Default Possible SETI candidate

Nonsense worthy of "Nostradamus" and Velikovsky.

Low probability but not comparable with the Velikovsky insanity.


Purely personal: I think the entire SETI scheme is a load of nonsense.
Evidence is ET is probably not out there. If ET is, we probably won't
find him. If we find him it will most likely be by accident. And
finding him would lead to 1) conspiracy theories on what the government
isn't telling us 2) speculation as to whether he is Christian 3) a
trillion-dollar preliminary study on how to make war on him 4) great
frustration as we realize we will never meet him or even talk to him.
