Actually, it was a couple years ago they started posting "Hits" that eventually led them to realize their Aricebo data was being corrupted by the nearby Radar installation in the first place. They thought they knew the timing of it, but learned otherwise. And the frequency that the radar bursts are seen in the data stream, that they then have to "blank out" to avoid false positives, leads to a very spotty data set to work through. Have you ever made sense of someone talking on the phone when you were missing every other word? Well, try imaging that when the person talking isn't even speaking your language!

With their newer data source, I've got hope they may eventually be able to make something of the data, but I agree, I gave up expecting it to produce any real results and moved on. Let's cure Cancer or produce better medicines and materials instead.
