When I was a kid my mother bought me a walkie talkie and every so often I used to take it outside and go, “hello? … hello?”
It appears to be a looping binary message. I haven’t been able to make sense of it, but I offer it here for others to decode;
011100110110010101101110011001000010000001101101011011110111001001100101001000000100100100100000010011000110111101110110011001010010000001001100011101010110001101111001
I for one welcome our new alien overlords.
I would have thought it would be:
01010111 01100101 00100000 01110111 01100001 01101110 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01101111 01101110 01100101 00100000 01100011 01100001 01101100 01101100 01100101 01100100 00100000 01001101 01100011 01001110 01100101 01100001 01101100
The message probably says, “Send more Chuck Berry”.
I’ll bet someone left their cell phone too near the recording equipment.
I tried, but failed, to find a link to an image of the last page of Oliver Jeffers’ “The Way Back Home” to insert here.
Videos of alien cats playing alien pianos.
The author of the story doesn’t know the difference between saying “outside our galaxy” and “outside our solar system.”
Jeez! That was you?
In the article, both outside and inside our galaxy scenarios were entertained. I didn’t see any confusion there, though “way outside our galaxy” seemed an odd phrase.
Not a retransmission of Adolf Hitler’s opening speech at the 1936 Summer Olympics?
Whoever calls this a blitzar is just crying wolf.
Or possibly:
010000100110010100100000011100110111010101110010011001
