<EFBFBD> ARE SCIENTISTS EAVESDROPPING ON E.T.? <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> SAN FRANCISCO, June 8, XMT - Scientists searching for <20>
<EFBFBD>signs of other intelligent life in the universe said on <20>
<EFBFBD>Tuesday they had analysed trillions of radio signals from <20>
<EFBFBD>space and found only 164 worthy of further investigation. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> ``Are we hearing E.T. phoning home? It depends on how <20>
<EFBFBD>E.T. is doing the phoning,'' said Stuart Bowyer, astronomy <20>
<EFBFBD>professor at the University of California at Berkeley, <20>
<EFBFBD>referring to the popular movie character. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> ``If they have a really advanced technological system, <20>
<EFBFBD>in which it's a TV set and a transmitter..., yeah, maybe,'' <20>
<EFBFBD>he said. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> But Dan Werthimer, project scientist for the Berkeley <20>
<EFBFBD>team carrying out the search, said it was highly unlikely <20>
<EFBFBD>that the radio signals were the product of extraterrestrial <20>
<EFBFBD>civilisations, adding that they were more likely the result <20>
<EFBFBD>of human-made interference, such as planes flying overhead. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> However, the scientists aim to examine the 164 strong <20>
<EFBFBD>``candidate'' signals more closely, Werthimer said. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> The team was at an American Astronomical Society meeting <20>
<EFBFBD>in Berkeley to report on the first year of Berkeley's <20>
<EFBFBD>SERENDIP (Search for ExtraTerrestrial Radio Emissions from <20>
<EFBFBD>Nearby Developed Intelligent Populations) project. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> The project is one of several under way around the world <20>
<EFBFBD>trying to find signs of other intelligent civilisations. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> The Berkeley team said that in its first year, its <20>
<EFBFBD>search for extraterrestrial radio signals had covered more <20>
<EFBFBD>space than all previous searches combined. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> Using the world's largest radio-telescope in Puerto <20>
<EFBFBD>Rico, the project has analysed 30 trillion radio signals. <20>
<EFBFBD>Much of the data is sent directly to Berkeley for analysis. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> The idea behind the project is that, in the same way <20>
<EFBFBD>that humans are sending radio signals out into space from <20>
<EFBFBD>television and other sources, another civilisation might be <20>
<EFBFBD>likely to do the same. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> ``Since radio waves travel at the speed of light, they <20>
<EFBFBD>offer a very fast, efficient method of communication. The <20>
<EFBFBD>hope is that other intelligent civilisations are either <20>
<EFBFBD>leaking radio waves from their own communications, or <20>
<EFBFBD>are sending out a signal on purpose -- either directly to <20>
<EFBFBD>us, or an omni-directional 'Is anyone out there?' kind of <20>
<EFBFBD>signal,'' Werthimer said. <20>
