SETI finally finds aliens?

OK, don't start making that tin foil hat just yet, but it looks like SETI have finally identified a radio signal that appears to be of extra-terrestrial origin 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.

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

[EDIT]
Oh, well, so it most likely wasn't true...

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.
