Copyrighted Radio Transmissions from Aliens


Abstract

K-2; the alleged alien base in the Plumas National Forest is branded
a hoax by default when the recorded radio transmission is found to be a
copy of a tape which was available in bookstores across the country.

From the moment I became aware of the Roswell case I have maintained
an ongoing interest in crashed ufos, direct contact, and abductions. I
tend to be more open to statements than some, taking an innocent until
proven guilty attitude, rather than the more adversarial "show me"
stance. ( I am not from Missouri ). This means I listen to everything.
I save everything. I cross index everything. But I challenge very
little. The jury remains out until something is produced which can
withstand the scientific method, or is good enough to go before a
courtroom judge. The result is a very large "wait and see" file, and
occasionally a solidly closed case.

My wait and see attitude combined with a healthy dose of dumb luck
has permitted me to move the K-2 report squarely from the wait and see
file into the closed section. Cross indexed under HOAX.

I have closely monitored the netmail concerning the K-2 report since
the story first broke in June. Direct e mail with the spokesman for the
Phoenix Project and conversations with other interested parties have
consumed a sizeable portion of my storage space. Yet I remained
unwilling to send the Phoenix Project the money it desired for an
original copy of the reports.

Conversations with David Brune led to an arrangement for him to send
me his copy of the K-2 report along with a copy of the taped radio
transmission which led the Phoenix Project to investigate the K-2 site
to begin with. I received the packet in early October and was surprised
to find the contents of the tape familiar to me.

It should be noted that the tape received from David is labeled K-2
Radio Transmission Monaural (58:20) and was associated with a
descriptive paper noting its origin having been recorded on June, 5,
1989 at 0200 PDT from shortwave frequency 16.222 Megahertz at
Forbestown, California. A note from the technical data states that
"Oscilloscope observation of the recorded signal reveals the presence
of pulsed digital information impressed on the predominant analog audio
signal components". It then goes on to say that "This digital data may
be encrypted".

This description of the K-2 radio transmission is inconsistent with
my own findings. The actual contents of the K-2 tape are a monaural
reproduction of a tape which I purchased several years ago from a local
bookstore. I am happy to say that after some digging in my garage I was
able to locate my STEREO commercial production tape, and that it is
still in good condition. My own tape is labeled ASTRAL SOUNDS and was
copyrighted 1973 by The American Research Team. The tape was
distributed under license by POTENTIALS UNLIMITED, INC. Potentials
Unlimited marketed a wide variety of self help/self hypnosis/subliminal
message tapes in the late eighties. Their products were available in
the big chain bookstores such as Waldons and B Daltons. The original
intent of the ASTRAL SOUNDS tape was to synchronized sound with brain
wave frequencies for some interesting effects during
listening/meditation.

Both tapes have been donated to Paranet for the listening pleasure of
serious researchers. If you have been considering purchasing ANYTHING
from the PHOENIX PROJECT. I strongly advise you to reconsider.
