The potentially alien signal recently discovered by astronomers was actually caused by an old Soviet military satellite, Russia’s state-run news agency TASS confirmed Wednesday.

“We, indeed, discovered an unusual signal,” Alexander Ipatov, Director of the Institute of Applied Astronomy at the Russian Academy of Sciences, told TASS. “However, an additional check showed that it was emanating from a Soviet military satellite, which had not been entered into any of the catalogs of celestial bodies.”

Russian scientists with the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) discovered the signal in May, 2015, with the RATAN-600 radio telescope in Russia supposedly coming from the star HD 164595. The astronomy blog Centauri Dreams obtained a document from SETI that confirmed the signal. The blog also obtained a presentation of the study that will be presented at the 67th International Astronautical Congress (IAC).
