Mississippi radio station taken over; ominous Microsoft Sam countdown activated. - General

[QUOTE=Str4t0s;25296089]Aliens broadcast messages from radios and television, because they dont know our language/cant speak.[/QUOTE] I was actually thinking about this this morning. We've broadcasted MANY of our radio and satellite transmissions into outer-space, with our coordinates, DNA, and much MUCH more. What's to say that this isn't aliens talking to us back?

It is EXTREMELY plausible.
