tesla receives interplanetary communications 1899 "My measurements and calculations have shown that it is perfectly practicable to produce on our globe, by the use of
these principles, an electrical movement of such magnitude that, without the slightest doubt, its effect will be
perceptible on some of our nearer planets, as Venus and Mars. Thus, from mere possibility, interplanetary
communication has entered the stage of probability." Nikola Tesla, 1900 "I refer to the strange electrical disturbances, the discovery which I announced six years ago. At that time I was only
certain that they were of planetary origin. Now, after mature thought and study, I have come to the positive
conclusion that they must emanate from Mars." Nikola Tesla, 1907 6 "The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greetings of one planet to another."5
Nikola Tesla, 1901
also Tesla "I did not state that I had obtained a message from Mars, I only expressed my conviction that the disturbances that I
obtained were of planetary origin." Nikola Tesla, 1901
