Science I don’t understand ping.

[BigEdLB]

Richard Dreyfuss and his friends..

[Snickering Hound]

[Slyfox]

Detected.

[rightwingcrazy]

The aliens could mask their ship’s warp signature by remodulating its plasma injectors. Everybody knows that.

[bigbob]

Spock was doing that over 40 years ago

[Sacajaweau]

Oh thank God.

This has been on my mind for the last two weeks...almost like a vision.

P.S. They're very tall

[I want the USA back]

So if someone detects gamma rays he can say that it shows there was a spaceship. Keeps the grant money flowing.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Assuming there are aliens out there.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

You probably mean doing that in 400 years from now. lol

[CharlesOConnell]

And how will this interact with relativity? Star Trek maintained the unreality of simultaneity. Any ship we detect could be millions of years old.

[AlaskaErik]

How about technology to detect illegal aliens crossing into the US.

[Vaduz]

I didn’t know Tommy Chong worked at Raytheon.

[Caipirabob]

Yes, in Steven Spielberg's vision of aliens they are all touchy-feely pervs!

"The music! It translates as 'chickenhawk'! Why do you think they are naked!!!"

“The aliens could mask their ship’s warp signature by remodulating its plasma injectors. Everybody knows that.”

Unless you use the same stoiciometric ratio on the after burners you’re just wasting your time.

[Caipirabob]

"Phasers set to 'fabulous', sir..."

[PIF]

Nice concept, but can detect only craft from same or similar tech level to ours. Everybody else uses FTL drives of different sorts. The really high civilizations, just step through from place/world to place/world.

[maddog55]

To late, aliens are already here

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Spock was doing that over 40 years ago

But light signals associated with that event will not reach our galaxy for another four gigaparsecs (sic ;).
