They have a few clues to its origin..
This type of event has only been detected a few times before. That being said they could and are likely to be happening more frequently. However finding them is a challenge. By using new methods to pour over enormous data sets, they are making progress in observation of these types of radio signals:
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) – mysterious bursts of energy from space that appear as a short flashes of radio waves to telescopes on Earth – have baffled astronomers since they were first reported nearly a decade ago. While only 16 have ever been recorded, they believe there could be thousands of FRBs a day.
By poring over 650 hours of data from NRAO’s Green Bank Telescope (GBT), an international group of astronomers uncovered the most detailed record ever of a FRB.
Let’s find out where they think it came from on page 2

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
