And the Arecibo antenna could detect transmissions from another Arecibo size antenna anywhere in the galaxy if it were aimed at the Earth yet we find no such message. The theory that ET is deliberately hiding from us is no theory at all because is not provable. if they don't want us to find them we haven't a snowball's chance in hell of doing so, besides I don't see why they'd think we were worth all that effort. The reason is probably the simplest, we can't detect ET's because they don't exist.
