His Claims Of Receiving Signals From Outer Space Were Proven Right On A Century Later

Tesla established a field laboratory in Colorado Springs, Colorado, during the summer of 1899 to investigate the viability of using high-altitude stations to broadcast data and electric power across great distances. Tesla's apparatus detected a sequence of beeps one July day while monitoring lightning storms. He came to the conclusion that the signals must be coming from another planet after ruling out solar and terrestrial origins. In response to the American Red Cross's plea for a forecast of the biggest scientific advance in the following century the Christmas after, Tesla wrote, “Brethren! We have a message from another world, unknown, and remote. It reads one… two… three…”.
