Strong Signal From Sun-Like Star Sparks Alien Speculation

"The signal from HD 164595 is intriguing, because it comes from the vicinity of a sun-like star, and if it's artificial, its strength is great enough that it was clearly made by a civilization with capabilities beyond those of humankind," astronomer Douglas Vakoch, president of METI International, which searches for life beyond Earth, tells CNN.

Whenever a strong signal is detected, "it's a good possibility for some nearby civilization to be detected," Maccone tells CNN.

But experts say it is highly unlikely to be a message from alien beings.

"Without corroboration from an independent observatory, a putative signal from extraterrestrials doesn't have a lot of credibility," Vakoch says.

Only a matter of time....

The bolded is quite an understatement.

Apparently - terrestrial.

 

Turns out the signal astronomers saw was “strong” because it came from Earth | Ars Technica

Apparently - terrestrial.

This is why it is silly to announce this type of thing without independent verification.
