SUBJECT: CRIPPLED STARSHIP SENDS DISTRESS SIGNAL TO EARTH ! FILE: UFO1144 BY MICHAEL TODD for WWN Startled scientists her on Earth have received a desperate SOS from an alien starship - sent more than 25,000 years ago! Experts in the United States and Russia are convinced the bizarre Mayday mes- sage came from a spacecraft attacked by a heavily armed enemy ship around 23,000 B.C., German physicist Franz-Herbert Mooser told a European scientific journal. This shocking transmission was intercepted by American scientists at an observ- tory in the jungles of Puerto Rico and by Russian scientists at a similar lis- tening post in Siberia, Dr. Mooser said. Although they deny this, the Russians and the Americans recorded the coded message on the same date - March 3, 1990 - and have spent years working to int- erpret it, said the astrophysicist, who was part of an international team of scientists that used special computers to translate the cry for help. The transmission apparently originated in or near M13, a cluster of stars on the outer edges of the Milky Way. From what we can determine, the message came from an unarmed passenger ship engaged in interplanetary travel, the scientist said. The crippled ship appar- ently radioed its distress call moments after being struck by missiles launch- ed from a passing warship from another planet. The message has been streaking its way toward Earth at the speed of light for the past 25,000 years and it just now reached us. But even if the message had reached us at the time they sent it, we would have been little help. Back then, Earthlings were still living in caves. ********************************************** * THE U.F.O. BBS - http://www.ufobbs.com/ufo * **********************************************
