Scientists have found no signs of alien beings after analysing radio 
signals collected in the world's biggest distributed computing project.

More than 150 candidates selected by the Seti at home project have been 
examined using the giant Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico.

Astronomers say they have discovered no evidence of a signal from an 
extraterrestrial civilisation during a quick, real-time analysis of the data.
