Atomic TV: colours from space by Halbe Specifika Silent video signals of unknown origin are continuing to override regular TV broadcasts in many federal states throughout Europe for 1 hour every week. Although the precise airtime of the moving images is irregular, government scientists studying this strange phenomenon are now convinced these television pictures are the "product of an extraterrestrial intelligence." But what are they, exactly? Parliamentary debates, fiction entertainments, a fractal variant of the Mandelbrot set, or coded messages intended for weirder sight organs that human eyes? Media artiste Leith Saucejockey has proclaimed the images are by alien arachnids showing off their gaudy rainbow-hued webs. This, after observing that earthly spiders have taken to copying these designs while neglecting their usual fly-catching duties. Are evil spiders from outer space planning to attack our planet? A man from Mattocks Clodbury in Wessex has recently grown a green moustache, and he blames gamma rays from his TV set for this hairy problem. Did radiation from the "atomic TV" signals turn this poor man's facial hair into grass? Disturbingly, a side effect of the transmission is hypnotic, and this has been linked to instances of race memory recall in children. A boy of 8 from the Wessex town of Lower Lesser Little Blathering is only 1 of dozens of young fans who videotape the strange alien signals in order to watch them repeatedly. Under recent psych tests, Danny Boyd-Winchester, and several other British children demonstrated astounding feats of longterm prehistorical memory by describing, in unprecedented detail, what everyday tribal life was really like for many primitive humans in the African heartland. Have these alien transmissions inadvertently unlocked the deep dark secret of mankind's origin? This much is clear - these odd images are having a refocusing effect on the activities of SETI groups in the global scientific community. New xenobiology and astrophysical think-tanks are now reviewing their options. |
