As reported by Virtual Mirage, the Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has so far drawn a blank, disappointing xenologists and alien enthusiasts everywhere. But this may be about to change, thanks to a startling discovery by Chinese astronomers.
Baffled Chinese boffins have detected mysterious signals from a source 3 billion light years from earth. Known as Fast Radio Bursts (FRB), the enigmatic signals were picked up on the Celestial Kingdom's giant Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST).
Off-World
However, the signals so far remain unintelligible although one star gazer has wondered if FRBs are "deliberate wails" from space alien societies.
Enigma
"Are these some new cosmic phenomenon, an odd habit of nature that we never knew? Or could they be the deliberate wails of societies howling from the farthest corners of space?" questioned Senior Astronomer Seth Shostak.
An odd habit of nature, so much white noise from the icy void of deep space, or howling signals from an alien race?
You be the judge,
