Preparing for Extraterrestrial Communication: Decoding Mock Alien Signals from Mars and Beyond
TL;DR
A transmission designed to mimic correspondence from an extraterrestrial civilization made its way to Earth from Mars, organized by SETI, a nonprofit organization with a mission to search for extraterrestrial intelligence and explore the origin of life in the universe. The message was successfully picked up by three observatories and the raw data containing the message was released on the internet via Filecoin to give everyone a chance to decode it and interpret its meaning. The event also served as a general rehearsal of all the steps involved in identifying and correctly processing a signal of extraterrestrial and intelligent origin.
