BERKELEY, Calif. -- On Monday, KTVU reported scientists have received an odd signal from space and some readers may have interpreted this as a confirmed extra-terrestrial contact.
Scientists did confirm there was an anomalous radio signal and reported it late last year.
However, as SETI@home lead scientist Dan Werthimer now clarifies, "although this pulse is not well understood..." it may have a natural origin.
SETI Institute Chief Scientist Seth Shostak says the highly energetic and brief signal at first excited some researchers, who at the time thought it may be a candidate ET signal. It was received not at Arecibo, Puerto Rico, as reported, but rather in Australia.
The signal has not been confirmed as any sign of extra-terrestrial intelligence, although the Allen array in California is now actively searching for more of these signals.

Klaatu Barata Nookie!
I know a red headed stranger.
An irregular signal would be more of a sign of intelligent life than a wave that is pulsing.
Unless the sound has a recurring beat that you can dance to.

I’m glad you posted this. I was just about to jump out of the window, granted, the first floor window but still ....
It sounds like, "Dennis Kucinich, phone home..."
I heard that based on TV signals these ET’s have already received from earth they deemed us an unworthly life form, so beware ...
Does anyone believe that IF this is the Real Deal, that the ones responsible will actually confirm this? I seriously doubt it. The only way to confirm the existence of extra terrestrial life is the way it was done in “Independence Day”. They show up in ships no one on Earth could have ever built.
I believe that life in the Great Out There does exist. It’s just getting a super honest confirmation of it. How many lies have the sheeple heard over the years about this?
Still, it would be neat if it was real. Get on your iPhone and return the call.
UFOs have supposedly been flying around Stephenville and Austin, Texas the last few days. The news last night had a segment on a video of a craft flying around Lake Travis. Here’s a link to the Stephenville sightings.
