Astronomy experts with the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia and the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico have discovered six new Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) emitting from a region far beyond our Milky Way galaxy, according to a recent report in the Astrophysical Journal.
The discovery — made in the direction of the Auriga constellation — has prompted wild speculation that aliens could be trying to get in touch.
It is significant considering the fact that at least 17 FRBs have now been detected in this area and is the only known instance in which these signals have been found twice in the same location in space.
The region where the signals are coming from, dubbed FRB 121102 by scientists, is located about 3 billion light years away from earth.
Five of the recently found FRBs were detected with the Green Bank Telescope, while the other was recorded by the Arecibo Observatory, “for a total of 17 bursts from this source,” the report says.
The signals were also found earlier this year and in 2012.
According to experts, the FRBs could be the result of two things: solar flares from a neutron star or extra-terrestrials. But it’s still too early to tell.

Make sure we still have our humpback whales (Star Trek: The Voyage Home was on the Space Channel here last night, lol).

Consider the source.
It’s quite premature to call them ‘signals’ at this point. Lots of stuff going on in outer space that we don’t understand or even know about yet.... But signals? Fat chance.
They were trying to contact you. That was sent billions of years ago.

“the FRBs could be the result of two things: solar flares from a neutron star or extra-terrestrials.”
Yup, that pretty much sums it up, since scientists know everything there is to know about the cosmos. Sounds like a request for a grant is forthcoming as well.
Translated, the message reads:

No it might prove they are trying to contact someone. I doubt they know we are here.
It could also be the microwave oven next door too.
LOL! “Can’t we all just learn to get along!”
Great. Now we are getting robo-called from outer space. One more reason not to bundle.
Omni directional and quasi bi dimensional bifurcated signal invertors were used and guess what?
The signals have been decoded using our new phase splitting multi transmogrified systems.
The message was. “If A guy named Trump lives on your rock, tell him to contact us when he becomes your President. We wish to do business with him so he can make us great again.”
That message will be one helluva charge on our data bill. Plus fees, of course.
Of course, this would mean tens of billions in new budget requests by greedy “scientists.” We can’t manage the current mess on earth, so we really don’t need to try to find aliens.
Unless, of course, they've also figured out this mortality thing ;-)
1. Flay one medium sized man...
They’re trying to get in contact with us? As per the article, the source is 3 billion light years away, so they were actually trying to get in touch 3 billion years ago. Who did they want to talk to?
If the planet is 3 billion light years away, doesn’t that mean that the message was sent three billion years ago? We weren’t around then. Not much of anything was. Looks like the message wasn’t for us. ;0)
