Baby monitor picks up video from NASA
Thu Jun 14, 4:52 PM ET

An elementary school science teacher in this Chicago suburb doesn't have to
turn on the news for an update on NASA's space mission. She just turns on
her video baby monitor.

Since Sunday, one of the two channels on Natalie Meilinger's baby monitor
has been picking up black-and-white video from inside the space shuttle
Atlantis. The other still lets her keep an eye on her baby.

"Whoever has a baby monitor knows what you'll usually see," Meilinger said.
"No one would ever expect this."

Live video of the mission is available on NASA's Web site, so it's possible
the monitor is picking up a signal from somewhere.

"It's not coming straight from the shuttle," NASA spokeswoman Brandi Dean
said. "People here think this is very interesting and you don't hear of it
often — if at all."

Meilinger silenced disbelieving co-workers by bringing in a video of the
monitor to show her class on Tuesday, her students' last day of school. At
home, 3-month-old Jack and 2-year-old Rachel don't quite understand what
their parents are watching.

"I've been addicted to it and keep waiting to see what's next," Meilinger
said.

Summer Infant, the monitor's manufacturer, is investigating what could be
causing the transmission, communications director Cindy Barlow said. She
said she's never heard of anything similar happening.

"Not even close," she said. "Gotta love technology."
