China Says It May Have Detected Signals From Alien Civilizations

Here's an interesting article. China put it out there then pulled it back.

China said its giant Sky Eye telescope may have picked up signs of life beyond Earth, according to a report by the state-backed Science and Technology Daily, which then appeared to have deleted the report and posts about the discovery.

China said its giant Sky Eye telescope may have picked up signs of life beyond Earth, according to a report by the state-backed Science and Technology Daily, which then appeared to have deleted the report and posts about the discovery.

The narrow-band electromagnetic signals detected by Sky Eye -- the world’s largest radio telescope -- differ from previous ones captured and the team is further investigating them, the report said, citing Zhang Tonjie, chief scientist of an extraterrestrial civilization search team co-founded by Beijing Normal University, the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of California, Berkeley.

The suspicious signals could, however, also be some kind of radio interference and requires further investigation, Zhang added.

It isn’t clear why the report was apparently removed from the website of the Science and Technology Daily, the official newspaper of China’s science and technology ministry, though the news had already started trending on social network Weibo and was picked up by other media outlets, including state-run ones.

You don't really get a clear picture as to why they think it might be a signal from an alien civilization but I'm not surprised by the report. We're a type .72 civilization and our technology is getting better at looking for technosignatures.

I believe they know much more than they're saying. They seem to be preparing people by putting it out there more. You have Government hearings on U.A.P.'s and NASA about to look into U.A.P.'s. We haven't even full explored our own backyard and I think places like Titan, Europa and Enceladus will tell us so much more about how easy it is for microbial life to form on other planets.

I thought it was clear 20 years ago that extraterrestrial/exredimensional beings exist. You can't get trapped into thinking the sum of all knowledge and intelligence in a universe that's 13.8 billion years old that many scientist say is infinite, is found on our 3rd rock from the sun.

I’m surprised that this post didn’t gain more traction!

Yep, eventually disclosure will happen and the general population will be yelling ‘we knew ages ago!’

a reply to: neoholographic

Even if we can prove a signal we would never know where it came from it could be from a deep space planet that died out millions of years ago .

I like china’s go to move after it was posted.

Delete! Delete!

(Edit, sorry I could not resist the joke but it was in bad taste haha sorry).

Seriously though I believe the US has had evidence of Alien life for a very long time, someone just keeps putting out of reach of the public, hiding the facts and thinking or claiming rather (job security) that if they let us KNOW there are aliens we will all panic and go bonkers, loot the nearest shop and then governments around the world and religions will collapse.

Actually most people would just say "Hmmmf" and get on with it after a shrug because we are more interested in if we will ever get an honest politician than if we have neighbours so far away we can not borrow there lawn mower.

a reply to: neoholographic

They probably pulled it back because they don't have a clear picture as you said. By the way, if you think governments know more than they have told us, why do you think they will tell us now that they've been told to? Do you trust them or not?

I trust scientists because like NASA, they would get some awesome grants 👍

OR an answer to a signal sent by a previous civilization on our own world that dies out a very long time ago leaving us bewildered at what it mean's.

I am guessing at least one person got fired-maybe worse-for this accidental leak.
We don't know if its actual alien signals yet-but all governments would want to keep that kind of stuff secret.

But-I wonder if there is a way to find out where the telescope has been looking over its life-then we could narrow down the search,and others may be able to find the signals..

Or if for example if there is public data up to a point,then a sudden stop at the time the signals were found-you could maybe guess where the telescope was looking,if there was a discernable pattern in how it scanned the sky up to that point.

I guess it could also just turn out to be a puslar though.

Don't know if you've ever read The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu.
Its a science fiction book about first contact. Its an excellent read mixing recent Chinese history, science and science fiction.

One of the main points of the book is how mankind will react.
There is a general perception that first contact will bring about a uniting of the human race however this story - and it is just a story - suggests that nations will vie with each other in their efforts to be the primary point of contact with an alien civilisation.
In effect use contact to their advantage over other nations.

There are three books in the series but I've only read the first one so far - I had to take some time to let a lot of the science and the theories etc sink in.

My point is maybe China pulled the story so that they have a head start over everyone else?

