Mysterious signals from light years away
Astronomers involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) pointed the massive radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, at around 200 sections of the sky.
The same telescope had previously detected unexplained radio signals at least twice from each of these regions, and the astronomers were trying to reconfirm the findings. The team has now finished analysing the data, and all the signals seem to have disappeared. Except one, which has got stronger.

Astronomers have moved swiftly to quell speculation they may have received a deep-space radio signal from ET.
"It's all hype and noise," said SETI chief scientist, Dr Dan Wertheimer. "We have nothing that is unusual. It's all out of proportion."
Dr. Paul Horowitz of Harvard has informed reporters that it is not being investigated further.
