NASA's Voyager 2 spaceship 'hijacked by aliens'
Pasadena - NASA's Voyager 2, which is touring the outer reaches of our galaxy, suddenly began to send back messages to Earth that scientists cannot interpret. A German researcher believes those sounds may come from aliens.
Launched in 1977, the Voyager 2 was propelled into "... the solar system's final frontier, a vast, turbulent expanse where the Sun's influence ends and the solar wind crashes into the thin gas between stars," said NASA. It was May 24, 2005 and NASA was excited about the capacity it had through Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to explore space. Project scientist Dr. Edward Stone, who helped build the Voyager crowed,
"Voyager has entered the final lap on its race to the edge of interstellar space, as it begins exploring the solar system's final frontier."
Both Voyagers 1 and 2 are identical, but each is allowing scientists to learn more about different parts of our solar system. Both also carry what NASA calls a Golden Record on board. The record is
"... a kind of time capsule, intended to communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials. The Voyager message is carried by a phonograph record-a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth."
Since its launch, Voyager 2 has been sending streams of data back to Earth for study by scientists, but on April 22, 2010, that stream of information suddenly changed. NASA said diagnostics appear to show a problem with the flight data system, and engineers are optimistic that a software patch will solve the glitch. Dr. Stone said
"Voyager 2's initial mission was a four-year journey to Saturn, but it is still returning data 33 years later. It has already given us remarkable views of Uranus and Neptune, planets we had never seen close-up before. We will know soon what it will take for it to continue its epic journey of discovery."
During its 33 years of service, NASA said the Voyager 2
"... has visited more planets than any other spacecraft, swinging by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune ... With a somewhat lower speed than Voyager 1, it is about eighty percent as far from the Sun."
In an effort to fix what NASA calls a "glitch," Voyager 2 has been given instructions to transmit only information about the status of the spacecraft while scientists continue to analyze the problem. All NASA has said of the glitch is that Voyager 2 suddenly began transmitting data in a completely different format, according to Spaceflight Now, who interviewed Dr. Stone. The spacecraft is said to be completely fine, and the on-board computer also is thought to be functioning properly, aside from the glitch in the transmission of data.
However, the glitch has prompted speculation. German researcher Hartwig Hausdorf has chalked up the problem to aliens. To be specific, he posits that the Voyager 2 was hijacked by aliens. According to Bild.com, Hausdorf said
"It seems almost as if someone had reprogrammed or hijacked the probe – thus perhaps we do not yet know the whole truth…”
Bild writer Attila Albert speculated that the Golden Record might have attracted the aliens.
NASA is not confirming that there is anything special about the transmission it received on April 22. -
sounds plausible
-
what format was it?
JPEG?
HTML?
-
lol aliens.... what a scam indeed
-
why would such a scenario be impossible? to cause such a cynical outburst?
-
it saw something it shpuldnt have....so the aliens are trying to scramble the data being sent back to earth.
-
there are thousand possibilities....voyager 2 is just too far to retrive so all speculatives

send badzmario,john connor and the marines in to investigate and take pictures of missing cheeseburger in voyager 2 glove compartment.

Ha ha ha ......You could look at it in 2 perspectives....
1st ....this little fellow has been travelling for the last 33 years and suddenly data is unreadable....there is a space virus...
2nd....this little fellow has been disturbing the Peace for the last 33 years so some alien civilization decided they had enough "SO SHUT THE FUCK UP" decided to shut it down....he he he........

Credit to the scientist and engineer that design Voyager 2 as they know how to get this thing going for a long time....
Voyager 2 has 3000bytes of memory.....as compare to my laptop is over 2 gigs...... 2,000,000,000 bytes....
That is like atari or apple 2E.....compare to xbox....

Please note Voyager 2 passes thru the Termination Shock (TS) in 2007. It is now in a region what astrophysics call --------- Heliosheath.....
Voyager 2 is expected to remain in Heliosheath for 10 years or more...so it won't reach Heliopause till 2017.
The heliosphere is a bubble in space produced by the solar wind. Although electrically neutral atoms from interstellar space can penetrate this bubble, virtually all of the material in the heliosphere emanates from the Sun itself.
The precise distance to, and shape of, the heliopause is still uncertain. Interplanetary spacecraft such as Pioneer 10 and 11 and Voyager 1 and 2 are traveling outward through the solar system and will eventually pass through the heliopause.
Voyager 2 has a plamas instrument that measured the plamas flow within the heliosheath.

hope the scientists can unravel quickly what the aliens are telling us

the impact of plasma radiation could impact the hardware and distorted the signal. -

does that mean i may never find my Mrs Milo? -
Voyager 2 is still returning data about its health status. Obviously it had encountered something it should not have.
-
the biggerest mystery and i understand why they said there was a possible hecked because it was soft data that they received and unable to decode. These are programs so it should not have been altered.
Do you remember watching Star Trek movies where aliens added technology on Voyager and it return to planet Earth.......that was a classic.

die liao its going to be like Command Conquer 3. Alien throw Tiberium onto earth

one of the biggest joke ever~~
hijacked by who?
Aliens, predators, transfomers?
