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. The SETI League, Inc. developed technology to seek a definitive answer! Founded in 1994, we focused on participatory science, as the preeminent international grass-roots organization dedicated to privatizing the electromagnetic Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. Together, we worked in five dozen countries on all seven continents to keep alive the quest for our cosmic companions. After thirty years, we are now scaling back - but many of our 1500 members are continuing their independent research. You can read about their efforts on this website, which we are maintaining for educational and historical purposes.

SETI is a science, not simply a screensaver!

Home to Project Argus, the ambitious global Microwave SETI project

*Featured Photo*
On a recent visit to Sedona Arizona, SETI League executive director H. Paul Shuch returned this ICOM IC-R7000 microwave scanning receiver to founder and president Richard Factor, its rightful owner. Richard had lent the ICOM to Paul almost 30 years ago for use in his Project Argus station FN11LH, and it quickly became the gold standard for amateur radiotelescopes worldwide.
