Sounds like a difficult thing to study if most bursts only happen once.
And here I thought FRB was an acronym for us, standing for Free Republic [insert gender-specific pejorative term beginning with the letter B]...

Thrill seekers and conversationalists all across the starry sky.
Could just be K-EARTH oldies signal being picked up.
If they slow down the signal it will reveal the Big Bopper.
The radio bursts are simply a side effect as the ships massive engines gaining traction on the underside of the universe before reaching a sustained speed of 230 kilo-light hours.
Last signal sent was from a ship of the Super Plate Class was from the Very Huge Gravitas Surely relaying its schedule and is due (all things considered, and barring a annoying war bugging up the planned schedule) to arrive in the vicinity of Earth's outer solar system some time round 2020. The ship itself will swing wide - out to various nearby star systems while displacing those who want to have a look around; other parties will no doubt displace in small ships like demilitarized Rapid Offensive Units and the larger General Contact Vehicles favored by Special Circumstance. On the return pass all will be snap displaced back to the Very Huge Gravitas Surely.
Various parties have planned excursions to Iapetus (thought to be the long lost Universal Library because of its unnatural shape), Mars, and Luna. Earth itself will be given a wide birth so as not to scare the inhabitants who are rumored to be hot tempered and unreliable, although in is quite likely that some contingent of Special Circumstance will covertly land somewhere and do whatever it is they do. Just in case the locals get wind of this visit and decide to act up, Very Huge Gravitas Surely carries a compliment of Rapid Offensive Units Abominator Class, and a few of the older Torturer and Gangster classes. Note to the locals: any one of these ROUs can literally f---k the entire solar system before breakfast or before breaking out in a sweat ... stay cool.
