Have aliens hijacked Voyager 2 spacecraft

It would depend on your perspective wouldn't it? If you were positioned so that the probe was directly between you and the planet you probably wouldn't be able to see it with all the interference but if you were looking at it perpendicularly to the line from the probe to the planet then you probably could see it.

Though of course I'm no expert on electromagnetic waves and the interference of such.

But in terms of space from any angle the probe is pretty much next to earth.

it would be easier to just send your signal to the planet rather than to the tiny probe.

readily refined resources?

A breathable atmosphere making mining and resource collection much more easy?

safer to mine on a dead world, surely everything here would be toxic to them anyway...

even if they could breath our air what about the bio hazard.... and if they were advanced enough to be pumped full of nono bots to keep them safe, and to be able to travel the stars, im sure they would use robots to harvest resources... or jsut split the planet in two feed it into a massive mining ship ... (in which case the atmosphere did not matter)

the only major issue I can see would be

1) if most planets have life and they like a big corperation spent so much getting here they jsut fed our planets into their mining ships anyway (after saying sorry but its cost us a packet to get here)...

2) they killed us for fun

Unless they want to mess with our minds as previously mentioned :D

Don't worry, I know what you're getting at and I too can't see a reason why they'd fiddle with alien tech (to them, not us) to broadcast a signal we wouldn't understand instead of just calling over to say hello (unless they didn't want to cause a panic and decided to call first).

Considering the size of Voyager and the size of our galaxy, let alone the universe... the likelihood of intelligent life finding it is pretty much zero. It probably collided with something or the on board thermal balancing equipment has finally given up the ghost so everything is running too cold corrupting the data.

using human technology maybe but you can possibly fathom the types of technology we will have in 100 years never mind what type of technology an alien race may have

Why would everything be toxic?

Odds are there are aliens out there with very similar chemistry to us, and as for biohazards you can just wear a filter or use medicines nd it would still be easier than having to wear space suits.

Or they might be needing to find a new planet to settle on.

Traditionally the less advanced race has always done worse out of these meetings.

reminds me of Hitchhikers guide....they had to demolish earth to build a super space highway....

this "message" is probably letting us know the deadline to appeal has passed and notifying us the date of demolition...week on tuesday
 
if it was aliens that are so advanced that they can build spacecraft that can travel space quickly and efficiently, then i'm sure they'll have the technology on it to spot artificially created objects within range no matter what interference might be around. Also as stated an aliens genetic make up might be not that different from our own so could be looking to colonise or maybe they need one of our most readily available natural resource water who knows.

but to be honest i'd bet its just a boring tech fault.

Just lol.

It's a man-made craft stuffed full of sensitive and fragile 1970's electronic equipment that has been travelling at speed through probably the harshest environmental conditions imaginable for 33 years. Bearing in mind those facts, which is more likely, it has been hijacked by Aliums, or it is actually just....on the blink? :rolleyes:
 
Having seen "Into the universe with Stephen Hawking" any aliens that would have the technology to actually get to Earth would have have the technology to do whatever they wanted with us and probably would just use Earth for resources and wipe us all in no time if they wanted to.

Also to get anywhere in space for a small spacecraft 33 years is not much at all.
