Alien Encounter "The Message" is a 2012 Science Channel Show.
Part of the show reports on the message that was put aboard the Voyager spacecraft. The message was recorded in many languages. Does this seem like the best way to communicate with another world? If you were trying to communicate with someone that does not speak your language, would using more that one language seem more likely to be understood than using a single language? Saying the same thing 50 different ways doesn't seem like the best way to communicate. |

But really, the recording had nothing to do with communicating with another world. It was a symbolic gesture for a device that would ultimately leave our system. Much of the content was designed for its significance to us (and our different cultures), not as a serious attempt to communicate. |

I remember reading that Voyager 1, upon being successfully launched, was instantly guaranteed to eventually become mankind's most ancient artifact. I've always found this to be a fascinating thought. |

Just pray that nothing brings it back before The USS Enterprise is ready for service. |

As far as I can tell, most ETs within DARPA and NASA are colorblind, although having other superior capabilities that more than make up for that genetic deficiency. What an amazing claim! What evidence do you have to support such a strange idea? Let alone support this unlikely abnormality? Do you have such access to NASA and DARPA premises that the "ETs" who work there freely share such confidences in the canteen? If, as you suggest, "ETs" are working for NASA and DARPA then why the hell don't they share their technology so that we might go and visit their homes? Your claims are so full of holes that they totally undermine all your other fantastic suggestions. Let's take the current example: Any species, sufficiently developed to achieve interstellar travel, could modify their DNA with both manipulative appendages behind whatever passes for their backs. Colour blindness comes a long way down the "things I must fix today" for an advanced, technological civilisation. Which they must be, by default, to have reached the Earth, even from the nearest star. It may be that we never meet a truly alien species. Only ourselves returning from the future via some accidental time anomaly. UFOs, ghosts etc. are all just as easily explained by time distortions as they are by blaming ETs. |
