Arecibo Ionospheric Observatory

The Arecibo Ionospheric Observatory was a satellite control room station and part of the National Astronomy & Ionosphere Center located in the municipality of Arecibo in Puerto Rico. Jorge Concepcion worked here as a controller. The radio transmission equipment received a transmission from outer space, which was really a recording from the Voyager I space probe, originally launched in September, 1977.

It was possible that the Arecibo Ionospheric Observatory may have been the site of a U.F.O. visitation. American F.B.I. agent Fox Mulder traveled to Arecibo to investigate these mysterious radio transmissions and found Jorge Concepcion, who was in a state of severe panic and agitation. Jorge drew an image in dust on the side of a wall, depicting an alien head. As Mulder worked with the equipment, Jorge's fear intensified and he fled from the bunker and ran outside. Mulder chased after him and found him lying against a tree, dead. He appeared to have been frightened to death. Mulder brought the body inside and recorded his observations. Suddenly, everything in the building began to shake violently, and bright lights penetrated the windows. The door opened and Mulder saw the sillohuete of what appeared to be an alien standing before him. In a flash, the figure was gone.

Mulder's partner in the F.B.I., Dana Scully, flew to Arecibo to find him. Mulder tried to keep the recordings of the transmission and they had to flee before a Blue Beret unit came in to wipe away any evidence of a U.F.O. visitation. When they returned to the United States, they found the recordings were blank.
