However,
there
has
not
been
since
Project
OXMA,
which
occurredin
Green
Bank
some
7
years
or
so
ago,
any
systematic
effort
in
this
country
to
look for
signals
of
intelligent extraterrestrial
origin.
There
is
at
the
present
time
a
fairly
major
effort
under
way
in
theSoviet
Union,
but
at
least
in
this
country
there
are
no
such
efforts
directed
specifically
to
this
question.
It
may
be
if
we
ever
do
detect
intelligent
signals
from
elsewhere,
it
will
be
an
accidental
byproduct
of
some
other
program. There
is
at
the
present
time
no
effort
to search
for
extraterrestrial signals.
Chairman
MILLER.
Are
they
trying
to
do
things
in Australia?
Dr.
SAGAN.
To
the
best
of
my
knowledge
there
is
no
such
work
being
done.
Chairman
MILLER.
The
Mills
-Cross
program
is
also
connected
with
Cornell,
isn't
it?
Dr. SAGAN.
The
Cornell
-Sydney
Astronomy
Center,
yes,
sir.
Chairman
MILLER.
Is
that
all,
Mr.
Hechler
?
Mr.
HECHLER.
I
was
hoping
you would
suggest
something
more
specific,
for
our
future
consideration.
Dr. SAGAN. Let
me
say,
and
again
let
me
emphasize
that
it
is
by no
means
demonstrated
that radio astronomical
searches
for
extrater-
restrial
intelligence
have
anything whatever
to
do
with
UFO's,
but
if
we
were
interested,
as
some
of us
are,
in
examining
the
possibility
of
extraterrestrial intelligence,
sending
signals
to
Earth,
then
rela-
tively
modest programs, of say
less
than
a
million
dollars,
could
be
organized,
using
largely existing
instruments
with
only small
modifica-tions
in the things
you hook
up
to the radio
telescope,
which wouldbe
ideal
for
this
purpose.
There
are in fact
many
radio
astronomers
who
are
privately
inter-
ested in
this
sort
of
thing,
but
it
carries
something of the
same
sort
of
stigma
that both
the previous speakers
mentioned about
UFO's.
It
is
unconventional.
It
is
in
many
senses
radical.
Many
astronomers
prefer
to
have
nothing
to
do
with
it.
Mr.
PETTIS.
Mr.
Chairman.
Mr.
ROUSH.
Mr.
Pettis.
Mr.
PErris.
I
would
like
to
ask the
doctor,
or
any
other
member
ofthe
panel.
Is
there
any
indication
that
any
other
Government,
par-
ticularly
the Russians,are
interested
in
this
subject?
Dr. SAGAN.
I
cannot speak about
the
UFO
program. Perhaps
Dr.
Hynek
can say something about
that.
As
far as the
question
that
I
just
mentioned, the radio search
for
extraterrestrial intelligence,
there
is
a
state
commission
in
the Soviet
Union,
for the
investigation
of cosmic
-radio
intelligence.
There
is
a
fairly
major
effort
that has been mustered for the
last
few
years
along
these
lines.
And
there
is
only
some
information about that that
we
have
gotten
out of the Soviet
Union.
I
don't
know
anything about
their
activities
on UFO's. Perhaps
Dr. Hynek
would
like
to
comment on
that.
Dr. HYNEK. May
I,
Mr.
Chairman,
preface
my
remark,
in
answerto that,
by
pointing out
a danger here that
we may
be putting the cart
before the horse in the consideration
of
extraterrestrial intelligence.
Speaking of
horses,
suppose someone comes here
and
tells
us, or
announces to
us there
is
a
report of a horse in the bath tub.
