Second time I’ve done this today. Didn’t sleep well last night, so I’ll blame that..
Or!....
Is it outer-space aliens from outer-space flying around their home solar system in outer-space cars and “thumping” to show off how powerful their radio transmitters are.
You know, like idiots here on earth do in their cars with their stereos.
Weird radio signals may have even freakier source than aliensWow. The entire energy output of the sun for an entire day sent out in a millisecond flash!Whatever it is, it's a good thing we're about 3 billion light-years away from it. In a flash lasting less than a millisecond, the source of the bursts radiates the same amount of energy as the total output of our sun for a whole day. "If we had one of these on the other side of our own galaxy -- the Milky Way -- it would disrupt radio here on Earth, and we'd notice, as it would saturate the signal levels on our smartphones," said Shami Chatterjee, senior research associate in astronomy at Cornell University.
In 2017, Professor Avid Loeb, from the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in the US, proposed that FRBs could be leakage from planet-sized alien transmitters. He said that rather than being designed for communication, they would more likely be used to propel giant space ships powered by light sails, which would bounce the beams off a huge reflective sheet to provide forward thrust.
In 2018, Professor Loeb proposed the idea that the weird object "Oumuamua" could be a light sail from a far-off civilization because it was exhibiting strange, unexplained accelerations. Wild Idea: What If Interstellar Visitor 'Oumuamua' Is an Alien Light Sail?
Yep, if aliens did in fact send this signal, then they’re likely long dead as a species already. I hate getting delayed emails.
The pulses may have been going on for eons, but were only first detected on September 16, 2018.
pulsars emit regularly - once every revolution
or a very slowly rotating pulsar?

Alas there are no aliens.
They’ve been able to partially decipher the signals.....something about renewing the extended warranty on our cars.
We probably need to watch this one again: Contact

That, or they're Michael Bloomberg ads ...
