"If you see such a signal and it's not coming from the surface of Earth, you know you have detected extraterrestrial technology," says Jason Wright, a SETI-centric astronomer at Penn State University in Pennsylvania. "Unfortunately, humans have launched a lot of extraterrestrial technology."

The UFO crowd is going to have a field day with that quote.

Jason Wright is, of course, the same astronomer who set off the 'Alien Megastructure' theory a few years ago when KIC 8462852 (Tabby's star) was dimming.
