As recently as two years ago, SETI began picking up a different kind of signal one that scientists cant explain but believe that it isnt born out of an attempt to communicate: fast radio bursts (FRBs). These FRBs are massively powerful; so powerful, in fact, that the leading natural explanation scientists can come up with is that theyre from highly magnetized neutron stars, blasted by gas streams near to a supermassive black hole.
The problem with that explanation is that the bursts arent all coming from one specific place, but they are all coming from one specific region of space. That means, based on SETIs readings, that those specific circumstances would need to be commonplace within galaxy FRB 121102 (where the signals are coming from) but not common at all elsewhere in the known universe. If they were, these FRBs would be picked up from all-around us all the time, rather than from one specific galactic neighborhood. While FRBs have been picked up from other parts of space, they have never been recorded with the frequency or regularity scientists have seen out of galaxy FRB 121102.
Others contend that they may be signs of an advanced alien civilization operating in galaxy FRB 121102, though surprisingly, most of those theories suggest that the radio signals actually have nothing at all to do with communication.
A planet-sized power source could potentially release a massive burst of energy that propels a spacecraft like wind on a sail. Based on the amount of energy released in each burst, Loeb says they could propel a craft that weighs millions of tons at velocities that are approaching the speed of light.

FRB 121102 “... a dwarf galaxy over 3 billion light-years from Earth”
so that would be billions not millions of years ago. If these FRBs are artificial, the culture that generated them has long either perished or sublimed ...
Or, traveling at near speed of light, they may be just about ready to arrive in our solar system because all the aliens races always seem to pick our star out of the billions of others in this galaxy.
Or, they could be going to another galaxy entirely.
When a giant cockroach named bingo tells you God went out for a beer, you better believe him.
Obviously it’s communication over a subspace channel from Putin to Trump giving him his orders for the week.
I’ll check it out
Someone pushed the red button.
It’s a 12 year old alien kid who’s powering up his death ray to take out Earth.
Anyone out there who could return a signal is far more advanced than we are. Having SETI is a very bad thing.
If that were the case, they would almost be here....if heading in this direction....time to keep our eyes open.....;-)

Yeah, the MOTIES have gone Crazy Eddie again.
Space is a very noisy place NASA has some sound you can hear.
Thanks BenLurkin.

Hey anything sounds good to the crazy it’s why they check under their beds at night for pods.
I bet there are pods there...empty ones. The pods are the ones these lunatics emerged from.
Sure looks like it.
