Radio signals being sent from deep space: Are ALIENS trying to contact us? SCIENTISTS have discovered for the first time radio signals originating from deep in the universe being sent on repeat sparking speculation aliens could be trying to contact us. Last week, scientists managed to trace a mysterious radio flash that they received in 2007 back to a distant galaxy. Only 17 of the fast radio bursts (FRBs) have been detected, including 10 over June and July last year. It had been thought that the mysterious bursts – which are extremely intense and last just a millisecond – comes from two ultra-dense neutron stars colliding and that it a one of flash which emit as much energy in a second than the sun does in 10,000 years. However, they have now discovered that the bursts are repeating, causing more of a stir in the scientific community as it seemingly disproves the neutron theory and opens the way to the potential of alien origin. James Cordes, an astronomy professor at Cornell University, said: “We’re showing that whatever battery drives FRBs, it can recharge in minutes. “The energy of the event becomes very problematic. “We’re detecting these FRBs from very far away, which means that they are intrinsically very bright.
