[narrator] When the upgrades
were complete,
00:00:02.008 --> 00:00:05.833
it was renamed the
Woodbury Research Facility.
00:00:07.333 --> 00:00:11.001
It would provide
follow up detection for
another SETI station
00:00:11.001 --> 00:00:11.233
in Green Bank, West Virginia.
00:00:11.233 --> 00:00:12.233
in Green Bank, West Virginia.
00:00:13.006 --> 00:00:18.000
So, having this device,
which we called a "FUDD,"
Follow Up Detection Device,
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.933
was the key for being able
to quickly scan the skies
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.008
and excise any
radio frequency interference.
00:00:24.008 --> 00:00:28.007
If you watch the movie,
Contact, after their detection
of a signal,
00:00:28.007 --> 00:00:32.003
Jodie Foster kisses the screen
and says, "Thank you, Elmer."
00:00:32.003 --> 00:00:35.733
And of course, the software
that ran the FUDD
was named Elmer.
