Universe Today - Strange Radio Signals Detected from a Nearby Star

scientists from the Arecido Observatory recently announced the detection of a strange radio signal coming from Ross 128 - a red dwarf star system located just 11 light-years from Earth. As always, this has fueled speculation that the signal could be evidence of an extra-terrestrial civilization, while the scientific community has urged the public not to get their hopes up.

The discovery was part of a campaign being conducted by Abel Mi(C)ndez - the director of the Planetary Habitability Laboratory (PHL) in Peurto Rico - and Jorge Zuluaga of the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences at the University of Antioquia, Colombia.
