forms would appreciate music composed in the 1700’s. Lets hope so.
Once again, typical of a script from the Robinsons, it is reported that the Voyager 2 spacecraft is sending back what sounds like ET communication with signals in an unknown data format! A secret message? Perhaps they want someone to change the CD or turn the music down. If you have kids, you know as well as I do what its like to hear Hanna Montana over and over again.
What if they prefer ABBA or even Cliff Richard? Its food for thought don’t you think? Anyway, I digress.
The best scientific minds have so far not been able to decipher the strange information. Sounds a bit like my hard drive when it died the other day. If they do find someone, I wonder if I can get his card?
Alien expert Hartwig Hausdorf (54, ‘UFOs – They Are Still Flying’) said: “It seems almost as if someone had reprogrammed or hijacked the probe – thus perhaps we do not yet know the whole truth…”
The signal takes 13 hours to reach earth, and it has gone further than any man made craft before it. I guess the signal travelling billions of miles to reach earth anything can happen. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Voyager was launched in 1977, making it 33 years old, not 13.

Thanks for picking up that typo Crapalation – it has been fixed.

Crapalation gets the ‘cigar’…. 🙂 Just checking who would pick it first…. honest…. 😮
Thanks for that 😉

My quaestions are… nice gold cd and all, but what if the aliens don’t have a cd player? What would aliens be doing hovering around the edge of our solar system?

It appears that aliens got to R M Walker’s message before he could get it finished.

Perhaps the aliens are toying with us. if they are advanced enough to space travel, they must have certainly gone through the Long Play era.
