Probably Just an Alien Makeover Show

In today's "Just too cool to be true" department -

SETI@home has detected a signal worthy of a second look.

Sure, just a little while ago I saw a "UFO" that was probably the Hood milk blimp. And now this comes along. Just as the World Science Fiction Convention opens....

Coincidence?

Well, technically, SETI@home has come up with about 150 instances that merited a second look...

Be that as it may, though - it turned out to be a false alarm, yes. But if every such thing were called "bunk", then the entire human population is made up of bunko artists.

Really. "Inaccurate" does not equal "bunk".
