ABSTRACT: Both previous radiomessages for aliens, Arecibo 1974 and Evpatoria 1999 (see http://ebe.allwebco.com/Science for details) were the logical ones and represented the binary stream of FM information, which should be arranged into two-dimensional forms to perceive by eye-like sense-organ. ... So, I suggest to implement the 1st Theremin Concert for Aliens from Arecibo or Evpatoria Radar facility. ... The theremin was invented 80 years ago, in 1920 by Leon Theremin. ...
