As far as I understand this article, there's no reason to believe that the signal was of constant amplitude, only that it hit Big Ear's detection threshold when we pointed directly at it. So it could have been something super non-uniform and noisy, which would make the intelligent origin seem less likely. But whatever it was, it was super loud. Also: why haven't we built a dedicated radio telescope to just watch that spot all the time? Surely this is the biggest lead generated by the SETI program so far? |
