The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute is a privately-funded, not-for-profit institute that is, "dedicated to scientific research, education, and public outreach."[1].


History

The actual "search for extra-terrestrial life," as it is known today started around 1959 with the advent of radio astronomy. In 1960, Frank Drake, a radio astronomer using a 26-meter radio telescope in West Virginia conducted the first modern "SETI-style" search. The SETI Institute was formed in 1984.<ref>http://www.seti.org/news/media-information/history.php
