The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a collective term for scientific searches for intelligent extraterrestrial life.Methods include monitoring electromagnetic radiation for signs of transmissions from civilizations on other planets, [1] [2] [3] optical observation, and the search for physical artifacts.
SETI, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. SETI Institute, an astronomical research organization SETIcon, a former convention organized by the SETI Institute; Berkeley SETI Research Center, an astronomical research organization SETI@home, a distributed computing project; Active SETI, the attempt to send messages to intelligent aliens
The SETI Institute is a not-for-profit research organization incorporated in 1984 whose mission is to explore, understand, and explain the origin and nature of life in the universe, and to use this knowledge to inspire and guide present and future generations, sharing knowledge with the public, the press, and the government.
Active SETI (Active Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) is the attempt to send messages to intelligent extraterrestrial life. Active SETI messages are predominantly sent in the form of radio signals. Physical messages like that of the Pioneer plaque may also be considered an active SETI message.
The Berkeley SETI Research Center also hosts the Breakthrough Listen program, [4] [5] [6] which is a ten-year initiative with $100 million funding begun in July 2015 to actively search for intelligent extraterrestrial communications in the universe, in a substantially expanded way, using resources that had not previously been extensively used for the purpose.
Project Cyclops is a 1971 NASA project that investigated how the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) should be conducted. As a NASA product the report is in the public domain. As a NASA product the report is in the public domain.
The program has found around 400 suspicious signals, but there is not enough data to prove that they belong to extraterrestrial intelligence. [5] In September–October 2004 the media wrote about Radio source SHGb02+14a and its artificial origin, but scrutiny has not been able to confirm its connection with an extraterrestrial civilization.

NASA SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Microwave Observing Project sites in 1992. The communication with extraterrestrial intelligence (CETI) is a branch of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) that focuses on composing and deciphering interstellar messages that theoretically could be understood by another technological civilization.
