Na. That's just experimenting to find the best stuffing.

That if it is alien.

Also if the aliens have such technology, what are the chances that the signal could be picked up on any technology we currently have?

That would be like someone with a heliograph trying to pick up a VIOP data packet. They would not even know the signal existed.

Last time we were sure there were alien signals, it was the lighthouse effect of a pulsar. But this looks indeed different.

Really, among those millions of millions of stars, the probability of other life (of any kind and whatever 'it' looks like) is pretty high.
But as Stanislav Lem said, the "window of contact" (time-and location-wise, to receive signals) is highly improbable.

I just hope, if there ever IS a contact, it will not be screwed up by some "great" military human minds

I think I hear General Decker from Mars Attacks!

The message referenced a document of theirs entitled "how to serve man."

I don't think we have anything to worry about.

So, let's say it is an alien message, and, let's say, earth scientists decipher and translate the message; what if the message says something like:

"Greetings:

I am an Alpha/Centurian prince and I am in need of your assistance in reclaiming my due inheritance..."...

Those are old messages due to the distance.
Newer technology developed by the Aliens sends faster signals that have out paced the older.

Haven't you gotten the "Your Walmart $153 dollar Gift Card is about to expire!" Messages yet?

My personal favorites are messages warning or telling me about problems with my accounts in banks or stores with whom I have no accounts...

They have solved it now they now where these mysterious signal came from

Who would have thought that ?

The source of puzzling radio wave bursts detected by two of the world's largest telescopes has been found, and the answer turns out to come from the research facilities' tea rooms, not extragalactic space
