Supressing ETI signals from radioastronomical observations

"We will do with ETI signals what we did with UFOs, that is, to deploy stories and to use relevant data at times when we deem it convenient for our interests. If we can conceal our ASAT tests behind a curtain of allegedly ETI signals, we will do it; we will seed into culture the idea that there is one or two radio sources out there that are clearly artificial and nonterrestrial, while at the same time we will keep on deploying our space-based weapons. ETI signals will be used as a cover story for our SDI clandestine tests, much as we did with UFO stories in the past"

You can easily imagine the global catastrophe that would imply for our civilization. That scenario is called 'space Pearl Harbor'"

The hypothetical deployment of the means of destruction or interference of various physical natures, threatening spacecraft operations (foremost, that of early warning satellites) may in a crisis situation lead to a high level of strategic instability, encouraging reliance on a preemptive nuclear strike."

Actually, we can design damn good fake signals that to all effects look as coming from outside Earth, and having all the features you would expect from an ETI signal. It is just a matter of we making public statements about our own amazement with this scientific 'finding', and there you are: people talking about aliens, instead of talking about our secret space program, which is the point we want to be."

"... the signal was highly resistant to distortions, it was repetitive, and was easily detected using autocorrelation algorithms; the signal consisted of narrow band pulses. When we applied algorithms to characterize the signal further, we discovered signal corruption was negligible, which means the signal was not traversing any interstellar medium, which basically means... it was coming from within our own solar system..."

"Look, satellites are delicate, fragile devices that can easily fall prey to any number of space weapons that currently exist. There are lasers, radio frequency jamming, brute force weapons, and surface-to-space missiles with kinetic kill vehicles, weapons that are mostly relatively small, mobile systems. Now, a moon-based weapon is less vulnerable to those attacks, so it is of the outmost interest to us to have a permanent facility on the Moon, and to be the first ones to have it."

Our interest is that, as long as this announcement serves to cover up our defense activities in space, it must be facilitated somehow. We desperately need the world to discover these signals in order we can proceed with our testing of next generation ASAT weapons. In other words, we need ETI signals for ACUTE, DOLYN, and DENIED as much as we needed UFOs to conceal our U2 program. Get it?"

In our view, that's the best possible scenario for us to openly carry out our space-weapons tests. Each time someone detects our signals we can tell him he just detected an ETI signal. Yes, let's move from weather balloons to meteosats. That's a game we know how to win"
