Bizarre flashes of cosmic light may actually be generated by advanced alien civilizations, as a way to accelerate interstellar spacecraft to tremendous speeds, a new study suggests.
Astronomers have catalogued just 20 or so of these brief, superbright flashes, which are known as fast radio bursts (FRBs), since the first one was detected in 2007. FRBs seem to be coming from galaxies billions of light-years away, but what's causing them remains a mystery.
"Fast radio bursts are exceedingly bright given their short duration and origin at great distances, and we haven't identified a possible natural source with any confidence," study co-author Avi Loeb, a theorist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said in a statement Thursday (March 9). "An artificial origin is worth contemplating and checking."

Yes, when they go in warp drive the sudden burst of energy leaves a cosmic chemtrail.

It could also be Space Godzilla coughing up a fur-ball.

Because of the inverse square law, it is nearly impossible that this could be a space drive system.
Firing up the drive system would incinerate entire planets.

Someone already suggested this, exactly 30 days ago.
Modesty inhibits me from saying who.

It could also be God shining a flashlight through the big black curtain to see if any of us are still alive in here.

LOL!! Now that would make a hilarious commercial with this story. Or maybe this flashlight.

“They aren’t claiming that FRBs are indeed caused by aliens.”
Okay, they’re setting us up for that meme, right?
