LOS ANGELES -- Not content to just listen for aliens, a group of California scientists has begun looking for them, too.

For years, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence commonly known as SETI has focused on sifting through the radio or microwave transmissions that stream toward Earth from all quarters of the universe. By crunching the data, scientists hope to detect signals generated by alien civilizations.

Now, scientists at the SETI Institute, the University of California's Berkeley and Santa Cruz campuses and the Lick Observatory have expanded their search to include a hunt for fleeting flashes of laser light.

There out there somewhere, but I am not so sure that they are using technology that we would understand. Maybe so alien that what they may use to communicate in great distances could be radically different then our radio, and even laser technology. Maybe some thing yet to be discovered by scientist in the future, an new way of communicating cosmic distances even in real time!

Just.....Keep ....looking...up!;)

Keep ....looking...up! On a planet spinning on its axis, orbiting around a sun, moving in a galaxy that's twirling and moving somewhere else .... Which way is up?

What if we are alone out there what do you think? I don't know what to believe, maybe we are all just in a glass jar. I don't know about you, but some of the stuff today is ridiculous.
