Lucky 7 Pirated TV station

Made in Bing Creator

On April 14, 1978, The Lucky Seven Channel first broadcasted in Syracuse, New York. It's believed that it was the first pirated TV station in the United States. It would broadcast on the unused channel 7 for only 3 nights. It was said to have been well-done and even a logo for the station was good. It was a dice rolled to a seven and a jingle was also recorded with an all-female chorus. 

 It played in various films and TV shows. Some examples were Rocky, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Star Trek, Twilight Zone, and the porno Deep Throat. Between the films, a man would wear a gas mask with a noose around his neck would editorialize. Production is said to have been surprisingly well done, with even a logo for the station being a die that rolled to a seven. A jingle was also recorded, featuring what sounded like an all-female chorus.

It's unknown who did this, but it was suspected that it was some students at Syracuse University. It seemed that the signal was strongest in the surrounding neighborhood. This pirated channel was reported in the news at the time. However, there are no known recordings of this at this time.

Vrillon and His Message From Ashtar Galactic Command

Around 5 p.m. on November 26, 1977 ITN News in Southern Britain was taken over. T.V. news anchor Andrew Gardner was doing the

10 minutes past five was when the T.V. screen began to distort and the sound of Andrews voice began to fade as a new voice sounded. He introduced himself as Vrillon and he spoke for the Ashtar Galactic Command. and he relayed his message for about 6 minutes. The video above is of the broadcast.

The basics of the message was that the person's name was Vrillon and he spoke for the Ashtar Galactic Command. He hints that people are right that Aliens exist. He asks the humans to get rid of their weapons of destruction and live in peace. They're concerned for the well being of Earth and wanrs of false prophets and

It's also thought that the person chose to do it on a news broadcast instead of a program, so that the message would have been heard by more people. But some still wonder if it really was a prank as there was no punchline or anything of the sort. Only the bits of fear he put into some.

So is the message from Vrillon human or someone from the stars?
