In September 2015, Dr. Pim Weeresethakul, a scientist working with the International Space Exploration and Coordination Group (ISECG), illegally released a batch of files to Wikileaks. Among the files was an unidentified audio transmission from Mars' orbit. The signal was detected by ISECG in March 2015, but ISECG chose to keep the audio secret. The audio file of the signal spread quickly online and soon became known as the “Murdered by the sky” transmission, due to speculation that the signal contained a message in Morse code. There was an international furor over the release of the documents. Many praised Dr. Pim for her bravery in releasing the files, while others condemned her for causing panic at an undisclosed alien threat. Fearing repercussion, Dr. Pim sought political asylum at the Mexican Embassy in Paris, France. She agreed to a single interview with Guardian reporter Drew Sutton, in December 2015. March 14, 2016, Drew Sutton released the raw, unedited tape of their interview online—perhaps to encourage as many people as possible to prepare themselves for the arrival of the large whale-like objects currently headed to Earth. The tape includes many details not included in the original Guardian articles. POET IN BANGKOK has decided to offer a copy of the file here because we’ve spoke a lot about Mars on the podcast, and during the interview Dr. Pim makes several comments about speech and cultural norms in Thailand. Thanks to Drew Sutton for making the original document available. And thanks to our friends N.D. and K.L.H. for hooling us up with this file with us.
