When imagination takes form.

The Beginning of the Intercepts — 1943

The first transmissions were dismissed as equipment faults.

The machine repeatedly produced sketches of strange creatures, floating islands and impossible machines.

Technicians assumed the apparatus was malfunctioning.

Subsequent investigations suggested that the intercepted signals consisted of a mixture of direct observations and imaginative projections generated by the subject's own cognitive processes.

Early operators reported receiving fragmented images, impossible landscapes, unknown life forms and recurring references to an unidentified traveller later designated WOT.

Researchers were unable to determine which transmissions represented objective reality and which originated from WOT's imagination.

The distinction remains uncertain.
