Sort of reminded me of CBS’s Salvation (summer series), but when that ‘object’ changed course, traveled behind the moon, and exploded, they cancelled the series.

Now, we will never know what happened!

The SETI Institute is a not-for-profit research organization whose mission is to explore, understand, and explain the origin and nature of life in the universe, and to apply the knowledge gained to inspire and guide present and future generations. It aims for discovery and for sharing knowledge as scientific ambassadors to the public, the press, and the government. SETI stands for the "search for extraterrestrial intelligence". The Institute consists of three primary centers: The Carl Sagan Center, devoted to the study of life in the universe, the Center for Education, focused on astronomy, astrobiology and space science for students and educators, and the Center for Public Outreach, producing "Big Picture Science," the Institute's general science radio show and podcast, and "SETI Talks" weekly colloquium series.

The SETI Institute was incorporated as a 501(c) California nonprofit organization in 1984 by Thomas Pierson (former CEO), and Dr. Jill Tarter. Financial and leadership support over the life of the SETI Institute has included Carl Sagan, Bernard Oliver, David Packard, William Hewlett, Gordon Moore, Paul Allen, Nathan Myhrvold, Lewis Platt, and Greg Papadopoulos. Two Nobel Laureates have been associated with the SETI Institute: Charles Townes, key inventor of the laser, and the late Baruch Blumberg, who developed the Hepatitis B vaccine.

It is not supported by government funds.

Change SETI to YETI and they’d stand as much chance of finding it.

Has SETI ever thought other planets can’t be bothered with such minor sub-beings on this insignificant planet? Has SETI ever thought it might not be a good idea to ping big bad creatures on other planets who most likely would have the capability to zap us out of the universe?

omnidirectional transmitter ... what about a directional one? - one not aimed at the observers (us) - its a Dark Forest out there and giving away a position might have disastrous and fatal consequences for the senders ...
