SHGb02+14A

Rapid action was taken by SETI researchers to refute internet allegations that a home monitoring station had picked up a signal from an extraterrestrial source. The offender, SHGb02+14A, is thought to be roughly 1,000 light-years away from Earth, between the constellations Pisces and Aries. The issue? The area from where the signal originated is devoid of recognized stars.

However, SETI claims that they are not even aware of this signal and that it is not a candidate for further examination. Natural reasons include chance, randomness, and possibly technical fault in addition to cosmic background noise. However, none of these have been firmly established as the source of the emission.
