Scientists pick up deep space signals which could PROVE aliens are trying to contact humanity

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.

That is my favorite Jack Nicholson / Rodney King quote in the movie. :-)

Not to mention that they might have solved the whole problem with gravity, “warp” speed, etc...

Anything that could travel to us would either want to rule us, kill us, eat us or and other combination.

It could also be the microwave oven next door too.

I remember that fiasco when the scientists thought they were getting signals from space only to discover by accident it was coming from a nearby microwave oven that would emit the signals when it was shut down by opening the door and not by being shut off correctly. -Tom

3 billion years, actually. Before earth had an oxygen atmosphere. Very forward looking, these aliens.

The enviro-wackos would have a fit about that!

The good news is, they have no idea we exist, even if they still exist.

We are a needle in a gazillion-gazillion haystacks.

Obama and Kerry need to be launched into space immediately to make contact and assure these creatures, whoever they are, that we only want peace ...

Two points:

First, any story on science or medicine from a UK newspaper is bunk. No need to even read when you see the source.

Second, I have decided on my dream job. I want to be a highly paid futurist like Ray Kurzweil. My first prediction - cars will one day drive themselves, but google will decide where.

Yep, we can’t possibly swear in a new president now until we get to the bottom of this.
