The report claims that the 80,000 year old signal was first detected back in 1998, but NASA scientists have only recently been able to decipher its meaning.<\/p>\n<p>The report quotes &#8220;noted Russian space scientist Dr. Viktor Kulakov&#8221; who it claims is leading a United Nations research team that is investigating the message. In the report, Dr Kulakov claims that the alien civilization most likely destroyed itself.<\/p>\n<p>Supposedly, the report is a transcript of an official NASA press release. However, the report is nothing more than fanciful and poorly crafted fiction.<\/p>\n<p>NASA has \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"NASA - Latest News Releases\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/news\/releases\/latest\/index.html#.Upu4j2QW0Yw\">not issued any press release<\/a> \u00a0about such an intergalactic distress call. Nor are there any credible news or media reports about such a message. Of course, if true, such a monumental &#8220;first contact&#8221; message would be dominating news outlets all over the planet. The world&#8217;s news media would be in a collective frenzy, with every possible angle reported on and endlessly discussed and debated.<\/p>\n<p>The absence of any real news about the supposed message is enough alone to dismiss the story as nonsense. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9162856233\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p> Moreover, while the circulating report claims to be new, \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"Distress signal from dying Planet decoded...British Files with info\" href=\"http:\/\/www.abovetopsecret.com\/forum\/thread675075\/pg1\">versions of the very same story<\/a> \u00a0have been circulating since at least 2011. Thus, it seems that the website responsible for publishing the latest version has \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"NASA received an SOS call from another galaxy, 'Help us'?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.disclose.tv\/forum\/nasa-received-an-sos-call-from-another-galaxy-help-us-t47368.html\">simply recycled an old lie<\/a> \u00a0and presented it as current.<\/p>\n<p>And, &#8220;Dr. Viktor Kulakov&#8221; is neither a noted Russian space scientist nor is he in charge of any United Nations research group. A &#8220;Viktor Kulakov&#8221; was a high-ranking military leader in the former Soviet Union, but he was not a space scientist. He died in May 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the absurd message even gets its figures wrong. \u00a0 Scientists estimate that the Andromeda galaxy is around \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"Distance to Andromeda\" href=\"http:\/\/www.universetoday.com\/30716\/distance-to-andromeda\/\">2.54 million light-years away<\/a>. Thus, it would take any message from that region of space vastly longer than 80,000 years to get to us.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, while Andromeda is the \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"Andromeda galaxy is Milky Way's next-door neighbor\" href=\"http:\/\/earthsky.org\/clusters-nebulae-galaxies\/andromeda-galaxy-closest-spiral-to-milky-way\">closest \u00a0<em>major<\/em> \u00a0galaxy<\/a> \u00a0to our own, several minor galaxies are considerably nearer.  \u00a0According to NASA, the \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"The Nearest Galaxies - About the Image\" href=\"http:\/\/heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov\/docs\/cosmic\/nearest_galaxy_info.html\">distinction of nearest galaxy<\/a> \u00a0belongs to the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, which is a mere 25,000 light years away.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, while the story may be vaguely entertaining, it carries not a grain of truth.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/no-nasa-not-intercept-intergalactic-distress-call-1998\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/no-nasa-not-intercept-intergalactic-distress-call-1998\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This story was first published on December 2nd, 2013 Outline Circulating report claims that NASA detected a distress call from another galaxy back in 1998 but has only recently been able to decipher the message. \u00a0 Brief Analysis The claims in the message are fanciful nonsense.
