Disinfo: Radio Signal Detected from Beyond the Solar System

Mysterytpodia says: Remember that WOW signal detected by SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) from 1977?

A Durban University of Technology teacher and his students have apparently found the first radio signal from outside our Solar System, possibly from an alien source. Yes, you read it correctly the first time, but go ahead, read it again. On the evening of July 28th, 2008, at 21h14 hours (local time) the Indlebe Radio Telescope, detected a strong source from Sagittarius A, the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, approximately 30 thousand light years away from Earth. To put this achievement into perspective, think about it this way. The energy gained by a grain of rice falling 2 cm in Earth's gravity, onto a plate, is more than the total energy received by all the radio telescopes in the world operating...
