Probed ingest of: THE NARROW BAND: SETI’s CEO Told You to Expect a Probe. His Telescopes Searched for a Radio Tower.
Sentinel argues that major SETI technosignature searches around 3I/ATLAS were optimized for beacon-style transmissions and may have been poorly matched to a passive-probe hypothesis.
Source Claims
5- Source reportedAsserted
Bill Diamond, CEO of the SETI Institute, stated that if extraterrestrial beings exist, they would likely send hardware to Earth first, not biology.
"If such beings exist, they would likely send hardware here first and not biology" (Bill Diamond, SETI Institute CEO, Space.com, April 2024).
- InterpretationAsserted
The publication argues that the search for a radio tower by four telescopes was misguided, as it did not align with the Bracewell probe hypothesis.
- InferenceAsserted
The FAST team used JPL's orbital data to predict signal behavior from 3I/ATLAS, which may have led to incorrect filtering of potential signals.
- InterpretationAsserted
The publication suggests that the methodology used by the FAST team may have inadvertently excluded signals that could indicate extraterrestrial technology.
- InterpretationAsserted
The publication argues that the dismissal of the five surviving signals would not meet normal peer-review expectations in other fields.
We are documenting that the dismissal would not survive peer review in any other field.
