   SUBJECT: E.T. FIRST CALLED EARTH IN 1921                     FILE: UFO1152   
      
      
      
   BY JOHN JUSTICE for SUN   
      
      
   E.T. first called Earth almost 100 years ago, experts believe.   
      
   The researchers believe extraterrestrials from as star system 11 light years   
   from Earth responded to the first message Guglielmo Marconi sent on his newly   
   invented wireless transmitter in 1899.   
      
   Morconi tapped out the letter "V" to colleagues 50 miles away, but scientists   
   believe aliens from the Epsilon Eridani star system also received the transm-   
   ission and replied.   
      
   The experts are relying on a series of strange events to prove their theory.   
      
   SPACE SIGNALS   
      
   In June, 1921, radio stations worldwide reported they were picking up weird   
   signals that seemed to come from a specific point in space. All the signals   
   were the same - Marconi's coded letter V. Twenty two years passed since the   
   signal was transmitted.   
      
   Two years after Marconi sent his letter V, he made history by sending the   
   first radio message across the Atlantic in December , 1901.   
      
   The message was the coded letter "S". Again, exactly 22 years later in 1924,   
   radio stations began picking up another strange signal from space.   
      
   This time it was Marconi's letter "S" that was beamed from space to receivers   
   around the globe.   
      
   Speculation as to the source of these mysterious signals was popular topic in   
   scientific circles at the time.   
      
   Many researchers began to wonder if an alien civilization was trying to start   
   a conversation with us.   
      
   Some dismissed the signals as a hoax but they couldn't explain how the alleged   
   practical jokers had managed to work together in more than 30 countries to   
   send imitations of Marconi's signals to hundreds of stations at the same time.   
      
   NEW MESSAGE ?   
      
   Open minded thinkers, however, saw something more in the events.   
      
   For instance, each of Marconi's transmissions was replied to 22 years later.   
   Could this mean that each signal had traveled for 11 years through space be-   
   fore an alien receiver picked it up?   
      
   And did the aliens respond with a message that took another 11 years to reach   
   us?   
      
   Experts think a possible destination for Marconi's messages - the star system   
   Epsilon Eridani, which is exactly 11 light years or roughly 60 trillion miles   
   from Earth.
