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."

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.

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

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.
