The patterns are:
:45:18
-We received two 1 5-minute broadcasts.
-Non-random signals?

:45:22
1 04 rapid pulses. After a five-second
interval, 40 pulses.

:45:26
Another five-second break,
and 30 pulses.

:45:29
60 seconds of silence,
then a new set of numbers.

:45:33
40, break five.
36, break five. Ten.

:45:36
-1 04 rapid pulses.
-Lord!

:45:38
Wait 60 seconds and the
whole doggone thing repeats.

:45:42
-Where are the signals from?
-The neighborhood.

:45:45
Light-travel time, roughly 7 seconds.
:45:48
Well within the plane
of the ecliptic.

:45:50
Are these non-random signals here, 40,
36, 1 0, in response to that?

:45:55
They should be. We've sent
this combination out for weeks.

:45:59
All we're getting back
are numbers.

:46:06
This could mean the lndia sounds
reached a dead end.

:46:10
They don't mean a thing.
:46:12
There's so much we don't know.
:46:14
How about where the signals originate?
:46:20
Excuse me.
:46:23
What letter is 1 04?
:46:28
Excuse me.
:46:32
Before l got paid to speak French...
:46:38
...l used to read maps.
:46:42
This first number is a longitude.
:46:50
Two sets of three numbers.
:46:52
Degrees, minutes and seconds.
:46:55
The first number has three digits,
and the last two are below 60.
