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.

The signal isn’t, but the source of it seems to be.

ATTEMPT NO FURTHER BLEACHING

Anything reported in the Sun is unreliable.
If it’s 3 billion years old, they are probably dead by now...............
If I got that message from space I would think someone was pulling my tentacles..................
Isn’t that a line from a Billy Joel number? Something about, “...your Cadillac-ack-ack-ack-ack.....!
It was a butt-call. They don’t know who they were calling.
Some slime wallowing around on the rocks........................
I trust the MSM.;-)
They want to know if we have Prince Albert in a can.
Three billion light years away. Somehow, I don’t think an attempt to contact humans is a very good theory, though we could probably sell Al Gore on it.
It’s the Blancmanges from the planet Sky-ron!
Someone needs to let them know that Earth is on the “Do Not Call” list.
“The first one to call back in the next ten minutes is the winner of our Super Galactic Mega Prize!”
“Let it ring until it stops. Then take it off the hook.”
Lemmme know if any signal shows the number...- 3.14159 etc etc
Then I’ll believe in aliens..Simple, Huh ?
They found Omuslims birth certificate. :-)
