Scientist claims to have received strange signal from direction ofGliese 581

Strange Signal Comes From Alien Planet, Scientist Says - FoxNews.com
"The recent discovery of Gliese 581g, an alien planet in the habitable
zone of another star, has been an exciting development for scientists
probing the galaxy for signs of extraterrestrial life. At least one
claim of a possible signal from the planet has already surfaced – and
been met with harsh skepticism among the science community.

Following the Sept. 29 announcement of the discovery of Gliese 581g,
astronomer Ragbir Bhathal, a scientist at the University of Western
Sydney, claimed to have detected a suspicious pulse of light nearly two
years ago, that came from the same area of the galaxy as the location of
Gliese 581g, according to the U.K.'s Daily Mail online. "

The question is, since Bhathal's claim is the astronomical community
now focusing on this planet trying to detect a signal or are they more
interested in dismissing him?

I figure his claim is dismissed in its entirety, and that there are
firm plans to concentrate some detectors on each Earth-like planet
discovered. But I am not an insider.

If Bhathal is not forthcoming in revealing his data then they would
have no choice other than to dismiss his claim. I have to go along
with your assumption that they are monitoring those planets in the
habitable zone. This is where to look but I doubt that they would tell
us if they picked up a signal that identifies an intelligent alien
life form.

They report even false positives now. So I cannot believe that they
would not a least report the initial finding, if they didn't retract
it later due to "the probability of upsetting the natives".
