Could an Alien Signal Reach Earth by 2029? Scientists Say It’s Still a Possibility | UAP

Researchers say that recent predictions involving locations where intelligent aliens might be likeliest to intercept signals from Earth remain accurate, providing potential forecasts for when Earth might also receive contact via an alien signal from another intelligent civilization.

Over five decades ago in 1973, NASA sent a radio signal to the Pioneer 10 probe that eventually reached a white dwarf star. Between 1980 and 1983, similar transmissions were sent to Voyager 2, which launched in 1977 and eventually reached a brown dwarf star located 24 light-years away in 2007.

Now, new findings by a group of scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California (UCLA) have delved more deeply into data collected from these distant NASA probes currently operating in deep space.

Encounters with Earthly Signals?

Along with Pioneer 10, transmissions from Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Pioneer 11, and New Horizons were also mapped to track where these signals might have spread after their release into deep space. Specifically, the researchers predicted that if extraterrestrial life exists near the brown dwarf that could have intercepted Earthly messages in 2007, a response to the original Voyager 2 signal could arrive by sometime in the 2030s.

Based on this possibility, in a paper first released in 2023, the team compiled a list of…more
