Abstract:

The search for extraterrestrial life is one of the most exciting frontiers in Astronomy
The weird interstellar object 'Oumuamua may be a technological relic from another civilization
Our civilization will mature once we find out who resides on our cosmic street by searching with our best telescopes for unusual electromagnetic flashes, industrial pollution of planetary atmospheres, artificial light or heat, artificial space debris or something completely unexpected.
