All attempts to listen to alien sounds have turned out to be false. for instance, an interstellar cloud destroys belief in aliens and all subsequent attempts have been futile.
However, the SETI branch is not giving up. They want to guide you to do the job for them.
Now, Science reports on a person who does alien hunting for a living; The extra-terrestrial evidence doesn’t look like 'Oumuamua.
“Iridium flares are a familiar sight for sky watchers: The brilliant flashes take place when sunlight bounces off the solar panels of the 66 low-orbiting satellites in the iridium communications system.
A researcher involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence wonders what similar flashes farther out might mean—perhaps a shiny alien artifact or spacecraft? “
Science doesn’t tell his name, but he has published in the arXiv preprint server. Now, the aliens have kept silent: “But the fact that we haven’t seen such flashes yet suggests any alien visitors—if they are out there—are doing a good job of cleaning up after themselves.”
