The signal discovery triggers speculation of the existence of alien life. Especially because of where it orginates. Also located in the Sagittarius A solar system is Gilese 581 c, an Earth-like planet thought as the most likely known location for alien life.
So if we send a signal back, I say we Rick Roll 'em

Well of course we aren't the only being in the universe. I, no doubt about it, believe that there are other being trying to contact us in our - universe - or solar system. And this is great evidence! Extraterrestrials are very intelligent and they can beat time with their crafts anyday. I don't believe any would try and hurt our world - we are suffering - so maybe they just want to help us. I don't believe we should be afraid either, they are just like us. Our family like the man said. When we're ready they'll come to visit, in peace.

It's about time someone has brought this to life. We as humans are not looking at the big picture - the universe is so huge - of course there is more out there and I hope this brings things to light and if the aliens want to visit - cool cause I would like to fly one of their spaceships with a coffee from starbucks in my hand!!

Interesting - what are the chances of both us and another alien civilisation individually developing radio technology recognisable by the other? I wonder if there isn't a simpler explanation... (/Scully voice)

Another theory is that the dish has picked up natural radio waves, possibly sent out by Hydrogen gas clouds, rather than little green men.

Well, I learned something today. I didn't even know what Rick Rolling was.
I saw we say we send them the "JUST LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!" video so at least we won't have to worry about them wanting to invade our planet.
Seriously, is the radio buzzing when my cell phone rings again?

sadly for evolutionists of the materialistic and naturalistic stripe, this type of work (e.g., SETI) operates by the very same assumption that validates the methodology of Intelligence Design; namely, if the information (signals) are of a complex sort and contains information not likely to communicated by chance (e.g., a list of prime number or a funny alien joke using the #'s 69) then we are logically and 'scientifically' justified in drawing the conclusion that 'intelligence' is the source of the information.
two cheers for intelligent design!

Wow. Harsh response. Seems like Petarro is on to something with the comment that we have trouble dealing with simple things: Like words and statements.
For me, reading stuff about aliens and 'free energy' is like most folks who follow Britny Spears. A minor diversion without real personal involvement. The likely hood that an alien could appear to me has all the 'meaning' that Britny could magically appear at my doorstep (although Im not sure which I'd prefer!)
Yup, it may not be a real issue, like Georgia and Russia, or even the conflict of two avid current.com contributors.

Talk, but nothing concrete... speculation, assumption, but he provided no evidence? You or I could produce this infomercial... Not that I disbelieve the likely possibility, but still no evidence here... I did like one thing that he said... I believe that our governments on earth do officially sanction deception programs... on many levels and issues! They could even manufacture aliens and invasions if they desired... Just like an old movie I saw, can't remember the name, but a very real possibility for a new Shock Doctrine!

"rick rolling" is when you send someone an innocuous link to something and instead of whatever the link says it is you get linked to a video or mp3 of Rick Astley;

Rickrolling is an Internet meme involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". The meme is a bait and switch: a person provides a Web link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand, but the link actually takes the user to the Astley video. The URL can be masked or obfuscated in some manner so that the user cannot determine the true source of the link without clicking (and thus satisfying their curiosity). When a person clicks on the link given and is led to the web page he/she is said to have been "Rickrolled
It has become so popular that they even have a version of Obama doing it

If the signals are coming from the center of the galaxy, wouldn't that be where the bulk of radiation is coming from anyway? Couldn't this just be something from nature, and not necessarily a life form trying to contact us?

As long as it isn't a signal that tells how to combined alien DNA like in Species then Rick Rolling is what they deserve.
If it's E.T. phoning back from home then Rick Rolling is a cruel punishment

I dont think its a coincidence that this signal corresponds with release of the iPhone 3G, do you?
Within weeks of unveiling the crowning glory of human achievement we finally receive the signal we've been searching for.
In the Star Trek universe First Contact was forbidden until a civilization developed the capacity for warp drive.
Now that we have mastered the ability to stream YouTube videos of dogs riding skateboards at near broadband speeds directly to our iPhones we have been deemed worthy to join the greater intergalactic civilizations.
