Dear Sirs,
       The information, contained in the project is in my opinion the
evidence of its extraterrestrial origin.
                                   Project
                     of decoding of ‘The Stermer Effect’
       The phenomenon is described by K.Stermer in his work ‘The Problem  of
Aurora Borealis’ in the chapter entitled ‘The Echo  of  Short  Waves,  Which
Comes Back in Many Seconds After The Main Signal’.
       In 1928 the radio engineer Jorgen Hals from Birder near Oslo informed
K.Stermer about an odd radio echo received 3 seconds after the cessation  of
the main signal; besides, an ordinary echo encircling the Earth  within  1/7
of a second was received.
       In July Prof. Stermer spoke to Dr. Van-der-Paul in Andhoven and  they
decided to carry out experiments in autumn and send telegraphic  signals  in
the form of undamped waves every 20  seconds  three  dashes  one  after  the
other. On 11 October 1928 between 15.30 and 16.00, K.Stermer heard  an  echo
‘beyond any doubt’; the signals lasted for 1,5- 2 seconds on undamped  waves
31,4 meters long.
       Stermer and Hals recorded the intervals between the main  signal  and
the mysterious echo:
       1) 15, 9, 4, 8, 13, 8, 12, 10, 9, 5, 8, 7, 6
       2) 12, 14, 14, 12, 8
       3) 12, 5, 8
      4) 12, 8, 5, 14, 14, 15, 12, 7, 5.5, 13, 8, 8, 8, 13, 9, 10, 7, 14, 6,
         9, 5
      4) 9
       Atmospheric  disturbances  were  insignificant  at  that  time.   The
frequency of echoes  was  equal  to  that  of  the  main  signal.  K.Stermer
explained the nature of echoes by reflection of radio waves from  layers  of
particles ionised by the Sun. But!
       The Professor of the Stenford Electrotechnical University R.Bracewell
suggested possibility of informational communication  through  space  probes
between more or less developed civilisations in space. From  that  point  of
view the information about decoding  of  Stermer  series  can  be  found  in
following journals:
       ‘Smena’ No.2 Moscow 1966 , ‘Astronautics and  Aeronautics’  No.5  USA
1973, ‘Technika Molodezi’ No.4 1974 and No.5 1977 Moscow, etc.
       The author of this  work  offers  the  following  decoding:  let  the
numbers in the series be replaced for  chemical  symbols  of  elements  with
corresponding nuclear charges:
      1) P F Be O Al O Mg Ne F B O N C
      2) Mg Si Si Mg O
      3) Mg B O
      4) Mg O B Si Si P Mg N B B Al O O O Al F Ne N Si C F B
      5) F
       It is easy to see that the second series is repeated at the beginning
of the forth series with the  only  difference  that  in  the  forth  series
silicon is alloyed with boron and phosphorus, i.e.  ‘p-n  transition’  of  a
diode is created. The third series describes receipt of pure  boron  through
action on boron anhydrite by magnesium:
                              B2O3 + Mg ( B+…
       The author of the above hypothesis wrote his degree paper on  silicon
carbide light-emitting  diode, that is why the ending of  the  forth  series
is the most simple- it is a modern light-emitting diode. Silicon carbide  is
alloyed with nitrogen and boron  with  ‘some  participation’   of  fluorine.
Approximately  the  same  way  diamond  is  alloyed  with  participation  of
fluorine in laboratories of ‘other civilisations’, as can  be  seen  at  the
ending of the first series. In the middle of the forth series corundum,  the
base of ruby, is also alloyed with boron,  nitrogen  and  fluorine.  In  the
fifth series simply fluorine is educed as a useful but very aggressive  gas.
Inert neon seems to divide optoelectronic devices.
       In conclusion, some repeated applications should be noticed: fluorine
favours in a way either  diffusion  of  boron  or  electronic  processes  in
forbidden zones of diamond, silicon carbamide;  for  some  reason  magnesium
contacts are used.
       In 1928 semi-conductor devices were not in use on Earth.

                                                   1978 year, G.G Filipenko.
