I don’t know why anyone would want to sell this - but the guy must have come up on some hard times to want to sell his “one of a kind” Alien Spacecraft Detector.
What is he going to do now when aliens are within 8-10 miles of his house and he has no way to detect them?
Many alien spacecraft enter the earths atmosphere every year, but few are seen or detected.
Here’s how it works:
- When a spacecraft achieves intergalactic space travel and hovers for extended periods of time, it produces a very high frequency noise that can not be detected by human ears.
- This device can pick up the frequency through its antenna.
- Once it is picked up the antenna, the power of a small AA battery and a magnet push the signal through a curled spring which spreads out the rate of transmission.
- Then the signal is sent to a quarter which contains nickel which slows down the speed of the frequency.
- The signal then travels to a small speaker that will start to hum.
- The speaker hums and you can hear it because the original frequency is lowered to pitch that the human ear can detect.
Someone working on a PhD in electrical engineering want to explain to me how “the power of a small AA battery and a magnet push the signal through a curled spring”?

It should be pretty clear, Mr. Physics Major, that energy can be used to move things (hence the AA battery); ever heard of the “Invisible Hand?” What puzzles me is how it slows down the rate of transmittion and the frequence. Where do the wavefronts go? Do you have to empty out the wavefronts that have piled up in the machine after you’ve used it for a long time? Maybe you just have to change the quarter.
I like the note at the bottom of the auction: Not guaranteed to work, not responsible for malfunction of any kind. Nothing stated above is necessarily true or has happened before.

I think that the battery is actually used to transmit a signal to nearby alien ships. This signal identifies the user of the device as someone other humans wouldn’t miss - if abducted - and also creates a beacon for them to home in on.
So - a great prank would be to buy this device and turn it on in the home of the office prankster that you “owe-one” too, and then laugh to yourself when he comes into work a few days later twitching and hiding under tables.
