Yeah, I have to say 'fake'.

If you listen to the end of the audio it definitely sounds like it not only has structure but melody. SOunds to me like a piece of music that's been severly messed with.

What? Alien beings can't be into music? That's what could be amazing should the thing be, gulp, real! That they're music fans! Would not surprise me one bit anyway!

Uh, anyone of SETI experience, can you shed some light on this?

So how did the file just 'download' to your computer?

Did a windows pop up come up and say Save/Run/Cancel? Did it save it in your My Music folder?

Are you sure you had your Norton Firewall up and running? Surely an alien race would have been thwarted by this and perplexed by its unbreakable firewall capabilities.

I've been running Seti@Home (over 50,000 packets in the old days) and BOINC (over 9000 units so far), and it's never requested something to be saved.

I'm a stern believer that we are not alone in our galaxy, and many races of aliens have already been here (but that's another story). Maybe Seti someday will find something... but not today.

Radact, it didn't dload to MY computer -- I found it on youtube. Surprised this thread hasn't gotten more attention, the usual round of "FAKE!" Or something else..... I like to believe people before calling them liars and this is too wild to leave alone. Anyone w/ some thoughts?

...and I still think this deserves a double-take since it COULD be real...

This is simply a piece of music being distorted in: Audacity/Soundforge/Cool Edit - It's nothing more.

They used very few filters too.

Convolution
Distortion -> Overdrive
Time Stretch -> resample/solo instrument (lots of echo, and meshing)
Hard Limiting

and that's most likely it.

I have to agree, it's sounds like distorted music at the end. I don't understand why this would be from SETI or how it was injected.

I agree. Sounds like a death metal song that's been seriously messed with in audio editing software to me...
