Can't understand why I'm having such bad luck with links the past 2 days. Your link works. Very strange.

What I find interesting is that Fox seems to be pushing this "agenda" if I may call it that more than most other news sources: Scientists want to build a laser that could guide an extraterrestrial civilization and bring them to Earth. A new research paper from an MIT graduate student suggests that humanity could theoretically build an infrared laser that could be both hot and bright enough to attract the attention of intelligent civilizations, if it was aimed at nearby exoplanets. James Clark, the study's lead author, believes it would "certainly attract attention." www.foxnews.com/science/researchers-want-to-use-lasers-to-contact-aliens-and-help-bring-them-to-earth |

Then we have Oumuamua The name comes from Hawaiian ʻoumuamua, meaning 'scout' (from ʻou, meaning 'reach out for', and mua, reduplicated for emphasis, meaning 'first, in advance of'), and reflects the way this object is like a scout or messenger sent from the distant past to reach out to humanity. NASA may have ruled that Oumuamua, the first interstellar object ever spotted in our system is a "metallic or rocky object" approximately 400 meters (1,312 feet) in length and 40 meters (131 feet) wide, but a new study from the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics says it could be something much more exciting – it could be "a lightsail of artificial origin" sent from another civilization. The study, which was posted online earlier this month, suggests that Oumuamua's strange "excess acceleration" could be artificial in nature, as it has been implied that it is not an active comet. www.foxnews.com/science/mysterious-interstellar-object-could-be-lightsail-sent-from-another-civilization |
