We searched the Milky Way Plane along a 6-deg swath for pulses of monochromatic light as faint as 15th mag (V band) using a wide-field telescope equipped with a prism. Pulses with duration less than 1 s that occur more often than once every 10 min would be detected, and pulses arriving less frequently would be detected with proportionally lower probability. A 'difference-image' algorithm revealed 36 monochromatic sources. Subsequent assessment showed all were simply astrophysical objects emitting known atomic emission lines. No unexplainable monochromatic emission, pulsed or continuous, was detected. The detection threshold corresponds to an ∼70 GW laser having a diffraction-limited 10-m aperture 1 kpc away (depending on wavelength). Past all-sky optical and radio-wave surveys revealed thousands of unexpected objects exhibiting extraordinary spectral emission, but none were technological. Hypotheses of our Milky Way Galaxy teeming with advanced life must be demoted.
