NASA Scientists Shocked.
Mars Radios Europa!

Mars sends radio signals to Jupiter

Top Secret Photos Show NASA Knew About
Jupiter Receiver in 1979

Signal in unbreakable code

On Saturday evening, August 9, 1997, JPL scientists and their NSAa51 monitors declared the Pathfinder mission a success. Preparing to power down Sojourner and limit it to daylight only missions, NASA personnel were shocked to detect radio transmissions from Monolith 2 to somewhere in the vicinity of Jupiter.

Transmissions detected during power down phase

The rock Monolith 2, suspected of being a transmitter

The first nocturnal signal, evidently broadcast from a transmitter hidden in the Martian rock Monolith 2, was detected Thursday evening, when Pathfinder was supposed to be powered down. A unnamed JPL communications analyst accidentally left the Pathfinder receiver set to a low frequency and discovered the signals when she returned from her coffee break.

JPL scientists were still confused as to the transmission's target until NASA officials released previously classified images of Europa from the 1979 Voyager probe. Although the pictures were fuzzy, they appeared to show a third rock, identical to Monoliths 1 & 2, that NASA scientists already suspected was a radio receiver. (top)

Long-buried evidence reveals existence of receiver near Europa

In an amazing admission, NASA and NSAa51 officials admitted that in 1979, Voyager made radio contact in space with a previously unidentified object in orbit around the Jupiter moon, Europa. Photos of the Jovian receiver remained buried in Area 51 archives for almost 18 years. The object is almost identical to Monoliths 1 and 2, which makes the Martian monolith the prime candidate for a transmitter.

Is this asteroid really a radio beacon in space?

When the 1979 and Galileo photo were compared to the photos from Pathfinder, JPL scientists pressed to release all information to the public, but the more startling findings were buried along with revelations about Monolith 2.

The secret photos lent further fuel to the current controversy over the existence of life on Europa, which is even beginning to receive the support of such notables as NASA cofounder Robert Jastrow and current administrator Dan Goldin. The controversy began to rage this summer, even as Pathfinder was broadcasting its own startling findings, as Galileo. (Top)

Signal’s meaning has experts stumped

The nature of the signal is even more puzzling to NASA and security bureaucracy specialists. When Goldin was informed that the code was "monary," or nothing more than a series of zeros repeatedly endlessly at random cycles, he was shocked by the news. "How do you interpret zeros?" he is supposed to have yelled at JPLís Pathfinder project scientist Matthew Golembeck, who delivered the news in a scrambled phone call.

"Everyone at Area 51, Houston, and Pasadena went on covert alert," said my source, who has been out of communication for more than a week while my equipment was mysteriously down. "Every trace of extra terrestrial life we found to date has been arguable. This is not only the smoking gun, we can see the bullets firing."

The best guess of the JPL communications staff at this point is that the Martio-Europans, as the so far unsighted aliens have been named, have a fractalized language and can perceive "shades of zero" that are undetectable to humans. (The original name suggested for the aliens had been "Euro-Martians," but the moniker was rejected as too trendy and possibly misleading). (top)
