# Searching for Extraterrestrial Civilizations Using gamma Ray Telescopes

## TL;DR

This paper explores the potential of gamma ray telescopes to detect black hole starships, suggesting they could be visible despite many uncertainties.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel method for searching for extraterrestrial civilizations via gamma ray observations of hypothetical black hole starships.

## Key findings

- Black hole starships may be detectable with gamma ray telescopes.
- Detection is possible despite many unknown factors.
- The study highlights a new avenue for extraterrestrial search methods.

## Abstract

We investigate looking for black hole starships using very high energy gamma ray telescopes. We find they would be above the threshhold of visibility although there are many unknown factors.
