A Spooky Classic TV Story for Halloween

An excerpt from the link below:

**************

"Is there an intelligence somewhere in outer space which is beaming TV signals at the earth?

"Or can television signals from Texas wander around the ionosphere for more than three years and then be picked up in England?

"These are two of the questions with which engineers are wrestling in Houston, Texas, and in Britain as they delve into the mystery of KLEE-TV. And these are the facts.

"1. At 3:30 PM, British Summer Time, September 14, 1954, Charles W. Bratley, of London picked up the call letters KLEE-TV on his television set. Later that month, and several times since, they have been seen by engineers at Atlantic Electronics, Ltd., Lancaster, England.

"2. The call letters KLEE-TV have not been transmitted since July 1950, when the Houston station changed it letters to KPRC-TV.

"3. A check of the world's television stations confirms the fact that there is not now and never has been another KLEE-TV."
