Astrum Space
The Universe's Most Powerful Explosions

The search for alien life is a difficult one. How would we know that aliens exist? An obvious answer would be if they visited our planet en masse. If, like in the film Independence Day, their sources floated above every city in the world. Or perhaps if their envoys met with us, shaking hands with our world leaders, while cameras broadcasted the moment on national television.

Or maybe if they started trading with us and their inventions and resources began appearing in our everyday life. There is, fortunately or unfortunately, not much evidence that this has ever happened. But while visits from aliens would certainly be preferable, that's not the only possible way aliens could prove their existence to us.

It's much more plausible that they would do so with their signals. We've spent a lot of time on this channel discussing some of the reasons why aliens might not have talked to us. But on the flip side, what are the strongest pieces of evidence that they have already done so? Which signals are considered the best candidate so far for a message from an alien civilization?

I'm Alex McColgan and you're watching Astrum. And rather than explain why we haven't heard from aliens, today let's look at where perhaps we already have. NatĂŒrlich, wenn es um Alien-Signale geht, gibt es ein bisschen AmbiguitĂ€t, was wir genau suchen. Aliens sind, nach allem, Alien.

Wir sind nicht ganz sicher, was von ihnen zu erwarten ist, da sie wahrscheinlich in anderen Bedingungen entwickelt werden, als unsere eigenen, und vielleicht auch kulturelle Ausgleiche haben, die fĂŒr sie perfekten Sinn machen, aber fĂŒr uns komplett abschleppend sind. Ihre Definition eines guten Weges, den Universum zu begrĂŒĂŸen, könnte sehr anders sein als unsere.

Forscher, die auf mögliche Signale von anderen Planeten schauen, mĂŒssen sehr offen sein, was ein extraterrestrisches Signal aussehen könnte. Aber das bedeutet, dass solche Signale sich mit Signalen aus natĂŒrlichen Ressourcen verwirklichen, die wir noch nicht verstehen. Wie können wir die Unterschiede erzĂ€hlen? Schauen wir uns ein paar Beispiele an, um euch zu zeigen, was ich meine.

In 2019, als Teil der Breakthrough-Listen-Initiative, war das Parks-Mariang-Teleskop in Australien Proxima Centauri, der Star, die nahest zu uns ist. It was recording data to learn more about stellar flares. But when SETI researchers, a collective term for the search for extraterrestrial life, went over the data it had collected sometime later, they found something unusual.

A signal, which later came to be known as BLC-1. Could the star closest to our own actually harbor advanced alien life? The signal was fascinating, as it could not easily be explained away by conventional sources. It lasted for several hours, which is longer than the time it normally takes a human satellite to pass by overhead. It had signal drift.
