Original Note:
The 1977 "Vrillon" broadcast intrusion was a hoax, where a group used video signal jacking to interrupt a UK TV broadcast. The message, allegedly from aliens, was part of a prank, not an actual extraterrestrial communication. No evidence supports the alien claim. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/vrillon-hacking-alien-voice-seventies-extra-terrestrial-hoax-unexplained-mysteries-a8069926.html
