Detecting Alien Signals


There has been a long history of signals which have been detected which could have been from an alien source. Most of them have been explained away but let me remind you most UFO sightings have also been explained away but this doesn’t mean the explanations were correct. Along with that long history of sounds we also have a long history of keeping secrets which means if we did find a signal from an alien source there is a good chance that fact might be hidden by making one of those excuses. One of the things I have wondered about was could there be more frequencies than we know. We believe there is a range of frequencies. This is created by a vibration which causes a wave in either a material, or an electromagnetic field. Basically, we believe in sound waves and all those other waves in the electromagnetic field such as light, radio and others.


We think where there is matter or energy there are frequencies, but what about dark matter? If there are frequencies caused by dark matter they haven’t been detected or if they have it is a big secret. Maybe there are advanced races in space who use frequencies generated by dark matter to send out signals figuring if a race or culture can detect these messages they themselves must be advanced enough to be worthy of communication with. There are also scientists who think there could be negative frequencies. Some have said a negative frequency travels forward but a positive frequency travels back. I don’t confess to understand negative frequencies but I am mentioning them to show there could be other types of signals we cannot detect.

SETI has been accused of detecting alien signals and covering this up. SETI receives donations from private individuals. Who is to say one or more of these donors could be a beard? What I am saying they could be covering the fact the funds are really from a government source and funneled through private individuals so as not to show government funding and yet let the government have some control over SETI in case they discover something important. One of the problems is the universe if full of signals. They come from many different bodies and even in places which seem empty. In 2016 a star system which was less than one hundred light years from earth was putting out a radio signal which suggested there was a chance of intelligent life there. The discovery was made by a group of Russian astronomers. The system had a star which was older than ours meaning there could be even older civilizations there. A discussion of the signal took place between the Russian scientists, an Italian scientist and SETI. It would have taken a society more advanced than ours to create this signal because of the amount of power needed. The signal is unresolved and even worse, it was not able to be detected again. What does all this mean?

So far, we seem to be putting all our efforts into frequencies which create audible sounds in equipment, but the spectrum of frequencies also includes light. Could we have been signaled with some sort of powerful laser or an even more powerful device? One source reported in 2008 a possible alien laser signal coming from Gliese 581 E. The signal became known as the Ragbir Bhathal Gliese Alien Signal after Ragbir Bhathal an award-winning author and astrophysicist who carried out research in Australia on it. The signal was inside what is considered noise. There are rules in place which state you can’t consider any signal an alien signal if you can’t find it after the first try.

One of the most promising signals ever received by SETI was the WOW signal. The signal was discovered on August 15, 1977. It was 11:16 pm and no one was at SETI. The instruments were on automatic. The signal had reached over 30 times the strength of the background. It lasted 38 seconds and at that time the Big Ear’s radio band took the same amount of time to transverse a point in the sky. SETI scientists have thought the most promising frequency for alien signals would be 1420 megahertz and that was the frequency of the signal. The printer started and recorded numbers and letters pertaining to the signal. A few days later a volunteer spotted the signal on a printout and what he found was 6 E Q U J 5. It might not mean anything to us, but it meant everything to him. He yelled out WOW and recorded this in the margin next to the signal and circled the signal. The scientists at SETI tried to find the signal again, but to no avail.

Some say the WOW signal couldn’t be found in the same spot because the Big Ear had picked up a signal from a UFO which was moving. Others claim it must have come from one of the many satellites circling the earth. The signal has been searched for, for many years by a data analyst named Bob Gray but he hasn’t been able to find it again. One would think if it came from a satellite we should be able to reacquire it. Gray built a radio telescope from castaway parts and donated parts which had the power to detect the WOW signal and he searched for it for over 15 years but never found it again.

Could there be some signal which is right in front of our noses but which we don’t have the ability to detect? Nothing is beyond reason when talking about space and aliens. It is like saying how come no one invented the paper clip for hundreds of years because we had paper and it is so simple a principle. There could be a simple way for detecting alien signals but we just haven’t thought of it or have equipment capable of finding it or have these pieces of equipment being used in other ways and don’t realize their full potential.
