Intelligent alien life could intercept human transmission into space sooner than we thought, scientists say

An extraterrestrial alien civilisation could likely intercept transmissions from Earth within the next 100 years, a new study has revealed.

The likelihood of transmissions from Nasa’s Deep Space Network (DSN) to one of the agency’s space exploration probes being intercepted by an advanced alien civilisation was examined in the yet-to-be peer-reviewed research, posted as a preprint in open access archive arXiv.
