Mysterious fast radio bursts from outer space: Astronomers baffled, admit they could be alien in origin

2014-07-29 14:36:30| Extremetech

Since 2001, the Parkes radio telescope in Australia has been picking up mysterious, unidentified bursts of energy that astronomers have since dubbed 'fast radio bursts.' At first, because no other telescope in the world had ever seen these bursts, it was assumed that these FRBs were probably just glitches in the telescope's electronics -- but now, 13 years later, a telescope on the other side of the planet in Puerto Rico has detected an FRB. No one knows what's causing these FRBs, but it's almost certainly something very exotic, like an intelligent alien civilization.
