“Alien” Hijacking (1973)
On 9th September 1973, at around 5.45am, during a Loony Tunes cartoon, viewers who were watching on a certain kind of satellite dish heard a strange message coming through their TV’s. The alien, which had a Southern English accent, incidentally said it was head of Galactic Command, and had come to Earth to ask us to give up our weapons of mass destruction. GTV swiftly informed viewers that the broadcast was definitely a hoax, and we weren’t actually being contacted by some sort of extraterrestrial being. Eerily though, the hoaxer was never caught, and there are some people who think the broadcast was a genuine alien.
