A young American scientist searching for intelligent aliens across the seven Earth doppelgängers that circle the red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 says that if this wondrous solar system holds an advanced space civilization, its own stargazers could be scanning the Earth in a mirror search mission.

Nick Tusay, who headed a study titled " A Radio Technosignature Search of TRAPPIST-1 with the Allen Telescope Array," tells me in an interview that although his team hasn't yet discovered any composed radio messages sent out from the TRAPPIST-1 planets, that doesn't rule out the existence of a spacefaring society there.

Tusay is a graduate researcher at Penn State University and its Extraterrestrial Intelligence Center, and teamed up with astronomers across the U.S. to look for narrowband radio transmissions beamed between the TRAPPIST-1 planets that might have "leaked" across interstellar distances, including to Earth.

"There could be a million mundane reasons we didn't detect anything that don't preclude the existence of an advanced civilization on one of the TRAPPIST-1 planets," Tusay says.

"It depends on how powerful their receivers are, and whether TRAPPIST-1 lines up with any signals we are sending out," Tusay says.

"Certainly we are leaking signals all the time, but you would need an extremely sensitive telescope to detect our leaked emission."
