Researchers have found 8 possible alien 'technosignatures' detected around distant stars.  They have used a new machine-learning algorithm, and scientists have picked up eight extraterrestrial signals that seem to bear the hallmarks of technology. 

The research does not indicate that they have found proof of intelligent aliens,

If our world was made by Darwinian ways, who do not the vast universe also teem with life?

But they have not responded to Earth´s calls. "Maybe aliens are waiting for the exact right moment,  Aliens may be waiting until a cosmic version of "high noon" to send out all but two of the signals were determined to be due to interference.

Telescope to search for radio signals from 12 exoplanets whose transits were observable during a brief window in March 2018. In a new study, researchers hunted for technological signs of E.T. during the moments when exoplanets pass directly in front of their suns, from Earth's point of view. These exact moments could be the perfect chance for an alien world to beam out a signal to Earthlings in an attempt to make contact their signals to us, scientists have suggested.
