a SETI Institute Announcement scheduled for Oct.17

[dqueue]

Friend of mine just pinged me asking if I'd heard about an announcement from SETI scheduled for tomorrow morning... to which I replied, "No." I received a <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.spaceref.com/calendar/calendar.html?pid=4200">link to Spaceref.com</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> with the announcement teaser, but I see no further info.<br><br>My friend hears they've found a potential signal via the seti @ home project; they're going to report the findings and give precise coordinates so others may tune in to confirm the signal... <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=dqueue>dqueue</A> at: 10/17/06 6:50 am<br></i>

back in July,Steven Greer claimed that SETI had received multiple E.T. signals,which were now being blocked.I heard about it from James Gilliland on the Art Bell show on 22 july.A quick search threw this up,theres a short video at the bottom of the page.<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.alienvideo.net/seti-makes-contact.php" target="top">Greer on E.T. signals.</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <br><br>quoting Greer from the above article-<br>"We have confirmation - and I'm not going to give the name yet because we are trying to coax this guy out of the closet - but one of the senior people in the SETI project, which is the Carl Sagan Search for Extraterrestrial (Intelligence) project, has confirmed to the Disclosure Project that they have received multiple extraterrestrial signals," Greer said. <br>"but that now they are getting external human, probably NRO or NSA jamming of those signals and they are getting very frustrated. "<br>Greer continued, "The question is why hasn't the SETI project, funded by Paul Alan the co-founder of Microsoft, come forward with this information? I'm a little uncomfortable even mentioning this, except for the fact that the public needs to know that this effort, which has received a great deal of mainstream media attention, has actually confirmed to us from two inside sources that they have received extraterrestrial signals and have confirmed them as being extraterrestrial and that they have become increasing in frequency and number." <br><br>Maybe Greer has coaxed the insider to come forward,and this is SETI diluting their claims. <p></p><i></i>

From that Spaceref link:<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Editor's update: for all of you out there who have been waving your arms around and speculating, this is not an announcement about finding a signal from ETs, the face on Mars, or anything else. It is far more mundane. Details of the announcement were released - under press embargo - to reporters last week. A press release about the announcement will be issued on Tuesday by the SETI Institute.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <p></p><i></i>

I used to run seti@home back in the late 90s, I haven't bothered with it in years, a couple weeks ago I got an email at the same old address after not hearing from them in years. It was just offering installation instructions.<br>Perhaps they're just on a recruitment drive, but would be nice if it turns out to be something significant. <p></p><i></i>

[pepsified thinker]

Dang. That woulda been something. <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Carl Sagan Center Formed to Study Life in the Universe<br><br>Mountain View, CA– The Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe is being established at the SETI Institute in Silicon Valley to sustain a long-term commitment for research into age-old questions such as, "Are we Alone?"<br><br>"Understanding the origin, evolution and distribution of life in the universe, a field often called Astrobiology, is one of the most important endeavors of the science community and all humanity," said<br><br>"The proposed 50-percent cut in the NASA Astrobiology budget for 2007 is a clear reminder of how volatile government support for science can be,'' said Hubbard, former director of NASA Ames Research Center. "Our immediate goal is to raise $4-6M over the next 3 years so that we can sustain our top researchers. The longer term vision is to establish endowed chairs and create additional laboratory capabilities," Hubbard stated. As the Sagan Chair, Hubbard will provide ongoing strategic guidance for the new Center.<br><br>10:00 - 11:00 am PDT<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Greer's a spy.
