SETI is the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. The first modern SETI experiment was conducted by Frank Drake, an astronomer from Cornell University when he pointed a 26 meter diameter radio telescope in Green Bank, West Virginia at Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani. He discovered nothing remarkable, but listening to this area of space, named the "water hole" has continued. The first SETI conference was held in Green Bank, West Virginia November the next year. NASA began funding of SETI in 1970, but US support was withdrawn in 1995 by President Bill Clinton.
