Hi Sue, That entire story is a fabrication and the hoax has been running for about a week now. Those responsible for the hoax are twisting their story from a SETI hit to 'secret NSA satellites'. I can't believe the BBC and MSNBC even paid attention to it. It is a very poor B-movie quality plot. Regards, Brian Wong bw@logis.com On Tue, 3 Nov 1998, Sue J.
