From Eureka to Verification: A Global, Transparent Post-Detection Framework for SETI

Post-detection, the International Academy of Astronautics' SETI Committee proposes a slow, transparent, internationally coordinated process that privately validates potential signals, seeks independent confirmations with open data and methods before any public announcement, protects researchers from harassment, requires broad international consultation before any Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence outreach, and maintains a standing post-detection sub-committee with evolving living documents, a framework Michael Garrett says would be one of humanity’s most transformative events.
