suggested that intelligent signals were coming from the distant stars of Epsilon Eridani and Tau Ceti. both of which are about eleven light years away. He based his calculations on his erroneous assumption that the signals were sporadic (they are constant) and were only received every twenty-two years, thus taking eleven years to go out and another eleven to be returned. If the true nature of the central phenomenon is electromagnetic, and if the earth is constantly being bathed in rays or beams of energy under intelligent direction, then these manifestations are hardly surprising. These signals could have existed long before we developed the devices necessary to intercept them. Once we had the necessary equipment, the source of the signals adjusted the frequencies so. we could heat them. It - or they - are also able to play havoc with our communications at will... and there is evidence that this is happening. During the ghostflier wave over northern Europe in the 1930s, isolated people in Norway and Sweden picked up enigmatic broadcasts on their shortwave sets, purportedly the ufonauts chattering back and forth over the airwaves, often in broken Swedish. The Scandinavian press speculated that Germany or the Soviet Union might be responsible for the broadcasts, but so evidence of this ever came to light. In countless modern UFO eases witnesses have claimed they received strange guttural voices and dot-and-dash signals on car radios, TV sets, and telephones while flying saucers hovered over- head. Citizens' Band (CB) radios also have a habit of picking up these signals in flap areas. On many occasions these voices and sounds hav'e been emitted by loudspeakers which were turned off or weren't even connected. A loudspeaker consists of an electromagnet which vibrates a cone of paper or stiff cloth. When the cone vibrates, it naturally vibrates the air and produces audible sound waves. Theoretically, a beam of electromagnetic energy on a very low frequency (VXF) could activate the magnet. In January 1954, people throughout the Midwest allegedly heard a strange voice coming from turned -off radios. The voice stated in a dull monotone: 'I wish no one to be afraid, although I speak from space. But if you do not stop preparations for war, you will be destroyed.* Sven stranger, the same kind of message delivered by the same kind of voice was supposedly picked up by the equipment at London airport that month. George Hunt Williamson, an anthropologist, claimed he was present when an amateur radio operator established contact with another world in the summer of 1952. Here's Williamson's a nee a tee This test was of such a nature that if the messages were a hoax, they would have been revealed as such immediately... He sent a question over his transmitter [to the space people], and he re- ceived an answer. Without any warning he quickly switched to 160 meters and asked another question. To his surprise an answer was soon forthcoming! Any radioman knows that no power on Earth would have enabled any operator to know where he was account of that experiment:
