Sounds like something you'd hear in a MiB movie. Do you think this news is based on anything believable?

The message appears to have come from a nearby star, HD164595, in the constellation Hercules. That star is 95 light years away – relatively close at the scale of the universe – and almost exactly the same size as Earth.
What’s more, that same star has at least one planet, HD164595b, which is roughly the size of Neptune and has a 40-day year. It’s this planet that has people excited, since it appears that it could have the right conditions for supporting life.
The signal came to public attention after it had been noted by science fiction author Paul Gilster, who maintains a blog that looks at deep space exploration and alien life. Until then it had gone unremarked – the signal was actually detected in May last year, and was only brought to light after a presentation by the scientists who found it.

This does not matter. Alien signals can be amped in a way, that they get here in days or weeks time, not years. Space from what the UFO E.T. community knows, is sometimes hostile and predator. If a place is going to send out a planetary distress call, then it had better know what it's doing.

No alien signal, says SETI astronomer | EarthSky.org
This one?
Notice how quick they are to jump and say it was a military satellite. Just like how quickly they said it was a weather balloon reflecting swamp gas during the Roswell incident.
