| 2025 | "Venus Anomaly Helix" | User:ExampleContributor | A3-B2-C3-D2-E2-F1-G5-H1-I2-J2-K2-L3-M1-N1 |
Detection: During a data-mining contest held by an educational nonprofit, a student's AI assistant flagged an anomaly in archived telemetry data from a decades-old orbiter mission to Venus. The anomaly structurally resembled a stylized helix embedded physically as an energy oscillation pattern within the waveform of the orbiter’s original communication signal. || Interpretation: The pattern contained minimal decipherable content from a human perspective and no contextual clues, was of very short duration, and was later judged to be probably unintentionally emitted. || Understanding: Later investigation of the pattern’s characteristics suggested a synthetic, non-biological source: possibly a byproduct of a passing technological artifact. The apparent absence of any harmful interference or neutrally disruptive effects led to a probably benign assessment. || AI anomaly, Venus, benign contact | |||
| 2025 | "Infrared Glyph Shadows" | User:ExampleContributor | A4-B4-C3-D2-E1-F1-G7-H6-I1-J2-K2-L2-M1-N2 |
Detection: A nationwide consortium of news networks thriving on yellow journalism spotted a pattern of angular shadows within a star-forming region of the Milky Way... || Interpretation: The configuration implied both physical presence and symbolic intent... || Understanding: Later modeling of the occlusions indicated a synthetic, non-biological source... || Media analysis, Milky Way, neutral | |||
| 2025 | "Network Hijack" | User:ExampleContributor | A1-B3-C1-D2-E2-F2-G8-H2-I2-J1-K1-L2-M3-N3 |
Detection: A space agency's commercial operations division detected systematic interference patterns in key deep-space communication satellites... || Interpretation: The received signals contained rich data structures with apparent intentional design... || Understanding: Later analysis of the signals indicated a biological-synthetic origin... || Hijacked network, biological-synthetic, malevolent | |||
| 2025 | "Lunar Embryo Formation" | User:ExampleContributor | A5-B8-C2-D1-E2-F1-G3-H4-I1-J1-K2-L1-M2-N2 |
Detection: A multinational lunar governance consortium discovered a small rock assemblage in a crater basin forming two figures... || Interpretation: The formation's depictions, along with the electric field disturbance reacting to the rover, yielded little interpretable content... || Understanding: Later trace organic analysis of the rocks suggested prolonged exposure to foreign biological matter... || Lunar anomaly, ancient contact, neutral | |||
| 2025 | "Low-Orbit Ring Artifact" | User:ExampleContributor | A3-B6-C2-D1-E1-F3-G2-H5-I1-J2-K2-L2-M3-N2 |
Detection: An ex-military engineer conducting an independent CubeSat experiment in LEO used an AI to test electromagnetic transmissions... || Interpretation: The planet-like figure and prominently etched glyph motifs did not yield deeper message information... || Understanding: Later material analysis revealed a payload made of protein-silicate composites fused with metal nanostructures... || Orbiting artifact, synthetic-biological, neutral |
