One year ago today, Ken and Keli Chaffin, a father-daugther team from the US, sent me the correct decoding of the message designed for A Sign in Space. The solution required more than 3,000 hours work by Ken and Keli, and their interpretation efforts are ongoing. Thank you to everyone involved in the process, primarily Ken and Keli with whom I have the pleasure to share a regular exchange, the Discord community and all researchers who helped me craft the message. #asigninspace
Happy Birthday A Sign in Space! Two years ago the project simulated the reception of an extraterrestrial signal, exploring how humans would create meaning around an alien message. Cake by citizen scientist Gianfranco De Vito. #asigninspace

Erster Kontakt: Was wäre, wenn die Menschheit eine außerirdische Botschaft empfangen würde? Könnten wir sie überhaupt dekodieren? Genau dies hat das

A sign in Space : le message des aliens a enfin été décodé !

Une civilisation extraterrestre très avancée, peut-être sous forme de super-IA, a-t-elle décidé d'émettre pendant des millénaires, voire des millions d'années, des messages radio à destination d'autres civilisations dans la Voie lactée ? Si nous avions reçu un tel message sur Terre, que se passerait-il en tentant de le décoder ? C'est ce que cherchait à savoir depuis le 24 mai 2023 l'Institut Seti en simulant un premier contact avec des E.T. sous la forme d'un message livré à la sagacité des internautes. Ils viennent enfin de le décoder !

One year since receiving an "alien" message from space, and it's finally been revealed in its #cellular #automaton glory. The interpretation game goes on, but kudos to the father-and-daughter team that made sense of it all.

Decoding the Message from "A Sign in Space": A Year-Long Journey

  More than a year after launching the multidisciplinary art project "A Sign in Space," conceived by SETI Artist in Residence Daniela De Paulis, a father-daughter team has successfully decoded the message. On June 7, 2024, De Paulis received the decoded message from the duo, who requested to remain anonymous and will be referred to as "John" and "Sarah."

A Sign in Space encourages the public to imagine what a real message from extraterrestrials might be like—and figure out how to interpret it.

SETI: Simulierte Alien-Botschaft entdeckt, Entschlüsselung kann beginnen

Die Analyse einer simulierten Botschaft von Außerirdischen kommt voran. In den empfangenen Daten wurde das Signal entdeckt, nun geht es an die Entschlüsselung.

OK! Wrapping it up for today - the question is:

- am I really seeing something...
- ...leading to the question if this is part of the "project"...
- ...ore are these artifacts from my FFT settings...
- or simply just pareidolia? 🙂

But all in all, haven't had that much in a puzzle for a while.

A sign in Space, Part 4: First images!

So, after looking for detectable data with lot’s of Python for some time - with no obvious result - I thought I should look more into the spectral analysis. So I got me that GNU Radio Block to read the file after after some arguing with cmake over failed dependency checks, I whipped up a very very simple GNU Radio Graph which reads from the file and dumps it with no post-processing to a FFT Waterfall Sink:

I am now staring so hard at the FFT that I start seeing figures on the sidebands 😃 Perhaps it *is* so, perhaps these are artifacts of my FFT-settings.
