Mystery of the 'alien' signals solved: Baffled astronomers trace source of noise to the observatory's kitchen MICROWAVE
Strange signals, known as perytons, originated near to the planet Scientists could not explain where they were coming from for decades They replicated signal by opening microwave door while still running
For years, scientists have been trying to uncover the source of mysterious radio signals being picked up in Australia.
Theories have ranged from evaporating black holes to extraterrestrial communication and mergers of neutron stars.
Now researchers at the Parkes Observatory claim they have finally found the source of these 'alien' signals - in their kitchen microwave.
Scientists knew the strange signals, known as perytons, originated somewhere near to the planet, but they had no idea just how close.
In fact, the microwave was next door in the staff kitchen and visitors centre at the observatory.

Rather the opposite of the discovery in the early ‘50s of the cosmic background radiation left over from the Big Bang. Those scientists thought at first that it was due to pigeon droppings in their parabolic antenna.

...Which is totally ironic, because the inside of my microwave looks like alien life.

You might have thought these eggheads would have just taken a moment or two to let the words ‘’mircowave radiation'' sink in. “Mirocwave radiation’’. Beams of intense heat radiating from an electronic device that cooks/heats water and or animal vegetable/ proteins very quickly . Hmmm....

At least they admitted it!
Had they been "climate scientists" the story might have gone something like:
"Climate scientists make shocking discovery: global warming is starting to cause common household appliances to emit deadly radiation. Additional funding will be needed to learn more."

Does Michael Mann work there?

Life imitates art. The Big Bang Theory had a very similar episode.
