The scientists found that only more technologically advanced civilizations would be able to detect current levels of mobile tower radio leakage from Earth.
A new research says that aliens on nearby stars can locate Earth through radio signals leaked from the planet. Using crowd-sourced data, scientists from the University of Manchester and the University of Mauritius simulated radio leakage from mobile towers, to study how alien civilizations might have been detected by nearby stars such as Barnard’s Star, located six light-years from Earth. What can be known.
According to research published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists found that only more technologically advanced civilizations would be able to detect current levels of mobile tower radio leakage from Earth.
“While it is true that we have less powerful TV and radio transmitters today, the proliferation of mobile communications systems around the world is profound. While each system individually represents relatively low radio powers, the integrated spectrum of billions of these devices enough,” said Professor Mike Garrett, team leader of the project and director of the Jodrell Bank Center for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester.
“Earth is already unusually bright in the radio part of the spectrum; If trends continue, we could easily be detected by any advanced civilization with the right technology.”
Ramiro Saide, an M.Phil student at the University of Mauritius and an intern at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory of the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institution, created models that show aliens receiving signals from Earth.
Earth’s mobile radio signature includes substantial contributions from developing countries, including Africa, according to scientists, which they say is a remarkable development and highlights the country’s success in bypassing the landline phase and going straight to the digital age.

“I believe there is every chance that advanced civilizations are out there, and some planets may be able to see man-made radio leakage coming from Earth,” he said.
