Having been a Hawkwind fan for 35+years these sounds are very, very familiar. I have a bootleg recording of a gig from Wloverhampton in mid 1971 and the resemblence to the Saturnian sound is unncanny, virtually identical. Weird.

Hi Nancy,

Please add the word 'to' between 'spacecraft' and 'build'

Scientists have used observations from NASAâ€™s Cassini spacecraft … build…

Random & unintentional outbound television & radio signals from the inhabitants of Saturn? Intentional transmissions of greeting?

This is absolutely stunningly beautiful – got sidetracked when I followed the link – I'm now learning about what Kronos Quartet and Terry Riley made out of similar recordings:

Wonderful! You could drop this into the soundtrack of 'Forbidden Planet' (movie made in 1956), and only dedicated students of early electronic music would be able to tell the difference.

Why would it repeat the same frequency three times? If electrons follow the Brownian Law of physics? what is the probabillity that the same sound frequency is repeated? surrley not possible. I am not trying to plant the seed of inteligent life, however questioning the hoax theory. And a good one too. anyone wanna proof me wrong please do so.

Kind of creepy!

Maybe that is the sound of an atomic bomb being dropped into Saturn to create a second sun to provide more light for us to bask in.
