A team of scientists from the SETI Institute, University of California Davis and the Alaska Whale Foundation, had a close encounter with a non-human (aquatic) intelligence. The Whale-SETI team has been studying humpback whale communication systems in an effort to develop intelligence filters for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Not buying it. None of the articles detail anything about any effective two way communication. Basically the boat blasted a duck call and a curious whale came over and left after 15 minutes of Nickelback gibberish.
Kinda like when you stand in your kitchen and meow at the cat and he looks at you like wtf dude then walks away.
