It's not like it's E.T's mom trying to call her son

Strange radio signals are coming from the direction of the centre of the galaxy and we aren’t sure what is emitting them. They turn on and off seemingly at random, and their source must be unlike anything else we have seen before.

Very interesting nevertheless.

In 2019 there was ‘BLC-1’ which was a single tone, single frequency transmitting on 982.002 MHz from the direction of the habitable zone of Proxima Centauri system. It could have been a satellite in earth orbit that moved or someone’s raggedy old microwave popping popcorn. Because unlike the the 1977 ‘wow’ signal, BLC-1 is no longer transmitting. Gonna take a few years to figure it out.

It also had a blue shift which seems to indicate it was heading towards earth. :o:yep:

"Astronomical objects that have a changing magnetic field can produce radio waves. "

https://science.nasa.gov/ems/05_radiowaves

"Redshift and blueshift describe how light shifts toward shorter or longer wavelengths as objects in space (such as stars or galaxies) move closer or farther away from us. The concept is key to charting the universe's expansion."

Ah, so there it is! Finally. I lost it a couple of days ago and could not figure where I put it, I wondered where it is, and now I know. But I wonder how it got there, I mean its a bit far away, isn't it? Did any of you guys play a trick on me?

Don't you think they have investigate if this should be the case ?

I'm convinced it's of natural origin, not an alien produced signal
Even though it would be a sensation if it was.

Skybird. Good question how did it get there ??

Edit
As it says in the end of the article
"It could turn out to be part of a known class of objects, just a weird example, but that’ll push the boundaries of how we think those classes behave.”

Interesting. Back when I was looking into how far can radio waves travel before they get diffused or breakdown (sorry I don't remember an answer it varied on circumstances) I saved this on Earths radio signals.

If it's from the center of our Galaxy?
Probably a fart.

Coming from the direction of the center of the Milky Way. That could be anything from local to our solar system to something 25,800 light years away. It must be a tax return...

Wrong thread for that nonsense. :shucks:

Maybe it’s an alien version of Kamala Harris broadcasting ‘Do not come’

If this signal is coming from the center of our galaxy then it has been on its way for millions of years.

So if should be aliens(I doubt it very much) they may all be dead by now.

As I said before it has an natural origin, maybe Arlo is correct when he mentioned magnetar shifting polarity(magnetic field) but does it in way we haven't seen before.

Let's keep politics in the appropriate thread, please.
