I checked my Star Map and I have several strong signals by the Pisces constellation and in bewtween Pisces and Orion. One by Leo. Any idea what they are or could be?

Well, yes. I know there is a lot of static, but I was reffering to the stuff that matters. Too many staellites. ;-)

No UFO sighting took place before the advent of human flight. the correlation is shocking. Humans are misidentifying planes and weather ballons. If it weren't for crazy speculation about UFO's the History and SCIFI channels wouldn't have much to broadcast at night and on weekends.



Throughout history there have been documentations of things seen in the sky. The ancient Egyptians documented lights in the sky, the Bible is full of "sightings" if you will, the Greeks, Romans all have. Whether these were optical phenomena, meteors, comets, or "ET"... (maybe it was an angle?) The fact is that there are some things we see that we can't always explain.

As far a government cover-up, it's possible, but not probable. I'm sure the US has better conspiracies to cover up than Arecibo receving signals from other worlds.

Ok, (aside from the sun and gravity discussion, which is very interesting by the way...) we are just hearing signals that are being emitted from space. Correct? We haven't sent any out that have returned yet, right? So everything we are hearing comes from a star, pulsar, quasar, or (maybe someday) ET and other spacey goodness. Gotcha! When you work night, like I do, some crazy things pass through the brain and they don't always come out clearly, if that makes sense. ;-) Thanks for the great discussions everyone!

I was thinking about the signals we crunch numbers for and noticing the dates that they were received at Arecibo. For instance my task right now says it was received on Oct. 4, 2008. So when was that signal sent out? Doesn't it take years for it to reach deep space? And wouldn't it take years in return to receive it back? Just curious. I am sure this has been asked before.

You would think that actually seeing life, or a craft, from another world would be front page news. Yes, there are many hoaxes out there, but why keep a real siting a secret? What are these people and agencies trying to hide? Are they afriad of mass histeria? Are they afriad if they don't "take care of it" there will be some sort of invasion? I don't get why things are kept from the public for so long and when they are finally made public, it's too many years after the fact that no one really cares about it. The media is a joke like that. Just my two cents.

So I used the http://www.spaceweather.com/flybys/ website. That was very cool, thanks. According to this website I think I am seeing the International Space Station. It says it has a magnitude of -3 and it's flyby is around the times I was seeing this "thing." I really need to get a telescope back! ;-) Thanks for the great info everyone!

I live in Nebraska and every morning around 5:55-6:05am I see a satelllite passing over head. It's bigger than others I have seen with my naked eye, but it takes the same route, north to south, passing "near" the Orion constellation. I can't find anything that is around my area on those sites for those times I see this thing every morning. Anyone have any guesses?

Post:
Could it be a jett or sprite? I know these are caused by thunderstorms but can travel several miles into the atmosphere. They are most visible from high altitudes, like from a plane, or on top of a hill/mountain/ridge. Also, atmospheric optical illusions can be caused by volcano eruptions, storms, ice crystals, or polution and anything else. But like everyone else said, could be the northern lights. Sun storms also emit solar winds and radiation that can disrupt the atmosphere too. Anything is possible.

Post:
some of the task run on my pc is associated with Astropulse. Could someone please explain the differences?


here's all I know about it.

CPU Time: 54:49:00 To Completion: 61:02:00

This sucker is huge and its not the first one I have done.



Astropulse takes longer to complete than Multi Beam. No worries.

I was told by a friend of mine that the SETI@home project actually ended like 5 years ago.


Where the heck did he get that idea?

I was told by a friend of mine that the SETI@home project actually ended like 5 years ago. So... what exactly are we doing? Are our computers just sorting old data or are we doing work for real time projects? I was under the impression this was an on-going project, am I wrong? This bugs me.
