my work unit has found a strange signal? The data collected here are: Best Pulse: 2.2 period: 04170 score: 1.6 score more than 1 in doc he says it's a good sign and the graph is a unique line work unit is 16au15aaa.... what kind of signal? nothing to worry about is it normal? |

Srange? Maybe, but it needs to go through a lot of steps before it is confirmed as being Mr.Little Green Man. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

strange signals near the constellation of Sagittarius, my software has found 2 triples and 6 pulse beyond the score: 1 coordinates are 19 hr 43 '' 31 '' |

Nothing at all "strange" in any of what you've posted, just a single peak, which needs to be correlated with other data from the same area of the sky, the same frequency etc before it can be considered even a little bit strange.

but in fact with another work unit in that area I had 4 triples and 6 pulse, or so I reported the software |

We all get them. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sci_status.html What happens next, is that the results are run through another process, which has not been working lately to shift out possible candidates. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_forum.php?id=830 Once we have identified a possible target, we take another data sample, analyze that, and see if it repeats. The verification process for any given signal is very stringent. The scientists running the project want to make sure we have something valid before we alert the world.
