Re: First Conatct????
 

At this point, I'd say "unconfirmed" rather than "hoax". I am an astronomy buff and it is usually very easy for these astronomers to determine if a signal originated from Earth.

Slick.

True. I think it is more likely than not, just what they think it is, a side effect of something else. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif However, we should keep our fingers crossed just in case.

Or maybe not even "unconfirmed". Try "Over-enthusiastic journalism".

Re: First Conatct????
 

Well even if it is alien in origin just think how long it's taken to get here. I doubt any aliens who sent it exist anymore

Re: First Conatct????
 

A SETI researcher is now denying {link} that they have a signal.

Re: First Conatct????
 

Looks to me like they're denying this awfully hard...

Hmm...

If we did recieve a signal from an Alien Race, do you think they (World Governments, Research Institutes) would gleefully announce that we've found evidence of life beyond Earth? Nope, they'd deny it until the Aliens started competing on American Idol. The ramifications of discovering intelligent life beyond Earth is far more terrifing to some people (especially fanatic religious folk) than a nuclear war.
