"Signal from extraterrestrials" came from the kitchen microwave

Looking for specific impulses from space Scientists have collected mysterious signals in Australia.

What at first sounded like a message from space, turned out to be much more mundane: The impetus came from the microwave in the kitchen of the scientists, as one of them reported on Tuesday to the news agency dpa.

"It was a puzzle," said John Sarkissian. "We just could not figure out where the signal was coming from." A graduate student followed the interference eventually to the kitchen of the research facility. Microwaves are now banned, as Sarkissian said.

LOL!

At the Greenbank Observatory in WV, they had an odd intermittent signal for years that only turned up in the winter. After much df'ing over several winters, they discovered it was coming from an electric blanket in a doghouse an old couple had rigged with a timer to keep their dog warm.
