Radio Signal Detected Beyond Solar System

A Durban University of Technology teacher and his students have apparently found the first radio signal from outside our Solar System, possibly from an alien source.

Yes, you read it correctly the first time, but go ahead, read it again.

On the evening of July 28th, 2008, at 21h14 hours (local time) the Indlebe Radio Telescope, detected a strong source from Sagittarius A, the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, approximately 30 thousand light years away from Earth.

Just found this now, I think it's quite a more recent article than the date mentioned in the article. The achievement could however be misinterpreted; either the signal is something very extraordinary, or what is an extraordinary achievement is the type of radio telescope they are using.

Your thoughts?

EDIT: Ah, not what i thought. Rather dissapointing in reality =(

So what are the pulsars we've been listening to all these years? Are they not radio waves from outside our Solar System?

The title seems mis-leading to me.
