论文摘要
审查论点是为了支持以下假设：ET更有可能发送物理探针来监视我们的太阳系并与地球进行通信，而不是与星际广播，红外或激光信标的远处进行交流。尽管用强大的望远镜靶向单个恒星或星系的标准旋转练习可能会通过偶然性检测到前景的局部探针，但故意狩猎这些探针将需要一组不同的策略，最明显地牺牲了敏感性（需要检测一个非常微弱且非常遥远的信号），以换取宽广的视野，因为局部信号可以相互关联（相互降低）。本文提出了许多检测局部ET探针的策略。
Arguments are reviewed in support of the hypothesis that ET would more likely send physical probes to surveil our Solar System and communicate with Earth than to communicate from afar with interstellar radio, infrared or laser beacons. Although the standard SETI practice of targeting individual stars or galaxies with powerful telescopes might detect a foreground local probe by serendipity, an intentional hunt for those probes would entail a different set of strategies, most notably sacrificing sensitivity (needed to detect a very faint and very distant signal) in exchange for a widened field-of-view (because a local signal can be reasonably hypothesized to be relatively bright). This paper suggests a number of strategies to detect local ET probes.
