General / Off-Topic Neighbours in space - listening to us listening for them?

A bit of Xenology in advance of that US UFO report due soon™:

Scientists identify 29 planets where aliens could observe Earth

Astronomers estimate 29 habitable planets are positioned to see Earth transit and intercept human broadcasts

www.theguardian.com

Interesting that they report authors say: " We found that human-made radio waves have already swept over 75 of the closest stars on our list." ...

I wonder what they thought on hearing Orson Wells' "War of the Worlds" radio drama version which caused such a stir in the US.

Hardly 'a journey to the heart of the universe'.

Getting anywhere off this rock would have to be good.... also aliens.

Was it Edge of The Universe or Stayin' Alive?
