I got a signal?

Managed to do a screen cap when I saw this flash on my screen last night. Have never seen one like this before....thoughts?

Have never seen a peak quite this big before, although I've had one or two which were above the norm.

Send the image to Seti and see what they say!

I have never had one like that before. who knows maybe the aliens are trying to talk to you

Maybe they picked up a transmission from your implant?

Just kidding man, really I don't think you have one.

Yeah tell us what seti says.

Hey kparnell,
What did Seti say?
That's a huge peak...

Nice one!
I am not vy familiar with this SETI but find it interesting as a HAM (Radio Amatuer).
May I ask what kind of equipment is used for this?
Reciever? Antenna? Dish? Sizes of them? Frequencies? Mode? and so on.

hi ive seen this screenshot and im intrigued how can i do something like this? is there a simple program i can download?

You have to download and install the SETI program, the SETI satellites use your computer's power (and all other computers that are connected to the network) to function. It is sent to main satellites which send signals out into space. This is right, correct? I used to do it, guess I have to start back up

-wD

its a huge peak but it could be anything.

www.setiathome.berkeley.edu...

You receive samples from a radio telescope. Your
computer analyzes the samples and reports back to
berkeley, your findings. Full details are on their
website. There is approximately 4,000,000 computers
connected to the network. Fun-fun-fun ...

Bleep ... Proper seti address is:

setiathome.berkeley.edu...

don't use the www. "sorry"

Are you looking for the program to monitor for Life from Beyond Earth, or a program for screen captures?

Seti@Home program has been answered already. If you're looking for a screen capture here is a nice free one:
www.analogx.com...
It allows you to capture using a hotkey too.

Edit: So what ever happened with the signal that started this post??? Has anyone heard anything???

The primary source is the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico click here for info.

it's one hell of a bump...u should have taken a better screenshot tho
i did seti this whole summer....crap results, but hey, what was i expecting?
did u send them an email? if not, then u should man, it's time for a treat for mankind, we've suffered long enough on this miserable lonely planet

if they dont answer then email bomb them, im sure they'll give u sum attention either way

were you lucky enough to just catch it at the right time or do you spend time watching your screen saver? when I first downloaded it I spent ages watching and hoping that I would be the one that would get a message from e.t. but I probably wouldn't recognise it if I did. I've never seen anything like your screen shot so far. Does anyone know if seti have any examples of what a signal could look like if we did interscept one?

Chances are that if your computer is the machine that analyzes the signal from another space-faring race, you will be contacted by government officials or the people at SETI and given congratulations. Unless of course, they want the attention for it.

What was the date you captured that spike on, kparnell?

It may have been caused by solar flares......

I just had the same thing happen with my screensaver.this is what I managed to capture




I don't know if this was a test signal. It ran through the whole of the unit and it only took 6 minutes for the unit to complete when it usually takes an average of 4 1/2 hours.It produced a peak on my seti monitor of 108.99

wow ive never seen a peak like that either.
