Baby Monitor Makes Extraterrestrial Contact


Most parents hope that their baby monitors never have anything exciting on them -- a sleeping baby usually means a happy household. That's not the case for an Illinois mother who saw something unexpected on her supposedly closed-circuit baby monitor, something she's been watching intently for days. Somehow the device is picking up video sent to Earth by NASA's space shuttle Atlantis.

Given the monitor's rather small rabbit ear-style antenna, it's unlikely that the device is actually picking up the live feed directly from the shuttle. Rather, the theory is that someone local to her is rebroadcasting the stream and it just happens to be on the same frequency as the baby monitor. Either way, this is probably a good sign there may be a future-astronaut in the house.
