I just received a rather remarkable phone call from Bob Oechsler, MUFON
investigator from Annapolis, MD, who also has his own nationally broadcast UFO
radio talk show. Bob asked me to upload the following information.
On Tuesday March 14, 1989 at 6:42 am the following message was received by a
UFO investigator in Baltimore through WA3NAN (Goddard) amateur radio
transission from the orbiter Discovery. "Houston, this is Discovery. We
still have the alien space craft, uhh, under observance." The transmission
was picked up on a Radio Shack scanner tuned to 147.45 mhz.
According to Bob, he and his colleagues have found that the transmission
matches up with NASA tapes except that there is a "blank space" in the tape
where the above transmission occurred. (Possibly bleached out?) They are
currently doing voice print analyis in an effort to match the specific voice
with one of the astronauts. They will compare to voices of all of the
astronauts recorded during the Today Show interview. They should know "for
sure" in about a week.
Bob would very much appreciate it if anyone who may be able to corroborate
this transmission would call him at 301-798-1503. About 15 minutes prior to
the transmission there was a broadcast about "a fire on board". There is
speculation that this may have been a code to switch frequencies or to stop
feed to the public domain. He would this also like to hear if anyone can
corroborate anything about a "fire."jerry@qvax2.UUCP (Jerry Gardner @ex2561) (04/01/89)

This was probably some amateur radio operator's prank. A large number of hams have the capability of transmitting in the two-meter band (144-148 MHz) and someone could easily have transmitted the "alien" message over the top of WA3NAN. -- Jerry Gardner, NJ6A Qantel Business Systems, Hayward, CA UUCP: ...{hplabs,pacbell,ihnp4}!qantel!qvax2!jerry Disclaimer?
