Abstract:

Three decades of conventional SETI-experiments cover only a negligible part of the Galaxy ‘s age, but more effective approaches could cover billions of years without any speculations about the desire and means of extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) to communicate with us. It is shown that the Moon is a good indicator of ETI presence in the considerable part of the Galaxy during past 4 Gyr. Moreover, the Earth is a natural collector of ETI artefacts (debris, trash, etc.) which could spontaneously fall on our planet.
