I'm more inclined to believe that it would be a solar conjunction actually. The scenerio would be that they lost track of their bird and started tracking the sun. Since we all know that old Sol is an excellant originating point of radiated noise, surely with that much noise, and a solid lock on it, the odds of its random noise being something decipherable are much more acceptable than normal.

Solar cycle 24 started in August '09; we're ramping up on the way out of a more serious than usual sunspot minimum. We've seen great increases in CPU and memory speeds as well as disk densities since the last maximum (March 2000). Speccing ECC memory is a reasonable start, but this sort of thing has been a problem in the past (anyone remember the Sun UltraSPARC CPUs that had problems last time around?) and will no doubt bite us again.
