It looks as though the Allen Telescope Array may have been the scene of a few hours of excitement just five days ago. I happened to notice then that they were staying aimed on two of the Kepler Field stars known to have one or more planets. They also stuck to the same radio frequency the entire time. This observation was noticed already in progress, and continued for over two hours.
This is highly unusual, as the ATA is typically moved from one star to another, and one frequency to another much more frequently than this, as part of its regular search strategy.
Unfortunately, it seems that the source of the signal was identified as manmade or natural interference, as the observation ceased while the target stars were still high in the sky. Supporting this conclusion is a apparently lack for further observation of these two stars, since then.

This is really not the place to ask that, but its waiting for your wingperson to timeout so it can be resent to another and that will happen on the 26 Dec 2014, 21:03:12 UTC.

The Number Crunching forum is where that question should be asked. ;-)

Cheers.
