1 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: Welcome to Unexplained Extra with me Richard McClean smith. For 2 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: the weeks in between episodes, we look at the stories that, 3 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: for one reason or other, didn't make it into the show. 4 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 1: In last week's episode, The Final Flight, we looked at 5 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: the tragic story of Australian Training Corps pilot Fred Valentige 6 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: and his mysterious disappearance one evening in October nineteen seventy eight. 7 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: Fred had been attempting a solo flight across the Bass 8 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: Strait just to the south of Melbourne, Australia, when he 9 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: vanished without a trace. In a famous final communication between 10 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: Fred and air traffic control, it appeared that Fred was 11 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: being tracked by a large UFO just prior to his disappearance, if, 12 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: as some believe, Fred had in fact fabricated the event. 13 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: It has been suggested that the Australian release of Steven 14 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind in March of 15 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: that year may have served as a possible source of inspiration. 16 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: Yet only six months previously, something far more fantastical had 17 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 1: occurred that would no doubt have been noted by Fred, 18 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: a young man with a keen interest in UFOs and 19 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: the hunt for alien life. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence, 20 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: or SETTI, is the term given to humanity's collective attempts 21 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 1: to find signs of intelligent life in the universe. Of course, 22 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: we may always have looked to the night sky and 23 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: wondered whether or not we were alone, but it wasn't 24 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: until a remarkable discovery confirmed in eighteen eighty seven, that 25 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: we began to conceive of a way in which we 26 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: might actually begin to find out. In eighteen sixty four, 27 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: Scottish physicist James Maxwell proposed his groundbreaking theory that electricity, magnetism, 28 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: and light were in fact all manifestations of the same phenomenon. 29 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: His findings, published as a paper titled A Dynamical Theory 30 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: of the Electromagnetic Field, marked a paradigm shift in our 31 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: understanding of the laws of the universe, but also gave 32 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: us the means with which to listen to it. For 33 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: it was in Maxwell's understanding of electromagnetism that the concept 34 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: of radio waves themselves a type of electromagnetic radiation, was 35 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: first theorized. However, as is often the case, the maths 36 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: would predate the technology needed to prove the theory. By 37 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: some years. In the end, it wasn't until eighteen eighty seven, 38 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: Over twenty years later, the German physicist Heimrich Hurtz, working 39 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: in his lab at the Carl's Rue Institute in Germany, 40 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: generated the radio waves that finally proved Maxwell's theory to 41 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: be correct. Now, for the first time ever, we had 42 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: the ability to send and receive communications wirelessly overseemingly vast distances. 43 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: A decade later, Italian inventor and electrical engineer Guglielmo Marconi 44 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: would pioneer the first practical radio transmitters. Owing to Maxwell's 45 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: initial discovery, it was well understood that, since radio waves 46 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: were a form of electromagnetic radiation, the Earth should, in 47 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: theory be bombarded by signals from any number of celestial 48 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: sources throughout the universe. However, after the discovery of the 49 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: ionosphere in nineteen o two, most physicists assumed that any 50 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: radio transmissions from outside the atmosphere would be instantly deflected 51 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: back into space, and so it was in nineteen thirty 52 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: three when Carl Gutjanski, who was working for Bell Laboratories 53 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: in Hondell, New Jersey, made an extra dary discovery. Having 54 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: missed out to a T and T in the race 55 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: to build the first transatlantic telephone communications Bell Labs were 56 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: hoping to improve on the system with the use of 57 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: short radio waves. The only problem was trying to figure 58 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: out a way to stop the pesky static from interfering 59 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: with the transmissions. It was Jansky's job to try and 60 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: determine once and for all, just where exactly the static 61 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: was coming from. A short time later, he had his answer. 