If two radio telescopes pick them up at the same time, then you got something, so far that hasn't happened.

The Arecibo radio telescope in Porto Rico and the Parkes radio telescope in Australia are situated such that they aren't able to point in the same direction at the same time. Arecibo is (18° 20' 33" N) above the equator and (66° 44' 57" W) of the prime meridian. Parks is (32° 59' 43" S) below the equator and (148° 16' 4.4" E) of the prime meridian.

Yup, know all that, LOL.

What I'm saying is that an extremely short (a few milliseconds) burst needs to be confirmed by two independent radio telescopes, at the same time, in order to eliminate electronic noise/glitch in the equipment.

I do realize that is a tall order and would occur strictly by accident probably.

I wouldn't mind seeing images of the two different bursts displayed on an oscilloscope showing the exact timing (duration) of each and characteristics of each as the amplitude ramps up.

Would like to see what is the next fastest burst, ever recorded of a proven cosmic event, for comparison purposes.

Some folks are interested in that type of exact detail.

Really enjoy weird scientific anomalies more than *same old, same old* easily explainable or possibly explainable events.

Regards :)
