Mysterious Radio Signal from Deep Space Detected By Scientists

The detection by CHIME of FRBs at lower frequencies means some of these theories will need to be reconsidered. " the sources can produce low-frequency radio waves and those low-frequency waves can escape their environment, and are not too scattered to be detected by the time they reach the Earth. We haven't solved the problem, but it's several more pieces in the puzzle," noted Tom Landecker, a CHIME team member from the National Research Council of Canada. In 2017, Professor Avi Loeb from the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics his colleague Manasvi Lingam proposed that FRBs could be leakage from planet-sized alien transmitters, reported The Guardian. ""Fast radio bursts are exceedingly bright given their short duration and origin at great distances, and we haven't identified a possible natural source with any confidence," said Loeb in a statement after the publication of a previous paper in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
