That might depend entirely on what sort of proof you got.

That depends on the details about the individual patterns.

At this point I'm convinced that if there are beings who can travel between
star systems they're able to absorb electromagnetic radiation when they want to
for energy. If so that would explain why they can't be detected with radar. It
would also mean that they could avoid being seen unless they want to be seen,
so
all "sightings" of them would be deliberate, imo.
