ET calling us from outer space? Additional six radio signals received from the same location in space

Scientists detected another 6 radio signals from the outer region of the Milky Way galaxy where they had previously discovered similar 10 other signals since March.

Signals emanating from the far region lasts only milliseconds but surprisingly it can generate as much energy as the sun in one day. These leads to the speculation of most scientists that there might be some extraterrestrial civilization that tries to communicate with us or just a collision of stars that radiate radio signals into the space.

According to Newsmax, in 2012, scientists recorded receiving the first signals from Puerto Rico at the Arecibo radio telescope within just 10 mins of each other.

"We report on radio and X-ray observations of the only known repeating fast radio burst (FRB) source, FB121102", researchers from McGill University in Canada wrote in The Astrophysical Journal explains as they record the first signals received.

However, based on the report released last December 20, another 6 more radio signal bursts coming from the same source, FB121102, were detected. Five of these radio signals was captured by the Green Bank Telescope at 2 GHz and one at Arecibo Observatory. A total of 17 radio burst coming from the same FB121102.

In the article posted in Science Alert, there are 2,000 FRB firing across the Universe every day but, they are so incredibly short-lived that somehow scientist finds struggling just to detect the signal.

The discovery of FRB brings back to 2007 but not until late this year when researchers were now quick enough to see one event in real time.

Based on the specific way, researchers' lower frequency is slowed and suggests that FRB detected came from a very long way away and thus, contradicts to the idea that FRB came from within our galaxy.

In addition, the leading hypothesis for the source of the milky way' FRB is coming from the exotic object such as a young neuron star that is rotating with enough power to regularly emit the extremely bright pulses.

Aside from all of these, without more evidence to go on, researchers cannot say yet for sure what's going on.

The research team writes, "Whether FRB is unique object in the currently known samples of FRBs, or all FRBs are capable of repeating, its characterization is extremely important to understanding fast extragalactic radio transients."

Detecting more FRBs, either from outside or inside the Milky Way, and nailing down it once and for all to where they were coming is a race against time. Strange events could also provide insights about the mysteries of the Universe.
