For months she suggested the signals could be of an extraterrestrial intelligent origin, but they were later proven to be rapidly spinning stars known as pulsars.

    If they are aliens and they come for a visit, I hope they eat only liberals.

That big fire in the sky, every day, its a star, and a pretty modest one. It would be invisible to the naked human eye only 50 light years out.
