I know we may not always know a signal when we see one, but what are some ideas to what a signal may look like. I have seen something interesting, I dont know what it was, or if it was a part of the program or not, but I have only seen it once in the 6 months that I have had the program. |

what a signal may look like It will be written in ALL CAPS ;) The only 'large, friendly letters' I know of are "DON'T PANIC": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrases_from_The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#Don.27t_Panic  - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)  |

It will be written in ALL CAPS ;) Nah, that would be FORTRAN ;-) Gruß, Gundolf |

I see no reason to suppose ET would use an alphabet. He might use an ideogram or a hieroglyph. Tullio |

Try reading "Contact" by Carl Sagan - an oldie but a goodie and a direct answer to your speculation |
