The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI, has gone on since it was first recognized that the planets and stars are objects like our Earth and the Sun. Various techniques have been proposed, from dream journeys to lighting immense fires in the deserts, before we had electronics and nuclear technologies. Some of the present techniques will be discussed and the possibilities of future systems based on what have been planned by various groups and organizations. Modern communications techniques in everyday use will be mentioned and some props will be brought to demonstrate a few concepts. Our speaker is Earl Bennett, President of the Philadelphia Area Space Alliance and a SETI League member.
