In CONTACT, the contact between Earth and Vega originates with a telecast of Hitler shown exclusively in Germany. ...

The telecast reaches Vega in 1962 and leads to the hero meeting with a "Vegan" in a simulation of Pensacola, Florida. ... 

"Look at it this way: those few minutes of television were originally broadcast in 1936, at the opening to the Olympic Games in Berlin. 
Even though it was only shown in Germany, it  was the first television transmission on Earth with even moderate power.  ... those TV
signals got  through our ionosphere and trickled out into space. 

... Maybe that welcome from Hitler is the only fragment of the transmission they were able to pick up on Vega. So, from their point of
view,  Hitler is the first sign of intelligent life on Earth.  I'm not trying to be ironic.  They don't know what the transmission means, so
they record it and transmit it back to us. It's a way of saying 'Hello we  heard you.' "                                                                                

Imagine the Earth is here ... and there's a little spherical wave running away from it at the speed of light, starting in 1936.  It keeps
expanding and receding from Earth.  Sooner or later it reaches the nearest civilization.  They seem to be surprisingly close, only
twenty-six light years away, on some planet of the star Vega."
