That makes an English message coded in 7-bit ASCI even more outrageous when you think of it. An English message coded in ASCI AND from 40K in the future? That would be like me sending you an urgent message recorded in Latin on a Edison wax cylinder by camel or something. It boggles the mind. It seems much more likely that this is the result of human activity in the 1980s. The story seems to indicate the transmission of the information was an accident which just seems to make it all the more improbable in my mind. A probe from the future lands in the forest and just by chance has the ability to transmit cryptic information in contemporary English to human minds using a contemporary computer protocol. There is something very, very, wrong with that picture. I am not saying that anyone is lying, I'm just saying its absolutely unrealistic and low on the probability list as an explanation for what is going on there.

It brings up the question. Did we possess the technology then (or now for that matter) to implant something like that in a person's head without their knowledge? Is that even possible psychologically? My gut feel is no, that the kind of conditioning that could produce such a result couldn't go unnoticed by the victim but I'm no expert.

[QUOTE="trainedobserver, post: 111229, member: 2192"] That makes an English message coded in 7-bit ASCI even more outrageous when you think of it.
