@philiprosedale Do you have a link that elaborates on this idea?

@KTLA Dafuq. Even after reading the article it doesn't make sense.

SCIENTISTS DISCOVER KEY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PSYCHOPATHS AND NORMAL PEOPLE

They found that psychopaths have a 10% larger striatum - the brain region that craves rewards, risk, and chaos.

Bigger striatum = more impulsive, more thrill-seeking, and less chill.

It shows up in both men and women, meaning this isn’t just a “bad choices” thing - it’s brain wiring.

Basically, some people are neurologically built to chase the high, ignore the rules, and not lose sleep over it.

Nice, Russia financed the new open source game engine Nau, based on components from recently open sourced Dagor Engine (War Thunder): https://t.co/XbSZMqteyu

@elonmusk @xai AI is nowhere close enough to being able to handle the complexity of an entire OS and its programs.

I am not endorsing this. In fact I have not even read it carefully, just passing it on for feedback in case it’s not crazy.

I think so, given the other articles by the same author!

Love,

That is very well written for a signal processing nerd. Also -- boosting the frequencies -- ? Seems very star trek.
Anyway, weird.
DARPA?
But who knows.

Full article:

“We were never supposed to tell. But I’m tired of hiding.”This is probably the last thing I’ll ever publish online under my real name. My hands are shaking even as I type this. Maybe it’s guilt. Maybe it’s fear. Maybe both.I spent 11 years working inside NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I wasn’t some high-level director or anything. Just a systems engineer with security clearance and a curious mind. I worked on signal decoding systems, encryption protocols, and later, AI-driven pattern recognition for space data. Nothing glamorous.

But in May 2025, something landed on my desk that changed my life. Something… not from Earth.And what followed over the next six weeks was the greatest cover-up I’ve ever witnessed. Bigger than Roswell. Bigger than Area 51. This was contact — real contact — and they made us bury it. Now I’m breaking silence. Because I can’t sleep at night anymore.

The Signal That Shouldn’t Exist

On May 29th, 2025, we got an unusual alert from our Deep Space Listening Array in California. We track thousands of noise bursts every day — solar radiation, comets, satellite interference

— it’s mostly junk.But this one? This was tight-band, laser-precise, and coming from a fixed location: Proxima Centauri b.If you don’t know

— Proxima b is the closest Earth-like exoplanet we know of. About 4.2 light years away. We’ve always hoped it could have life, but we never got much from that direction.Until that day.A Message We Couldn’t Ignore

The signal came in pulses. First, we thought it was a repeating binary: 101101101…But then someone — a new guy in the AI team — ran it through our experimental semiotic decoder. That tool was built to recognize non-human symbolic logic. Basically, if aliens sent a “language” not based on sound or letters, this could help identify the patterns.The result?A perfect mathematical sequence. Then another. Then another.
It ended with a prime number set — 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 — repeated five times. That’s not a natural formation.

That’s a signature.When we layered the waveforms, we saw modulated harmonics embedded in the gaps. Like someone whispering between the beeps.We boosted the frequencies. That’s when we heard it.

A voice. Or what we think was a voice. Speaking in tones we couldn’t quite parse — not in English, not in anything human. But rhythmic. Deliberate. Alive.“ They’re Aware of Us”

We worked 72 hours straight.Multiple departments got pulled in. Linguists, codebreakers, even a couple people from DARPA who just showed up unannounced.

By June 2nd, we had enough to conclude this:
The signal was deliberate.

It was being sent repeatedly, once every 88 minutes.
It contained structured symbolic communication.
It was aimed directly at Earth.

That same day, my boss — who I won’t name — came into the lab and told us to stop everything.

“This has been elevated to Level 7 clearance. Effective immediately, all data is compartmentalized. No external communications. No logs. This is no longer under NASA jurisdiction.” He was sweating when he said it.I’d never seen him like that before.

The Meeting That Changed Everything

We had a closed-door meeting on June 4th. Only 14 people. Phones locked. No internet. Just one screen showing a waveform.A man from some agency I still don’t know the name of (he never introduced himself) stepped in and said:

“What you’re looking at is first contact. We’ve confirmed it through multiple arrays in Australia, India, and the European Space Agency. The signal is not terrestrial. It’s not a satellite. It’s not military. It’s intelligent.”We sat in silence.Then he said:

“There will be no announcement.”

Why They Decided to Stay Quiet

According to this man, the government had a protocol in place since the late 80s for something like this. It was called “Echo Directive.” Not public, not even available through FOIA. In case of confirmed contact, they would: Evaluate threat level based on signal content and behavior.

Monitor global social response to any leaks.

Delay disclosure indefinitely if risks to “national unity or economic stability” were determined to be high.
Guess what? The decision was made within 48 hours:

Don’t tell the public. Not because it was dangerous. But because it was too big. Too destabilizing.The message wasn’t hostile.

But it was clear. Here’s the closest translation we could get from the AI:

“We see you. You are close. We extend observation.

Contact is intentional. Approach is slow. Prepare for proximity.”

The Cover-Up
On June 6th, all remote telescope access was locked out. Private astronomers who picked up “anomalies” were contacted or — in some cases — silenced. One amateur in the UK uploaded a video of the Proxima b pulses on TikTok. It got 3 million views in 8 hours.Then the video disappeared. His account was banned. He posted on Reddit once after that, saying “they came to my house.” Then nothing.The few media outlets that started covering “strange radio bursts” suddenly dropped the story. I know — I tried sending tips anonymously. They never responded. Even the Reddit thread I started under a burner was removed in 5 minutes. It was like trying to shout into a void.

What You Need to Know Now

So here we are. It’s July 2025, and no one’s talking about it anymore. The public missed their chance. The news cycle moved on.But the signal? It hasn’t stopped. The pulses still come — quieter now, as if they know we’re ignoring them. And I can’t help but wonder what will happen if we keep pretending we didn’t hear. Maybe this was a test. Maybe they were watching how we’d react. And if the answer was fear and silence… what kind of message does that send back?

Why I’m Telling You This
I don’t want fame. I don’t want attention. I want truth. You don’t have to believe me. Honestly, part of me hopes you don’t. Because that means you’ll try to prove me wrong. And maybe, in doing that, you’ll start digging. Maybe you’ll find what I found.There are files still out there. Copies. Signals logged by amateurs, snapshots saved before the purge. Some of you already have them. I see you in the forums. Don’t stop. Don’t give up.We made contact. And we’re blowing it.

@philiprosedale Frankly I think it'd prove fruitful in the long term to rewrite the viewer with more current technologies rather than attempting to bolt on bits to an antique codebase. More modern frameworks would allow for easier customizations and flexibility such as these.
