Aliens 200 Light-Years Away Could Detect Our Airports, Scientists Say
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 8 – Airport radar systems emit 2 quadrillion watts of signals detectable up to 200 light-years away, potentially revealing Earth's location to advanced alien civilizations, researchers say.
- A new study suggests that intelligent extraterrestrial life could detect Earth's airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, and JFK, as signs of human civilization from 200 light-years away.
- Airport radar systems emit a powerful radio signal of 2x10^15 watts, strong enough to be detected by advanced radio telescopes.
- Lead researcher Ramiro Caisse Saide stated that these signals would appear 'clearly artificial' to observers using powerful telescopes from space.
- Co-Researcher Professor Michael Garrett emphasized that understanding how our signals travel can help protect the radio spectrum and benefit various fields like astronomy and planetary defense.

Aliens could use Heathrow Airport as homing beacon to find us, experts reveal
HUMANS have been searching for aliens for decades – but all this time intelligent extraterrestrial life could have found us, according to a new study. Heathrow Airport has been acting as a sort of homing beacon to find us, experts at the Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting (NAM 2025) in Durham revealed.
