They are harping on the news source rather than the official site of the NSA.

Well, no duhhh...programs like CNN and FOX aren't going to make mention of this. They have to keep the "no-aliens-exist-that's-just-crazy-talk-humans-are-the-most-intelligent-lifeform-after-all-Earth-is-the-center-both-physically-and-metaphorically- speaking-of-the-universe-" propaganda

It's not bogus.... It's just not what you want it/think it to be. Read the complete article and you'll see it is just a theoretical exercise and not based on an actual message from another planet.
If it was, do you really believe it would be released without any redactions? With the name of the crypto-analyst? That a court could make the NSA to FOIA a document they don't want to release, when all they need to say is the magic words..."National Security"?

Besides, if it was real, all SETI scientists and the rest of the worlds scientists would be all over this thing.....

I never specifically stated what I thought it was....the fact that its even an exercise by the NSA is what's noteworthy.

This has been done before many many times on ATS since my membership began, in April this year.

I believe it is a document used to test the deciphering ability of people or entrants into the NSA. I could be wrong, give me some time to find the other threads.

edit: Seems this has already been figured out.

I was really oping this was true but then I stumbled on this while doing some more research. It looks like it was a pretty big misunderstanding for a lot of people. >>> www....(nolink)/nsa-practices-deciphering-et-signals-668/ <<<

We had a thread about this today, and apparently eleven more this year, three in 2009, four in 2006, and two in 2003 (by IsaacKoi's count; going by the release date, the 2003 count can't be right).

My count was of discussions of NSA documents (which usually, but not quite invariably, focus on the "exterrestrial message" documents).

My notes now include 14 threads on ATS about the NSA documents THIS YEAR (plus several more threads in which these documents pop up briefly).

As I posted in the last thread on this topic (i.e. another one started just yesterday...), I've previously wondered whether the number of threads is a reason for avoiding writing about those documents OR a reason for writing a reasonably detailed thread about those documents at some point (which would not take very long, since the number of documents - and number of relevant sources discussing the documents - is relatively limited).

Several books and articles have discussed these documents over the years.

There's more information available in the off-line sources than the online material which gets cut and pasted on ATS fairly regularly.

The same nonsense just gets repeated, year after year in thread after thread.

from what I can gather, this document was typed up on a 1940's type writer...photographed...scanned...printed...photographed again (with a cell phone)...and then finally printed out with a 1990's ribbon ink printer.

Then declassified for our reading leisure.
Seriously though, does the NSA have a $5 budget or something? have they ever heard of centering a page before scanning?

No one is wondering why these brilliant aliens would send us a message we couldnt decipher? Why send it only once? I see decades of indoctrination through tv and movies have removed the ability to think critically. You have a coded message, and immediately people say it is aliens.

I have deciphered the first page. It reads: To Serve Man

Well, that sounds harmless enough.

I'll start on Page 2.

I see you're a fan of classic Twilight Zone episodes.... So don't go on that space ship ;-)

If you look at the documents, you'll see it's an unclassified cryptography exercise. No aliens were involved, unless one went undercover as a mathematician named Howard. All the excitement today seems to be over the key; if you're interested in codebreaking, you should probably start with the original puzzle.

This only was released because 99% of us, are absolutely unable to figure out what that means. To be honest I don't buy it's an authentic NSA document.

Yea, I mean the NSA was just forced to give up the documents via Federal Court Order...

But it's probably some some other organization or something - probably the TSA, that's just one letter off.

Makes sense.

The fact that these documents are viewable through the NSA website is moot!

It makes me wonder if people even read the thread, or if they just read the first post and skip to the end to respond =)

Nope, hardly anyone reads comments. Frustrating isn't it.

Agree. They have acutally messed it up for "virgin" interpretation. It would be cool if they could release the audio so that people could listen to it. You know how some people suffer a tramatic event, usually health or accident related, then all of a sudden they can speak or understand completely unfamiliar to them? I think with some serious meditation and unadultered listening, someone might actually understand the signals.

There isn't any audio.

The relevant NSA article is a fictional problem, which was a teaching tool repeatedly used by some of the experts involved. They also had a sense of humour.

I'm getting more and more tempted about writing a thread about those people and the relevant articles, as a bit of a break from the large thread I've been researching about Astronomers and UFOs.
