Professor Simon Holland stated recently that Seti@home did find a signal back in 1999. What is his statements referring to exactly? Did we find something but it wasn't shared? Any more confirmation since? |

Professor Simon Holland stated recently that Seti@home did find a signal back in 1999. What is his statements referring to exactly? Did we find something but it wasn't shared? Any more confirmation since?I think Prof Holland refered to the BLC1 signal received by the Breakthrough Listen SETI project in 2019. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLC1 On 25 October 2021, researchers published two studies concluding that the signal is unlikely to be a technosignature due to its similarity to previously detected terrestrial interference. |

The BOINC Synergy SETI@home screensaver is featured in this inaccurate conspiracy theory video involving SETI@home. Part 1: https://youtu.be/-FSkiLqLx60 Part 2: https://youtu.be/WUTDRvnv0VY |

I confused 1999 with the Wow! signal, but also thought a gaussian should be narrowband but perhaps wrong. Edit: I am more concerned about witness description (or testimony) because it is that we should prove. |

The best explanation (in layman's terms) of the seti@home science they ever wrote: https://seticlassic.ssl.berkeley.edu/about_seti/about_seti_at_home_4.html and: https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_glossary/gaussians.php ...and Kudos to the people at Berkeley who respect Tim Berners-Lee's wisdom: Cool URIs don't change. |
