Dear Reader
Tashi delek, thank you for visiting, welcome and I hope this finds you in peace and serenity
Looking at the records of that night, we can see their problem. If Eric and Andy were to report this new sighting they would have to do so to JÖRD, the current global space agency which oversees such matters, as well as being involved in space exploration and colonisation. An international consortium, it pulls expertise from all the nations which it comprises including valuable skills such as lunar flight, interplanetary travel and long spaceflight endurance techniques. It also includes many environmental organisations who aim to reverse deadly environmental chain reactions started in previous centuries.
Unfortunately, Eric had already encountered JÖRD when he reported what he thought was a new planet 20 years ago. It was JÖRD who made his life very difficult after his ‘discovery’.
We captured some of the conversation of this new sighting and have included it below:
“I can’t make the same mistake twice, Andy. I’ll be slaughtered.”
“Eric, we’ve both seen this. Our initial analysis concludes the possibility of an intelligent extra terrestrial entity. Who knows what its possible motives could be? It’s hiding behind things. It’s performing evasive manoeuvres to possibly ensure its survival. Survival for what?”
“Andy, I really appreciate your support, but you have no idea what I had to endure twenty years ago. The humiliation was crushing. We don’t know what this is. We get fed the dregs of images and data. This could be a complete anomaly. The data integrity could be so inferior we’re looking at reflections of other entities such as space stations or other planets whose images have sufficiently refracted their images to that part of space.
If we get this wrong we’ll both be finished, JÖRD will ensure that. I’m older and wiser. I can survive. You’ll be crucified. I can’t let that happen”
“Eric, the data is sound. We’ve checked it”
“How can we be sure Peggy has interpreted and represented her findings accurately?”
“If I may interject gentlemen” – the computer
Peggy is a super computer, whose neural networks allowed her to follow and contribute to a conversation.
“I have analysed and processed the data. The image representation is accurate to 99.99996%. The spectral analysis which has enabled its composition to be ascertained is accurate to within 4%. I would speculate, gentlemen we are indeed dealing with a tangible entity. As for its ability to display intelligence, I can offer no credible theory based on the data analysis. It would be pure speculation on my part.”
Andy spoke up “Peggy, in your opinion, should this discovery be reported?”
“Based on the latest protocols held in my memory, I would suggest it remiss of you both not to report it. Please also remember, this is JÖRD equipment and every action has been recorded and can be traced to you both. Although the daily usage downloads are not monitored avidly, if it transpires this is an important discovery, you will both be required to supply explanations. My databanks will be probed for any information I can supply, and eventually your conversation will be discovered.”
Andy and Eric looked at each other. They knew what had to be done.
“Peggy open JÖRD communication channel” Eric ordered.
The computer opened a channel via 3DVR. It Seems Eric and the JÖRD official, Sol are acquainted.
“What?” the mission controller, Sol demanded. “Oh it’s you Eric.” His tone softened. “we’re in the middle of a gravitational transfer here on one of our missions. This better be important. You’re not complaining about your assignment on Big Bear again are you?”
“Hi Sol. Look, I hate to disturb you but I think there could be something you may wish to investigate. To be honest Sol, me and Andy aren’t sure what it is. It displays a level of intelligence which doesn’t seem right. Here are the coordinates.”
Watching and listening to the conversation, we could see the JÖRD official was very surprised as he watched the time-lapse recorded 3D image. He could see a seemingly intelligent entity dodging objects in the Kuiper Belt, but remaining within what looked like a volume of space; while other Kuiper Belt objects moved randomly.
“Eric, are sure of your readings and data?”
“Sol, we’re sure as we can be that thing is out there. We don’t know why it’s there, or what it’s doing. We have no benchmark to explain what it is or whether its movement is correct. There’s been nothing like this before. It’s the first time anything like this has been seen.”
“You need to follow protocol. Do you wish to report a sighting?”
“Sol, you know what happened before. You were there.”
“I know Eric; but we have better technology now. I’m looking at this thing right now. All your data will back you up. I repeat, Big Bear Station 4, would you like to report a sighting?”
“Yes. Eric Carpenter and Andy Choo of Big Bear Station 4 would like to report a sighting and request JÖRD assistance with investigation.”
We can see this report starts off everything which has occurred. We will continue our investigations and update as we follow its progress.
Jeh Yong.
