Researchers confirm that mysterious radio waves are actually coming from outer space

The truth is out there — somewhere. Researchers at the Australian National University’s Swinburne University of Technology have confirmed that short bursts of radio waves that had stumped astronomers since their discovery are actually coming from far, far beyond Earth.

The Fast Radio Bursts, or short, intense pulses of radio light, were first picked up at Australia’s Parkes Observatory nearly 10 years ago, according to a statement released Monday by the Swinburne University of Technology. 

According to researchers, the FRBs are “about a billion times more luminous” than anything that’s been observed within our own galaxy.But for a long time, scientists couldn’t determine from where, exactly, the bursts were originating. Read more. (4/4/2017 10:03 AM)

FLAIR FLIGHT   A Contrast-enhanced Image Produced From The Hubble Images Of Comet ISON Taken April

FLAIR FLIGHT   A contrast-enhanced image produced from the Hubble images of comet ISON taken April 23, 2013 reveals the subtle structure in the inner coma of the comet; the coma decreases in brightness proportionally to the distance from the nucleus.  Comet ISON, thought to have travelled from the Oort Cloud surrounding our solar system beginning a million years ago, will make its closest approach to the Sun on Thursday.  (Photo: NASA via AP / The Telegraph)

China’s giant alien-hunting telescope is ready

Our alien-hunting game just got a lot stronger with the completion of a huge radio telescope in the Guizhou province of China. It’s called the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), and it’s designed to listen for signs of alien life out in the cosmos. The telescope is finished, but the construction was not without human rights controversy.

The Black Knight

The Black Knight

The Black Knight is a mysterious artificial satellite that’s been orbiting our planet transmitting radio signals that we’ve been intercepting for quite some time now. Nikola Tesla was the first person to intercept these strange radio transmissions in 1899 while building a radio device in Colorado Springs. Since then, the radio signals from this object have been consistent.

In 1957 the Black Knight was seen “shadowing” the Sputnik 1 craft in orbit. At this time it was determined that the mysterious Black Knight was in polar orbit. Satellites in polar orbit are classified as observational satellites, they’re typically used for mapping and reconnaissance. Is it possible that this satellite is of extraterrestrial origin, and is sending radio signals back to its home with observations of our planet? It can’t be of human origin, humans didn’t have the capabilities of putting a satellite into polar orbit until 1960.

A Ham radio operator attempted to decode the radio transmissions in an attempt to understand its purpose. He interpreted the signals to be a star chart of the Epsilon Bootes star system. He continued to attempt to interpret it and concluded that the Black Knight originated from the Epsilon Bootes system 13,000 years ago. Does this prove that there is intelligent life in the Epsilon Bootes system? Have they been watching us for 13,000 years? Or was the radio signals misinterpreted or the meaning of them made up? The answer revolves around our planet, observing us from the stars.
