To those of you who say this is fake, because the "alien" has a British accent, that it implausible. To the British, we have an accent. It is impossible not to have an accent. So, it would make sense to me that in England, Aliens speak with a British accent, and in America, aliens speak with an American accent.

Speaking of implausible, care to explain why an alien would have the accent of the country it is speaking to?

How about Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen - He was #1
That's what I'm talking about.

Wow. If this were to be a legitimate broadcast from a highly advanced species you'd think they'd at least tell us something a bit more insightful and profound than the hippie drivel I just listened to.
Does this mean that Jerry Garcia was an alien?

Some kind of artificial translation device keyed to to the accent of the audience? We can do it now so not too much of a stretch to suppose aliens might have similar technology.
For me, the reason this is a fake isn't the accent it's
the seriously bad quality of the transmission;
the dr who-like reverb;
the small geographic area involved
Any alien worth it's salt would be able to overcome these problems surely?
To me this has the hallmarks of a university prank.

And no the technology to intercept the seven broadcasting stations uninterupted and not be caught DID NOT EXIST in 1977... You would've had to have had a team of 8 with 7 at each station or interupting from a close area at least and the last one watching their backs.
The broadcast took over the sound only, leaving the video signal unaltered. At that time, the Hannington UHF transmitter was unusual in being one of the few transmitters which rebroadcast an off-air signal received from another transmitter, rather than being fed directly by a landline. As a consequence it was open to this kind of signal intrusion, as even a relatively low-powered transmission very close to the transmitter could overwhelm its reception of the intended signal, resulting in the unauthorised transmission being amplified and rebroadcast across a far wider area.

Nonsense - citizen band radios, aerials and huge power supplies only existed after the person who believes this story was born.
I remember the 70's. The world was black and white, there was lots of snow, Mary Poppins was my nanny and Dick Van Dyke invented Cockney.

Okay umm yeah... I honestly think that this type of organized, planned act would've taken the collected knowledge of 8 or more people and the money that most people didn't have in the 70's especially for a operation like this. Even more that I bet if it were done by human's they would've been activists or "hippies" of some sort. And no way in hell are they going to have the money or technology for this type of event.

Give me proof it WASN'T aliens, not proof that it was "probably" humans... Because the argument goes both ways unless one can prove to the other.

Oh and it was like SEVEN transmitters... Not just one. So you need seven transmitters or one extremely powerful one(which wasn't available yet). So yeah, seven transmitters = seven intruder transmitters. Who can afford SEVEN Hannington UHF transmitters? Show of hands?... Thanks.

Does this mean that Max Headroom really exists?
