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

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.
