Are We Alone? It's a fundamental question, which has haunted humankind since first we realized that the points of light in the night sky are other suns. Today we have the technology to seek a definitive answer! The SETI League, Inc. is participatory science. Founded in 1994, we are the international grass-roots organization dedicated to privatizing the electromagnetic Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence. We invite you to join this all-volunteer effort in keeping alive the global quest for our cosmic companions.

Our Members Scan the Skies Around the world, hundreds of SETI League members are building small, amateur radio telescopes, and joining in a coordinated search for evidence of technology Out There. This global team of enthusiasts from all walks of life collaborates through the Internet in learning, building, observing, and verifying each other’s observations. And, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist!

Our Members Write the Code Shareware that runs on your home computer, sifting through the cosmic static in search of patterns that cannot be produced by nature, using any mechanism that we know and understand. Over sixty volunteer Regional Coordinators around the world are waiting to help you build your station, perform your data analysis, and interpret your results. In The SETI League, nobody has to go the job alone.

Our Members Want You! 1500 members in five dozen countries on all seven continents would be pleased to have you join the Search. Just fill out and send in the form on the reverse. Whether you want to build a station, contribute hardware or software skills, write articles, give lectures, teach classes, or merely share vicariously in the thrill of discovery, The SETI League needs your support.
