It is believed that the originator of the message may be the leader of the Heaven's Gate cult who commited suicide along with 38 of his followers last week. The New Mexico CETI station was first to receive the transmissions which started early on Sunday morning Pacific time. "I thought it was a hoax, one of the staff playing tricks on us" said professor Ima Phool, head of the CETI program. "I couldn't believe a that this was a real message from another inteligent life form." Professor Phool and his staff have been searching for evidence of extra terrestial life for years and apart from a very few short-lived and still unexplained occurances, this is the first time any concrete evidence has been uncovered." "The first message we received was in English and came in loud and clear". The leader of the cult was requesting that we forward his email through the CETI transmitter but we had to decline, we're not an ISP" said Professor Phool. "I suggested that he contact AOL to see if they could oblige". AOL denied any communications with the UFO or the cult leader when contacted earlier today. "We haven't heard from them" said AOL's head of non-terrestial subscriptions, "but it then again, our pan-galactic mail-server has been out for the past few days." When CWW contacted AT&T on the matter, they suggested that there's no way they could provide interplanetary Internet services for $19.95 per month. "We'd need to load that with some kind of surcharge to cover our extra costs" said the office cleaner, who was the only person available over the Easter break. It is believed that the cult has a new intergalactic domain name to where their email will eventually be redirected and from which their new Web-page design business will be run. It is thought that the domain will be hale.bop.com.earth.sol, although ISOCU (The Internet Society of the Universe) is currently proposing that the RULDS (Really Upper Level Domain Space) be re-organised into just one top level domain - .god. Speaking from the spacecraft, the cult's team-leader said "we intend to continue our Web-development activities, we'll just be teleworking from this point onwards. The recent publicity and change of premises has actually been very good for business, we're doing a lot of sites for funeral homes and that sort of thing". Tell us what you think! You said it...
