That's because every time a new astronomical discovery is made that cannot immediately be explained somebody ALWAYS says it must be ET. Personally, because I am unable to find a flaw in the Great Flter argument, I would be devastated if we detected ET; it would mean the civilization we received a radio message from would have almost certainly been destroyed by now, and the future of the human race is likely to be very bleak indeed. I like to think the reason we haven't detected any other civilization already is because we are the first, not because we just haven't encountered the mysterious civilization destroying phenomenon yet that every intelligent species always eventually finds itself facing.

There is no known mechanism by which a Black Hole or a Neutron Star could produce radio waves and nothing else, much less highly circularly polarized radio waves. > neutron stars falling into the alleged AGN, active galactic nucleus to > perform just as you have described. That would produce massive amounts of X-Rays and Gamma Rays as well as visible light, but there was none, only an intense burst of circularly polarized radio waves emanating from a very compact object at irregular times.
