There are many methods that SETI scientific teams use to search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Many of these search billions of radio frequencies that flood the universe, looking for another civilization that might be transmitting a radio signal. Other SETI teams search by looking for signals in pulses of light emanating from the stars. SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet- connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data collected from the radio telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The project is co-sponsored by The Planetary Society and the University of California, Berkeley. RECENT FINDINGS Recently, the SETI@Home project and the millions of users who donate processor cycles to the effort, began receiving initially anomalous spikes in their downloaded work units. The spikes were spurious at first; however, after reviewing more than 10 million spikes the scientists in both Arecibo and Berkeley began detecting a repeating pattern of 0's and 1's. THE PATTERN The pattern, initially considered to be random background noise, has repeated itself thousands of times during the last year. The pattern is: 101101010101011010101011011010101101011010101011010110101010101010 Initially, the pattern was discarded by scientists as an anomaly until William F. Friedman, a noted cryptologist, recognized a pattern similar to one that he had repeated while attending a recent seminar on computer operating systems of the next generation. The pattern is the binary representation of the mantra that was repeated by the seminar attendees. A WELL ROUNDED BOYHOOD Friedman credits his young life as a Boy Scout with his ability to break the alien code. He recognized the pattern as a Morse code signal. The single 1's represent dots, double 1's represent dashes. The 0's are separators. Recalling the code he learned many decades before, Friedman was able to quickly interpret the alien code as the truth it is: "Linux Rules." Call for Comments What do you think?
