Do you believe there are species that have mastered FTL travel?

6. Common sense...

Judging by all the ancient writings, maps, cave drawings, structures, and all kinds of things that were known about astronomy, "somethings" had to have had input.

I think they (whoever is in charge of this planet) already know what many of us suspect, but it is not time yet to make it public.

I rejoined "Seti@home after a 10-year absence and am amazed how it has grown. There are hundreds of thousands of people from every country on earth involved, and the cost of the many new telescopes must be very great. I'm sure that everyone who takes part in one of the programs is waiting for something to happen, tho they don't speak of it anywhere on their message boards or info websites. And I think to myself, if ET wanted to make contact, where would he find a more receptive audience than the people already looking for him? This program is so huge that I think there's more to it than we know or can imagine other than just finding distant stars. The warping of space is caused by gravitational waves (I search for those) caused by many things, explosions, collisions, etc.

What it says they have found does NOT justify the cost of the radio telescopes or its favorable reputation. Groups from all the military services and universities all take part in the "search." Nothing after all these years except for new pulsars would logically have ended the program long ago.