62 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: Sought of. Two sources were found to be coming from 63 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: either near by or far off thunderstorms, but the third 64 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: source was a steady, consistent hiss of unknown origin. The 65 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: hiss would rise and fall in a period approximating a 66 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: standard rotation of the Earth, so it seemed reasonable to 67 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: assume it was generated by the Sun. But curiously, the 68 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: signal seemed to repeat just four minutes, shy of twenty 69 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 1: four hours. What Jansky eventually discovered was that the signal 70 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: was not coming from the Sun at all. It was 71 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: coming from somewhere in the middle of the Milky Way. 72 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: Early in the twentieth century, a number of scientists, including 73 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: Nikola Tesla and Lord William Kelvin, had speculated on the 74 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: use of radio waves to contact lifeforms on other planets. 75 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: But it wasn't until astronomer Frank Drake's nineteen sixty project 76 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: Uzma that scientists took seriously the possibility that other civilizations 77 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: might in fact be trying to contact us, and may 78 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: have been doing so for quite some time. Drake's project 79 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: is widely considered the birth of the modern Setti movement 80 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: and inspired many others to pick up the mantle. But 81 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: such projects require inordinate amounts of ambition and money. Fortunately, 82 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: it was the nineteen sixties, and certainly in the case 83 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: of the United States, never before or since had so 84 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: much been invested in space exploration. It was a remarkably 85 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: complex decade for the young nation, in which a new 86 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: soul appeared to be awakening, embodied by the civil rights 87 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: movement and the social optimism of Jack Kennedy's government. It 88 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: was an optimism that grew in spite of less palatable agendas, 89 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: but ultimately one that could not drown out the sound 90 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: of distant bombs coming from the far East. It was 91 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: a nation, in one sense blossoming in color, but in another, 92 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: bleeding to death on the jungle floor of Vietnam, a 93 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: nation drafting disproportionately poor or black soldiers to fight in 94 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 1: unknown places, and yet at the same time a nation 95 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: inspiring the world as it stepped forth from the Apollo 96 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: eleven lunar module to plant a foot on the dusty 97 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: surface of the Moon. The space race may have begun 98 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: as a cynical and divisive battle to demonstrate economic primacy, 99 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: But as Neil Armstrong emerged from NASA's spacecraft on July 100 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: twenty first, nineteen sixty nine, what the world saw was 101 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: nothing but a human being alone in the vastness of space, 102 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: unfettered by politics or religion, his face and skin color 103 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: hidden under a hulking, cumbersome spacesuit. In that moment, no 104 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: country had ever before created an image of such profound symbolism, 105 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: a moment to obliterate what divides us, revealing instead that 106 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: above everything else, humanity was all of us. In that moment, 107 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: we were all Neil Armstrong, taking one small step for 108 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: humans and one giant leap for human kind. And then 109 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: almost overnight, the funding dried up. The installation of the 110 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: Nixon administration in nineteen sixty nine brought a raft of 111 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: ideological changes, many of which were at odds with the 112 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: scientific community. By nineteen seventy three, President Nixon had not 113 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: only abolished the post of Scientific Adviser, but also the 114 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: entire Office of Science and Technology. By the end of 115 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: the year, spending on non defense based research and development 116 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: had been reduced by a third. As a result, the 117 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: National Science Foundation was forced to make drastic cuts to 118 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: a number of research projects, including one particularly ambitious operation 119 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: that had been running out of Perkins Observatory at Ohio 120 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: State University since nineteen sixty five. Are you always taking 121 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: care of your family? Do you often take care of 122 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: others and not yourself.

