Mysterious “Alien Message” Is Revisited 41 Years Later

they STILL are baffled…

Galaxy Messier 13 is the potential location of this crazy message if it was true.  The S.E.T.I. program received a mysterious message in the 1970s.  Although there has been a lot of debate, no one can prove the origin with certainty.  It is still a debated topic with a lot of people saying it was a hoax or a misread.  However there are plenty folks who still think this was real:

In 1974, the Arecibo Radio Telescope received a major technological overhaul resulting in a massive boost in transmission power. To celebrate the upgrade, Doctors Frank Drake and Carl Sagan created an instellar greeting message, and translated it into a universally understandable binary code template capable of being transmitted to distant galaxies.

This is absolutely bizarre.  Do you think this is real?  Here is some more background on the findings:

The message is easily rendered into an infographic of humanity.
It starts with a basic binary count from 1 to 10, which serves as a built in decryption key to translate the message into a graphic form.

It then lists the atomic numbers for the most basic chemical elements that make up DNA, and describes the building blocks of DNA by giving the specific nucleotide formulas and showing the double helix DNA structure of every living thing on Earth.

Twenty seven years later, we received a reply.

Let’s find out more about this unusual message reply in the video on page 2

    They have technology capable of communicating with us from over 140,000 light years away, but rather than sending some kind of audio transmission, they made a crop circle? Okay.

    As far as how long a signal takes to get there with our tech of the time. That is not relative to the overall math. If they monitor space with the same technology the the time is halved. If b they have better, who knows. So discounting it because of the amount of time it would take to get there is bad science.

    It would have to be super luminal(faster than light). Because if it’s 140,000 light years away.. it takes 140,000years to get here. Soooo, it was sent 140,000 years ago….it would be easier to come here in their faster than light ship

    IF wormholes are in fact shortcuts through space and time… It’s just a theory. I would imagine the entrance of a wormhole would be a black hole, and if any energy or information were to enter that, it would be distorted. And then shot out of a theoretical white hole and scattered. It’s hard to imagine any life form would be so precise to figure out a way to direct energy to a specific point on earth through all of that chaos and use that to create a clean message in some guys corn field. Just seems really silly to me. Crop circles just don’t make any sense as a form of communication. No one gave them a second thought until Signs was released and all of a sudden crop circles were everywhere. come on, guys…
