Recently the British Ministry of Defence released to the National Archives the 7th batch of UFO Files.
Interestingly enough, one of those files featured an article originally published in the Weekly World News (September 15, 1998 Vol 19 No. 51) with a story about how NASA detected, intercepted, and decoded a mathematically-based distress signal from a purportedly doomed planetoid outside our own galaxy. Unfortunately, at the time the said article was published, in Weekly World News, it was not taken seriously because of that particular magazine's standing reputation of being a tabloid.
However, let us not forget that National Enquirer was first to publish news that former Senator John Edwards had an affair and fathered a child with his mistress. It can happen despite that, most of the time, stories published in tabloids are often made up or wrong with respect to the facts.
The signal was detected in January of 1998 but, however and as it might be expected, it took many months to properly decode the message.
Since the original article below is not available online, here it is transcribed:
NASA experts claim to have intercepted an intergalactic distress call from an alien civilization that had already peaked and was actually dying when saber-tooth tigers still roamed the earth.
The 80,000-year-old SOS was received and digitally recorded in late January 1998.
But only in recent weeks have radio astronomers and language experts found the key to the complex mathematics-based language that enabled them to translate the 'frantic plea for help'.
