SETI@Home Publishes Skymap

Posted by michael on from the long-distance-call dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The skymap of where in the night sky to find the most promising SETI@Home signals is reported today, along with the research plan for the March Stellar Countdown project. The dedicated use of the Arecibo Telescope to revisit these spikes, pulses, and steady signals, focused on 166 star candidates. Those 166 were pruned from the five billion signals that have been found since 1999, depending on the signal's persistence, closeness to a known star, and frequency. The next step is particularly fascinating, if a signal appears to have increased since the first observation put that star on the checklist."

    As spamming techniques get ever more sophisticated I confidently expect my currently under construction clinic to be innundated with aliens looking for penis and tentacle (I dont want to discriminate) enlargement.

    What about all the historical cases of UFO sightings?

    What about all the cases of people seeing images of Jesus in condensation on windows, or stuff like that? People will see what they want to believe.
