A speculated alien signal detected by a group of scientists has been revealed, describing it to root from thousands of light years from the planet Earth. While the intrigued astronomers are still investigating the real source of the radio bursts, a big portion of their suspicions points out to the works of an extraterrestrial intelligence.
Scientists from the Green Bank Telescope of West Virginia along with the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico reportedly have detected six waves of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) that might have come from the deep space as noted by The Astrophysical Journal. The said mysterious radio signals are speculated to come from the Auriga constellation which is about three billion light-years away from the Earth. This is however not the first incident as another series of FRB were detected in 2007.
Experts of the astronomical community are now discussing the probable source of the supposed alien signal detected by the said scientists. Speculations though about the FRB do not point out totally to alien life force as stellar collisions can also one count of FRB. A single FRB reportedly can last only for a few millisecond. It can, however, contain an enormous amount energy which is assumed to of the same amount of energy produced by the Sun in a month.
The multiple radio waves then can be accounted to cosmic events such as solar flares rooting from neutron stars which can produce such repeating signals. While this seems to be a more factitious theory, the possibility for extraterrestrial activities cannot be eliminated according to scientists.
It can be recalled that physicist John Learned along with the astronomer Michael Hippke have speculated back in 2015 that FRBs can result from either bursts of radio waves or come from a spy satellite which can disguise its transmission so that it can appear as radio signals from the outer space. It was also pointed out though that the signal can be a result of alien intelligence trying to make contact with other species throughout the cosmos. Some scientists are also worried to confirm the signal's source as it may be dangerous to make contact with an alien life as noted by Daily Mail.
There is no solid evidence for these yet, but scientists are now making moves to figure out the real source of these signals. If the FRBs are found out to be a series of alien signal detected from the deep space, then experts claim that human technology and civilization could be thousands of years behind the extraterrestrial intelligence.
