Several websites have claimed that after having lost a lawsuit brought forth by Peter Gersten, a lawyer from Arizona, the National Security Agency (NSA) had to release a report that allegedly confirms the reception of meaningful signals fro outer space. Apparently, these messages had actually been received via the Sputnik satellite, but no one had any idea how to decode them before "a certain Dr. Howard Campaigne and some other NSA super mathematicians in the crypto department" were given the task of decoding the messages. There were a total of 29 messages to be decoded — quite an undertaking. According to the websites, they are mainly related to mathematical equations and contain the listing of all the elements in our Periodic Table.
However, it turns out that the entire thing was an internal exercise that was leaked to the www via WikiLeaks. Peter Gersten is real enough, but the document he got access to is nothing but a description of an intellectual exercise about how hypothetical signals from outer space would be handled. An if you Google the mysterious Howard Campaigne, he never turns up outside the articles describing the report, so he is obvious fictitious.
