Einstein, Tesla, Edison, and Marconi on Radio Signals from Aliens

Article by Alejandro Rojas                            June 3, 2020                             (denofgeek.com)

• Tesla and Marconi, the renowned scientists who invented the radio, believed they had received contact from intelligent extraterrestrial beings. This subject is at the center of Amazon Prime’s drama, The Vast of Night, where a switchboard operator and a DJ in a small town in the 1950s discover a strange, potentially alien, audio signal that leads them on a wild investigation to find the origins of the signal.

• The famous inventor, Nikola Tesla, is often credited with the invention of the radio. Tesla claimed he received strange signals while experimenting with radio at his lab in Colorado Springs in 1899. He told Collier’s Weekly that he was alone in his lab at night when there was present “something mysterious, not to say supernatural”. “[S]ome time afterward… the thought flashed upon my mind that the disturbances I had observed (on the radio) might be due to an intelligent control,” said Tesla. “Although I could not decipher their meaning, it was impossible for me to think of them as having been entirely accidental. The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another.”

• The Collier’s article goes on to argue that despite whether the signal was from aliens or not (Tesla suspected it was Martians) the technology he was working on would have the potential to be used to communicate distances as vast as those between the planets in our solar system.

• Another pioneer in the invention of the radio is the Italian inventor, Guglielmo Marconi. In 1920, Marconi wrote, “I have encountered during my experiments with wireless telegraphy [a] most amazing phenomenon,” wrote Marconi. “Most striking of all is receipt by me personally of signals which I believe originated in the space beyond our planet. I believe it is entirely possible that these signals may have been sent by the inhabitants of other planets to the inhabitants of Earth.” “Linking of the science of astronomy with that of electricity may bring about almost anything.”

• The famous inventor, Thomas Edison, agreed with Marconi. “I can plainly see that the mysterious wireless interruptions experience by Mr. Marconi’s operators may be good grounds for the theory that inhabitants of other planets are trying to signal us,” said Edison. “Mr. Marconi is quite right in stating that this is entirely within the realm of possible.” Edison continued, “If we are to accept the theory of Mr. Marconi that these signals are being sent out by inhabitants of other planets, we must at once accept with it the theory of their advanced development.” “It would be stupid of us to assume that we have the corner on all the intelligence in the universe.”

• Tesla also weighed in on Marconi’s suggestion that we might be able to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations on other planets, saying, “Marconi’s idea of communicating with the other planets is the greatest and most fascinating problem confronting the human imagination today.” Then Tesla related a similar story of his own: “One day my ear caught what seemed to be regular signals. I knew they could not have been produced upon Earth. The possibility that they came from Mars occurred to me…”

• Even Albert Einstein reflected on his fellow scientists’ theories. “There is every reason to believe that Mars and other planets are inhabited,” said Einstein. “Why should the Earth be the only planet supporting human life? It is not singular in any other respect. But if intelligent creatures do exist, as we may assume they do elsewhere in the universe, I should not expect them to try to communicate with the Earth by wireless [radio]. Light rays, the direction of which can be controlled much more easily, would more probably be the first method attempted.” Nevertheless, radio waves became the predominant method used to search for alien signals.

• In 1924, the U.S. Secretary of the Navy felt that the close approach of Mars would be an opportune time to listen in for signals from Martians. He sent out a telegram asking radio stations to listen in. After all, some of the biggest brains in the business thought it was possible.

 

A switchboard operator and a DJ in a small town in the 1950s discover a strange, potentially alien, audio signal that leads them on a wild investigation to find the origins of the signal. This is the plot for The Vast of Night, which is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Could our first contact with aliens be as simple as a radio signal from aliens saying, “Hi?” The renowned scientists who invented the radio believed they received precisely that early in their experiments. Today, scientists spend millions to listen in on radio signals from space hoping to hear that first transmission from an extraterrestrial civilization.

                          Nikola Tesla

A complicated debate rages as to who first invented the radio. On the U.S. side is Nikola Tesla, the

     Guglielmo Marconi

famous inventor who is the namesake for Elon Musk’s Tesla electric vehicle company. Representing the Europeans is Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi. They both were pioneers in developing radio communication. For our purposes, it doesn’t matter who you feel should get credit for inventing radio communication, because both of them claimed to have possibly received radio signals from aliens.

The first was Tesla. In an article titled “Talking with the Planets” for Collier’s Weekly in 1901, Tesla claimed he received strange signals while experimenting with radio at his lab in Colorado Springs in 1899.

“Even now, at times, I can vividly recall the incident, and see my apparatus as though it were actually before me,” wrote Tesla. “My first observations positively terrified me, as there was present in them something mysterious, not to say supernatural, and I was alone in my laboratory at night; but at that time the idea of these disturbances being intelligently controlled signals did not yet present itself to me.”

           Albert Einstein

“It was some time afterward when the thought flashed upon my mind that the disturbances I had observed might

         Thomas Edison

be due to an intelligent control,” Tesla continued. “Although I could not decipher their meaning, it was impossible for me to think of them as having been entirely accidental. The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another.”

The article goes on to argue that despite whether the signal was from aliens or not (Tesla suspected it would likely be Martians) the technology he was working on would have the potential to be used to communicate distances as vast as those between the panels in our solar system. This may have been the first time anyone used the “I am not saying it’s aliens, but…” line. Which was pretty bold at the time, especially given that earlier in the article, he noted skeptics questioned whether two-way radio communication was possible.

