IT left Earth 33 years ago, now it's claimed the Voyager 2 spacecraft may have been hijacked by aliens after sending back data messages NASA scientists can't decode.
NASA installed a 12-inch disk containing music and greetings in 55 languages in case intelligent extraterrestrial life ever found it.
But now the spacecraft is sending back what sounds like an answer: Signals in an unknown data format!
The best scientific minds have so far not been able to decipher the strange information – is it a secret message?
Alien expert Hartwig Hausdorf said:"It seems almost as if someone had reprogrammed or hijacked the probe – thus perhaps we do not yet know the whole truth" Read more in Bild
Engineers are working to solve the data transmissions from the Voyager 2 spacecraft near the edge of the solar system, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said today.
The spacecraft late last month began sending science data 8.6 billion miles to Earth in a changed format that mission managers could not decode.
Engineers have since instructed Voyager 2 to only transmit data on its own health and status while they work on the problem.
Launched in 1977, Voyager 2 and its twin, Voyager 1, explored the giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune and kept on going. Nearly 33 years later, they are the most distant human-made objects.
Voyager 1 is 10.5 billion miles from Earth and in about five years is expected to pass through the heliosphere, a bubble the sun creates around the solar system, and enter interstellar space.
Voyager 2 will follow after that.

LOL, inter-galactic Nigerians!
An expert is someone who’s been abducted on an alien spacecraft and managed to avoid the anal probing.
“K-L-A-A-T-U...B-A-R-A-D-A...N-I-K-T-O...”
“Think about the TV signals of Carter just reaching other systems. Some alien species probably thinks we would be push overs for an invasion with a leader like Carter.”
I understand that most of our radio waves are stopped by the Sun’s heliosphere and turned into noise.
That’s actually very comforting to me. The odds are very, very great that any life form that is dominant enough to respond is very hostile.
I mean, just think if mohammedons conquer the Earth. How would mohmmedons be to weak aliens? They’d kill them and enslave them just like they do to everyone.
What you are telling me the science shows I watch on TV that talk about aliens watching earth TV boradcasts are BS?
Some people are desperate to explain our origin in terms that include a superior species, rather than an omnipotent God.
Data corruption, why that couldn’t be it. It just couldn’t! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
I agree.
Red Dwarf ping!
You sure find some interesting pics!
Amazed they got away with the placement of that rocket past censors of the day.
I bought an Akai R2R when in Korea in '66 .. at the PX.
I lost it in the drug haze of returning to CONUS.
Darn — too many Trekkers here... I was gonna say, this HAD to happen. Watch Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It’s V’Ger! But like 50 people beat me to it.... Great minds clearly think alike. :-)
There’s plenty of proof that would stand up in court.
Particularly with regard to Ike meeting with them 2 different times.
VGER wants to join with the Creator ....
Nigerian 419 scammers kan be veri nasti ...
V’Ger= Intergalactic 419 Scammer?
Maybe these aliens will make a not too friendly visit in 2012!!!
