The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) was the subject of the Dec. 1981 conference in Tallinn, U.S.S.R., with the Soviet papers, which constituted about 80 percent of the total, of rather low quality. A large number dealt with paleocontact, or establishing the long-past presence of extraterrestrials through archeological or astronomical means. There was insufficient discussion of which bands of electromagnetic radiation are optimum for SETI. The need to search for extrasolar planets was emphasized, noting recent SETI observations at Ohio State University and a NASA plan which would survey both nearby stars and the entire sky in the next few years. The key is a proposed spectrum analyzer that can detect and analyze signals from eight million frequency channels at once, each of which covers a very narrow bandwidth of typically 1-32 Hz.
