-The '''D-Day carrier pigeon cipher''' is an encrypted message found in 2012 attached to the skeleton of a [[carrier pigeon]] that was inside a home chimney in [[Bletchingley]], Surrey, in the southeast United Kingdom. The message was handwritten on a standard form and consists of 27 five-letter groups. The message was addressed to "XO2," which is thought to be [[Bomber Command]], and is signed by a "Serjeant W Stot." It is believed to have been sent from France on June 6, 1944 during the World War II [[Normandy landings|D-day invasion]]. As of November, 2012, the message had not been deciphered. Britain's [[GCHQ]], the successor to [[Bletchley Park]] has asked for any information the public might have about the message. The message was addressed to "XO2" which is thought to be [[Bomber Command]].<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/9697929/Wanted-for-one-last-mission-call-for-Bletchley-Park-codebreakers-to-crack-the-D-Day-pigeon-cipher.html</ref>
