So Mrs Lieberman was just receiving a signal? Well, good for her.

That would be just like humans to miss the phone call :)

You can lend your computer's CPU to aid SETI's search for extraterrestrial life by downloading the SETI At Home software

I get a kick out of SETI and the ET crowd. Don't get me wrong, I love science fiction, but I just refuse to believe that other world beings have visited this planet and have no left a single credible shred of evidence behind.

I don't believe the government is capable of completely covering it up either. We've seen how incompetent government is when it tries to do anything else, there's no way evidence of aliens could be completely contained, yet apparently it is, or there are no other lifeforms out there (intelligent that is).

The Universe is MAN'S playground, given to us by the L-rd Himself.

...before I left home for what I expected would be a three-hour tour of your troubled little planet, I inadvertantly left my Jansky switched on.

Sorry.

It's actually a message saying "Send more Chuck Berry"

The famous Wow signal was found as part of a long-running sky survey conducted with Ohio State University’s "Big Ear" radio telescope.

Perhaps they were listening to the only WOW Radio signal that there is...

"I have no idea what's going on..."

[Sir Gawain]

Like, WOW

The signal read, "Michigan by 6."

. . .(in the constellation of Sagittarius) where the "Big Ear" was pointing when it found the ‘Wow’ signal.

I've always wondered about this since the galactic center happens to lie in the direction of Sagittarius. In other words, was the 'Big Ear' telescope pointed right at the galactic core that night? I've never heard.

Of course, it could be just a coincidence. But there are lots of mega-energetic things going on in the vicinity of the galactic core that we don't understand and rather than attributing 'Wow' to ET, we've got to keep in mind that the signal may have a previously undiscovered natural origin. (Just don't ask me how a natural phenomenon could emit a narrow-band burst!)

Either way, natural or artificial, it was a pretty nifty observation. Too bad they can't duplicate it. I'm glad they're not giving up.
