Nikola Tesla, a renowned inventor, was fascinated with the idea of communicating with beings from other planets. In a 1931 interview with Time Magazine, Tesla stated that nothing could be more important than interplanetary communication, and that it would form the foundation of a universal brotherhood that would last as long as humanity itself. He believed that the discovery of other intelligent life in the universe would have a profound effect on humanity, inspiring feelings of love and reverence.

Tesla's fascination with interplanetary communication dates back to 1899 when he recorded some unusual signals from outer space at his laboratory in Colorado Springs. Tesla believed that the signals were coming from an intelligent extraterrestrial civilization. He discovered the signals while tracking thunderstorms 600 miles away from his location. He heard beeps he had never heard before, a three-beep sequence in mathematical form.

In an article published by Collier’s Weekly in February of 1901 titled “Talking With The Planets”, Tesla reported his findings two years later. The experience was so profound that Tesla became obsessed with trying to receive signals and communicate with beings from other planets. According to Collier’s Weekly, Tesla had been interested in interplanetary communication for years and "he sees no reason why we should not soon be within talking distance of Mars or of all worlds in the solar system that may be tenanted by intelligent beings."

Tesla was sure that the variations in the signals were not caused by any known electrical disturbances such as those produced by the sun, Aurora Borealis, or earth currents. He was convinced that the changes were not accidental but were intelligently controlled. Although he could not decipher their meaning, he felt that the signals had a purpose behind them.

Tesla's discovery of the signals was met with controversy, and he faced severe criticism from those who did not understand the depth of his genius. Even today, many people ridicule his beliefs about interplanetary communication.

Tesla's vision for interplanetary communication was not limited to sending and receiving signals. He believed that the discovery of intelligent life on other planets would have a profound effect on humanity, inspiring feelings of love and reverence. He saw interplanetary communication as the foundation of a universal brotherhood that would last as long as humanity itself. Tesla's fascination with interplanetary communication was a testament to his belief that there was much more to the universe than what we could see on earth.
