walker 0 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Hi all I am sure all you SETI watchers know about this. Gliese 581g is newly "discovered" but not confirmed planet in the Goldilocks zone around a red dwarf star about 20 light years away in the Libra constellation. What I had not heard was that there was a claimed laser pulse like light flash from this direction two years earlier. Claim of Alien Signal from Planet Gliese 581g Called ‘Very Suspicious’by Denise Chow, SPACE.com Staff Writer Date: 11 October 2010 Time: 11:09 AM ET The recent discovery of Gliese 581g, an alien planet in the habitable zone of another star, has been an exciting development for scientists probing the galaxy for signs of extraterrestrial life. At least one claim of a possible signal from the planet has already surfaced ? and been met with harsh skepticism among the science community. Following the Sept. 29 announcement of the discovery of Gliese 581g, astronomer Ragbir Bhathal, a scientist at the University of Western Sydney, claimed to have detected a suspicious pulse of light nearly two years ago, that came from the same area of the galaxy as the location of Gliese 581g, according to the U.K.'s Daily Mail online... As always follow the link to the original article in fullhttp://www.space.com/9303-claim-alien-signal-planet-gliese-581g-called-very-suspicious.html I am skeptical of the laser flash report but if the planet is confirmed and it is in the Goldilocks zone it at least adds more positive data to the Drake equation.

maddogx 13 Posted February 21, 2011 )rStrangelove;1860236']A laser pulse? Isnt that like they wanted to shoot us? Only if they were much closer and the laser was highly focussed. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-)rStrangelove 0 Posted February 21, 2011 Only if they were much closer and the laser was highly focussed. ;) Haha. They probably just wanted to measure the correct distance before the actual shot. Reminds me of the laser-targetting of the Abrams. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
