[extropy-chat] SETI: First radio signal from alien

[Zero Powers]

WASHINGTON: Scientists from SETI, the worldwide project for Search for
Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence claim to have detected what they
believe to be the first radio signal from an alien civilisation.

The report to be published in the science journal New Scientist states
that the faint pulse, detected by the world's biggest single-dish
telescope, the Arecibo radio telescope, in Puerto Rico originated from
a planet located somewhere between the two constellations Pisces and
Aries.

Scientists have ruled out the possibility of the signal as
interference from Earth, satellites or other cosmic sounds.
