Arecibo code (and POSSIBLE reply)

Recommended Posts

Has anyone heard about the Arecibo code,sent from the arecibo observatory in November 1974.Just a thread about this,

I've also seen the (possible) response  Arecibo-Response-Binary-305x270.jpg this is a "decoded" version.It seems to have similarities to KSP (solar system,Race and (not visible in this image) the tracking station) Although (sadly) most probably a hoax.

Who cares about the source? The so called reply is 100% fake! There is no reply and nearly guaranteed there won't ever be one.

The original signal was send as a binary sequence. At the same time the same sequence was given to various scientists and mathematicians without further instructions. NONE of them even came close to deciphering it.
And besides the unlikelihood of any extraterrestrial intelligence being able to decode the message it was send at the M13 star cluster, probably the least favourable target as it is 25000 light years away.

Here you go...

Not even the usual suspects like Hoagland etc. are willing to entertain the possibility that the message is genuine.
