Loeb posits that these massive bursts of energy might actually be a part of a near-light-speed propulsion system not unlike the solar sails mankind is currently experimenting with. 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.

Ah, the familiar "might be" coupled with the reflexive good alien explanation. These energy bursts also might be the signature of the death star, with each massive burst of energy marking the destruction of another rebel planet. It will require much additional research to confirm or disprove this conjecture, but in the meantime, the precautionary principle clearly requires that we shut down all electromagnetic emissions on Earth to mask ourselves from this potential threat. The EU is especially keen on this; I would expect them to act immediately. This evidence, after all, is already far more compelling than the scientific case against GMO's, and the precautionary principle, we are told, is a moral imperative.

It’s God and He’s not happy with what’s happening here. Abortion, political injustice, children trafficking.....

“.....they could propel a craft that weighs millions of tons at velocities that are approaching the speed of light.”

The practical problem is that the speed of light is too slow. IF these bursts really were signals, they were sent millions of years ago. In eternity, God’s people will travel at the speed of THOUGHT. THAT’s more like it.

Obviously it’s communication over a subspace channel from Putin to Trump giving him his orders for the week.

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.

Yeah, the MOTIES have gone Crazy Eddie again.

Space is a very noisy place NASA has some sound you can hear.
