Why don't you try to focus on possible UFOs near Earth maybe they could emit something. In France there is a strange report called "Rapport COMETA" about them ordered by the government.

Why don't you try to focus on earth-compatible planets that are or will be soon discovered?

How can you focus on something that hasn't been discovered yet. They do turn their listening devices toward planets that they think have earth like characteristics. The biggest problem is that they don't really know where else to look or even precisely what to look for.

Hello all,

ive got a question and dont ment to open a new Threat for it.

Has ever someone tryed to localise the most probably possible start and destination points of the large spacecraft that was maybe found by recieving the "wow"-signal? ok maybe the distance is unknown and meaned to be 200 LJ.
A problem could be the exact localisation. Telescops are searching in the same direction but what about the stars arround? i see a problem if we only search on star systems in 100 LJ distance

i hope someone understand what i mean.

There was no spacecraft involved with the "Wow" signal.

You can read about the signal

Sorry, not much help.

So, did wie got a "test-signal"
a signal that was not meaned to us and just was send in wrong direction
or was our position just in the direction, meaned to someone else and we just dont get ist again because the target has moved?

ok i found this
"Tau Sagittarii is a suspected double star although no companion has been confirmed yet. A lower metal content (Fe to H ratio is 70%) and a high peculiar velocity (64 km/s, 4x the local average) relative to the Sun suggest the star is a visitor from a different part of the Galaxy"

This way its maybe not a true doublestar and the orbits of planets could somehow be stable. it would be helpfull to know how long it was back that these Stars found together and when they maybe leave again.

Hi Relaisor :)

I found this reference to Tau Sagittarri possibly being a "wandering" star http://stars.astro.illinois.edu/sow/tausgr.html but nothing else so far that would answer your very interesting questions about it :( Sorry.

As for the "wow" signal... it's a puzzle :) One of the extra-terrestrial theories about why it's not been detected since, is that it was beamed in the way a lighhouse or searchlight might rotate, but if it was from an alien intelligence...

Scientists say that... they are likely to be an extremely advanced civilization, as the signal would have required a 2.2-gigawatt (2,200,000 kW) transmitter, vastly more powerful than any on Earth

...so your suggestions could be just as plausible... I think! :)

For all of the looking and listening we do I feel we won't discover any other intelligent beings until they want us to find them. This is not to say we shouldn't be looking because I think the looking and listening is a good pursuit. And just because the results so far are zero doesn't mean we are alone, it just means we either haven't looked in the right places yet or we don't have the proper tools to recognise an alien presence in the nearby regions of the galaxy.

There most likely is not any alien existence in the nearby regions of our galaxy.

There are not that many stars in 1000 light years from us that are main sequence, non-binaries. Additionally we have been listening for some 50 years now.

Hopefully we will concentrate on these near neighbors to look for the elusive " Truly Earth-like" planet. I also think that the first order of business would be to verify the existence of life having once started on Mars or perhaps on a moon in our own solar system. This would spur interest and dollars in supporting a wider search and SETI effort.

+100 and VERY good thinking! :)
