Signatures Of Extraterrestrial Technology Could Be How We Will First Discover Alien Life
Numerous human inventions, from cell towers to fluorescent light bulbs, may serve as a beacon indicating the existence of life if an extraterrestrial race were to observe Earth. We are a team of two scientists engaged in SETI or the hunt for alien intelligence. In our studies, we look for characteristics and indications of Technology originating from places other than Earth.

The first SETI project, Project Ozma, was started in the same year by Frank Drake. He poi...
