Scientists claim aliens could be sending us “tweets”

In a way akin to Twitter aliens could have been sending us short messages for years according to scientists.

They could have been using cosmic ‘tweets’ to contact us for decades, researchers claim – but we have been missing them.

While any ‘lost in space’ messages wouldn’t exactly be restricted to 140 characters, as on the website, a study suggests ET is more likely to send out short, directed messages than continuous signals beamed in all directions.
