Liu Xu, Xinhua via Associated Press China claims that its “Sky Eye” telescope may have picked up signals from an alien civilization, according to Beijing Normal University . The news: In a report released on Tuesday in Science and Technology Daily , researchers say they found “several cases of possible technological traces and extraterrestrial civilizations from outside the earth.” These signals detected from the Sky Eye are “several narrow-band electromagnetic signals” that are different than those discovered in the past, the report said. According to coverage from KXAN Austin , electromagnetic waves are the most reliable carriers for “interstellar communication.” KXAN states, “Regardless of wind or rain, (the waves) can penetrate the earth’s atmosphere regardless of weather.” However, there are limitations to this finding.
