How can you be an "expert" on something that no one can prove exists?
And by the way, this is what Voyager - which now refers to itself as "V'ger" - looks like now...

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.
Cool, we can exchange recipes!

Most likely radiation has damaged either a pathway or a chip in the encoding / sterilization stream.
Jupiter’s southern stripe is missing as well.
I sense a conspiracy!
Oh, and it's travelling over 37,000 MPH.
Space is big.
Yes it is.
Those monoliths are getting to work on Jupiter.
I TOAST THEREFORE I AM....
Launched in 1977 and it’s still not out of the solar system.
Oh, and it’s travelling over 37,000 MPH.
Space is big.
Yes it is.
God is bigger.
That poor kitty!
Much of it is. yep.

For English, send a one. For ... and we turned off the phone. Seems reasonable. I do the same at home.

Meh! I think Jupiter’s just having it’s every billion year Monolith Convention...nothing to see. They come, enlighten some proto-civilization, cause a lot of havoc and then don’t even clean up after themselves..space going liberals!
There is a monolith on the Mars’ moon Phobos. Buzz Aldrin says so!
