Indeed, seems that everyone that has looked at it has marked it as at 
least worth spending more time looking at.  I think the quote from 
Arthur C Clark chimes well here:

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are 
not. Both are equally terrifying.”

Also kinda fits in with what Michio Kaku and others have been saying.  
The types of civilisations potentially out there based on their energy 
production/consumption.  This potentially fits in with the REALLY 
advanced type III civilisations that are capable of directly harnessing 
entire stars as energy sources.

Like you say, If they can/could do that ~1500 years ago they most likely 
know about us and, lets face it, could probably get here as well.
