Lasers Could <br />Attract Aliens, <br />Says MIT Study The study, published in<br />'The Astrophysical Journal,' suggests that lasers <br />could act like a <br />porch light for Earth, grabbing the attention <br />of extraterrestrials. Researchers theorize that <br />creating a 1 to 2 megawatt laser <br />focused through a telescope could produce a light strong enough to be seen outside of the sun's rays.

Clark hopes the study allows for the possibility of advancements in infrared imaging techniques. In theory, we could also detect a signal beamed from aliens to Earth.
