The hunt is on, for infrequent comets. doi 10.1016/j.icarus.2021.114469.
According to this, we had identified five "long-period" [i.e. long-time-between-visits] comets whose spoor recurs here in meteor-showers. Now, SETI through Peter Jenniskens is doubling that.
As a side-note, SETI started out as - quite literally - a search for intelligent E.T. life. Obviously a dumb ol' space snowball ain't E.T. As for what I gotta say about 60 Minutes: they lied about George Walker Bush, they lied about Ron DeSantis [say what you will about both targets]; and they're lying now about UFOs. Still. I don't let what is bruited about in the media concerning ET prejudice me against SETI as an institute.
