Eerie Sounds from Saturn
Mick Ohrberg writes "Scientists at NASA have now heard proof (called 'Saturn kilometric radiation') that Saturn has a phenomenon similar to the earths' Northern Lights (aurora borealis). Talking about the eerie sounding noise, Dr. Bill Kurth with the University of Iowa, says "We believe that the changing frequencies are related to tiny radio sources moving up and down along Saturn's magnetic field lines."
It couldn't sound any spookier if they added a Theremin."
Just because the Saturnites are watching the twilight zone gives our scientists no reason to talk about electroical-magnetical-thingicals...
Go to the w3.org and put Slashdot.org through the validator.
I thought there was no sound in space?
Is this eerie recording week in science news? First the recording of the tsunami of the Earth Ripping Apart and now this.

And here I was going to trade in my Hyundai for a Saturn because it was making erie noises as well.

The planet of Saturn has ripped off Man or Astroman.
Theremin the size of a planet, and all I get is a Slashdotting.

This is news? Hippies have been hearing this sound since the 60s!
So THAT'S what has been keeping me awake at night. I'm calling NASA tomorrow and demanding that they turn that thing down.
Then again... you might not need to shift my voice to make it sound eerie...
So you're the one that keeps calling me at 1:00AM! You're gonna get it, buddy. *shakes fist*

So much for getting her interested in science.
That, sir, is why you lie.
come from Uranus.
I somehow get the feeling that some scientist were sitting around the lab drinking cheap beer, and wondered what they'd have to do to get the Saturn data to sound EXACTLY like something out of a poor-quality 50's space flick.

Yous asposed to be awake on sataun' when the aurora comes.
There is truth in humor.
I'm playing it over and over.
It's bringing back some great memories of watching bad 50's sci-fi movies as a kid.
For some reason I keep picturing a fat gorilla-suited space alien in a diving helmet....
Oh no... I've played it too many times... I've alerted the terrible space aliens that have been monitoring our airwaves!
Everybody run! Save your selves! Save your wives!

That isn't Saturn, it's Altair, and those sounds were made by long dead Krell musicians
I am supprised we did not hear Robbie the Robot ask if we need something!

Wes Craven Hired By NASA To Reinvigorate Their Program
In an apparent effort to win over their "Fellow Americans," NASA hired Hollywood dream killer Wes Craven to create sound bites to scare the raggity ends off of every internet surfers' eyelashes.
I had chili for dinner. 'scuse me.
The RIAA on Saturn be suing NASA for all it's worth. Spaceships should be leaving soon to collect or vaporize us all.
And then your kids will google for 'PenguinBoyDave' as they know its Daddys nickname, and the first thing that will come up is 'Piss off and boil your head'. Does that excite you as a parent as well?
Just in case Mars attacks.
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
I thought that sound was coming from Uranus... (Hey, YOU were thinking it too)
Not sure why anyone else doesn't understand this as clearly as I do. Saturn is where Hell is. These sounds you are hearing are obviously the moans and cries of the forever damned as they are repeatedly ripped apart. In addition, if you listen to the McGreevy VLF recordings, these are obviously sounds of the doomed souls being dragged to Hell (Saturn) by Satan's minions. Get Yee Hither! Repent!
No. Hell is on Mars, located below one of our research labs.