Just a possibility and nothing to back it up, but as soon as I read your post the thought sprung to mind.

Great story . In reality us Humans are pretty conceded thinking that a race of Aliens far more advanced then us would want anything from us we got nothing to trade .

a reply to: Freeborn

Thank you for the book suggestion. I'll have to check it out!

a reply to: neoholographic

If aliens are more advanced they probably already know our planet is trash filled with total whack jobs!

There are a lot of people that believe our planet is a prison planet and some days I can agree with that.

a reply to: Freeborn

Any Alien Civilization that can come to Earth, would probably look for the most pliable nation to trade with, and establish itself there. If I were them, I would go to S. America and Central America, or Africa. Why, cause overnight you can bring technology to leap frog those nations into 1st world nations, and establish a permanent beachhead on 2/7 of the world, where there are no major players with feet on the ground. Look at it this way, what is the nuclear armed nations going to do? go to war? against nations backed by aliens that have far superior tech? doubt it. That changes the world to a planet that is interested in becoming compliant to the alien race, and eventually you establish your mixed empires, unite them, then start deporting "unwanted" humans to other human areas, or they just disappear into the food chain or fertilizer for crops. Eventually your beachhead is all alien with tentacles pulling on SE Asia. At some point war will come, but unless humanity can steal enough tech, they will lose. The planet will join their confederation and humans would be second class citizens. Any race that is colonizing planets is doing so for their benefit, and I highly doubt they are benevolent, as those were probably conquered long ago. Eventually humans will be put on reservations, and only hybrids or humans that are approved would be allowed in the Alien presence. Just my two cents.

It really is an excellent read, very thought provoking and comes from a perspective I'd certainly never considered.

Throughout human history people have collaborated with invaders/aliens to further their own ends.
This book takes it further.

It immediately struck me that maybe the Chinese want sole contact with whatever civilisation these 'signals' are coming from.
Of course there could easily be other reasons why they have chosen to pull the story, not least because there maybe a rather simple explanation or even because someone made a mistake etc.

Wow!

We never needed to be "told". As well....there will never be any worldwide disclosure. Ever. There isnt any need. Evidence abounds.

The whole world would trust no one person, rep or country...to "disclose". That word should be changed to "accepted as" existing.

Come here, go from here, always been here

I often think Earth is somewhat of a zoo for extraterrestrial creatures that are going extinct around the galaxy . I asked my wife yesterday why humans are the only life form on this planet that has to wipe their butt lol

I think we are being given the opportunity to see alien life it's just hidden in plain sight all around us . All the creatures around us including plants should be examples there can be micro plants that amoebas call home I don't think size is universal there could be planets and life forms big enough to hold the earth in their hands .

That's what they first made us believe then when they came they wanted to go underground. So we build underground tunnels and cities for them and then it turns out they have been here a long time, they have been living among us for Millennia.

Satan always makes himself out to be an angel of light and then when you figure it out, it is to late.

I have this memory of Chinese scientists discovering all sorts of feathered dinosaur fossils that turned out to be fakes.
timevaultgallery.com...

Each year, thousands of trusting buyers are duped by both inexpensive and very expensive, highly realistic fakes. More troubling, even scientists have fallen prey to the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Chinese fake fossil artists. In 1999, highly recognized scientists along with National Geographic magazine presented an amazing new discovery of a feathered dinosaur discovered in the Liaoning Province of China. The bird with a dinosaur's tail was named ARCHAEORAPTOR. A year later, it was found to be a clever fake.

China has an immense scientific wealth of genuine fossil deposits. Despite SEVERE Chinese cultural property laws (up to and including the death penalty) that forbid the export or trade in fossils, one can see numerous Chinese fossils for sale in shops, shows, on fossil dealer websites and in online auctions such as EBay (consistently THE highest incidents of fraudulent auctions). With the threat of such strict laws, one has to wonder "How can there be so many Chinese fossils making out of the country?" Simple logic is all that is needed.... THEY ARE FAKES! The Chinese have found it easier (and safer) to just MAKE these fossils. There is no worry or risk to a Chinese dealer when they ship a fake out of the country!

not really trusting China science much.

Yes and no, I guess we never had any person return.
