New research provides a physics based solution for why we aren't hearing potential messages from alien civilizations.

SETI researchers may have missed alien signals due to a cosmic phenomenon that distorts narrowband radio waves, new research ...

For four decades, many SETI experiments have focused on finding sharp spikes in frequency but the new study says signals may not stay narrow as they travel away from their home system.

Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland, who once commanded a base long associated with UFO lore, has been missing ...

New SETI research suggests space weather like solar winds could be interfering with alien radio signals, making them harder ...

Radio silence has long puzzled those searching for extraterrestrial intelligence, but the answer might lie much closer to the source of potential signals than previously thought. Conditions around ...

Solar winds near aliens’ homes – and ours – might be blowing away signs of alien technosignatures by broadening signals The SETI Institute, the nonprofit that conducts a search for extraterrestrial ...

Institute has found that we may have missed transmissions from intelligent alien life for a very benign reason. SETI’s searches are focused only on very narrow signals, so the organization typically ...

Stellar activity and plasma turbulence could distort narrow radio signals before they leave their home planetary systems, potentially explaining part of the long silence in the search for ...

Turbulent plasma near distant stars could blur ultra-narrow signals before they leave their home star systems - making them difficult to detect.

Stellar plasma can smear alien radio signals before they escape their star system, making them harder for astronomers to detect.
