NASA Is Preparing To Send A New Message To Aliens ["We're stupid, we're tasty, and this is where to find us."]
Anomalien.com On ^ | Mar 25, 2022

A group of scientists from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory believes that it is necessary to send a new message to representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations. This new message, called “Beacon in the Galaxy,” will be the “heir” of a radio signal that was sent back in 1974 from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.

Scientists from NASA have encrypted the following information in a new message for extraterrestrial intelligence:

Information about the biochemical composition of life on Earth. This information includes an image of the four building blocks of DNA – adenosine, cytidine, guanosine and thymidine.

A timeline that starts from the Big Bang to show exactly when the message was sent. The scientists also indicated the dates of the appearance of the main scientific achievements of mankind. Among them are Newton’s laws, Einstein’s theory of relativity, the beginning of space flights and the landing of a man on the moon.

Location of the solar system in the Milky Way, showing distances to known globular clusters. It is necessary that representatives of extraterrestrial civilization knew where to send the answer and how long to wait for feedback.

Digitized images of the solar system and the Earth’s surface.

Digitized images of people.

Presumably if they attacked us it would be because we had something that they wanted. Destroying the planet wouldn’t make much sense unless they saw us as an immediate threat.

No never read “The Killing Star”. Its so far out of print that the cheapest copy is $80

Rather Cixin Liu’s in print: “Three Body Problem”, “Dark Forest”, and “Death’s End” trilogy. And the fan wrap up “The Redemption of Time” by Bao Shu.

Dark Forest theory is not predicated on things someone else wants from us, rather on competition. One must eliminate competition without revealing one’s existence. Any competition for finite resources is an existential threat.

See here for a better explanation than I might give:
Dark Forest theory: A terrifying explanation of why we haven’t heard from aliens yet
The Fermi paradox asks us where all the aliens are if the cosmos should be filled with them. The Dark Forest theory says we should pray we never find them.

I still think this is like signaling to great white sharks by bleeding.

I have no problem with exploring. Sooner or later the sun will go unstable or we will be hit by a passing rock big enough to turn the planet to dust so we need to spread out among the stars but signaling is just not that bright.

We have no idea what is out there.

But chances are, it ain't friendly.

A truly advanced alien civilization would disguise themselves as “nature” or “background radiation”. Dumb homo sapiens would never know the difference.


Yes, they hide while they send a “seed” that travels for light years from a random direction. When it arrives it transoms the solar system into a 2-D object. Dumb homo sapiens would never know the difference as they cease to exist.

These leftwing woketardians, masquerading as scientists, are only “pissing in the wind” with their message.

Reminds me of a twilight zone episode a guy dug a well and dropped a pail in to see if he reached water yet and pulled it up and it was full of gems with a note send food.
One day his wife with him and she pushed him in the well she pulled the pail up it was full of more gems and a note send more chicken.

Exactly! If our people, as handsome as we are, are as angry and violent as we are by nature, can you imagine how angry and violent a bunch of butt ugly aliens who hate how they look will be? What if the aliens all looked like Maxine waters? Heaven help anyone that comes in contact with them then.

Part of the message: “Please be carbon neutral, gender fluid, and leave any toxic alienity at home.”
