If I had to guess, it would be something fairly mundane, such as the Allen Telescope Array reaching some milestone in construction and implementation, or perhaps a new donor to aid in the ATA project getting further scaled up. If it were detection of a ET signal, I don't think it would be kept secret very well.

Hum,
perhaps the results from the 57th International Astronautical Congress: BRINGING SPACE CLOSER TO PEOPLE, that was held in Valencia, Spain - October 2-6?

Well, and thats it.

Editor's update: for all of you out there who have been waving your arms around and speculating, this is not an announcement about finding a signal from ETs, the face on Mars, or anything else. It is far more mundane. Details of the announcement were released - under press embargo - to reporters last week. A press release about the announcement will be issued on Tuesday by the SETI Institute.

OK, this should be going on right now, but I can't find coverage or a video stream. Does anyone know where we can see this?
