I can't remember ever seeing an output like that:
it was as if someone had rolled a ball through the graphical output...
Throughout the entire run on that task, that very low power signal was marking a clear trail.

What does that mean? Alien chat? A fly on the antenna?? A black hole???

"the SETI@home screensaver normalizes the graph" so it's not 'very low power signal' but is probably normal noise surrounded by strong 'signals' (and very strong 'signals' are very probably very near (terrestrial)).

I'm wondering if he saw the dip in the signal. Thats normal and found routinely. IIRC its part of the WU production

Hi,

It was much weirder than that image... VERY flat in the middle (diagonal), and normal signal around, just like a path. Came over and over, in different directions during the run...

I so regret not screen shooting it... :(

It naturally means that is the location where the extraterrestrial signals were located, but the aliens removed them as not to be detected.

If it were totally flat. It could have been something like the data recorder not receiving any information from the telescope or something.

For what you've seen, is that for a WU at the base frequency 1.42000... GHz?

Look anything like on this thread: explain what this is...

?

Similar to that, yes...
But it looked even flatter, like near ==0. With very steep edges around the flat area. Like someone had skied right through.
I can't believe I didn't screenshot it, or remember id or something.
