This was revealed in an upcoming study that shows how aliens may be able to spy on us using our radio signals.   According to a study headed by researcher Ramiro Caisse Saide of the University of Manchester, radar systems used to monitor aircraft at major airports like Heathrow in London and JFK in New York may generate radio waves powerful enough to be detected by extraterrestrial civilisations up to 200 light-years away.  The researchers examined how radio waves from military and civilian radar operations travelled…
