"Landmark Discovery: Humans Communicate with Humpback Whales"

Researchers from the SETI Institute report what may be the first conversation between humans and humpback whales, using recorded whale noises to initiate communication with a humpback named Twain off the coast of Alaska. The goal is to develop filters for potential extraterrestrial signals by studying non-human communication systems, and the team will now study the non-audio communicative behavior of humpback whales. This approach offers a more powerful tool for examining animal communication and may hold promise for the future of biology.

Whale Communication: A Gateway to Alien Contact?

Scientists have reported a 20-minute "conversation" with a humpback whale named Twain, where the whale responded to recorded whale calls. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of California, Davis, the SETI Institute, and the Alaska Whale Foundation, suggests that this preliminary research could provide insights into communicating with other intelligent species, both on Earth and potentially beyond. The researchers believe that this study could be a starting point for future attempts to communicate with extraterrestrial life.

"Whale-SETI: Scientists Achieve Groundbreaking Communication with Humpback Whales, Paving the Way for Alien Contact"

Scientists from the SETI Institute have reported what may be the first conversation between humans and humpback whales in the whales' own language. The conversation took place off the coast of Alaska, where a humpback whale named Twain approached and circled the researchers' boat, responding in a conversational style to a recorded humpback 'contact' call played into the sea. This research aims to explore interspecies communication and develop filters to apply to potential extraterrestrial signals. The findings were published in the science journal PeerJ.
