Default Is there anybody out there??

Astronomer claims to have detected a 'signal' from the area of that recently discovered 'habitible' planet. It is of course highly disputed but makes for a fun 'what if'.

There's nothing suspicious about someone reporting a signal being detected.

It's when they DON'T report it that you know they're lying.

Don't believe it.

I might have if this guy said two years ago he detected a pulse of light from Gliese 581.

Everyone and his brother are going to be jumping on the Gliese 581 bandwagon now, just you watch.
