PALATINE, Ill. - An elementary school science teacher in this Chicago suburb doesn't have to turn on the news for an update on    NASA's space mission. She just turns on her video baby monitor.

Since Sunday, one of the two channels on Natalie Meilinger's baby monitor has been picking up black-and-white video from inside the space shuttle Atlantis. The other still lets her keep an eye on her baby.

"Whoever has a baby monitor knows what you'll usually see," Meilinger said. "No one would ever expect this."

Live video of the mission is available on NASA's Web site, so it's possible the monitor is picking up a signal from somewhere.

"It's not coming straight from the shuttle," NASA spokeswoman Brandi Dean said. "People here think this is very interesting and you don't hear of it often — if at all." [snip]

This could, of course, be something ordinary but nobody's heard of anything like it before. It reminds me of the story of KLEE-TV out of Houston, Texas. Back in 1953, television viewers in the UK began receiving signals from station KLEE in Texas. It would take over their screens and override the current local programming often as long as 3 minutes. During this time, the station's call letters and location were clearly seen. Some viewers even phtotgraphed the phenomenon.

Upon investigation, however, it was discovered that KLEE out of Houston went off the air in 1950 and no other station anywhere in the world had used the call letters KLEE since then. So we're stuck explaining not only how a local station in Houston was reaching viewers in the UK for several weeks but how could it be doing this when it was no longer broadcasting.

Some think the signals must have radiated into space and struck a body 1.5 light-years away and then bounced back. Of course, this forces us to ask what body the signals struck and how it radiated the signal back to earth. Moreover, the signals would have to be boosted considerably especially to override current local live programming.

Was it an intelligence operation of some sort? A psy-op as they call them?

And what could possibly relay a signal from NASA to a single baby monitor hundred of miles away? Once again the signal is coming out of the Houston area and there seems to be no credible explanation. Why wouldn't the other monitor also receive the signal? Why is no one else noticing this problem?
