Search For Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence

     Life on Earth can be found in many forms, so wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that life exists elsewhere in the universe? Scott Carter searches for an answer to the question: "Are we alone?" using a dish antenna and Software Defined Radio (SDR). This site documents his SETI journey and the search for techno-signatures that could answer this important question.

     SETI enthusiasts have been scanning the skies for years, searching for signals that may indicate the possibility of life outside of our solar system. Although some interesting signals have been found, most have been explained as naturally occurring or caused by the activities of humans on Earth. Advances in technology over the past two decades have brought the SETI search with-in the reach of many hobbyists. It is an exciting time to get involved!

     Explore the field of SETI from an amateur's perspective, and learn what is being done to expand the capabilities of back yard observatories. Scott is one of the amateurs who is leading the effort to further SETI science.
