...appears to be
completely benign in nature.

:50:02
Let me say that again.
The message is completely benign.

:50:06
The President has contacted
the world's heads of state...

:50:10
...and every security measure
is being taken.

:50:13
To better explain the events
of the last 48 hours...

:50:16
...is the leader of the scientific team
that made this remarkable discovery...

:50:20
...Dr. David Drumlin, special
Science Advisor to the President.

:50:32
Thank you, Rachel.
:50:33
Hello.
:50:36
In 1936
a very faint television signal...

:50:39
...transmitted the opening ceremonies
of the Olympic Games as a show...

:50:43
...of German superior technology.
:50:46
That signal left Earth at the speed
of light and 26 years later....

:50:51
...arrived in the vicinity
of the star we call Vega.

:50:55
That signal has been sent back to us
hugely amplified...

:50:59
...an unmistakable sign of intelligence.
:51:02
Kent, go ahead.
:51:04
The Adolf transmission used 25 frames
per second but we're receiving 50.

:51:08
So we put the other 25
through search algorithms.

:51:12
We found a series of markers
on the top of each frame.

:51:14
- Are you ready?
- Yeah, go ahead!

:51:16
Send it, Willie.
:51:18
Here it comes.
:51:22
It's digital...
:51:24
...massive amounts of data which
extend right to the higher harmonics.

:51:28
Jackpot!
:51:31
All right, as you'll see...
:51:33
...interlaced with the frames
of the original Hitler image...

:51:37
...we found these sections.
:51:39
We thought they were noise,
but they're actually data...

:51:43
...huge amounts of it.
:51:44
When we combine this with the data
from the original signal...

:51:49
...we get these encrypted pages of text.
:51:52
No two are alike and
we've uncovered over 10,000 already.

:51:56
What does it mean, Doctor?
:51:59
We have no idea.
It could be anything.
