An Australian physicist at Perth Observatory sez:

There's a closed mailing list for SETI signal verification, and a BBC
reporter is on it. Someone anonymously faked moderation on a post and
claimed to have seen signals, and the BBC guy reported it before
checking further, becuase he assumed everyone on the list was vaguely
'legit'. Nobody else has seen the 'signals' and the data that was
posted looks bogus... >
