Tesla Publishes 'Talking with the Planets' in Collier's Weekly

Nikola Tesla's article 'Talking with the Planets' appears in Collier's Weekly. Drawing on his 1899 Colorado Springs observations, Tesla writes that 'the feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another.' The article is the most-cited mainstream-press statement Tesla ever made on interplanetary communication and is the primary upstream source for the half-century of contactee-era literature that would later claim him as a forerunner.
