Humanity isn't ready to face the reality that we may not be alone. The search is too dangerous. Public fear is high when it comes to alien life. Seti should keep any possible contact info private until humans are ready to face other life without fear and panic.
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.
