Listening
#1
http://breakthroughinitiatives.org/Initiative/1

Quote:Breakthrough Listen is the largest ever scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of civilizations beyond Earth. The scope and power of the search are on an unprecedented scale:
The program includes a survey of the 1,000,000 closest stars to Earth. It scans the center of our galaxy and the entire galactic plane. Beyond the Milky Way, it listens for messages from the 100 closest galaxies to ours.
The instruments used are among the world’s most powerful. They are 50 times more sensitive than existing telescopes dedicated to the search for intelligence.
The radio surveys cover 10 times more of the sky than previous programs. They also cover at least 5 times more of the radio spectrum – and do it 100 times faster. They are sensitive enough to hear a common aircraft radar transmitting to us from any of the 1000 nearest stars.
We are also carrying out the deepest and broadest ever search for optical laser transmissions. These spectroscopic searches are 1000 times more effective at finding laser signals than ordinary visible light surveys. They could detect a 100 watt laser (the energy of a normal household bulb) from 25 trillion miles away.
Listen combines these instruments with innovative software and data analysis techniques.
The initiative will span 10 years and commit a total of $100,000,000.

If they aren't already here, I say leave them be. 
All we need is to find another warring race like us, then we'd be faced with taking our weapons out into space. Thing is, I don't think we would stand much of a chance against them.  Stupid greedy Elite think they can take over the universe. Pfft!   tinyok

Just ask the Captains or Admiral of our Secret Space Fleet to give you the proper Radio Station or Channel,,,, or better yet ask for an introduction to their Alien Liaison Officer.
Save us some Tax Dollars.
Once A Rogue, Always A Rogue!
