The 2016 signal incident
Managing the narrative of ETI contact
"We need to get ready for the day in which today's nonrepeating, narrowband events become repeating, as that would signal the beginning of ETI contact"

"Are astronauts really perceived as having been sent by mankind or are they perceived as sent by the respective countries? I guess the general perception is that when Armstrong stepped on the Moon he did it as an American, not as the representative of mankind. On the other hand, no one of the flags planted on the moon represent mankind. By the same token, we will refuse to take any ETI object as representative of the entire extraterrestrial civilization they are purported to represent."

"Astronomers around the world were astonished in 2016 as a consequence of the revelation of a Russian radio telescope having detected a strong signal of unknown origin, coming from the direction of the star HD164595, a sun-like star in Hercules constellation. Although it was originally detected in May 2015, Russian researchers first report about such signal was not until August 2016 (more than a year afterwards). Such a signal’s strength was consistent with something extraterrestrial, although many researchers hesitated to put any weight on that discovery, mainly due to the fact that this strong signal could not be replicated in the above forty scans that passed over that star. Furthermore, the signal’s frequency was the same band as that allocated to Russian military use and this State later recognized the signal having been originated from one of his secret military satellite not yet registered into the catalog of celestial bodies"

"the direction from which it arrives and the frequency at which it was broadcasted. Furthermore, the strength of the arriving signal and its detailed characteristics will tell us much about the technological capabilities of the broadcasters, and the frequency dispersion caused by its passage through interstellar space will provide a good indication of the distance it has travelled."
W granig luven, wyrzeng lamarckiego wyrmih keyd evolve hontig jóhen niz wyrzeng darwinowski wyrmih, hónten ze hine do greden wyrfreyych smóder nać creftig potomstwo:
"efforts should be made by SV17q to find out whether the object arrived at the solar system on purpose or by accident. Depending on the outcome of these investigations, appropriate steps should be taken as mentioned."

"that particular day we got excited with a narrowband, slowly modulated signal of sustained duration, and a stable amplitude. The signal didn't match the characteristics of known, interfering signals of terrestrial or solar system origin, and we were getting more and more frenzied when we realized the signal would repeat when follow-up observations of the relevant sky positions were performed."

"we spent next two weeks checking for noise in the receiver electronics, characterizing thermal noise, checking for cosmic-ray induced events, and hardware failures. Nothing was found. We then proceeded to search for terrestrial RFI sources, sources of Earth orbit RFI, and possible sources from interplanetary spacecrafts. They were all ruled out as the origin of the signal. We then looked for natural, extrinsic modulation of narrowband astrophysical sources ruling out interstellar radio scintillation and gravitational lensing, and we also performed checks to rule out natural, extrinsic modulation of the ETI signal. By the end of the third week, we were totally convinced the signal was genuinely artificial and nonterrestrial, so we initiated the SOP informing upper level echelon of our finding."

"Given that the scintilliation is so strong, and given that the strength of the DENIED signal varies from observation to observation, and it does vary in a manner consistent with the exponential distribution, and provided the observations were separated by more than a scintillation time, can your team confirm the signal is an ETI signal? How confident is your team about an ETI origin?"

"But then they idea is clear: in case astronomers detect an ETI signal we are to sit and see how far they can go with their analyses. The moment we feel they are approaching truth, we need to come forward with an explanation along the lines that the signal is not from an extraterrestrial intelligence, but from one of our military satellites. We should explain that the signal comes from one of our secret missile warning satellites, in HEO orbit around Earth, at about 40,000 kms at apogee, and that the satellite is not registered into the catalog of celestial bodies, which caused the confussion. This, naturally, must be accompanied by the standard actions you know (— paying a visit to the key astronomers, having a chat with them about cutting down funding for their projects if they keep on being weary and nosy, some harassment here and there, and so on)"
