A century of searches for alien life This week 100 years ago, scientists conducted some of the first large-scale efforts to detect alien life. Earth and Mars were historically close, captivating audiences around the world. The U.S. Navy cleared the airwaves, and researchers pointed a radio antenna at Mars looking for signs of life. The tests provided no concrete evidence of extraterrestrial life, but when looking back, those summer experiments were just the opening chapter in a search that continues to this day. The technologies have evolved, but what endures is [that sneaky feeling that we are not alone in the universe](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRop5SoP0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wOC8yMC9zY2llbmNlL21hcnMtYWxpZW5zLXJhZGlvLXNpZ25hbHMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDI0MDgyMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMzIyMDYmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE3NTY1NyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZruoD8VmhkY8ElIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD).