Marconi shared his alien signal encounter in an article in 1920.

“I have encountered during my experiments with wireless telegraphy [a] most amazing phenomenon,” wrote Marconi. “Most striking of all is receipt by me personally of signals which I believe originated in the space beyond our planet. I believe it is entirely possible that these signals may have been sent by the inhabitants of other planets to the inhabitants of earth.”

Dalnegorsk Incident: ‘Best Documented UFO Crash in History’

by Matthew Kirkham                      January 1, 2019                      (express.co.uk)

• Mainly due to its size, Russia has had more UFO sightings than any other nation. The most compelling Russian/USSR UFO case is known as the Dalnegorsk Incident, where over 100 people witnessed the event.

• On January 29, 1986, at almost 8pm, in a small mining town in the far southeast of the Soviet Union called Dalnegorsk (just above North Korea), the town folk witnessed a reddish sphere silently passing over the town before crashing into the nearby Izvestkovaya Mountain. It was near-perfectly round and three meters (almost 10 feet) in diameter, with no projections or cavities.

• Eyewitness, V. Kandakov, estimated the speed of the UFO at 15 metres per hour (ie: very slowly). The object slowly ascended and descended, and its reddish glow would heat up every time it rose up. On its approach to the Izvestkovaya Mountain, the object “jerked”, and fell down like a rock.

• According to a scientist on the Amazon Prime documentary, “The Secret KGB Files”, “It was a small probe. It was not kind of a big object.” Notably, the crash sparked adverse affects in blood, a decrease in leukocyte count, and an increase in bacteria in the nearby towns folk. Scientists believe the reason was the ultra-high temperatures impact on the soil, and radiation of unknown nature.

• Two years after the incident, the Dalnegorsk area saw unusually high UFO activity. In five administrative districts of Primorye there were 33 registered objects in just one day alone, having different forms – cigar-shaped, cylindrical, spherical – and all moved absolutely silently.

 

Russia has had more UFO sightings than any other nation. One reason for the multitude of UFO cases is that Russian borders surround the largest land mass in the world. Of the reported UFO sightings, the most compelling case is known as the Dalnegorsk Incident. Here is a look back at the remarkable 1986 Dalnegorsk Crash, an incident that resonates powerfully with what allegedly occurred at Roswell in 1947.

This internationally famous UFO incident took place in 1986, on January 29, at 7.55 pm and according to a documentary is the “best documented crash”.

That cold January day, a reddish sphere flew into the a small mining town from in the Far East of Russia the southeastern direction, crossing part of Dalnegorsk before crashing at the Izvestkovaya Mountain – also known as Height or Hill 611, because of its size.

The object flew noiselessly, and parallel to the ground; it was approximately three metres in diameter, of a near-perfect round shape, with no projections or cavities, its colour similar to that of burning stainless steel.

One eyewitness, V. Kandakov, said that the speed of the UFO was close to 15 metres per hour.

The object slowly ascended and descended, and its glow would heat up every time it rose up.

On its approach to Hill 611 the object “jerked”, and fell down like a rock.

How Soviet Union Achieved ‘Great Success’ With Paranormal Warfare

by Matthew Kirkham                   December 31, 2018                    (express.co.uk)

• An Amazon Prime documentary, “The Secret KGB Files”, reveals that the Soviet Union took UFOs seriously during the Cold War, and even claimed to know how to “summon” and make contact with UFOs.

• As in the United States, reports of UFO sightings were treated in the Soviet Union as non-science, or fiction not worthy of attention from serious scientist for many years. But behind the scenes, under Nikita Khrushchev, great paranormal success was achieved in the Soviet Union including the building of the first bio generator machines to alter human minds.

• The documentary claims that beginning in 1917 and continuing until 2003, the Soviets poured up to $1billion into developing mind-controlling weaponry to compete with similar programs in the United States, which the Soviets called psychotronics. But Americans were “worried about Soviet research programs because they believed “the Soviet Union was there to conquer and to overtake the United States”. It also claims that the Kremlin hoped investigating reports of alien spacecraft could advance aeronautical design.

[Editor’s Note]  During the Cold War, both the Soviet Union and the United States were much more advanced in mind control and psychotronics than any mainstream documentary will reveal. Insiders have learned that the US and the USSR very often worked together, and the Cold War was just an excuse to build up their respective militaries to covertly fund their mind control and secret space programs.

 

The Soviet Union took UFOs seriously with the KGB and the Soviet Defence Ministry dedicating units collecting and analysing information about paranormal activity, a bombshell documentary has revealed.

Military experts even claimed to know how to “summon” UFOs and make contact with them during the height of the Cold War. For many years, reports of UFO sightings were treated in the Soviet Union as non-science, or fiction not worthy of attention from serious scientist In Amazon Prime’s “The Secret KGB Files”, the documentary reveals that under Nikita Khrushchev, great success had been achieved in the Soviet Union with the paranormal. Some of the first bio generators and machines to alter human minds came to the scene.

The narrator explains that the Americans were “worried about Soviet research programmes because they knew that the Soviet Union would not use it for peaceful means”.

They believed “the Soviet Union was there to conquer and to overtake the United States”.

It is claimed that the Kremlin hoped investigating reports of alien spacecraft could advance aeronautical design.

One reason for the multitude of UFO cases is that Russian borders surround the largest land mass in the world.
