The Hoax Heard 'Round the World
#7
What I appreciate the most as someone who enjoys creative writing, is the inferences offered through wording
without any actual evidence to prove what is written is true.

For example, Judy Faltskog is assumed to be a NASA astrophysicist and ergo, the general public's view of someone
who studies the nature of the heavenly bodies and their effects would be a narrative of scientific-leaning effusiveness.
What I mean is, what might be standardised commentary to an astrophysicist, may not be fully appreciated by a layman.

Hence in the movie 'Contact', Jodie Foster's character (Dr. Eleanor Arroway) drops in words that indicates a high level of
education in the scientific world of exploring the stars, but keeps the narrative simple enough for the audience to follow
and be entertained.
Miss Faltskog did the same.


Quote:Judy's last message was:

"...Several RAO´s (Radio Observatories) like Aricebo and others now in the US have gone
online, England is online, South Africa is online, Australia has been online since last night!
Russia is going online now, Germany is still in a discussion to go online, China is online. Holy
s..t! News travels fast. Gonna unplug this freaken fone, I cannot get any work done..." (posted
about 6pm UK time)..."

The last sentence in brackets is interesting, 'UK time'...? Was that part of Ms Faltskog's post or Ninurta including the
time shown in the post generated by the ATS member? If the former and the quote is taken straight from Faltskog's
comment, it may indicate where this alleged NASA astronomer was based at that time.

Also the word 'fone'... a British slang-word used by a young person for a telephone.
...........................................................................


Quote:"..."Heck this is as abnormal Naturally and Naturally Intelligent as it comes. Better than the
"Wow" signal and then to top it all in the deep Ultraviolet Frequency. No wonder no one found
anything before, they were looking in the wrong Frequency range.”..."

'Heck' a north-east England and Scottish word of exclamation, a bastardised version of 'Hell'.
What I took from these couple of examples is that the person who was narrating this bizarre unregulated outburst was
British -probably someone from the northern regions of the country, and was aiming to excite a listener with a terminology
steeped in their own lifestyle more than one of an academic and scholarly background.

However, such an initial perusal would mean little to what lay ahead!
