Sure there is no such thing as aliens...............and i have been wrong before..............but we will see what happens......................keep playing games with me..............and continue not to let the Native Americans get their fair share.............80% of Americans live on treaty land..............treaties signed by the US government.............and presidents at that...........making them legal and binding..........but that, like everything else in this pathetic country............is swept under the rug........
Public and media response[edit]
The incident caused some alarm locally, and attracted considerable publicity in the next day's Sunday newspapers,[5] with the IBA immediately pronouncing that the broadcast was a hoax.[6] The IBA confirmed that it was the first time such a hoax transmission had been made.[7]
The event was reported around the world[8][9] with numerous American newspapers picking up the story from the UPI press agency.[10][11]
The broadcast also became a footnote in ufology as some chose to accept the supposed 'alien' broadcast at face value, questioning the explanation of a transmitter hijack. Within two days of the report of the incident in the Times, a letter to the editor published on November 30, 1977 asked "[How] can the IBA - or anyone else - be sure that the broadcast was a hoax?"[12] The editorial board of one local newspaper—the Eugene Register-Guard—commented, "Nobody seemed to consider that 'Asteron' may have been for real."[13] By as late as 1985, the story had entered urban folklore, with suggestions that there had never been any explanation of the broadcast.[14]
