Ignore that “Kepler Search Space” notation in the first image I posted. It was just some random image I found to depict our approximate location in the Milky Way galaxy. Don’t know what it refers to.

It's possible that the bursts are produced by intelligent extraterrestrials, perhaps to blast space-sailing craft through the cosmos at incredible speeds,

Scoff if you like, but, you know, if those extra-terrestrials were travelling at the speed of light, they'd be getting here just now.

Mysterious light flashes? Somewhere on a distant planet a kid is shinning a flashlight up into the night sky and flicking the on off switch.

$100 million effort

Look! I'm probably more interested in astronomy than most folks, but this $100 mil here, $100 mil there nonsense has to stop. This is all taxpayer money.
