Not a Drill: SETI Is Investigating a Possible Extraterrestrial Signal From Deep Space

This has already been mentioned. You described her as an abused spouse.
Your post was in bad taste and inappropriate (comparing me to an abused spouse, really?). But I don't consider it an ad hominem attack which is why you didn't earn a warning. So get off that cross. Nothing happened.
Anyway: I think this is where we might want to stop the off-topic conversation.
If anybody (including myself) wants to continue this conversation: Take it to PM.
We owe that to the other people here.
Ok, I triple checked.
This still is the SETI thread, right?

Of course it is. I have no idea what you just saw.
And neither do you.

That's funny!
If only there were such a device.
ETA: What device?
ETA: What device?
How would you know if it were used on you?
Maybe we should be on the look out for an extraterrestrial message that will teach us how to make such a device.
You'd only have pleasant memories.
Depends ob if the guy attached to it introduced himself as J or K.
Edit: on that note, the signal in question was just swamp gas illuminated by light reflected of venus.
Nothing to see, move along!
Those damn saucer-shaped weather balloons!
Are they sending signals investigated by seti? If they are , we're back in business.
Bingo!
We know where to look in the case of our own probes of course.
Radio astronomy works fine. Then too, pulsars quasars--all these are likely far above the power of, say, a very weak SETI signal on its last legs. I wonder if the cells I saw on Science Channel about the heliopause could do something.
Now I'm not normally one who gets science from coast-to-coast AM, But Art Bell played an interesting tape from a fellow Ham who heard his own transmission reflected a good ten count later. I can't imagine how many traffic signs or stalled cars that had to bounce between to do that. Even moon-bounce signals get back faster. We see s'ferics with severe storms, whistlers, etc.
It still makes me wonder about the weakest of signals...
Have radio hams never heard of the Ionosphere and long delayed echoes (LDEs)?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_delayed_echo
However, the cause of some LDEs has in the past been attributed to an alien Bracewell probe from ε Boötis:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Lunan
Unfortunately, ε Boötis is thought to be less than 40 million years old.
Regarding our probes, I assume that their signals are the strength that we expect or someone would have investigated any anomalous attenuation -- much like as for the anomalous deceleration of Pioneer 10 and 11:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_anomaly
However, that's only my assumption.
Regarding the heliopause, I assume you mean the turbulence in the solar wind as it is slowed in the heliosheath. I assume any attenuation due to turbulent plasma would lead to scintillation. However, I don't know the likely frequency range or degree of attenuation that would be expected.

It looks exactly like any other star. It's likely that you would have trouble finding it without instructions.
