German researcher Hartwig Hausdorf has claimed that information coming back from the Voyager 2 probe, is coming back in a completely different format from what should be expected and could be due to extraterrestrial life. Hausdorf stated, “It seems almost as if someone had reprogrammed or hijacked the probe – thus perhaps we do not yet know the whole truth…”
Sent out on a 4 year mission with it’s sister probe Voyager 1 in 1977 the probe is currently around 92 Astronomical Units from the sun – 1 AU is equal to 149,597,871 kilometers and has visited more planets than any other spacecraft.
NASA said that Voyager 2 suddenly began transmitting data back in a different format. Scientists have had trouble interpreting the data but have put it down to a glitch in the onboard systems. Apart from this incident, the on-board computer is said to be working completely fine.
Project scientist Ed Stone said the most likely cause of the hiccup is a “bit flip”, where parts of a stream of data are improperly formatted.
Hausdorf is a prominent science fiction writer.

well, we all saw it turn into “veejer” in the original star trek movie!
I just went into a remote viewing trance and I saw that there is hostile aliens reprogramming the data to prevent us from finding out what’s really going on out there.
The sky is filled with good and bad mortals never know ….
Omg, omg, omg we’re all gonna die…
…again -.-
Must be aliens cause computers never break do they.
Hmmm sounds like something that happened in Contact (film starring Jodie Foster)!
Is it me or, does the guy on the left look a bit like david tennant and the man on the right a bit like someones dad….*sniggers*
I feel a new book coming up from this Hausdorf .. then his option might be read by tons of lovers of that type of stuff. And who knows .. it might become more truthfull one day as well, just as many other things in SF books.
What if extraterrestial life read some stuff in our pc’s up there and misunderstood its contents .. … Universal war?
I love the tin foiled hats, I feel they may have started a new fashion trend

What a load of nonsense. It’s just a corrupt memory bit in program memory, these things happen when you put electronics into space, it’s amazing really given the extreme hostility of the environment that this hasn’t happened sooner.

The guy on the left looks like he’s been kidnapped and told to play along.
wao… the dream of ‘War of the Wporlds’ coming true. I shall make friendship with Aliens… ha…ha..ha..
Hausdorf needs to get off the shroom tea.
Everyones closed minded views in this comments section makes me laugh, well not everyones but a fews!
Maybe not a life form ‘tinkering’ with the probe but hey, who’s to say it’s not some cosmic energy being trasmited from elsewhere interupting? I’m not a nut, but a physics student. Who’s to say what’s out there.
Keep an open mind.
