Default Contact! (or just a burned fuse..)

Voyager 2 is sending "weird" messages back home.
Link: http://blogs.nationalgeographic.com/blogs/news/breakingorbit/2010/05/voyager-2-speaking-in-code.html

A technical glitch odviously, but the conspiracy-theory/UFO/Planrt-X crew is certainly going to have a party.

Don't worry, if it actually does turn out like the movie we'll all have died of boredom long before anything interesting happens.

It's no easy task, considering that Voyager 2 is about 8.6 billion miles (13.8 billion kilometers) from Earth. At that distance, it takes about 13 hours for a signal to reach the craft,
Holy smokes... you do realize that radio signals travel at or near the speed of light !
