Abstract

IN two earlier communications1, the reception of impulsive radio signals from the planet Venus at a wave-length of 11 metres was reported. These signals have burst-like characteristics somewhat resembling atmospherics from terrestrial thunderstorms and may presumably originate in similar storms on Venus. The bursts are of very short duration, being a small fraction of a second.
