“They chose the comms frequency to not be absorbed in the ionosphere, so, whoever wrote the quoted sentence above has no idea what they’re talking about.”

“Or someone sending us a message, and it isn’t aliens.”

Yeah, I was thinking about that possibility too. China or Russia shooting across our Bow. Or even a test of our own capabilities. We would test on a dead subject for sure, not one live and being used.

[Political Junkie Too]

The most recent significant solar flare to impact radio communications over the Pacific Ocean was an X1.9-class flare that erupted from sunspot region 4114 on June 19, 2025. This powerful flare triggered shortwave radio blackouts across the Pacific, including areas like Hawaii.
