SETI sent a message from Mars to Earth to simulate how aliens' attempts at communication may play out.
The mysterious message is posted online for anyone to study and attempt to decode.
This is a test conducted by the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute to determine how well humanity could decipher a real message sent by aliens.
But it seems that at least one group is fast-tracking their way to solving the mysterious message.
But de Paulis told Wired that "if we ever received an extraterrestrial signal, scientists won't know where the noise ends and where the actual message begins.
