National Security Agency · 2 pages · text from the file's own layer

This unclassified National Security Agency article by Dr. Howard H. Campaigne, date unknown, follows a piece by Lambros D. Callimahos in the NSA Technical Journal, Vol. XI, No. 1, on extraterrestrial intelligence. It presents a series of radio messages said to have been heard from outer space. Their repeated units are transcribed as letters of the alphabet. Offered as puzzles to test the reader's ingenuity, the numbered messages appear to build up counting and arithmetic step by step. The text reports no UFO sightings.

Extraterrestrial Communications
In the most recent issue of the NSA Technical Journal- Vol. XI, No. 1-
Mr. Lambros D. Callimahos discussed cert.ain aspects of extraterrestrial
intelligence and included seueral messages to test the reader's ingenuity.
In the following IJ011f!S, Dr. H. H. Campaigne offers additional commu-
nications from outer space.
Recently a series of radio messages was heard coming from outer
space. The transmission was not continuous but was cut by pauses
into pieces which could be taken as units, for they were repeated over
and over again. The pauses show here as punctuation. The various
combinations have been represented by letters of the alphabet, so that
the messages can be written down. Each message except the first is
given here only once. The serial number of the message has been
supplied for each reference.
