A worldwide group radio astronomers will set up camp in New Jersey next year to listen for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. Sponsored by the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence League, the project will mobilize 16 satellite dish antennas for scan the universe. The project could be considered the convergence of more than 1,000 sky-watchers around the globe, so to speak. That is how many members the organization has who are listening for life signs from space. And although they've found no unusual life-signs to date, they are optimistic the powerful radio telescope array in New Jersey may yield results.
