FIRST CONTACT WITH EXTRATERRESTRIAL CIVILIZATION
Houston. NASA has confirmed that the anomalous radio pulses emanating from Barnard's star that NASA SETI researchers discovered nearly a month ago are definitely artificial. "We haven't decoded the signals yet, but they clearly are data packets," Dr. Henry Brancusi, head of the NASA team declared. "They repeat every 33 hours. Most peculiar. As the closest candidate for a star with a habitable zone, Barnard's was one of the earliest targets of the first SETI researchers, but nothing had ever been detected before. It's as if they've just gone on the air." --Science News
* * * *SPACE TELESCOPE DETECTS INHABITED PLANET Lunagrad. The Greater European Space Agency has confirmed the existence of a technological civilization on the fourth planet of Barnard's star. The GESA massive optical array on the far side of the Moon has detected a ring of satellite-sized objects in perfect Geosynchronous orbit around the planet. "It can't be anything else," said Leonid Vyshinkov, director of the MOA station, "we are looking at a high technical civilization. There is no further reason to doubt that we are indeed receiving a message from intelligent beings on the fourth planet of Barnard's star." --L'Espresso * * * *INTERSTELLAR PRIME TIME?
