Where are all the aliens? Maybe space weather is scrambling their transmissions

SETI may have missed alien signals because of space weather

SETI has spent decades listening for a sharp, well-defined radio signal that could indicate it was sent by distant intelligent life. Now researchers believe that space weather could distort and blur such signals – meaning SETI has been scanning for the wrong thing

Where are all the aliens? Maybe space weather is scrambling their transmissions

We may be missing alien radio signals because they have become smeared beyond the narrowband detectors that SETI utilizes, a new study suggests.

Stellar ‘Space Weather’ Could Be Blurring Radio Signals from Extraterrestrial Civilizations

Stellar activity and plasma turbulence could distort narrow radio signals before they leave their home planetary systems, potentially explaining part of the long silence in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

Why Space Weather Could Have Caused SETI to Overlook Alien Signals

Is there anyone there? NASA/SDO Recent studies suggest that solar winds may have obstructed our ability to receive signals from intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations. Researchers from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute indicate that we might be searching for the wrong types of signals, leading to the potential oversight of crucial evidence of alien life.
