ENIAC (SETI)

ENIAC ("Empty Noise Into Alien Communication") station, broadcasting noise into space, in hopes of deceiving extraterrestrial intelligences into revealing military technologies.

ENIAC ( from "Empty Noise Into Alien Communication") was a secret SETI program during the Second World War.

The Allies built ENIAC to generate disinformation to alien civilizations, in an effort to gather and reverse-engineer advanced technologies.

Dalton Trumbo discovered the source code for ENIAC, decades after the war. Trumbo published a best-selling analysis of the source, along with much of the source code itself. His subsequent disappearance has lead to numerous conspiracy theories.
