I am an IT professional and amateur astronomer living in the ABQ area. I am frequently asked if I have seen any UFOs while out observing. Unfortunately, I have not - but I do believe they exist. Hopefully SETI will find some evidence! It is exciting to process SETI@home work units, especially from project "Breakthrough - Listen".
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
SETI@home is a great project, and it is exciting to be a part of it. I am hoping that more citizen science projects continue to be created and made available to those who wish to participate.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
