Astronomers detect eight new potential Alien Signals.
In 2007, astronomers discovered a high-energy radio signal emanating from far beyond our galaxy. And because it turned up for no obvious reason, some academics began speculating that the signal could’ve been a message from an alien civilization.
Scientists have detected dozens of fast radio bursts, FRB's since then, but only twice did they notice multiple signals coming from a single source.
Now, however, astronomers have reported finding eight new repeating FRB's — a discovery that could help us understand the strange phenomenon.

Not to rain on your parade, but a radio signal that originates from 1,000 light years away, even assuming it is from an intelligent source, is 1,000 years old.

@Sicariumif it’s a radio signal it’s probably from millions of years ago?

@SW-User If it's a million light years away, yeah. If it was from 1,000 light years away and 1 million years old, it would've passed us 999,000 years ago. Everything on the electromagnetic spectrum travels at the speed of light. However far it is in light years is how old it is.

@Sicarium Makes sense.
