About this episode

On January 1st 1981, a government research project known as The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) received a transmission in the form of a heated particle beam. The broadcast was targeted as having its origin somewhere in the distant constellation of Cassiopeia.For many years scientists struggled to understand the order and pattern structure behind these seemingly random pulse waves. None of their research unveiled an answer as to the true nature if the phenomenon.In 1996 an insurance representative in Pennsylvania named Shraun Wilshjark accidentally discovered that if the numeric value of these pulse characters could be interpreted as a long series of "Ones and Zeros", perhaps it would generate the code for a long piece of digital media................ultimately it did. The translation of this cross-dimensional message took the shape of what appears to be a public access cooking show.After 25 years of top level secrecy, the resulting video has been released to the public.
