It has been dubbed Breakthrough Listen Candidate 1 or simply BLC-1.Īlthough the Breakthrough Listen team are still working on the data, we know that the radio signal was detected by the Parkes telescope in Australia while it was pointing at Proxima Centauri, which is thought to be orbited by at least one habitable planet. The discovery, which was reported by the Guardian but has yet to be published in a scientific journal, may be the search for extraterrestrial intelligence’s (SETI) first bona fide candidate signal. This has generated a flood of excitement in the press and among scientists themselves. Much like Fox Mulder, “I want to believe,” but in this case, I am skeptical.The US$100m (£70m) Breakthrough Listen Initiative, founded by Russian billionaire, technology and science investor Yuri Milner and his wife Julia, has identified a mysterious radio signal that seems to come from the nearest star to the Sun, Proxima Centauri. Maybe even a United Nations task force might be assembled. A think tank of our greatest minds from around the world would probably be convened to decipher the message. I imagine that would-be water cooler conversation for quite some time. Consider the consequences of your actions or we will destroy the planet.” That is a “WOW” statement. What he could have said was something to the effect of, “We have been watching you for centuries. In my opinion, it would have been highly convincing if Vrillon would have cut to the chase. The impassioned plea sounds way too scripted. Why not interrupt the BBC? Better yet, why not come to the United States and cut into Happy Days or a huge show like that (remember it is 1977 we are talking about)? Trust me, if you come between Americans and their favorite primetime shows, there is hell to be paid. Southern Television won’t give you a mass audience. If you have the ability to bend space and time to travel faster than the speed of light, surely you could have picked a more prominent television station. It would impart the fact Vrillon and his crew are serious about their message.Īnother point to consider.
ALIEN NEWS BOADCAST MOVIE
After all, visual confirmation would prove that the aliens exist and aren’t a bunch of B movie actors. That way, people know what is happening is real and not a hoax. However, if the aliens really wanted us to understand their message then why not enter our atmosphere and go to Washington, DC? It worked in the Day the Earth Stood Still. Something seems too “Hollywood” about this cautionary dialogue, in my mind.

Ok, that’s a plausible explanation but it seems to me that it would have had more impact if Vrillon would have just talked instead of making a production out of it. One question that springs readily to mind is, “How did they manage to find a teleprompter so that we could see their dialogue?”īelievers could argue that they have the technology, I mean they do come from another star system so they are pretty advanced. Now, while I find this freaky, I do have reservations about it being an actual message from an alien race. Until half-way through it, the signal was hijacked and then viewers heard a voice from another world speaking to them.

It seemed like an ordinary evening news program, nothing amiss. According to Creepypasta Wiki, in that same year, Southern Television was broadcasting the news when an interruption from an “outside” source took over their programming. While this is the more well-known example of potential contact, another one exists. This event might be the best candidate to prove that aliens may be out there and listening to us. To this day it is still mentioned whenever the possibility of life existing on another planet rears its head.

The transmission was nicknamed the “Wow” signal.

For a full seventy-two seconds, Ohio University’s Big Ear telescope captured and recorded a signal from the constellation Sagittarius. “Be still now and listen, for your chance may not come again.” – Vrillon The WOW Signalġ977 was a banner year for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence otherwise known as SETI. Is this real or just a hoax perpetrated by a clever techie? In November of 1977, Southern Television’s broadcast of the news in the UK was interrupted by what appeared to be a transmission from an alien named Vrillon. By Susan Leighton 4 years ago Follow Tweet
