Marconi companies connection to the UFO phenomenon

A few weeks ago I posted a thread regarding the connections between Guglielmo Marconi and his Marconi company and UFOs and secretive programs.

  There are links covering all of this in the thread linked above, but to sum it up...

  Guglielmo Marconi and Tesla invented radio around the same time. Both men claimed they picked up radio signals from ET.

  Then in 1933 a UFO reportedly crashed in Italy(Lue Elizondo specifically mentioned this crash recently). G. Marconi was the lead person in a group created by Mussolini that studied the crash in Italy.

  G. Marconi later created the Marconi Company. The Marconi company was located near, and is rumored to be involved in the Rendlesham Forest events.

  The Marconi Company was later directly involved in Ronald Regan's Star Wars Program. Around that time many scientists associated with Marconi died in very mysterious circumstances. Six of them died in one year.

  So the reason I'm posting this is...I already have all this stuff in my head, and the other day I listened to an episode of the Noctivagant pocast, where they read from Jacques VallΓ©es new book Trinity: The best kept secret. At 5:55 this is what they read...

 

"An avocado shaped craft soared in out of the sky, bounced of the nearby Marconi radio Tower, and came crashing to Earth".

 

Its hard for me to believe this is a coincidence. I find it odd that the book even specifically mentions the radio tower is a Marconi tower.

  So now I'm wondering if between the 1933 crash and the 1945 New Mexico crash, was Marconis work was somehow used to draw in or crash UFOs?

  What are the chances the New Mexico craft actually bounces off the Marconi Tower, considering Marconis previous history.

  IMO, Marconi and the technology he created is intrinsically connected to the UFO phenomenon.

TIL Morse code was handled on naval ships by employees of private companies: Marconi for British ships, and Telefunken for German ships. They were not allowed to answer the distress signal of the competing radio company until a conference in 1908 established SOS as the international distress signal. simple.wikipedia.org/wiki…

Why have mask mandates if businesses don't enforce them?

I went to Trader Joe's on Marconi, and was told by the manager that their company policy is to not enforce Sacramento County's Public Health mandate. Whether you're for or against a mask mandate is irrelevant.

What other health mandates are they like, "Naw. We're good."?

While we're at it, let's politicize salmonella, and say fuck safe food handling!!

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Why I don't fear the radio

Radio has been part of our lives since we took our first breaths.

The world's first commercial radio station, KDKA, began broadcasting in Pittsburgh in 1920. In 1928 W3XK, the first American TV station, went on the air in suburban Washington DC. In 1941, FM station W47NV went on the air in Nashville. In 1972, the Open Skies initiative legalized communication satellites, making cable TV possible.

In 1973, Marty Cooper made the first mobile telephone call from handheld subscriber equipment. But the history of radio communications goes back a lot further: in the 1890s Oliver Lodge and Guglielmo Marconi demonstrated systems for mobile telegraph for trains.

Most of the data that traverses the Internet today begins or ends on a mobile device. In the 125 years of mobile data scientists have studied ways to make radios better, faster, more efficient and safer. One repository of scientific studies about radios and human health - EMF Portal at RWTH Aachen University in Germany - houses 40,000 scientific studies and summaries on the topic.

Oddly, some are still afraid of radios. This came to my attention in 1990 when I took on a consulting assignment with Photonics, a company in Los Gatos California that was selling a wireless version of the AppleTalk local area network called Photolink. The first version of Photolink was proprietary, which limited its appeal. So the company joined forces with others to create an international standard for wireless LANs that would permit users to mix and match equipment from multiple vendors. This effort became IEEE 802.11, now known as Wi-Fi.

Photonics hired me to help them recast their design into a form that would meet the approval of the IEEE Standards Association's Project 802. I had successfully created the first standard for Ethernet over unshielded twisted pair wiring so I had some knowledge of
