What happens to stray TV signals?

[MsEVP]

Do you ever wonder what becomes of old radio and TV programs that are sent out into space 24/7? Do they just fade out and vanish, or do they keep travelling thru space forever, perhaps to be picked up by creatures on other planets or galaxies? It is true that scientific listening posts around the world have captured on tape some very unusual sounds from distant space that might be from some sort of intelligence somewhere.

In the early days of TV some sets retained a picture long after the program was over and occasionally another channel`s picture would appear for a few seconds. But, back in September 1953, something happened in Britain that has never been explained to this day.

Many TV screens all over the country suddenly carried the identification card and call letters of TV station KLEE from Houston, Texas, thousands of miles away. The image stayed on screen long enough for some viewers to take pictures of the remarkable occurrence. TV usually fades out after about 150 miles unless helped along with electronic devices and relay stations. In 1953 this wasn`t possible. What really startled the TV world was the fact that when the BBC engineers contacted KLEE in Texas they were told that the station had been off the air for 3 years! And no identification card had been shown.

Where had the picture been for 3 years?

Makes you think, doesn`t it?

About 40 light years from planet earth.the beings will be watching Minnie Caldwell Ena Sharples and Martha Longhurst sitting in't select down at the Rovers. They will be on their 4th milk stout and will have to go home as the toilet door leads directly into Albert Tatlock's front room.Annie will be moaning about the brewery having put beer up to 1and 9pence a pint (8p).Nothing much changed there then. Then the adverts come on it's You wonder were the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.

You don`t mean Roy Thinnes?

I remember the Invaders, of course, was just a baby then!

[monkeyeyes]

The 'Thermians' come to Earth to persuade the heroes of the 'historical documents' which have found their way through the vast distances of space to intervene in a little local difficulty which they are experiencing in their part of the galaxy.

The 'historical documents' are the broadcasts of the TV programme 'Galaxy Quest' where the signals have continued to travel through space.............
