When it comes to signals from outer space, I prefer wild speculation. I think this guy had something to do with it.

SETI volunteer researchers tend to be very enthusiastic until they learn about free space path loss and the MASSIVE transmission power required to get a signal over even short inter-stellar distances... Then they find a new hobby.

Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo, third officer reporting. The other members of the crew - Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash, and Captain Dallas - are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.

The problem I see with this is that Electromagnetic waves continue to expand even if transmitted from high gain antennas so that by the time they reach earth from even only 4 light years away, I don’t think we have equipment sensitive enough to detect them. If I am wrong, clue me in.

I felt a disturbance in the force. We are receiving a notice from a few billions years ago. It translated to “Our planet is coming to an end, we are seeking mankind, we want to serve you.”

Well, Lottsa “Scientists” can find a Gorbal Warning Signal in weather station data and teleconnected tree ring data too.

Neither does it imply friendly. One of these days, we’re going to roll out the welcome mat to space thugs.

Re: “...the star was observed for 10 minutes...”
Re: “Well, then why did they not continue observing it? Shift-change?”
A planet Earth “shift change,” actually.
The Arecibo Observatory dish cannot move.
It is essentially “glued” on to one small spot on the Earth.
When the Earth moves (rotates, revolves, precession, wobbles), the telescope moves.

They’re not signals unless somebody or something is actually sending them.
