Is the planet closest to the sun inhabited by very intelligent and tanned creatures that send signals into space?

Space scientists have been examining in recent months emissions of radio waves that apparently originated in the planet Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.22 light-years from the solar system.

According to a report in the British Guardian newspaper, narrow radio waves were recorded after an observation of about 30 hours during the months of April and May, last year, by an Australian telescope.

To date, researchers have not been able to find any factor on Earth or satellite that could cause these transmissions.

These observations took place as part of the "Breakthrough Listen" project, which attempts to locate broadcasts in outer space in the hope that they attest to some intelligent life.

To date, all detected transmissions have been detected as radio waves originating on Earth.

Although in the present case there is still no evidence for this, it is estimated that a national explanation for the radio waves will be found.

However, the direction of the radio wave transmitted at a frequency of 980MHz and a change in its frequency made in coordination with the movement of the planet, added to the fascinating nature of the discovery. 

Although since the detection of these radio waves last year they have not been repeated, the researchers claim that this is the first significant discovery since, 1977 when signals were discovered from a space called,! WOW this after astronomer Jerry Haman wrote next to his findings WOW.

The "Breakthrough Listen" project was launched 5 years ago by Yuri Milner, and has won the support of renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking who called it "critical".
