Chapter 184: Jupiter SOS 1994

Facing the camera, Jiang Zhe smiled and explained:

"Yes, as you all guessed, the key to this question is: humanity does not necessarily live on the surface; true long-term stability lies underground."

"Therefore, even if there are alien civilizations in the universe, they will most likely be underground on their planets. This statement may not be entirely correct, but at the very least, it is a correct line of thinking."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered a relatively famous major event from the last century.

"Right, perhaps you should have heard of it—"

"In 1994, in the last century, millions of people witnessed a cosmic event unprecedented in human history!"

"That was the [Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet, abbreviated as SL9], which collided with the largest planet in the Solar System—Jupiter."

"The specific time was roughly over the course of five-plus days, from 4:15 on July 17, 1994, to 8:12 on the 22nd."

"The 20-plus fragments of the SL9 comet crashed into Jupiter one after another, which was equivalent to having 2 billion atomic bombs explode continuously over Jupiter in over 130 hours, releasing energy equivalent to the explosion of about 40 trillion tons of TNT high explosives."

Hearing this, the live stream chat room immediately became abuzz.

"I know, I know, I was only eight years old at the time, I had a TV at home, and I watched that program."

"The Great Jupiter Impact event; I was in my twenties then, and I heard it was almost the end of the world!"

"Right, if that comet hadn't been destroyed near Jupiter, we on Earth would have been in trouble."

"..."

Clearly, many elderly viewers found the event as thrilling and vivid as if it were yesterday.

That was an unforgettable major event, even more intense than the 2012 apocalypse rumors. It was a massive comet that nearly struck Earth, a comet capable of rivaling the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Upon hearing this, inside the Astronomical Research Institute, Director Wu looked surprised. "I know about this. I was at this institute at the time, and my subordinates and I personally led a team to observe this Great Jupiter Impact event; many radio signals were coming from both sides of Jupiter back then."

Xiao Gang, who was standing nearby, asked with a surprised look: "Radio signals? Boss, are you sure it was radio signals?"

Director Wu explained with a serious expression: "This is considered an unsolved mystery, similar to the disappearance of the golden satellite, and is a major astronomical event that humanity cannot fully analyze; because I am also not sure if those radio signals were real or fake."

Like Director Wu, there were also astronomers in the lecture hall.

Many of them had studied the SL9 comet impact on Jupiter day and night.

Professor Hua Yunfeng looked at the side of the audience that was too quiet and asked: "I know about this major event, but why have you all on the astronomy panel stopped talking?"

As he finished speaking, the old, middle-aged, and young experts on the astronomy side looked up, smiled reluctantly, and someone began to explain.

"This event was quite a sensation at the time, but it wasn't actually a possibility for destroying the Earth; I had calculated back then that this SL9 would be captured by Jupiter."

"Right, I was there too, and what Jiang Zhe meant by the comet hitting Earth wasn't this SL9 comet, but that two locations on Jupiter were sending radio signals to Earth."

"..."

The astronomers were talking all at once.

Making Professor Hua Yunfeng and Old Feng even more curious.

"Radio signals were transmitted from Jupiter to Earth, Old Feng, did you know about that?"

"I knew, but I was young at the time, in university, and I only heard it from my professor then; so I didn't research it."

"Aliens?"

"Yeah, there were rumors that it was an alien signal; but Jupiter is a gas giant, how could there be aliens there?"

"Well, I don't know!"

Without waiting for them to continue asking, Jiang Zhe in the video continued his explanation:

"At the critical moment when the SL9 comet was hitting Jupiter, Earth unexpectedly and continuously received mysterious signals from Jupiter."

"The United States space agency at the time was the first to receive radio signals from the direction of Jupiter, and then NASA's space monitoring stations distributed around the world also received these radio signals from Jupiter."

"From the first day the comet violently struck Jupiter, this radio signal from Jupiter's outer ionosphere was emitted once every 1 hour, 16 minutes, and 35 seconds, lasting 13 seconds each time."

"Such large-scale, regular, and repeatedly recurring space radio signals had never been encountered in the history of space monitoring by the United States space agency, which was the most advanced in astronomy at the time."

"Therefore, this matter attracted great attention from experts in the United States, and they began to believe that there must be some kind of [activity possibility] similar to a super-civilization on Jupiter."

"This activity possibility could be a probe from a super-civilization spaceship, or it could be a signal transmitter from some alien civilization."

Facing the camera, Jiang Zhe posed a question: "Perhaps you all think that the signal transmitter might have come from humans?"

This sentence immediately caused countless people in the audience to nod, as they were thinking the same thing.

But unfortunately, in the next second, Jiang Zhe shook his head and refuted: "That is not the case; it was not a human satellite. The incident occurred in 1994, and the United States' [Pioneer 10] only flew past Jupiter on December 3, 1973, to bring back the first set of images of Jupiter, so it had nothing to do with that kind of super-civilization electromagnetic signal source."

"At that time, NASA experts used the most advanced computer sensors to track and monitor the radio signal source coming from the direction of Jupiter."

"It was finally confirmed and accurately determined that these radio signals, similar to the human SOS, definitely came from Jupiter, and from Jupiter's outer ionosphere!"

"At that time, NASA experts in the United States were all stunned; they couldn't believe it—why would Jupiter's ionosphere emit an SOS distress signal?"

"So those experts worked day and night to conduct digital simulation analysis on these radio signals from Jupiter."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhe's expression suddenly became serious:

"Finally, they were highly, if not 90% to 99%, certain and confirmed—this was indeed an SOS radio signal sent from Jupiter."

"Decryption experts deciphered this SOS radio message, and after decryption, they learned—the content was: Earth is in danger of being destroyed by a comet impact, and Earth needs to prepare in advance."

"At the same time, the space outside Jupiter's ionosphere also emitted an SOS emergency distress signal. After in-depth research, the experts suddenly realized—this signal was actually not sent to us surface humans, but to the inner-earth race inside our Earth."

"Those aliens warned the inner-earth race that danger might be coming, and they also sent an SOS emergency distress alarm to the inner-earth race."

"Afterwards, as the comet impact on Jupiter event faded, those signal sources also disappeared; what did the disappearance mean? Naturally, it meant that the source that possessed the ability to transmit the signal had been destroyed."

"Destroyed by what?"

"Destroyed by the comet!"

After saying this, Jiang Zhe paused for a moment, giving people time to react.

Following this series of analyses, countless experts and the public were once again plunged into deep thought.

At the beginning in 1994, NASA was actually keeping it a secret from the public, no; or rather, national observatories that had sufficient astronomical technology at the time were all keeping it a secret from the public.

It wasn't until 2017 that NASA released this news, along with a series of decrypted codes of the [humanoid activity signal sources] from Jupiter's outer ionosphere.

Regardless of whether NASA was intentionally making things up—saying that an inner-earth race exists—that series of signals was indeed calling for help to Earth civilization; this is beyond doubt.

In the live stream chat room, some astronomy enthusiasts even knew that this event was just as weird and bizarre as the Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport UFO incident.

It seemed as if all kinds of signs indicated that aliens had long appeared on Earth, yet humans had never witnessed the alien miracle.

I don't know how much time passed, but the barrage in the live stream chat room surged like a tide.
