Whale experts and alien hunters have come together and have successfully exchanged conversations with the aquatic mammals.
In a study published last month in the peer-reviewed journal PeerJ, scientists from UC Davis, the Alaska Whale Foundation, and SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) teamed up and unveiled how they had a 20-minute conversation with a humpback whale named Twain in her own language.
The scientists sailed a boat off the coast of Alaska and played what’s called a “contact call” into the ocean to see if any whales would respond, Science Alert reported.
