Just heard on the morning news that scientists have received new radio signals from space. The signals have been picked up three times at a “receiver in Puerto Rico” (I assume they mean Arecibo?) The talking head said that scientists said that the signals were “in a form that an alien might use to contact us”. I didn’t hear where the signals were supposedly coming from, and I didn’t see a link on MSNBC.

Anyone hear about this?

I didn’t want to log on at work, but I had to adress this.

In fact, I _was_ out on the highways yesterday! 😃

I really hope it’s not Jodi Foster’s father.
