Mysterious never-before-seen deep space radio signal found beyond Milky Way

A team of astronomers says they have detected a never-before-heard radio signal that offers insights into the mystery of uncharted deep space.

This signal is known as a Fast Radio Burst (FRB), a bright flash of radio light lasting for a few milliseconds and originating from beyond the Milky Way.

Some FRBs repeat themselves, and a new study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has shed new light. The study has detected a highly active repeating FRB signal behaving differently than anything previously detected.

"This work is exciting because it provides both confirmation of known FRB properties and the discovery of some new ones," said lead author Sofia Sheikh, of the SETI Institute in California.

Over a two-month period, Sheikh and other scientists observed 35 FRBs from a single source, FRB 20220912A. They discovered a fascinating pattern emerging from their observations.

Most repeating FRBs gradually get lower in pitch as they go on, according to astronomers. However, FRB 20220912A is different. It has a never-before-seen change in pitch that sounds like a cosmic slide-whistle which can be heard when the data is converted into a sound clip using a xylophone.

The high-pitched notes are at the beginning of the clip, while the low-pitched notes are at the end, like someone playing a xylophone and repeatedly hitting the lowest note, scientists at the SETI Institute report.

LOL!

We who are born into patterns create devices to detect patterns and when we find patterns it’s suddenly big news. The myopia of observers is inversely proportionate to . . . the dystopia of Justin Bieber.

I suspect this is B.S. One of the possibilities of the next “scam” to lock down and control the people of our nation is a “alien” contact or landing from another being from a different planet. Lock-downs and more money from the tax-payers will be the only response for such an event. Let the experts handle it as we all cower inside in the dark so as to not draw attention or spread fear or conspiracy theories.

“Most repeating FRBs gradually get lower in pitch as they go on”

That’s strange it seems the repeating FJB is only getting more intense.

What gives?

They’re seeing radio signals? Was that before or after having the mushrooms?