That's teladoc dot com slash Unexplained podcast. The 137 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: project was the brainchild of American physicist John D. Krause, 138 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: who in nineteen fifty five proposed the modest plan to 139 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: conduct a radio survey of the entire universe. Two years later, 140 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: construction began on a structure of truly epic proportions, formed 141 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: of one flat tiltable reflector measuring three hundred and forty 142 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: feet by one hundred feet in height, a fixed curved 143 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: reflector measuring three hundred and sixty feet by seventy feet 144 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: in height, and a vast aluminium ground covering. By the 145 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: time it was completed five years later, the telescope covered 146 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: an area the size of three football fields. Fittingly, it 147 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: was given the name Big Ear. The telescope was turned 148 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: on in nineteen sixty five. Eight years later, Big Ear 149 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: had recorded seventy percent of the sky and picked up 150 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: over twenty thousand radio wave emitting objects, some of which 151 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: had come from the furthest reaches of the universe, with 152 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: a great number of them previously unknown signals. But in 153 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two, owing to the funding cuts, the United 154 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: States Congress voted to end the Ohio Sky Survey. Perversely, 155 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: the decision was a blessing in disguise for Setti, when 156 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: it was decided to instead use the enormous telescope to 157 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: focus solely on listening out for signs of alien life 158 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three. The telescope was then pitched specifically 159 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: at an area of the electromagnetic spectrum known as the 160 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: hydrogen line. The line refers to the wave frequency roughly 161 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: fourteen hundred and twenty megaherts of neutral hydrogen atoms, the 162 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: most abundant substance in space. In nineteen fifty nine, astrophysicists 163 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: Philip Morrison and Frank Drake reasoned that any advanced civilization 164 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: would recognize the hydrogen line as the best frequency band 165 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 1: to omit interstellar beacons, and so once it was set, 166 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: the telescope would remain scouring the universe with each rotation 167 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: of the Earth day after day, picking up the same 168 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: familiar signals, But then something extraordinary happened. On Monday, August 169 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: the fifteenth, nineteen seventy seven, forty seven year old SETTI 170 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: volunteer Jerry Emmon finished his last shift and locked up 171 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: the lab for the evening. Later that night, with Jerry 172 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: tucked up in bed, back at the lab, lights blinked 173 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: in the darkness and cooling fan's word as the printer, 174 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: with its relentless metallic rattling, spewed out the data minute 175 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: after minute, hour after hour. The familiar rhythms played out 176 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: as the telescope's signals were analyzed and processed before appearing 177 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: as alpha numeric code on the Sprocket fair paper. But then, 178 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: at approximately ten sixteen pm Eastern Standard time, something upset 179 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: the rhythm, an unusual signal that lasted no more than 180 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: seventy two seconds before it was gone. Seconds later, as 181 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: the lights continued to blink and the fans continued to hum, 182 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: the printer settled back into its familiar metallic rhythm. It 183 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: would be four days before Jerry would make it back 184 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: to the observatory to analyze the data. On August nineteenth, 185 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: just after dinner, Jerry made his way down to the 186 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: lab moments later, he found himself staring down at a 187 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: computer print out that was almost impossible to believe. The 188 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: data is printed in columns, with each of the first 189 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: fifty columns showing the intensity of a signal in relation 190 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: to specific bands of frequency. The intensity was recorded on 191 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: a scale of one to nine, with anything larger being 192 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: represented by letters of the alphabet in an ascending scale 193 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: from A to Z. Ordinarily, one would expect the redoubt 194 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: to display mainly blank spaces where no intensity is recorded, 195 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: or ones and twos for low intensity. But when Jerry 196 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: looked at the print out from ten sixteen pm on Monday, 197 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: August the fifteenth, his jaw dropped in a sea of blanks, ones, 198 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: and twos. Standing out by a mile was the sequence 199 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: six e q U J five. Without even thinking, Jerry 200 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: grabbed a red pen, circled the numbers, and scrawled the 201 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: word WOU in the margin. Not only had such a 202 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: sequence never been seen before, the letter U alone had 203 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: never before or been recorded by the telescope. The signal 204 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: was later discovered to be coming from the direction of 205 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: the constellation of Sagittarius, over two hundred like years away. 206 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: To this day, the origin of the signal remains a mystery. 207 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: As for Big Ear. In nineteen ninety eight, the radio 208 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: telescope was ordered to be dismantled by the landowners to 209 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: make way for a three hundred and eighty one LOTT 210 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: development and a nine hole golf course.
