The Breakthrough Listen Team has detected several unusual signals and is carefully investigating. These signals are likely interference that we cannot fully explain. Further analysis is currently being undertaken

Read what we said! No one is claiming it’s A techno signature. We are in the process of following the agreed protocols. At this point we have some interesting signals we believe are interference but as of yet have not been able to track down the source.

Great day talking about extra-terrestrial life, interstellar space travel and other crazy ideas with Pete @worden, chairman @brkthroughprize. Loads of good stuff for my “What is Extra-Terrestrial Life?” lecture @DIAS_Dublin on Thursday.

BSRC researcher Brian Lacki wondered what would happen if a civilization tried to build megastructures around as many stars in their galaxy as they could. The results were surprisingly counterintuitive.

Breakthrough Listen's observations of fast radio burst 121102 helps us understand its environment & train AI to find new bursts. Now we're releasing almost 400 TB of data at breakthroughinitiatives.org/… for anyone with technical skills to examine. Details at seti.berkeley.edu/blog/frb-d…

Our team just published the results of a search for laser lines from Tabby's Star in @PASPJournal - we're particularly proud of this one because the first author was a high school student when he interned with us last summer seti.berkeley.edu/blog/apf-p… youtu.be/H4R0LZo-_8I

As someone who can be particular about travel and has always challenged the status quo, I am all for making the church taller! Thanks for the brilliant article, Avi Loeb.

With deep sadness we note the passing of Paul Allen, the founder of modern-age privately funded SETI work. You will be missed.
