First let me say, I'm Very, Very Surprised i Beat Mystic Wanderer to posting this,,,,, She must be Napping!

This is kind of exciting, they may have actually heard some sort of Alien Communication.

‘Strange’ signals that appear to be coming from a star close to Earth may have been sent by ALIENS, scientists say

Astronomers picked up the communications in May and have refused to rule out the possibility they were sent by extraterrestrials

STARGAZERS have received “some very peculiar signals” while observing a distant dwarf star.

Experts listening in at the Arecibo Observatory were on a planet-spotting mission when the strange “pulses” came over the radio between April and May.

However, while boffins have not ruled out the possibility that the signals were produced by aliens, it’s not currently the top theory about their origin.
It wasn’t until two weeks after the project finished that they noticed the strange signalswhich came from Ross 128 (GJ447), some 11 light years away, on 12 May at 1.53 AM (BST).

Ross 128 is a small red dwarf that is the 12th closest star to Earth – which makes it very close indeed when compared to the billions and billions of other suns out there in the universe.

“We believe that the signals are not local radio frequency interferences (RFI) since they are unique to Ross 128 and observations of other stars immediately before and after did not show anything similar,” wrote Professor Abel Mendez in a blogpost last week.

The planetary astrobiologist and Nasa fellow who is based at the University of Puerto Rico believes there could be three explanations for the strange noises.
One possibility is a series of solar flare emissions from the star.
