Yep - I was right.

Yes – it’s a fake story. Still, it would be interesting to see the mathematics showing the reflected signal strength from 25 light years away.

Why is this story fake? As pointed out on Skeptic Friends, the first clue was the date: April 1 2009. Secondly, the story site looked like a BBC webpage the URL was hosted at rimmel.com, not BBC.

this is something I actually get. I wonder whether this is evidence for multiverse, earth from the many verses sending back transmission. Or it could just be a modified lagrangian Apruphilian Reflection.
well, I have always felt that we are not limited by our compassion or by our passion or resources but by our economy.
