> Friday February 08 2008 - Good Morning America - ABC News 'Are We Alone in Outer Space?' . . . Dr. Dan Wertheimer's Interview Regarding SETI Project Friday's special edition of Good Morning America may look like something out of The Twilight Zone. "GMA Defies Gravity" is a "firsthand look at life in space as well as the possibility of life on other planets and the realities of living in zero gravity", according to ABC. < another News Item: February 3rd 2008 - 'SETI Battle of the Bandwidth: Beatles Outsignaled by Bob Marley' - Author: Leonard David

New York Times: "Please Call Earth. We Still Haven’t Found You." Well, in Italy there is no cable TV and it is full of powerful TV antennas. But what they transmit is not exactly what would make me proud of being Italian. So maybe ETs are getting a wrong idea of humans! Tullio |

In the May 2008 issue of Astronomy Magazine - Could changing channels tune into alien civilizations? A vast antenna farm in the Australian Outback may pick up the equivalent of talk radio and TV from other solar systems. Talks about the Murchison Wide-Field Array (MWA) as well as the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) in Europe. Also touches on the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) slated for construction in either Australia or southern Africa. me@rescam.org |

Possible new idea. I know that SETI already has a project in the works to search for light beams from laser sources. What if an ET civilization was able to use their own Star, or A Star, for communication purposes? Perhaps a sort of giant transparent lcd satellite that orbited at just the right distance to maximize broadcast area and regularity. Or perhaps a polarized gas cloud that reacts to an electric charge. Or perhaps a device installed into a Star that allows the user to darken the light purposefully to communicate in a form of binary as we do with fiber optics and electronics. I think this would be a much easier, simpler and affordable way to have interstellar communication. What would we do if we knew that extinction was imminant? Besides do everything we could to survive we would probably want to leave proof of our existence. Turning your home Star into a memorial would probably be the best way to achieve a long term legacy. I think we should be looking at the Stars themselves to see if they are speaking to us. They could be dimly blinking a code to us right now like a smoke signal or a flashing light. Also, we should be designing a device that could communicate in this fashion. Perhaps 4 satellites that are orbiting in formation holding a membrane that darkens and lightens with an electric charge. |

01-05-2009 The Korea Times I know this is a bit of a necro, but the article had this interesting quote at the end: "Currently, the world’s most ambitious SETI project is SETI@home, by the University of California, Berkeley, which relies on five million volunteers using their computers to scan data received from the Aercibo telescope and seven other giant telescopes around the world." Seven other giant telescopes? That's news to me. :) You will be assimilated...bunghole! |
