SETI at home - Three years and 1397 possible signs of life
With members numbering over 3.5 million the SETI at home project has been returning steady results over the past three years. The project is closing in on the 1 million year CPU milestone and has produced over 470 million results. The S@H team has started sifting through those results to identify possible final candidates for further investigation. The most recent newsletter points out there are 1397 persistent Gaussian signals which represent the best candidates for Extraterrestrial signals (The Planetary Society has a good explanation on the Gaussian screening in this article). A selection of these final persistent signals will be examined in detail by observation with dedicated radio telescope time.
