Secret Signals from Voyager 2?

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.
