Just read up on BLC1, since apparently I wasn't paying attention when this was 
originally announced.  I read some articles, including:

It's very interesting that the signal, so far, has passed every test designed 
to rule out "local" interferance.  That's exiciting.  But apparently it's still 
























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































expected to be some sort of interference, and not alien life.  Also the signal
 hasn't repeated since it was originally seen. 

I'm optimistic now that we have an automated machine learning based ability to 
sort thru these types of signals -- thanks to the "Breakthru Listen" project. 
If they can continue to piggyback on the radio telescopes and process data in 
bulk -- it seems like we have a chance of spotting a true "technosignature".
