These are the most likely sources that the astronomers think this radio signal came from:
“Hidden within an incredibly massive dataset, we found a very peculiar signal that matched all the known characterizes of a FRB, but with a tantalizing extra element that we simply have never seen before,” said team member Dr Jeffrey Peterson, of Carnegie Mellon University.
According to the astronomers, FRB 110523 originated around six billion light-years away inside a highly magnetized region of space, possibly linking it to a supernova or the interior of an active star-forming nebula.
That being said, they still don’t know for sure that it came from those sources. What do you think? Feel free to comment with your ideas.

And here is the related video that may or may not give any insight into this phenomena:
Telescopes have been picking up so-called fast radio bursts (FRBs) since 2001. They last just a few milliseconds and erupt with about as much energy as the sun releases in a month. No one knows what causes them, but the brevity of the bursts means their source has to be small – hundreds of kilometres across at most – so they can’t be from ordinary stars. And they seem to come from far outside the galaxy.
What do you think is causing them??
And yet another related video albeit it very far out there.
Whoever or whatever was the origin likely no longer exists
They need to start thinking outside the box.
As Mel Brooks once said, “A funny thing happened on the way to the forum….”
Interesante crap
Amy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They could exist
After 6 billion years?
Again, likely not.
The probability is incalculably low.
^ yeah very likely they are no longer around but who know
Negative thoughts. They could be extinct but they could be out there fucking up other civilizations or helping them out.
LOL the funniest part of some of these responses, is that you assume it was purpously beamed out by an EBE and not just a massive EM belch from a source which isn’t and hasn’t been alive… ever.
Peace out
