Evidence of alien life could be revealed next month, filmmaker claims

Oxford -backed program searching for extraterrestrial signals has quietly identified 'non-human intelligence in our galaxy' 'We have found a non-human extraterrestrial intelligence, and people don't know about it,' filmmaker Simon Holland said.

The Oxford -led nonprofit project Breakthrough Listen is on the cusp of confirming that its prime candidate for a message from an extraterrestrial civilization, BLC-1 , is the real thing.

Radio wave signal was initially detected in April and May 2019 from the Australia -based Parkes Telescope at a frequency of 980 MHz.

Breakthrough Listen's researchers scanned the Proxima Centauri star system across a wide range of frequencies, from 700 megahertz to 4 gigahertz.

They found four million hits that were eventually whittled away to 1 million after looking at hits with no motion.

The team's consensus was that they were just signals from Earth that were getting in the way of their efforts to listen-in on distance worlds.

Seven Earth-like planets were discovered orbiting nearby dwarf star 'Trappist-1' All of them could have water at their surface, one of the key components of life.

Three of the planets have such good conditions, that scientists say life may have already evolved on them.
