Can anyone hear SOS signals From Space?

Question

I don't do drugs. I don't drink alcohol, but I've been unable to sleep at night. Either I'm hearing humming all over the place in my room. My walls, everywhere. So, I stayed up trying to figure out where this hum keeps coming from. Then last night, I heard SOS Morse code. I don't know Morse Code but I know what SOS sounds like because I've heard it before a few months ago. Then something happens in the news or somewhere and I can't help.

Is it possible to hear signals from space through your ears when you're starting to drift off to sleep? I'm not able to find any search results from google or ask.com. I may be in contact with aliens, but I'm not sure of this. This started just last year.

Hi, you have reached the Borg Collective. Please leave your name and star system and we'll assimilate you as soon as we can.

Answer 2

No.  No signals from space through your ears.

Morse code is hardly known to humans (in general) and I would expect it to be even less known to aliens.

Many cell phones' "ring tone" is the Morse Code for SMS (Short Messaging Service) when a text message is received.  SMS is very close to SOS (close enough that I am startled for a brief second every time one goes off -- having learned Morse code).

The SOS Morse code as a distress call was mostly used on HF and on CW (2182 kHz and 500 kHz):  the quality of a signal on that frequency would deteriorate very rapidly with distance, in space, with the information lost in the noise.

Little chance for aliens to pick it up AND understand what it means.  They would quickly realize (if they did pick it up) that it is a very inefficient way to send information.

SOS as a distress call is no longer used.  So, I would not expect that you are picking it up over radio waves through fillings in your teeth (or whatever else can accidentally receive radio signals).

And no one would use it for any other purpose (probably still forbidden to use it for any other purpose).

Check for someone around you (same house, same street if the windows are open) with Short Messaging Service on their cell phone.  These darn things can be heard over quite a distance when everything else is quiet.

Answer 3

Think about it. Sound needs a medium to propogate through, such as air, water, solid matter. Sound cannot propogate through a vacuum, which is what outer space is mostly made up of. However, electromagnetic energy can propogate through a vacuum. People have been known to pick up radio stations in the fillings in their teeth. Maybe that is where you are hearing something and, yes, it could conceivably come from somewhere in outer space.
