	Alien Investigators: A Look at the SETI Institute - UFO Evidence
		Shostak is a scientist at the SETI Institute.
		The SETI institute was founded in 1984 as a nonprofit corporation, and in 1985 NASA awarded the institute a contract to play a major role in a search being performed by the space agency.
		In April, the institute unveiled the prototype for an array of satellite dishes that might be able to be combined to form a radio telescope that could become the world's most powerful.

	SETI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A basic assumption of SETI is the that of "Mediocrity" [1]: the idea that humanity is not exotic in the Cosmos but in a sense "typical" or "medium" when compared with other intelligent species.
		SETI advocates did not give up, and in 1995 the nonprofit "SETI Institute" of Mountain View, California, resurrected the work under the name of Project "Phoenix", backed by private sources of funding.
		SETI has occasionally been the target of criticism by those who suggest that it is a form of pseudoscience.

	Open SETI: History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		SETI observing programs - those proposed as well as those actually carried out - range in scale from the parsimonious Project SERENDIP (Bowyer et al., 1983) to the gargantuan (though modular) Project Cyclops (Oliver and Billingham, 1972) (never funded by Congress but a very useful design study nevertheless).
		The SETI Institute in collaboration with U.C. Berkeley's PROJECT SERENDIP has enlisted one million souls and their computers in a gigantic distributed computing program (SETI@home) to perform the "Fast Fourier Transform", the classic SETI calculation, on what is supposed to be live raw data (but may not be).
		With SETI@home, SETI has moved from a highly dubious "scientific" enterprise to something more like a sporting event, where "teams" of enthusiasts compete to collect the most Negadata (my term for the absence of scientific data that SETI has collected over a period of several decades).

	Written Testimony of Christopher F Chyba
		The SETI Institute's Center for the Study of Life in the Universe comprises some twenty-five scientists pursuing research dedicated to understanding the origin, nature, and prevalence of life in the universe.
		The SETI Institute is pursuing all three of these projects, and is already well along the way of prototyping the one hectare telescope, previously known as the 1HT but now being built as the Allen Telescope Array.
		SETI science and the SETI Institute are at the cutting edge of current radio astronomy, and the technology development underway will benefit radio astronomy of all kinds.

		As long as NASA was a part of SETI, it was clearly the dominant player, and its demise left a void that was difficult to fill.
		The SETI Institute was founded in 1984 to sponsor and conduct research on SETI and life in the universe.
		Most of the Institute's earlier projects were funded by NASA, and it played a significant role in the targeted search program that was based at NASA Ames in nearby Moffett Field.

		A long-time SETI advocate, Myhrvold was a member of the international 'blue ribbon' team of scientists and technologists engaged in a two-year strategic planning effort in the late 1990s from which the Allen Telescope Array concept emerged.
		To support the telescope's long-term operational capability, the SETI Institute announced that it is offering 'stakes' in the Allen Telescope Array through which individuals and organizations can join Allen and Myhrvold in the enterprise by naming individual telescope dishes in perpetuity for a contribution of $50,000.

		BERKELEY-- The University of California, Berkeley, and the SETI Institute have teamed up to design and build an array of 500 to 1,000 radio telescopes whose primary task will be to seek out signals from civilizations elsewhere in our galaxy.
		SETI observations require not only a large collecting area-to find the weak signals expected from a transmitter many light years away-but also highly sophisticated digital receivers to scrutinize millions of radio channels.
		The result for SETI is less than optimal; at best, SETI scientists are able to scan only a few hundred star systems per year.

		As one of the lead teams in NASA's Astrobiology Institute (NAI), the SETI Institute will host the first of a series of workshops on the habitability of M stars from July 18-20, 2005 http://mstars.seti.org.
		According to Jill Tarter, the Director of the Center for SETI Research at the SETI Institute, "Most stars in our galactic neighborhood are M stars; historically we've excluded them because planets within their classically defined 'habitable zone' would be tidally locked to the star and have to endure periodic flares of hard radiation.
		The SETI Institute is now designing a system of computers called SonATA (SETI on ATA) that will examine about one million stars for evidence of radio signals from intelligent life.
