May have something to do with signals from the center of the galaxy detected over the past year or so.

Nothing as exciting as any kind of ET contact, disappointingly. For a minute I thought all my computer's hours searching through downloaded files whilst I slept had paid off.

From your link:

Editor's update: for all of you out there who have been waving your arms around and speculating, this is not an announcement about finding a signal from ETs, the face on Mars, or anything else. It is far more mundane. Details of the announcement were released - under press embargo - to reporters last week. A press release about the announcement will be issued on Tuesday by the SETI Institute.

aww, weak. Sounds like budget news, after all.

False alarm. They're just opening a new astrobiology center in response to NASA's budget cuts, to be named "Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe". Still cool, but I feel dumb for thinking it could have been anything else.

My apologies.

Sorry, signals from the centre of the galaxy? does anyone have a link?

Here is the link

And by "last year or so," I guess I meant last two years or so, according to NG. It just took a year for me to hear about it
