If it was some sort of narrow beacon, that would explain why it was observed in one horn and not the other. It would also explain why it was centered exactly on the hydrogen line of the EM, which is where one would expect ET to be transmitting any sort of message or at least carrier.
It's not from ET. Get over it.
How do you know this? If the signal was natural or from Earth, where, exactly, did it come from?
Quote:Two different values for the signal's frequency have been given: 7009142036000000000♠1420.36 MHz (J. D. Kraus) and 7009142046000000000♠1420.46 MHz (J. R. Ehman), both very close to the value of 7009142041000000000♠1420.41 MHz of the hydrogen line, as predicted by Morrison and Cocconi. The two values are nearly the same distance apart from the hydrogen line – the first 7004497500000000000♠0.04975 MHz (7004497500000000000♠49.75 kHz) below and the second 7004498500000000000♠0.04985 MHz (49.85 kHz) above.[7]
The frequency at 1420 is a protected frequency, and if the signal was from Earth in violation of international law, then it should have been detected in both horns, instead of one. Ditto if it was a natural signal. As such, an interstellar rotating beacon of unknown, yet artificial origins, is a completely plausible explanation. This is, of course, not scientific evidence; for that, one needs replication, but it is at least plausible evidence nonetheless. On the other hand, if you have an explanation other than "unknown, just not ET", then please post it.
