In Turin Italy a group of University professors reported hearing articulated noises that could be a human voice on a tape of radio signals from 12 frequency used by Soviet satellites. The sounds were on a recording made Sunday and followed by another from several days earlier. The Judica-Cordiglia brothers, amateur radio operators who monitored the signals, played the tapes for the professors. The brothers previously claimed a living boy might be present.
