The Week in UFO Phenomenon: The NSA Files

It had been my intent to do one of these diaries only once a week and maybe I can adopt that schedule when the government stops releasing interesting information.

Coming on the heels of

recent stories regarding the FBIand the CIA disclosing or making more widely known files regarding UFO phenomenon the National Security Agency has made some of their files available to the public.

The files here are absolutely mind blowing. Bona fide real deal NSA website

However there is a couple of examples that made me put out an addition of the round up early.
Document titled Extraterrestrial Intelligence

I’m going to transcribe from the document.

Recently a series of radio messages was heard coming from outer space. The transmission was not continuous but was cut by pauses into pieces which could be taken as units, for they were repeated over and over again. The pauses show here as punctuation. The various combinations have been represented by letters of the alphabet, so that the messages can be written down. Each message except the fist is given here only once. The serial number of the messages supplied for each reference

This NSA documents goes on to break down in abundant detail the mathematical foundations of decoding the message. Link to the math and the messages

My ability to analyze technical papers is limited, but from my limited perspective here is what these two documents just said.

A radio signal was received that was mathematical in nature that gave the receiver (us) the ability to decode, and the message was the periodic table of elements.

There are files in there describing to the Joint Chiefs of Staff mind you An Iranian incidentThey discuss how the normal mind might react to the phenomenon

I'm wondering if the two technical documents linked and described above was some exercise for code breakers or something, however the way this information is laid out is at least interesting.
