Signals from Saturn

[nerdgineer]

Not little green men, but recent signals picked up from Saturn by NASA sort of sounds like it might be. Scientists think the signals come from Saturn's version of the Aurora Borealis. The recordings were processed (including time compression) to make up those sounds. Whole story is here.

Sort of cool and goosebumpy sound... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Spooky...sounds like a good sound to play on Halloween. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Sounded like a blast from the past to me. Late 50's early 60's Monster/space thingy movie. WOW how did they know way back then what they would sound like???

Whoa Dude I just had a flashback. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
It sounds like something from a early Pink Floyd album.

Very interesting. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

Set the controls for the heart of the Sun.........

Pink Floyd got that from the Late 50's early 60's Monster/space thingy movies.

Topper,
I am a huge fan of the 50's Sci-Fi. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hmmm...

Sounds to me like the aliens on Saturn were watching a movie. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I hope the signal is not from a BORG subspace transponder. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Don't be silly. Our radio equipment won't pick up subspace siganls. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif

Ummmm.... I can't figure out any other way to say it..... Is this a hoax????

 

[nerdgineer]

Dunno, UncleFester, the NASA link in the first post explaining it looked pretty legit to me...

Hasnt saturn emitted x rays like every 45 minutes on clock work like for a few years now? Its my understanding we lost one of out older diesel powered ufos there. They use several 6 71 engines to create the field necessary to pull the world around them and its range is rather limited to planet hopping.

I've heard about "whistlers" in the VLF radio frequency range on earth (below 500khz) but I've never heard them. I wonder if these are similar.

 

[Zelandeth]

Okay, now that is wierd...cool, but wierd. It actually *sounds* like it's come from another planet...which it has.

Very cool.

 

[PhotonWrangler]

Found a good source of earth-based VLF whistlers . Another good source of more complex ones is here.

They originate from lightning strikes and the descending whistles are the result of dispersion over long distances. Dispersion causes the highest frequencies to arrive first and the lowest ones last, so the result is an eerie descending whistle.

nasa accidentally downloaded the soundtrack from "mission to mars? riaa is suing them for their illegal download!

 

[evanlocc]

Should it be more!? May be our frequency just not right!

 

[Luxman]

The sounds remind me of the 50's movie "Forbidden Planet".. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Maybe its from the same planet, but a different dimension?
