SETI or theSearch for Extraterrestrial Intelligence is an activity revolving around searching foralien life. This is plainly a ridiculous idea asaliens don't exist.
Huxley Prescott hadDoc Greene build a SETI dish so he could try to weed out alien invaders inGriffin Rock. Unfortunately the only transmission he received was audio from the movieThe Natives of Tatooie, which he mistook for an alien invasion. In his eagerness to report on this, he left the dish on maximum power. The drain knocked out power across the town, and threatened to cause a power surge that would blow up the power station, potentially taking a large chunk out of the island. Consequently the dish had to be destroyed by theRescue Bots.The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock
Some years later,Cody Burns andFrankie Greene built a listening telescope that they claimed was more powerful than the SETI organization's entire assets. The telescope successfully made contact with theVelgrox. After the Velgrox invaded Griffin Rock, the telescope, still in contact with the Velgrox ship, was successfully able to pinpoint its location to thepower plant.New Normal
