i just hope the discovery is made in my lifetime
real life martians baby!


Let's hope so GezinhoKiko.


Seems Jose Antonio Caravaca who sourced the telegram has also found more supplemental material about the 1924 signals and it's mentioned that it sounded like someone playing a low key of a piano..



The 1924 Mars Telegram -- Addenda




Translation:

SIGNS OF OTHER PLANETS (by Morrison Colladay. International Digest. Published in Spain in February 1949 in Revista Meridiano, Meridian Magazine)...

"In 1924, when Mars was very close to the Earth, radio engineers were trying to connect to the red planet, to hear signals that could not be identified with anything terrestrial." The New York Herald Tribune said, on August 23, 1924 that these unexplained signals were received simultaneously in London, Vancouver and Newark (New Yersey). Engineers at the station WOR, Newark, insisted that they had heard and believed regular signals that were not due to static electricity. Several Newark appliance operators heard signals simultaneously for several hours,and said it appeared as if someone was playing a low key of a piano."

Cheers.

GezinhoKiko, thanks for the post mate and, as mentioned in the Astronomy link below, 'there's reason to be optimistic about the possibility of life forms on Mars, even if none have ever been detected at the surface'.


Is Mars methane the breath of life?




Localised plumes of methane detected on Mars could be coming from life forms under the planet's surface according to NASA and academic scientists. The findings were revealed in a live webcast yesterday at 19:00 GMT. Though there could be other possible, non-biological processes responsible for the methane, it is the strongest clue to date that the red planet may not be a dead world.

They seem more open minded to meeting Aliens before the war of the worlds broadcast..... That broadcast set the tone for the public reaction to alien contact ever since.

Perhaps it wasn't just a story after all......the second wave or different aliens altogether

Anyway, did you ask this guy if he has any related info or even pics?
Rare microfilm

His list says 1924 has entries...

I suspect the signals were misinterpreted but here's another interesting newspaper headline from August, 1924.



You'd be correct.


Hey everybody, these signals turned out to be wide band natural noise not narrowband artificial signals a radio transmitter produces but which nature can not produce.

The good news is that they WERE extraterrestrial, but not coming from little green men from Mars but massive storms in Jupiter's atmosphere as well as radio noise from the plasma of our Sun.



These early experiments lead to the science of radio astronomy which has been used to study the natural objects of our solar system and beyond.

This by the way was not the first time scientists encountered something strange in radio. 43 years after the experiment in the original post radio astronomers Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Antony Hewish heard a series of pulses separated by 1.33 seconds that originated from the same location on the sky, and kept to sidereal time.


They next looked explanations for the pulses, the short period of the pulses eliminated most astrophysical sources of radiation, such as stars, and since the pulses followed sidereal time, it could not be man-made radio frequency interference. When observations with another radio telescope confirmed the emission, it eliminated any sort of instrumental effects.

At this point, Burnell notes of herself and Hewish that "we did not really believe that we had picked up signals from another civilization, but obviously the idea had crossed our minds and we had no proof that it was an entirely natural radio emission."

Even so, they nicknamed the signal LGM-1, for "little green men" (a playful name for intelligent beings of extraterrestrial origin). It was not until a second pulsating source was discovered in a different part of the sky that the "LGM hypothesis" was entirely abandoned.

The had not discovered aliens but they DID discover a new natural phenomena: Pulsars.

The precise beating of dead stars in the radio spectrum that became very important in our understanding of stellar evolution.

Pulsars have unique fingerprints and have been etched into the plaques of Pioneer 10 spacecrafts and gold record covers of the Voyager spacecrafts to show the location of origin because Pulsars beat so regularly that a billion years from now they'd still have the same pattern. Any aliens or perhaps future humanity which would recover the plaques below could pinpoint where the spacecraft came from as well as when it was sent by locating 3 of those pulsars.









While the discovery of pulsars was not as cool as space aliens, but still cool in that it provided many breakthroughs in our understanding of the universe.


I'd hope this illustrates the difference between science and UFOlogy. The first place we go when faced with something unexplained in science is not "omg aliens!" it's nature. Only once nature or problems with the experiment are ruled out would we turn to the possibility that it might represent something remarkable like the discovery of alien life.

We're just as open minded to meeting aliens today if they exist. And the difference between 1924 and now is we have plenty of good reason to suspect that they probably do exist elsewhere in our galaxy.

The more things changed the more they remain the same. The same reasons which caused fears in war of worlds are still here today. There will never be disclosure.

In 1931 Nikola Tesla appeared on the cover of Time magazine and they stated "All the world's his power house".
So the US Navy must have been playing along with the Tesla 1899 Colorado Springs patent.

The Niagara Falls power plant worked a little too well to write Tesla off as a crazed lunatic.
The cryptic disclosure methodology Tesla used appears also to be his downfall in the eyes of many.

Reminds me of Sir Arthur Conan Doyles short story "The Final Problem".
