Major SETI announcement!

[AggieDave 6]

The rumor on the web right now is that they found a transmission from another part of our Galaxy. I guess we'll have to wait just a bit to see.

It'll probably be something less cool then what SETI would hope for, but the idea and thought of a possibility is still really exciting.

Automatic or manual ?

I haven't run the SETI client for a long time now, I'm just about able to run this.

More like remember The Andromeda Strain. At least there was a hot chick involved in Species.

Actually, there is more than speculation! Here is a photograph of transmission they found. Tests are being done to confirm its origin. It sure isn't what I suspected.

That's about what they found too!

SETI came out and said STFU. Said that it wasn't a transmission they found, automatic or manual, nor was it even a transfer case.

I should be able to think up a good "universal" joke for this, but I'm drawing a blank

That's not the transmission they were looking for. It doesn't have any "planetary" gears.

This was added to the press release today:

Quote

Editor's update: To those of you who have been speculating about what will be announced tomorrow: The original calendar posting on this page simply had date, time, and location. Nothing else. It was posted here a week ago - on 9 October. A detailed - but embargoed - media alert was sent out at the same time to reporters by the SETI Institute in which no mention is made of signals from outer space. Yet, the announcement is indeed a major one for the SETI Institute.

Please ask yourself this: do you (1) really think that the SETI Institute would issue some sort of major announcement i.e. detection of a signal from another civilization - a week ahead of announcing it formally - and then (2) expect the media to sit on such amazing news - for an entire week?

The next time y'all start to whip up a frenzy - out of thin air - use a little common sense before you hit [send].

The actual announcement was of a new research center opening.

There's a lot of people out there that would love to have the rumored announcement be true. Elvis told me that it would happen soon, and you've got to trust Elvis.
