SETI has actually recieved signals of non terrestrial orgin...THIS IS HUGE....i almost couldnt bring myself to go to the link simply because i was afraid it wasn't real. I only hope that this gets mainstream attn.
GREAT!!!!FIND!!!!

Not true at all actually infact it is more likely that if SETI is receiving signals just starting to hit Earth from elseware in the universe. It is also likely that if they did use radio and i say did because no one takes into account how long it would indeed take for radio waves to travel from one star to the next. Well then it is likely that at the time of the broadcasts their technology was about as good as ours or less. Take into account that it could take hundreds if not thousands of years for these signals to hit Earth....
What this means is essentially that they used what we use now centuries or even millenia ago. Think of how far they could have came in that time.
It is very unlikely that microwaves or radio waves would be used for communication over great distances. Infact the future of communication will be 'quantum nonlocality' communication which unfortunatly would no be receivable by SETI or any other current Earth based technology. It is how ships will communicate once we start seeding the galaxy.
No advanced civilization capable of going from one star to the next will use radio comm links. It is simply to inefficient for communication over distances that measure in light years. It would take to long where as quantum nonlocality can be used over great distances in real time. It will truly be the future of communications for humanity anywhere in the universe. If super advanced aliens need to communicate with one another it is likely this is what they would use.

What if it isn't?
There is the assumption that whoever is out there is more advanced than we are. While I'm personally convinced that there are civilisations out there who are way ahead of us, its also possible that there are those who are 15-20 years ahead, at the same level or even 50-60 years behind.
Also - lets not all fall into the trap of thinking "they are way ahead of us" because its entirely possible that WE are head of someone else.
Its also possible for a race to be only just in front of us in real terms and crossing interstellar distances - who knows what advances we'll have made in 15-20 years?

What if its the alien equivalent of TV?

In case any are interested, here is the link to a seti page, that lists all the possible contacts that they have had so far...
there are apparently some signals that are awaiting confirmation/refutation still, because they could not be eliminated as a terrestrial source...
so perhaps there is already a contact, that steve greer isn't even refering to?
