I read about the subject in Sir Fred Hoyles book "The Intelligent Universe".
Although I am no expert in the subject (or maybe because of that), the
book seemed fascinating. However I should read some critique of the theories
presented in it to be able to form my own opinion on the matter. In any
case I recommend reading that book.

As for the DNA messages, I think the messages were sent via microwave
or lazer or some form of signals duplicating DNA codes. And not by
sending an actual virus (friendly earthlings would'nt do a thing like
that, would they? I mean they have not confirmed that there is some
one there to harrass yet :-;  )
