Nikola Tesla is widely regarded as one of the greatest inventing minds of the 20th century. Throughout his life, Tesla's obsession over his work allowed him to make numerous contributions to the world of electricity, many of which helped to usher in the high tech era which we are accustomed to today. Most people are aware of at least one of his discoveries, whether it is alternating current, wireless communication, or wireless controlling, but few people are aware that Tesla may have made another discovery which was more fantastic than all of the others combined. Tesla may have picked up a signal from another world. And done so on more than one occasion.
Tesla's interest in extraterrestrial signals seems to have begun at the turn of the century when he was working on wireless power transmission at his tower near Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs, Colorado. According to an article he wrote for Collier's Weekly in 1901, Tesla was conducting an experimenting at the site when he began to notice periodic electrical changes:
"It was some time afterward when …show more content…
I am constantly endeavoring to improve and perfect my apparatus, and just as soon as practicable I shall again take up the thread of my investigations at the point where I have been forced to lay it down for a time."
Indeed, Tesla put aside his research into extraterrestrial signals for another few years while he conducted research into wireless power transmission at his new facility, Wardenclyffe Tower, in New Jersey. Eventually though, Tesla's primary investor, J.P. Morgan, pulled his investment at Wardenclyffe when he realized that it wouldn't be feasible to charge for wireless power. This caused Tesla's expensive research at Wardenclyffe to come to a grinding halt by 1907, leaving him penniless and
