OK, don't start making that tin foil hat (http://www.tagliners.org/pics/signs.jpg) just yet, but it looks like SETI have finally identified a radio signal that appears to be of extra-terrestrial origin (http://www.newscientist.com/news/nographic.jsp?id=ns99996341) and seems unlikely to be just random interference.

Of course, even director of SETI@home David Anderson remains skeptical about the finding. ”It’s unlikely to be real but we will definitely be re-observing it.” Its nice to see SETI turning up something other than static.

Remember this date, just in case....

Cool, then maybe the crunching hasn't been in vain ;)

And since they've only found as little as they have, I'm sure we'll have plenty to WU's to crunch :D


Oh, well, so it most likely wasn't true (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/09/02/alien_no_no/)...

Perhaps they'd get this kind of thing more often if their Boinc client was worth a crap. I removed it from all the computers at my house because its incredibly unreliable on getting and submitting units.

Dammit! I was all packed and everything.
