Well, it might be aliens. Then again, in the tradition of Pogo it might just be us, led astray by our own technology.

A story in Britain’s Guardian newspaper today (December 18) reports that astronomers with the Breakthrough Listen Project – the comprehensive radio SETI search being run out of the University of California at Berkeley – has detected radio emissions from the direction of Proxima Centauri. That’s the closest star system to us, a mere 4.2 light-years away, and it’s known to be accompanied by at least two planets.

The signal was picked up by the Parkes 210-foot radio telescope in sheep country about 190 miles inland from Sydney, Australia. Because Proxima Centauri is only visible in the southern sky, you need a “down under” telescope to observe it.

Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about a recent detection of an unusual radio signal referred to as BLC-1 that seems to point at a technosignature coming from Proxima Centauri...But it's also probably not.
