Although the legends of many ancient cultures hold that divine beings created the heavens and controlled such cosmic events as eclipses, the idea that other planets harbor life similar in development and intelligence to our own did not become popular until the nineteenth century, when a few scientists considered ways in which earthlings might contact other beings One plan envisioned the building of huge canals in the desert in the shape of easily recognizable geometric symbols; when filled with gasoline and ignited, the canals would signal the presence of life on Earth to neighboring worlds Since then, many astronomers have become seriously interested in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI They assume that alien beings elsewhere in the galaxy will probably try to contact earthlings, using flashes of light to carry their messages In 1960 one astronomer performed one of the first serious searches for extraterrestrial life, called Project Ozma The astronomer turned a sensitive radio telescope in the direction of nearby stars Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani but found no transmissions that might be beacons from extraterrestrial civilizations Since Project Ozma, about four dozen other searches have been conducted No one has yet received an unambiguous signal from an extraterrestrial civilization, and numerous false alarms have been caused by interference from radio-wave sources here on Earth The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, has also been involved in SETI and sought funding from the United States Congress to build a complete receiver and to undertake a ten-year search program One half of this search plan calls for using radio telescopes in its Deep-Space Network to repeatedly scan the entire sky The other half involves using its 1,000-foot telescope to listen to nearby stars similar to the Sun that may have Earthlike planets orbiting around them Although scientists realize their survey will be far from complete, they believe the search must begin with small efforts Said one scientist: "We're new at this business, and when you walk into a dark, unfamiliar forest, you should probably listen before you shout."
