Fast Radio Bursts, or FRBs, have only been heard 18 times and have been a puzzle to scientists since they were detected in 2007. Nobody knows where they could be coming from or how they might be triggered, with speculation ranging from a huge star, jets of material shooting out of a black hole – or even aliens.

  1. The funniest (and saddest?) comment I read in this connection was something like this: Aliens discovered earth and noticed some species there (humans). They discussed with each other whether these creatures (us) are intelligent. One alien to the other: ‘I don’t think so. They have Atomic weapons and they are targeting each other’. !!!
