Scientists at the University of California-Berkeley have taken the first step in attempting to decipher signals they believe could have been sent by aliens.
New research from the university's Kepler team, a division of the Mountain View, Calif.-based Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project, suggests that certain radio signals picked up by the project's telescope may have been transmitted by extraterrestrials.
"These signals look similar to what we think might be produced from an extraterrestrial technology," researchers wrote on the project's website Friday.
"They are narrow in frequency, much narrower than would be produced by any known astrophysical phenomena, and they drift in frequency with time, as we would expect because of the Doppler effect imposed by the relative motion of the transmitter and the receiving radio telescope."
