A mysterious telegram found on the body of a World War II pigeon may never be deciphered, admitted British decoder experts on November 23.

A mysterious telegram found on the body of a World War II pigeon may never be deciphered, admitted British decoder experts on November 23.

According to the BBC, the UK's leading decoder experts have called on the public to help break the encrypted telegram.

The message was discovered by a man named David Martin after cleaning the chimney of a house in Bletchingley village in Surrey County, England.

The telegram was in a small red tube, attached to the foot of the skeleton of the dove, consisting of 27 character groups.

Historians believe that this dove is almost certainly released from France during the D-Day landing in Normandy on June 6, 1944.

The mysterious telegram was transferred to the Government Information Center (GCHQ) in early November in the hope that the agency's decoding experts could read it.

However, GCHQ's experts cannot decipher the telegram. Currently, they are urging retired decoders to work at GCHQ's predecessor organization and others who have worked in the military communications industry to comment.

The deciphering World War II experts are probably over 90 years old. However, they are still hopeful that they will be smart enough to recognize the type of code used and how to solve them.

Experts believe that this may be a one-time code type and only senders and recipients get the key to disband. This makes it almost indestructible.

It is also said that the telegram is based on a special code used in a specific campaign. If the charset has been canceled, the telegram is almost impossible to solve.

More than 250,000 pigeon pigeons were used during World War II and each pigeon has a number. In the telegram there are two pigeon numbers NURP.40.TW.194 and NURP.37.OK.76 but it is not clear which number is the bird found in Bletchingley.

According to the Independent, the only part of the prize message is the destination of Bomber Command, coded with the XO2 symbol while the sender signature below the message is Sjt W Stot (Serjeant W Stot - Sergeant W Stot).

The word Serjeant is considered meaningful because the British Air Force used the word 'serjeant' while the army used the word 'sergeant'.

The origin of the telegram is said to be Bletchley Park, which is home to the cryptographic center of the Second World War British government, the predecessor organization of GCHQ, located 129 km from Mr. Martin's house.

The bird is thought to be lost, disoriented in bad weather or exhausted after a long flight.

Below are the telegram characters recorded by the BBC to appeal to readers all over the world to join hands in solving the mysterious telegram described as being unable to be deciphered.
