You've gotta wonder who crunched that WU.

The Planetary Society article in response to the signal. (http://planetary.org/news/2004/seti_signal_0902.html)

The BBC says (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3621608.stm)

Speaking to BBC News Online from the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico, where he is preparing an observing run to follow up Seti@home analysis, Dr Wertheimer said: "It's all hype. We don't have anything we are excited about.

"At the moment, we have no candidates that we are particularly excited about and the new 'signal' is not a priority."

He continued: "With Seti@home having analysed some 50 trillion frequency bands, it is not surprising that a signal like this occurs purely due to chance."
