Possible alien signal gives me hope.

Sorry, but:

Seti is saying that there's nothing particularly interesting about this signal at the moment.

Bah now they're just trying to cover it up!!

Yeah, covering their butts for making false news.

The SETI at Home people who talked to an interviewer for New Science (I think that's the name) magazine said they had candidates. Immediately, the n00b reporter, looking for a scoop, overinflates the story. It popped in his face.

The only coverup going on is the covering up of all the blushing.

Not all "false stories" are cover-ups by the illuminati and the Majestic 12.

Strangely enough, I heard the details on Coast to Coast AM. ~_^

To steal (and butcher) a line from Bill Waterson (Calvin and Hobbes), I think the best proof that there's intelligent life out there is that none of it has tried to contact us.
