THE NARROW BAND: SETI’s CEO Told You to Expect a Probe. His Telescopes Searched for a Radio Tower.
They used JPL’s curated orbit to build the filters. The software threw out every signal a probe would produce. 5 of 20 million signals survived. They blamed them on the circuit board and moved on.
Key Claims
8- Bill Diamond, CEO of the SETI Institute, stated that if extraterrestrial beings exist, they would likely send hardware here first and not biology.factual
“If such beings exist, they would likely send hardware here first and not biology” (Bill Diamond, SETI Institute CEO, Space.com, April 2024).
- The article states that four of the world's most powerful radio telescopes searched for a radio tower signal from 3I/ATLAS and found none.factual
Four telescopes. Four null results. Case closed. Next story.
- The FAST team used JPL's orbital data to predict how a signal from 3I/ATLAS would behave.factual
“Orbital elements are taken from JPL Horizons.”
- The article suggests that the methodology used by the FAST team may have been biased due to reliance on JPL's curated orbit.interpretation
If JPL’s orbit is wrong, the speed prediction is wrong. The filter box is drawn in the wrong place.
- The article claims that all four telescopes used nearly identical methods and software, leading to a lack of independent confirmation.interpretation
That is not four independent confirmations. That is one experiment repeated four times.
- The article states that the bliss pipeline automatically deletes all zero-drift signals, which could be a blind spot for detecting Bracewell probes.interpretation
The bliss pipeline has a feature that should concern anyone who takes the Bracewell probe hypothesis seriously. It automatically deletes all zero-drift signals.
- The article claims that the dismissal of five surviving signals would not survive peer review in any other field.interpretation
We are documenting that the dismissal would not survive peer review in any other field.
- The article suggests that the SETI Institute's search methodology is designed to avoid finding uncomfortable results.interpretation
We will never find anything uncomfortable. Because we designed our search so that uncomfortable findings can’t occur.
